- [Threat to NATO or threat from NATO?](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/07/07/threat-to-nato-or-threat-from-nato/) - NATO is the core military alliance of the European and North American imperialist states structured around the predominance - increasingly brashly and recklessly asserted - of the US. Smaller direct alliances in the Pacific with Japan and S Korea, and AUKUS complement it, with Israel as a West Asian frontier state. Countries seeking to join it are aiming to become junior members of the global predators’ club.
- [The aims of NATO/U.S. organized missile attacks inside Russia go far beyond Russia alone](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/07/07/the-aims-of-nato-u-s-organized-missile-attacks-inside-russia-go-far-beyond-russia-alone/) - These military attacks deep inside Russia are in reality also aimed by the United States against China and against the Global South.
- [National March for Palestine – 18 July](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/07/06/national-march-for-palestine-18-july/) - National March for Palestine Tell the new PM No To War End the genocide Sanctions Now Assemble: 12 Noon – Central London
- [Starmer did not keep Britain out of the US war on Iran](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/07/04/starmer-did-not-keep-britain-out-of-the-us-war-on-iran/) - Britain supported the US and Israel. From the 1st of March — the day after the opening of the war — the British government allowed US B-1, B-2, and B-52 bombers to fly from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire to conduct strikes against Iran.
- [Swaziland - Africa’s last absolute monarch: A nation suffering in silence and isolation](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/07/03/africas-last-absolute-monarch-a-nation-suffering-in-silence-and-isolation/) - Africa’s last absolute monarchy remains a kingdom marked by contradiction: immense royal authority alongside widespread suffering; cultural pride alongside political exclusion; silence enforced by fear, yet resistance sustained by generations unwilling to surrender the dream of freedom.
- [NATO 3.0: Alliance or military-industrial investment fund?](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/07/02/nato-3-0-alliance-or-military-industrial-investment-fund/) - The Ankara NATO summit will not only discuss defence and deterrence; it will reveal how deeply the future of capitalism, technology and organised violence has become intertwined. It will be yet another chapter in the political economy of permanent mobilization for warfare.
- [President Miguel Díaz-Canel’s speeches about Cuba’s economic and social reforms](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/07/01/president-miguel-diaz-canels-speeches-about-cubas-economic-and-social-reforms/) - Speeches by Cuba’s President Miguel Díaz-Canel about the economic and social reforms that have been announced.
- [Marxism, Black Liberation and the Global Class Struggle](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/06/30/marxism-black-liberation-and-the-global-class-struggle/) - • The history of global capitalism is inseparable from the histories of slavery, colonialism, and settler colonialism. • The Black liberation struggle — that is the struggle against the oppression of the people of non-European origin by the people of European origin — plus the struggle for liberation and Self-Determination, and the class struggle are clearly linked.
- [The current attack on voting rights and the midterm elections](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/06/29/the-current-attack-on-voting-rights-and-the-midterm-elections/) - The growth of large metropolitan centres, especially in the South, has transformed the growing urban population – with more Black, Latino, Asian, progressive, and unionised voters. For the ruling class this poses a threat which requires a response - either diluting, or outright preventing these votes from being expressed.
- [Iran inflicts another defeat upon US imperialism](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/06/23/iran-inflicts-another-defeat-upon-us-imperialism/) - The signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by Iran and the United States does not signify the end to US imperialism’s long-term assault upon the Islamic Republic. We must now press the US to honour and implement the commitments made in the MOU.
- [Why we must mobilise against the far right](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/06/16/why-we-must-mobilise-against-the-far-right/) - Anti-racists and Black Liberation activists must discuss this new situation. A counter movement has to be mobilised, building on and extending the currently existing movements. The new blog For Liberation, Against Racism, will contribute to that discussion.
- [World Cup 2026: Omar Artan, the visa bans, and the racism in the room](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/06/11/world-cup-2026-omar-artan-the-visa-bans-and-the-racism-in-the-room/) - What surrounds the 2026 World Cup is a concentrated form of how the United States conducts itself more broadly. A state that stratifies entry to its territory by race and by geopolitical alignment has staged the world’s most international event, and has carried that stratification intact into the stadium.
- [Stop ReArm Europe - Protest Europe’s rearmament drive 14 June Brussels](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/06/09/stop-rearm-europe-protest-europes-rearmament-drive-14-june-brussels/) - Stop ReArm Europe - Campaigners from across Europe are gathering in Brussels on June 14 to oppose Europe’s accelerating militarisation and cuts to public services.
- [The two-tier system is real - Which way does it run?](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/06/08/the-two-tier-system-is-real-which-way-does-it-run/) - The far right are not exposing the tier system. They are using one tragedy to make the tier system harder to see. What the Nowak case exposes is not anti-white prejudice. It exposes a police force that is institutionally dysfunctional and that operates without adequate accountability mechanisms.
- [The hierarchy of racism in Britain](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/06/04/the-hierarchy-of-racism-in-britain/) - Anti-black racism and Islamophobia are not incidental features of British society. They are foundational to it. The hierarchy of racism in Britain is not an oversight. It expresses the relationship between racism and the economic structures from which it arose.
- [A base, not a gift: Israel’s recognition of Somaliland and the war for the Red Sea](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/06/03/a-base-not-a-gift-israels-recognition-of-somaliland-and-the-war-for-the-red-sea/) - Israel's recognition of Somaliland was not a unilateral initiative or a diplomatic improvisation. The recognition was a military act. The peoples of the Horn of Africa are being drawn into a conflict whose objectives have nothing to do with their interests.
- [NATO countries escalating military attacks in Russia create an increasingly dangerous situation in Europe](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/05/29/nato-countries-escalating-military-attacks-in-russia-create-an-increasingly-dangerous-situation-in-europe/) - The disastrous decision to expand NATO eastwards, and to try to include Ukraine in it, always created the strategic risk of a general war in Europe. NATO's current actions are turning that strategic threat into a short-term one.
- [The US at war with West Asia](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/05/28/the-us-at-war-with-west-asia/) - US imperialism’s war against Iran is entering its thirteenth week and likely to be protracted. It has killed thousands in Iran and devastated many buildings. It is also having an immense impact on the economy across the globe, and here in Britain.
- [After Orbán, Hungary faces renewed pressure to support increases in EU military spending and reduce trade with China](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/05/14/after-orban-hungary-faces-renewed-pressure-to-support-increases-in-eu-military-spending-and-reduce-trade-with-china/) - Any change in Hungary’s policy towards Ukraine will have repercussions in Central and Eastern Europe. Orbán had previously aligned closely with the Slovakian PM Robert Fico around the war in Ukraine and more recently with the Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, who was elected in December 2025.
