Ten Years after the Death of Hugo Chávez

EARLY into his term as the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez reflected on how he had read “a book by Plekhanov a long time ago and it made a big impression on me. It was called The Role of the Individual in History.” That book, written by the Russian Marxist Georgi Plekhanov and published in 1898, is a reflection on the role of the idea of “great men” driving history forward, and of the rise of individual attacks of terrorism in Russia against the entrenched and wretched Tsarist system.

Who’s Winning and Losing the Economic War Over Ukraine?

With the Ukraine war now reaching its one-year mark on February 24, the Russians have not achieved a military victory but neither has the West achieved its goals on the economic front. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the United States and its European allies vowed to impose crippling sanctions that would bring Russia to its knees and force it to withdraw.Western sanctions would erect a new Iron Curtain, hundreds of miles to the east of the old one, separating an isolated, defeated, bankrupt Russia from a reunited, triumphant and prosperous West.

US Escalates the New Cold War in Asia

IN early February, the United States government announced that it would be exercising a 2014 agreement with the Philippines to set up new bases on Luzon Island, at the archipelago’s north. These bases will likely hold aircraft capable of striking targets in China, including around the vicinity of Taiwan.

Devastating Earthquake: Diary of the Communist Party of Turkey

We are on the third day of the great disaster. Turkey has enough medical doctors, equipment, tents, fuel and planes, yet it can be clearly seen that there are immense delays or difficulties in the delivery of necessary humanitarian and material aid to the region, their arrival to the hands of the correct contact persons and establishing control in general.The observations of TKP member healthcare workers are proving this. There are no search and rescue operations in the south of Hatay Dörtyol.

AIPSO Statement

THE All India Peace and Solidarity Organisation (AIPSO), in a statement issued on February 7, expressed its deep grief to the people of Turkey and Syria who faced one of the severest earthquakes to strike that region. More than 3,000 people have died and many more are injured. Reports suggest that the death toll might rise as the rescue operations gather pace.The AIPSO urges the governments of Turkey and Syria to prioritise relief and rescue operations. It demands the US, NATO and other military forces active in the region to immediately cease their operations and withdraw at least now.

The Outrages against the People of Afghanistan

IN January 2023, three important leaders from the United Nations (UN) visited Afghanistan. Amina Mohammed, deputy secretary-general, Sima Bahous, director of UN Women, and Khaled Khairi, assistant secretary-general for the UN’s peacekeeping operations, spent four days in the country, meeting Taliban leaders in Kabul and Kandahar. The UN officials ‘conveyed the alarm over the recent decree banning women for national and international non-governmental organisations, a move that undermines the work of numerous organisations helping millions of vulnerable Afghans’.

Time to Resist, Struggle and Defeat Imperialism

WITHIN a week after the swearing in of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as the president of Brazil, supporters of Jair Bolsonaro, who was defeated in the elections attacked the three wings of the government in Brazil. They tried to occupy the legislature, judiciary and executive buildings in Brasilia, the capital city. Timely intervention of the federal government nipped in bud their attempt to destabilise the democratically elected government of Lula.What had happened in Brazil is more or less a replica of what the supporters of Donald Trump tried to do on January 6, 2021 in Washington, US.

Israel – an Apartheid State – Deepens Its Oppression of the Palestinians

ON January 8, 2023, the Israeli government revoked the travel permit of Riyad al-Maliki. This act is not unusual, since Israel controls the movements of all Palestinians and routinely denies Palestinians the right to mobility, especially between the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza, and the territories designated as Israel. The apartheid wall that snakes around the West Bank has a few gates where Palestinians stand in long, interminable queues where they experience terrible humiliation trying to go to work in Israel or trying to meet family members separated by the Israeli occupation.
