Nvidia spy scare: Ruling class turns on itself as chip blockade of China fails The Nvidia spy scandal is a fight inside the United States ruling class over how to wage its economic war on China. One side wants to sell China second-rate chips and keep it dependent. The other wants a total blockade.

Thank you, Iran The people of Iran beat Donald Trump before the voters did. Eight months of resistance to the Pentagon’s bombs turned the war Trump launched on Feb. 28, 2026, into the worst strategic defeat the United States empire has ever suffered.

The vote showed workers’ anger. The class struggle will show their power The Nov. 3 vote measured the anger of the working class in the United States. It did not stop a single blow the ruling class has already scheduled. A more intense attack will land in the opening weeks of 2027, on the same workers who voted against Trump. That anger will erupt in class struggle… https://www.struggle-la-lucha.org/2026/11/08/the-vote-showed-workers-anger-the-class-struggle-will-show-their-power/

U.S. midterm elections: what changes for Cuba?

China’s Communist Party turns the blade on itself The Communist Party of China has just adopted the most sweeping program of self-discipline in its history, and the reason is written into the document itself.

The 20th Central… https://www.struggle-la-lucha.org/2026/11/06/chinas-communist-party-turns-the-blade-on-itself/

A tsunami in 2026 and a surge toward 2028 Havana, Nov. 4, 2026 The preliminary results of the so-called 2026 midterm elections in the United States paint the worst-case scenario that Donald Trump and his remaining followers within the Republican hordes (it hasn’t been a party for some time) could have imagined.