- [Defending Iran against US and Israeli aggression will be a prolonged struggle](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/05/13/defending-iran-against-us-and-israeli-aggression-will-be-a-prolonged-struggle/) - The US does not need west Asia’s oil for itself, its strategy is to be able to deny it to others, particularly China. Because this is key for the US, it will not give up its attack on Iran, only the forms will change. Trump has lost the first round in this war on Iran, but it is too early to assume the US will lose the war.
- [Sinn Féin Ard Fheis 2026 – the complexity of progress](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/05/11/sinn-fein-ard-fheis-2026-the-complexity-of-progress/) - This year’s Ard Fheis registered the continuing strength of Sinn Féin and the complexity of the tasks it now faces. It is the strongest party in the north and polling ahead of the two governing coalition parties in the south.
- [La France Insoumise is building momentum for a strong left in the 2027 presidential election](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/04/29/la-france-insoumise-is-building-momentum-for-a-strong-left-in-the-2027-presidential-election/) - After its historic electoral breakthrough in the recent municipal elections, La France Insoumise (LFI) has adopted its political Roadmap for the 2027 presidential election. It is proposing to unite a broad coalition around a programme of radical change or rupture – with opposition to austerity, racism and war at the heart of that programme.
- [Iran won the first battle against the US, but the war is far from over](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/04/20/iran-won-the-first-battle-against-the-us-but-the-war-is-far-from-over/) - Iran has won the first battle in the US war of aggression against it. But it is an error to claim, as some genuinely and rightly against the US aggression have done, that Iran has yet won the war. This is based on an underestimation of the strength and ruthlessness of US imperialism.
- [Damaging economic confusion in the West on consumption in China](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/03/06/damaging-economic-confusion-in-the-west-on-consumption-in-china/) - An increase in the percentage of consumption in GDP will lead to a lower rate of growth of consumption, and therefore of living standards, and slower rate of GDP growth.
- [250 years of the rising organic composition of capital: The factual correctness of Marx, Smith and Keynes](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/04/10/250-years-of-the-rising-organic-composition-of-capital-the-factual-correctness-of-marx-smith-and-keynes/) - The rising proportion of the economy used for investment is one of the most central predictions of Marx’s Capital—or, as he terms it, the “rising organic composition of capital.” Such a rising proportion of investment in the economy was, less systematically, also predicted by Adam Smith, and by, for somewhat different reasons, by John Maynard Keynes.
- [Challenges for the anti-war movement in the fight against the US/Israeli attack on Iran](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/03/31/challenges-for-the-anti-war-movement-in-the-fight-against-the-us-israeli-attack-on-iran/) - A US escalation of its war on Iran carries the threat of world recession, climate catastrophes and horrendous levels of fatalities and suffering. The anti-war movement must be preparing to oppose any escalation and work to achieve a wider mobilisation.
- [US war on Iran exposes the hollowness of Modi’s foreign policy](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/03/17/us-war-on-iran-exposes-the-hollowness-of-modis-foreign-policy/) - The Indian government has been assiduously pursuing a subordinated partnership with the United States and is pandering to US misadventures – a path that is against the material interests of India and its people.
- [Cuba will survive: a diary](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/03/16/cuba-will-survive-a-diary/) - Vijay Prashad’s account of his recent visit to Cuba and the impact of the US oil blockade on Cubans’ daily lives.
- [The unbreakable China-Latin America ties](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/03/12/the-unbreakable-china-latin-america-ties/) - China-Latin America cooperation is growing because it is mutually beneficial. Latin America has gained markets for its commodities, secured investment in desperately needed infrastructure and access to affordable technology. It’s this kind of common prosperity that will outlast any one president or political conflict.
- [The Labour government is intensifying attacks on disabled people](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/03/11/the-labour-government-is-intensifying-attacks-on-disabled-people/) - A hallmark of Starmer’s government is its attacks on some of the most oppressed in society and the use of reactionary, divisive rhetoric to justify these. So it is with the relentless assault on disabled people. Oppose this deeply negative direction of political travel.
- [The Labour government’s immigration policy is straight out of the Trump playbook](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/03/06/the-labour-governments-immigration-policy-is-straight-out-of-the-trump-playbook/) - The Labour government in Britain is pursuing a similar line on immigration to Trump, and with similar motivations. It is going much further than its Tory predecessors in demonising and attacking both asylum-seekers and migrant workers.
- [Trump 2.0 is not retreating – it is recalibrating for global confrontation](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/02/18/trump-2-0-is-not-retreating-it-is-recalibrating-for-global-confrontation/) - Despite claims otherwise, the second Trump presidency does not signal a US pullback into the western hemisphere. There is no change in US goals.
- [Vote for The Many slate in Your Party elections](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/02/11/vote-for-the-many-slate-in-your-party-elections/) - The possibility of developing a viable mass-oriented party of the left depends on victory for the slate headed and backed by Jeremy Corbyn, ‘The Many’.
- [The autonomous resistance to racism and Islamophobia in France](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/01/30/the-autonomous-resistance-to-racism-and-islamophobia-in-france/) - The most predominant racism in France since WWII accompanied and followed the Algerian War of Independence, 1954-1961; to be more accurate, we should say a deep hatred towards Algerians and by extension towards all Arabs.
- [Palestine under Hyper-Imperialism](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/01/27/palestine-under-hyper-imperialism/) - The catastrophe endured by the Palestinian people since 2023 can best be understood within the framework of the growing ferocity of US imperialism in its era of “Hyper-imperialism”.
- [Deng Xiaoping and John Maynard Keynes](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/01/22/deng-xiaoping-and-john-maynard-keynes/) - The importance of China’s economy is twofold. The first is the material scale of China’s economic achievement. The second is the conclusions that can be drawn for other countries—the “universalizable”, or not, character of China’s economic system.
- [Support ‘The Many’ slate for Your Party elections](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/01/21/support-the-many-slate-for-your-party-elections/) - With The Many as its leadership it may be possible for Your Party to get back on track, turn outwards and unite with its allies in the social and labour movements - to confront austerity, poverty, racism, oppression and war. This is what is objectively needed.
- [Chokepoints – How the Global Economy Became a Weapon of War - Review](https://www.socialistaction.net/2026/01/12/chokepoints-how-the-global-economy-became-a-weapon-of-war-review/) - Critical review of a book that is, above all, a defence of US foreign policy, and a justification of measures against the civilian populations of the countries targeted by the sanctions of the US and its allies.

