‘Amel-Ba’al “We are not distorting the truth when we say that the development of Western Europe, and the development of the capitalist West generally within the colonial relation, was a historical outcome of the ‘underdevelopment’ of colonised countries (of Asia, Africa, and Latin America) just as the ‘underdevelopment’ of these countries is the historical result…
Venezuela is the Linchpin of a Consistent Radical Left in the Era of Global Neofascism Led by the U.S.
Ajamu Baraka Solidarity with Palestine tests morality, but solidarity with Venezuela tests politics. The recent U.S. intervention demands a radical left move beyond symbolic outrage to a material confrontation with its own state. Palestine is the moral heart of global anti-colonial politics.

Trump, Greenland, and the Return of Territorial Empire

The Necessity of Liberation Theology in the Anti-Zionist Struggle for Palestinian Liberation
Rev. Sharon Sobukwe, Ph.D. Any assessment of Zionism that does not include the roots and foundational support of Christian-Zionism is incomplete and inadequate. Any work of anti-Zionism that does not, likewise, embrace the transformative power of liberation theology will be deficient. Zionism and Christian Zionism are intricately intertwined components of capitalist ideology. Imperialist hegemonic control…
When Empire Kidnaps and the Left Blinks: Alex Callinicos, Venezuela, and the Politics of Conditional Anti-Imperialism
Prince Kapone In his January 6, 2026 article in Socialist Worker, Alex Callinicos condemns the U.S. seizure of Venezuela’s president as a brutal assertion of hemispheric dominance, while simultaneously advancing a line that blames the Bolivarian process itself for its vulnerability.

The World in the Grip of Thuggery: Confrontation is the Solution

Beyond International Law: Washington and the Forceful Overthrow of Governments

Despite DOJ edits, it could expose more Americans to the CIA’s own history of drug trafficking. The January 3 US military raid on Venezuela to kidnap President…
Global Paleo-Coloniality: The Management of Insecurity
Xavier Villar President Nicolás Maduro was not extradited. He was kidnapped. The distinction is not a matter of legal semantics, but rather one of constitutive political violence.
