Gusanos and traitors: The Cuban-American servants of U.S. Imperialism

For more than six decades, U.S. imperialism has tried to crush the Cuban Revolution through blockade, sanctions, sabotage, subversion and economic strangulation. Washington has never forgiven Cuba for breaking with U.S. domination and choosing socialism.

A particularly reactionary layer of Cuban-American politicians — the political descendants of Miami’s gusano counterrevolution — has made this aggression a career. 

 

CIA’s anti-communist feminist icon Gloria Steinem dies

Gloria Steinem, one of the most prominent figures of U.S. liberal feminism, died on September 2 at the age of 92. Mainstream obituaries have overwhelmingly celebrated her as a pioneer of the women’s movement. Far less attention has been given to another documented part of her political record: her collaboration with the CIA during the Cold War.

Before becoming a leading feminist figure, Steinem worked closely with CIA operatives through the Independent Research Service, a CIA-financed organization created to intervene in the World Youth Festivals in Vienna in 1959 and Helsinki in 1962.

“At a time when the ruthless occupying state of Israel, backed by the US and the EU, is continuing its deadly attacks and threats in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria and the broader region, and as the US - Israel war against Iran is escalating, a highly dangerous series of settlement activities in the Palestinian West Bank is being resumed.

Trump and Rubio should be investigated for genocide against socialist Cuba

By Nikos Mottas

For more than six decades, the United States has attempted to disguise its aggressive imperialist policy toward Cuba as a question of “national security,” diplomatic pressure or concern for “democracy”. 

Behind this sanitized vocabulary stands a far more brutal reality: economic strangulation, political coercion, extraterritorial intimidation and the deliberate worsening of the material conditions of life of an entire people because that people refuses to renounce its Revolution.

The Tudeh Party of Iran has issued a strong condemnation of the latest U.S. military attacks against Iran, denouncing what it describes as the third direct act of U.S. imperialist aggression against the country and warning that Washington's escalating military campaign threatens to plunge the region into an even more devastating conflict.

“Yanks to the Rescue”: 30 years since the U.S. helped re-elect Boris Yeltsin

The 3rd of July marked the 30th anniversary of Boris Yeltsin's re-election in one of the most consequential presidential contests of the twentieth century. Western governments, corporate media and international financial institutions celebrated the result as a triumph of "democracy" over the alleged threat of a communist return. 

For the Russian working class, however, the election meant something entirely different. It marked the decisive consolidation of the capitalist counter-revolution that had begun with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

If Communism Is Dead, Why Is Trump Still Fighting It?

By Nikos Mottas 

 

Donald Trump's latest anti-communist offensive once again invoked the familiar spectre of an alleged communist threat to the United States. Yet it is the occasion, rather than the speech itself, that reveals the real political purpose of his intervention. It was not provoked by the emergence of a revolutionary workers' movement, the growth of a mass Communist Party or a wave of socialist expropriations.

Similarly, on March 13, 1962, in San Nicolás de Bari, then in Havana, the young Andrés Rojas Acosta was hanged with the same rope he was using to tie up his pig, a crime committed by the gang of the mercenary Waldemar Hernández.