- [The UK government chooses War over Climate](https://www.socialistaction.net/2025/12/05/the-uk-government-chooses-war-over-climate/) - This contradiction between the drive to war and global cooperation to save ourselves from climate breakdown is becoming ever more stark.
- [A fork in the road for Your Party](https://www.socialistaction.net/2025/12/22/a-fork-in-the-road-for-your-party/) - Your Party faces the fundamental question of its orientation. Only Corbyn’s left social democratic perspective offers a genuine way forward.
- [West Africa Explodes](https://www.socialistaction.net/2025/12/19/west-africa-explodes/) - Developments such as the AES in West Africa, which embody sovereignty and resource nationalism, and provide an example of progress for the entire continent, represent an obstacle to the path outlined in the US National Security Strategy.

It claims it is neutralising the far right, when the real effect is the opposite. Oppose Labour’s attempt to mimic Reform’s agenda.
- [Xi Jinping’s “common destiny of humanity” analysed in terms of Marxist, classical Chinese, and “Western” frameworks](https://www.socialistaction.net/2025/09/22/xi-jinpings-common-destiny-of-humanity-analysed-in-terms-of-marxist-classical-chinese-and-western-frameworks/) - Different national cultures have different starting points, and different ways of arriving at the truth, but the truth is objective. It may flow from the economics of Smith, or Marxism, or classical Chinese thought but it expresses objective reality.

