Japanese imperialists disheartened by election results
The spectacular collapse of support for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in recent elections in Japan can be attributed to two significant factors: their failure to identify important issues in domestic politics which include living standards for the mass of the population and an unresolved corruption scandal; their failure to act effectively with important foreign policy considerations which include tariffs and the Trump administration and increasing militarisation of the ...

For Palestine: Marching on a bridge
What joy to march on the Harbour Bridge! To see those giant girders overhead, made by long dead workers, still remembered.
History in 1932. Opening celebration in those dark Depression days. A forgotten fascist slashed the ribbon. Those workers, the real history.

Gifting another $800 million to AUKUS “partners”
PM Albanese yesterday confirmed another non-refundable gift of $800 million to help pump-prime the ailing shipyards of our AUKUS “partners”, the US and British imperialists.
Together with an earlier gift of the same amount, it means that $1.6 billion of our money has been poured into the AUKUS black hole. More is to come.

New Freedom Flotilla heads for Gaza as massacres increase.
On July 20, two events, one showing the best of humanity, and one showing the worst, took place.
At the southern Italian port of Gallipoli, the latest Freedom Flotilla vessel, the Handala, departed for Gaza with aid mainly for the children who are being killed, traumatised and wounded by the sadistic butchers of the Israel Occupation Forces.
Terrorism? Where do we stand?

Thailand: Always close to a crisis
The political crisis in Thailand is best viewed in the context of the present Cold War; its origins, however, lie in the earliest days of US-China regional rivalry and the previous Cold War. Emerging social, political and economic forces have challenged the status quo inside the conservative kingdom, facilitating a political environment marked by constant stand-offs. The popularist forces have, nevertheless, successfully challenged traditional class and state power, and correspondingly, ...

The excessive cost of the US-led policies of "constructive chaos"
The US peace initiative between Israel and Iran is to be welcomed although it cannot be regarded as an example of skilful diplomacy by Washington. It is more in line with an act of desperation by the Trump administration; a changing balance of forces across the Middle East has had serious implications for traditional hegemonic and diplomatic relations. The terminology used by the US has carried the hallmarks of a ...
