Lift the Embargo, Yankee Imperialists!
For nearly 63 years, the Republic of Cuba has endured a horrible embargo from the capitalist-imperialist United States of America. This embargo was put in place in response to Cuba’s nationalization of American oil refineries and other progressive reforms. From the start of their genocidal campaign to weaken, demoralize, and destroy the Cuban republic, the…

Long Live the Peruvian People’s War!
May 17 is the 43rd anniversary of the people’s war in Peru. This revolution was extremely influential for the International Communist Movement (ICM), for its leading party, the Communist Party of Peru, synthesized Marxism-Leninism-Maoism; they took the theory of Mao Zedong Thought, and with the experience of its implementation in various people’s wars the world…

“Vuvuzela Stinky, Socialism Bad”
This is one of the funniest one-liners reactionaries use to attack socialism and fool workers into opposing it. People assume that Venezuela was doing really well under “laissez-faire” capitalism and only got bad when “socialists” took power and enacted welfare policies; they say Venezuela turned “socialist” after the “United Socialist Party of Venezuela” took power…

Happy Birthday, Chairman Gonzalo!
This is the second birthday of Gonzalo that we will have without him, for the Peruvian state weakened his health greatly and then killed him. Gonzalo’s contributions to Marxist theory were very important; he and his comrades in the Communist Party of Peru (PCP) synthesized Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the development from Marxism-Leninism. They proved the universality of…

Defending the PCP
Adapted from our in-progress book The PCP is the most advanced political party of our time. Naturally, it has become a victim of bourgeois propaganda of all types. Strangely, though, it seems to be that most “leftists” (revisionists, dogmatists, ultra-leftists, and other opportunists) oppose the PCP, more so than modern liberal-bourgeois media! We need to…

No to US Imperialism in Haiti!
As a lot of us have heard, the US has been calling to invade Haiti to maintain its powerful grip on the country. For many years, American capitalists have used the country as a source of profit, impoverishing the resource-rich (even oil-rich, it seems!) country. The Haitian people are rebelling against the US’s exploitation of…

“Che Guevara; Hero Of The Proletarian Movement”, By Comrade Ben Choucroun
Che Guevara was a hero. In order to explain why Che Guevara was a hero, I’ll tell the story of his life, then debunk some common attacks against Guevara. Che Guevara was born to a well-off family in Argentina. Studying to be a medical student, Guevara decided to tour South America on his motorbike. Traveling…

9/11’s (or 11/9’s) Significance
We know about the terrorist attacks that al Qaeda waged on America on this day in 2001. American media considers it to be very important, even though it often ignores much larger tragedies committed by America’s allies. (Coincidentally, as I write this, it is almost 8:14 AM; that was the time the attacks started.) However,…

Down With U.S. Imperialism
With a taste of truth, anybody could see why such a reactionary institution as the U.S. government is to be burnt to the ground. As they claim to be promoting democracy, freedom, and human rights, their practical record shows that they’ve been doing anything but that. Instead, they leave a legacy of villages bombed, activists…