As Melenchon said, Bayrou fell, and now it is Macron who is on the front line against the people. He must go!
- [Starmer, Macron and Merz risk a new war on Iran](https://www.socialistaction.net/2025/09/12/starmer-macron-and-merz-risk-a-new-war-on-iran/) - The course Starmer, Macron and Merz have opened, the reimposition of all sanctions and embargos on Iran, if not blocked, will have two consequences. Firstly, it is certain to assault the living standards, welfare, and life expectancy of over ninety million Iranians. Secondly, it is most likely to trigger a new war on Iran.

The common political feature is the rise of right wing leaderships, a racist offensive designed to divide workers and the rise of authoritarianism. Britain is no exception.
- [Where are Labour voters going?](https://www.socialistaction.net/2025/07/17/where-are-labour-voters-going/) - Voters say Labour is losing votes because it is too right-wing. It is mainly losing votes to its left or deterring voters from voting at all. It is right-wing myth-making that Labour’s is losing votes solely or mainly to Reform.

To succeed in the current period, it will need consistent opposition to war, austerity and racism, the oppression of women and every other form of oppression and tackling climate change will also have to be central to its politics.
- [Epping: The far-right assault on asylum hotels](https://www.socialistaction.net/2025/07/23/epping-the-far-right-assault-on-asylum-hotels/) - The Labour government should not be echoing the agenda of Reform UK – amplifying the myths about “grooming gangs” or migrant crime. Leaning into sensationalist misinformation about child abuse or pressing ahead with citizenship stripping is stoking the xenophobic tinder that far-right groups exploit.

Regrettably, this economic win by China is unlikely to reduce US hostility. Like a cornered tiger, America may become even more aggressive – as shown in its recent policies on Ukraine and Taiwan.

