The First International Antifascist Conference, held in Porto Alegre in late March 2026, drew delegations from over forty countries in what was, by any measure, a significant act of left internationalist assembly. Italian trade union and political activist Sergio Bellavita attended and offers an assessment that is candid about both the conference's achievement and its failure. The gathering, he argues, succeeded in mobilising — but failed in analysis, substituting rhetoric for critical (…)

This year, 2026, marks the 20th anniversary of the occupation of Aracruz Celulose by women from the Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST), Via Campesina and the World March of Women – a milestone in the radicalisation of women's struggles in our country and across Latin America.

Joseph Daher analyse la nouvelle guerre d'agression coloniale israélienne contre le Liban en l'inscrivant dans le contexte post-7 octobre 2023, marquée par la guerre génocidaire menée par l'État colonial d'Israël et les ambitions impérialistes de Washington. Avec son allié israélien, ces deux puissances cherchent à imposer leurs dominations hégémoniques sur la région. En même temps, l'auteur examine les dynamiques et contraintes au sein du Hezbollah dans cette guerre, ainsi que les (…)

La Conférence internationale antifasciste vient de se tenir à Porto Alegre. A cette occasion, nous publions ci-dessous l'adresse que nous avons envoyée au comité organisateur de l'évènement afin de leur faire part de nos réserves quant au silence sur le régime de Poutine dans le fascisme contemporain, ainsi qu'à la trop faible considération pour les régimes autoritaires non directement « fascistes » que le néolibéralisme déclinant impose (par exemple la Chine). Nous joignons à cette adresse (…)
