  Solidarity with the Korean People Against Imperialism! For a Socialist Korea!

  

  Recent news shows that tensions between the United States of America (USA) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have risen. Korea is attacked for its nuclear testing while the US provokes those tests with geopolitical maneuvers in South Korea. Across the world, imperialists condemn the DPRK and invent all sorts of lies against…

  Say No To Libertarianism

  According to a libertarian, this is freedom. And I’m not even kidding. Cato Institute, an actual libertarian organization, states this on their “economic freedom” page. The foundations of economic freedom are personal choice, voluntary exchange, and open markets. As Adam Smith, F. A. Hayek, and Milton Friedman stressed, freedom of exchange and minimally regulated markets…

  Imperialism in Africa, and How to Fight It

  

  Anyone who has not been living under a rock realizes that the inter-imperialist contradictions of the world are becoming more intense. Concretely, we see these in the “games” America and China play in the South China Sea, the geopolitics of West Asia regarding the numerous proxy wars there, the situation in Ukraine as Russian imperialists…

  Women Hold up Half the Sky!

  March 8 is International Women’s Day. On this day in 1917, the February Revolution started as female workers protested over the rationing measures that the Russian Empire implemented for World War 1. While that revolution was only a bourgeois-democratic revolution, the proletariat and peasantry were heavily involved in it, and they were able to build…

  “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…

  Communism or Extinction?

  The phrase in the title is based on Rosa Luxemburg’s phrase, “Socialism or barbarism?” [Source]. Why do we say this? Why do we have to choose communism or face extinction? We will answer these here. The capitalist mode of production requires maximizing profit at the expense of everything else. The capitalist class must accumulate its…

  On iPhones

  

  We announce the dissolution of this project. A great person has informed us that communists use iPhones, something Marx said not to do; if we can’t get rid of them, we can’t have communism. Long live capitalism! The claim that communists should simply stop using products made in capitalist society since we oppose the exploitation…

  Yes, This is Real Capitalism

  

  A common objection socialists get is that when they criticize capitalism—especially American capitalism, arguably the most ruthless of the capitalist-imperialist systems—is that they really criticize “crony capitalism”, “corporatism”, etc., with the idea being that “not real capitalism” has more government involvement in the economy than “real” capitalism. Generally, “real” capitalism is supposed to mean free-competition…

  On the USSR’s Dissolution

  

  Our view of the USSR’s dissolution is mixed. We see that the USSR by 1991 was not a socialist state, but a capitalist-imperialist superpower with terrible problems in its system. If the country remained socialist, it probably would be around today, but its capitalist restoration weakened its economy by causing shortages, stagnation, and corruption, so…