- [Will the people with guns allow our planet to breathe?](https://www.socialistaction.net/2021/11/07/will-the-people-with-guns-allow-our-planet-to-breathe/) - Tragically, the COP26 process has been swept into the matrix of dangerous geopolitical tensions, driven largely by the United States in its quest to prevent China’s scientific and technological advancement. Rather than focus on the necessary energy transition, developed countries have taken to crude propaganda against a handful of developing states such as China and India. It is likely that COP26 will be a failure.

The U.S. attack on China and India, the first of which has per capita carbon emissions 46% of the U.S. and the second of which has per capita emissions 12% of the U.S., is therefore a grotesque frameup.

It also makes all adherents of the “neither Washington nor Beijing” position look more than a little ridiculous.

For Labour to win it is vital Scottish Labour improves on its poor performances at the 2015 and 2017 general elections. That requires the Scottish party to change its political orientation. A new leadership is needed that will promote Jeremy Corbyn's popular anti-austerity agenda to the Scottish electorate.

The poll overall represents a shift to the left, but a shift insufficient to place the anti-austerity forces in government.
- [After Beckett Report - Labour can win if voters believe they will be better off](https://www.socialistaction.net/2016/01/20/after-beckett-report-labour-can-win-if-voters-believe-they-will-be-better-off/) - The Beckett report into why Labour lost the election has finally been published.

- [Better off with Labour – Labour’s need for a strategic approach](https://www.socialistaction.net/2016/02/15/better-off-with-labour-labours-need-for-a-strategic-approach/) - By Jude Woodward The political situation It is now a relatively short time before the May elections, which will be widely taken as the next key test of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party that can be foreseen in advance.

The Tory government defends continued oil and gas exploration in the North Sea. So, its message at COP26 will be “do as I say, not as I do".
- [Labour should be leading the way on the climate](https://www.socialistaction.net/2021/08/27/labour-should-be-leading-the-way-on-the-climate/) - Labour Leader Keir Starmer has recently staked out a distinct position from the Tory government on climate change, that falls well short of what is needed. Labour proposes that £30 billion is put into a "green recovery” - well below the £85 billion investment proposed by the TUC. There needs to be an unremitting campaign to pressure the government, but Starmer is reluctant to challenge it.

Instead, the US has identified a strategic enemy in China along with its Russian ally and the entire focus must be directed towards blocking its rise. This is the new number one aim and overwhelming priority of the US.

