Outre-Manche, les petits réacteurs modulaires sont présentés comme une solution énergétique, mais servent d'abord les besoins stratégiques des armées. En subventionnant le nucléaire civil, citoyens et consommateurs financent indirectement la puissance militaire. La récente visite de Donald Trump au Royaume-Uni a donné lieu à un « partenariat historique » sur l'énergie nucléaire. Londres et Washington ont annoncé leur intention de construire 20 petits réacteurs modulaires et de développer (…)

Progressive Slovakia has come forward with a proposal for stronger protection of trade unionists. A liberal centrist party is thus opening a topic that one would rather expect from the left. Something has happened on the Slovak political scene that few would have expected just a few years ago. Progresivné Slovensko (Progressive Slovakia) has come forward with a proposal to strengthen the protection of trade union officials. This is happening at a time when a government composed of (…)

Gen Z organisers overthrew President Andry Rajoelina, but the country's power brokers are attempting to maintain the old system. Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, who took power following massive demonstrations by the population and particularly the youth under the Gen Z banner, rapidly backpedalled. He announced the dissolution of the principal regime institutions except for the National Assembly. One day later, Randrianirina reversed this declaration. Firstly, because the High (…)

Events accelerated this Saturday, 11 October in Madagascar. Following the sudden insurrection of 'Generation Z' a fortnight ago and its brutal repression (24 deaths according to the United Nations), President Andry Rajoelina drew closer to the army by appointing on 6 October a close associate, General Zafisambo, as the new prime minister. As in a remake of recurrent power seizures in Madagascar, the military of Capsat (Corps d'Armée des Personnels et des Services Administratifs et (…)

The second weekend in October saw Manchester host the major political festival The World Transformed. Whilst there was enormous enthusiasm for radical left-wing politics, there was also a disregard for the problems of Ukraine, as well as the Eastern EU countries. The political festival The World Transformed has run regularly since 2016 and opens space for discussion about left-wing politics in Britain. It originally emerged from enthusiasm at the moment when Jeremy Corbyn became the new (…)

Many perceive the BRICS countries as a counterweight to the dollar-dominated monetary order. However, the facts speak for themselves: at the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro (6–7 July 2025), no real desire to break away from the US currency was expressed. De-dollarisation remains a distant prospect. Many BRICS supporters claim that the bloc is moving towards de-dollarisation. Is this really the case? Nowhere in the 126-point Rio de Janeiro BRICS leaders' declaration: Vladimir Putin's (…)

For nearly four centuries, the world economy has been on a path of ever-greater integration that even two world wars could not totally derail. This long march of globalisation was powered by rapidly increasing levels of international trade and investment, coupled with vast movements of people across national borders and dramatic changes in transportation and communication technology. According to economic historian J. Bradford DeLong, the value of the world economy (measured at fixed 1990 (…)

« Exproprier Deutsche Wohnen » Le 26 septembre 2025, le collectif « Deutsche Wohnen & Co enteignen » (DWE) a présenté à la presse son projet de loi sur la socialisation (VergG-E), exactement quatre ans après le premier référendum sur la socialisation des grands groupes immobiliers dans le Land de Berlin, qui avait été approuvé à environ 59,1 % des voix. Le Sénat et la Chambre des députés ne se sont toutefois pas considérés comme tenus de prendre en compte ce référendum et l'ont tout (…)

On 26th September 2025, the initiative “Deutsche Wohnen & Co enteignen” (DWE) presented its draft for a Socialisation Law (VergG-E) to the press—exactly four years after the first referendum on the socialisation of large property corporations was accepted in the state of Berlin with around 59.1 per cent of votes cast. However, the Senate and the House of Representatives did not feel bound by this and simply ignored the referendum. Therefore, the initiators took advantage of the legally (…)

Dans ce texte, Alexis Cukier développe une analyse du rôle de la guerre dans l'Anthropocène ainsi que du développement du militarisme environnemental, puis une lecture écomarxiste de la guerre impérialiste en Ukraine et de la guerre génocidaire au Palestine dans le contexte de ce qu'il nomme le capitalisme des catastrophes, avant de proposer à la discussion des éléments pour une stratégie écosocialiste combinant lutte contre le militarisme et soutien aux résistances anti-impérialistes, y (…)

Le président russe Vladimir Poutine, vêtu d'un uniforme militaire, a annoncé le 26 octobre 2025 que la Russie avait testé avec succès un missile à propulsion nucléaire. Si cette information est avérée, une telle arme pourrait conférer à la Russie une capacité militaire unique, aux répercussions politiques plus larges. Le missile, appelé Bourevestnik, aurait été testé avec succès au-dessus de l'océan Arctique après des années de développement et plusieurs vols d'essai initiaux, dont l'un a (…)

L'arme nucléaire revient sur le devant de la scène internationale, avec les annonces successives, par Vladimir Poutine, du développement de nouveaux armements, et par Donald Trump de la reprise d'essais. Les traités de limitation des armements sont de plus en plus ignorés et cette nouvelle course entre les deux (anciens) Grands de la guerre froide pourrait, cette fois, inciter plusieurs nouveaux participants à entrer dans la compétition… Depuis une semaine, l'actualité stratégique est (…)
