Bohdan Krawchenko is a veteran of the Ukrainian left who helped found the journal Dii͡aloh (Dialog) in the diaspora, co-founded the Marxist journal Critique, and spent fifteen years building Ukraine's public administration after independence. In this wide-ranging interview with Spilne (Commons), Ukraine's leading left-wing journal, Krawchenko traces the genealogy of the Ukrainian anti-Stalinist left from displaced persons camps in postwar Canada, through dissident networks and the European (…)

As US and Israeli military strikes reshape the Middle East, Andrea Ferrario examines Beijing's response to the destruction wrought on Iran since June 2025. Drawing on eight months of developments — from the 12-day war to the assassination of Khamenei on 28 February 2026 — Ferrario traces the structural asymmetry at the heart of Sino-Iranian relations: a partnership sustained by discounted oil and diplomatic formulas, in which China has consistently pulled back from material commitment at (…)

Un nouvel accident mortel sur le site de l'ancienne usine Ilva de Tarente alors que la production stagne et que le ministre Urso ne bouge pas. Mobilisation des ouvriers. Solidarité de Sinistra Anticapitalista [depuis Tarente, Francesco Maresca] Il est révoltant d'assister à une série d'accidents mortels qui sont presque des copies conformes les uns des autres. D'après ce que nous savons, il s'agit une fois de plus d'une « passerelle qui cède ». Cela semble être un coup du sort, mais ce (…)

Pakistan's declaration of “open war” against the Afghan Taliban in early 2026 marks a dramatic reversal: Islamabad now wages war against a regime it spent decades cultivating. In this interview with Alternative Viewpoint, Pakistani left activist and academic Farooq Sulehria traces the crisis to its structural roots — the “strategic depth” doctrine, decades of proxy jihadist patronage, and the ideological character of Taliban rule. Sulehria identifies the conflict as a collision of (…)

On 28 February 2026, the United States and Israel launched a military attack on Iran, killing over 1,000 people within five days and triggering a regional humanitarian crisis. Free Women, the Indonesian socialist feminist organisation, condemns the attack as an act of imperialist colonisation aimed at controlling Iran's oil resources — not at liberating its people. The statement affirms the Iranian people's right to determine their own future, honours the long history of Iranian women's (…)

With global attention fixed on the escalating U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, Israel has imposed a total military closure on the occupied West Bank. Israeli settlers, backed by the army, are seizing the opportunity to try to expel more rural Palestinian communities from their land, as they did in the days immediately following October 7. Within hours of the war beginning on Saturday morning, the Israeli army shut all checkpoints across the West Bank and blocked roads between cities and (…)

The Communist Party of Bangladesh–Marxist-Leninist (CPBML) strongly condemns and protests the unprovoked military attack by U.S. imperialism on Iran. This aggression carried out by the U.S. administration under the leadership of Donald Trump is not an isolated or accidental incident; rather, it is a manifestation of imperialism's long-standing war policy aimed at managing the deepening global capitalist crisis. Through this attack, a dangerous conspiracy is being pursued to push the whole of (…)

The recent military strike on Iran by the Donald Trump-led U.S. administration is neither an isolated, sudden, nor emotion-driven decision. It is part of a long-term imperialist strategy, rooted in the oil-dependent global economy, the internal crises of capitalist power, and the historical process of shifting global power balances in the twenty-first century. If this attack is explained merely in terms of Iran's nuclear program, Middle Eastern instability, or a narrow framework of regional (…)