- [Right-wing hysteria as Corbyn consolidates team](https://www.socialistaction.net/2015/10/28/right-wing-hysteria-as-corbyn-consolidates-team/) - By Jane West The appointment of Seumas Milne as Labour’s director of strategy and communication is the second key appointment of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership to come under particularly frenzied attack from the Tory media – the first being the appointment of John McDonnell as Shadow Chancellor. The reason is that each decisively indicated the fundamental orientation of the Corbyn leadership of the Labour Party and that it had no intention of backing down in the face of the hostility of the right.
- [There should be a new referendum when the real terms for Brexit are known](https://www.socialistaction.net/2016/06/24/there-should-be-a-new-referendum-when-the-real-terms-for-brexit-are-known/) - By Jane West On Thursday 23 June the electorate in Britain voted narrowly – by fewer than 1.3m votes, that is less than 2 per cent of the population – for a lie. They voted for the lie that if Britain came out of the EU it could maintain all the benefits of EU membership – free trade in Europe, the leading role of London, all the protections that came with EU legislation for human rights, the environment, for working conditions etc – without the downsides. These downsides were presented as ‘uncontrolled immigration’, loss of ‘sovereignty’ and a subsidy to the EU that could otherwise be spent on the NHS.
- [Supporting Corbyn and opposing Brexit](https://www.socialistaction.net/2017/03/20/supporting-corbyn-and-opposing-brexit/) - By Jane West There are two distinct projects in Britain to drive down the living standards of the working class and so drive up profits. One is the project of European Union big capital, which is to drive down the share of the economy that goes to the working class and raise profits, through slow attrition meaning a permanent squeeze on public spending, reducing the welfare state and wage decline or low growth. The other is the Brexit project which is an immediate and ferocious assault on living standards, trade union rights and public services.
- [Macron may have won, but he will fail](https://www.socialistaction.net/2017/05/13/macron-may-have-won-but-he-will-fail/) - By Jane West The French presidential elections ended with Macron sweeping into the Élysée Palace on 66 per cent of the vote, and Le Pen roundly defeated. But this is the beginning, not the end. Macron has no alternative to the politics of austerity that have destroyed the Socialist Party, and therefore he will fail. His popularity will be short-lived and the fight between the left and the far right as to which will succeed in hegemonising the increasing alienated French electorate will break out with renewed force.
- [Defending living standards not the EU is the biggest issue in British politics](https://www.socialistaction.net/2017/07/01/defending-living-standards-not-the-eu-is-the-biggest-issue-in-british-politics/) - By Jane West Labour’s successful campaign, in comparison with the Tories’ set back, at June’s General Election was due to the growing rejection of austerity, which trumped May’s assumption that a mandate for Brexit would be the decisive issue. The fact that defence of living standards, not the EU, is the biggest issue in British politics was also at the root of the setback for both the SNP and the Lib Dems in the election.
- [Labour's new EU policy](https://www.socialistaction.net/2017/09/03/labours-new-eu-policy/) - By Jane West Labour’s announcement of its new policy for the Brexit negotiations – that the UK should stay within the Single Market and the customs union for a prolonged ‘transition period’ after formally leaving the EU – is both necessary and welcome. This approach puts the preservation of jobs and living standards rather than the anti-EU ideological shibboleths of the Tory right at the centre of the Brexit discussion.
- [Ignore the hype, Trump won by default](https://www.socialistaction.net/2016/11/09/ignore-the-hype-trump-won-by-default/) - By Jude Woodward The victory of Donald Trump has handed the most powerful office on earth into the hands of someone whose promises include a giant wall along the Mexican border, the expulsion of 11 million ‘illegal immigrants’ – roughly 6 per cent of the US workforce – ‘extreme vetting’ for any Muslim seeking to enter the country, the repeal of Obamacare, keeping existing gun laws and punishing women who seek an abortion. He denies the existence of climate change, proposes to engage in a new era of protectionist trade policies, professes to ‘love war’, and is prone to casual racism, misogyny and bigotry towards Jews, LGBT people, Latinos and any other minority group.
- [No to Islamophobia - Solidarity with the Finsbury Park Mosque](https://www.socialistaction.net/2017/06/20/no-to-islamophobia-solidarity-with-the-finsbury-park-mosque/) - By Jude Woodward The dangerous consequences of May and the Tories scapegoating of Muslims and migrants has been given terrible reality by the Islamophobic terrorist attack on a mosque in Islington.
- [Kick out the Tories – put Ed Miliband in Number 10](https://www.socialistaction.net/2015/02/18/kick-out-the-tories-put-ed-miliband-in-number-10/) - By Jane West There are only two possible outcomes to the General Election in May this year. Either Cameron will be returned to Number 10 or he will be replaced by Ed Miliband as Labour Prime Minister. For the left and all progressive people the choice is unequivocal: kick out the Tories and put Ed Miliband and Labour in Number 10.

But above all, racism is a set of institutions and ideology which justifies the oppression and exploitation of the non-white majority of humanity.

- [America’s ‘Pacific pivot’: Round One to China](https://www.socialistaction.net/2014/12/07/americas-pacific-pivot-round-one-to-china/) - The following article by Jude Woodward, assessing the US 'Pacific pivot' strategy following Obama's recent visit to Asia, originally appeared on her New Cold War blog. Obama’s November week-long, whistle stop tour of Asia – attending the Beijing APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation) summit, the ASEAN meeting in Myanmar and the G20 in Australia – was intended to re-launch America’s crucial Asia-Pacific (aka China) strategy, in the doldrums since Obama’s aborted 2013 trip cancelled in the context of the ‘fiscal cliff’ crisis.[1] Instead the trip merely underlined how much ground the USA has to make up in order to trump China’s growing influence in the region.
- [The US escalates tensions in South China Sea](https://www.socialistaction.net/2015/11/09/the-us-escalates-tensions-in-south-china-sea/) - At the end of October the USA escalated tensions in the South China Sea by sending an American destroyer within the 12-mile coastal limit of Chinese held islets. Having been threatening to take some form of action against China in the South China Sea for several months, the US action when it came was rather limited. But nonetheless it was a provocative act and elicited a strong verbal response from China.

- [US election: Trump won, but only because Clinton lost](https://www.socialistaction.net/2016/11/10/us-election-trump-won-but-only-because-clinton-lost/) - The victory of Donald Trump has handed the most powerful office on earth into the hands of someone whose promises include a giant wall across the Mexican border, the expulsion of 11 million ‘illegal immigrants’ – roughly 6% of the US workforce – ‘extreme vetting’ for any Muslim seeking to enter the country, the repeal of Obamacare, keeping existing gun laws and punishing women who seek an abortion. He denies the existence of climate change, proposes to engage in a new era of protectionist trade policies, professes to ‘love war’, and is prone to casual racism, misogyny and bigotry towards Jews, LGBT people, Latinos and any other minority group.

Trump’s dramatic escalation of sabre-rattling over North Korea from mid-April was not triggered by any new provocative action by North Korea nor any notable advance in its nuclear or missile programme, although in the din of overwrought rhetoric emanating from Mar-a-lago it appeared that the US and North Korea's neighbours faced an imminent threat. But this crisis was conveniently timed to influence the outcome of the South Korean presidential elections due on 9th May.

The furore in the US and Europe over Trump’s relations with Russia is not just a storm in a teacup but the manifestation of a serious fight at the heart of the US foreign policy establishment over how the US should orient strategically to Russia in the context of the chief question that the US confronts internationally – the rise of China.
- [Is Trump losing South Korea?](https://www.socialistaction.net/2017/05/08/is-trump-losing-south-korea/) - The following article by Jude Woodward, about South Korea's election on 9 May, was originally published by New Cold War.org. A significant initial impact of the crisis that Trump has whipped up over North Korea was to push security issues up the agenda in South Korean politics, aiding the US in speeding up the deployment of Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) and boosting the poll ratings of the more pro-US candidate in the Presidential elections due on May. But Trump’s more recent statements about this key US Northeast Asian ally have been so casually insulting that they have led to an upsurge in anti-US sentiment as the elections draw closer.

His LDP/Komeito Party ruling coalition won over two-thirds – 313 – of the seats in the lower house of the Japanese Parliament. Taken together with the coalition’s existing two-thirds majority in the upper house, the election delivered a ‘super-majority’ for Abe which potentially allows him to take such steps as changing the Japanese constitution without consulting the opposition parties.

The decision in 1914 of the Irish National Volunteers and the Irish Parliamentary Party to support the British government in the inter-imperialist war effectively subsumed the national movement.

It will probably do serious damage to our public services, even if big exemptions and exclusions from the new restrictions are finally put in place. Behind all the populist rhetoric about restricting cheap labour, the major risk is that the system is actually designed to create a new, lower category of worker in this country, akin to something like the gastarbeiter (“guest worker”) status in Germany.

The section of his rapidly spelt out agenda which attracted immediate left-wing media attention is the assault on working class rights in Britain.

In the election the working class and oppressed have suffered a serious defeat at the hands of the Tories. It means that the Tory Party, purged even of its fake ‘wets’, has five years to carry out its project of the ‘Americanisation’ of British society – to savagely attack workers’ rights and social protection. Jeremy Corbyn should not resign and Corbynism must continue to lead the party – that is even more vital given the Tory onslaught which is coming.

That is the correct analysis the great majority of the British left has arrived at.

The strong chance of a victory for the Alberto Fernandez and Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner left ticket also raises the following question: will 2019 signal the start of a left wing counter-offensive in Latin America which sees the left pushing back against the US-sponsored right wing offensive that has put the ‘pink tide’ on the defensive for the past five years?
