Everyday capitalism – the promises of 1990 have not been fulfilled
(red.) “The institutions of capitalism, the EU and the rest, are not there to help poorer countries and raise them to their level of development. Let’s work for them, buy their goods; that’s in their interest.” This is how Gyula Thürmer, chairman of the communist Hungarian Workers’ Party, expresses the experience Hungarians have had under the new system over the past three and a half decades. Above all, an intact healthcare system no longer exists, and the Hungarian village is culturally impoverished.
Fascism: Our Common Enemy
Russia’s actions in Ukraine have causes which necessitated its actions. Unbiased observers know what those causes are and why Russia’s special military operation was a necessary consequence.

Faint Hopes and Trump’s Phony Peace
by Christopher Black, 28 February 2025
Hopes and reality: On February 27 President Putin, in an address to FSB security officials, stated that the initial communication with the US administration “inspires certain hopes.” The world can understand what these hopes are, faint as they presently appear, the hope that the new American administration under Donald Trump has recognised its defeat in its war against Russia and, therefore, is ready to engage in negotiations to extricate itself from the disaster it has created in Ukraine.

Betting the Farm on the Imaginary War
by William Schryver
It has now been ten years since I first turned my attention to the necessity of prudent financial investments in order to both preserve and hopefully enlarge the modest amount of wealth I had accumulated up to that time. I began by attempting to identify the wisest and most discerning “experts” in the field. This was no easy trick.
BRICS Summit in Kazan significantly advances geopolitical transition towards multipolarity
It is still too early to assess the results of the BRICS Summit in Kazan. However, it already seems clear that this event will have significant impacts on global geopolitics – possibly changing global power structures in some way.

Are Western Democracies a Model for the World?
Part 1
Shining democracies face gloomy autocracies. This is the narrative of the Western mainstream, in the familiar vein of old Eurocentric arrogance. The author of this article has investigated the matter and found that in many countries of the global South, unique forms of democracy and participatory processes have emerged that differ from the sclerotic bourgeois systems of Western countries.

The Chiefs of MI6 And CIA Publish A Statement of Lies
On September 7, the British and American chiefs of their secret intelligence services, Richard Moore and William Burns, released an op-ed piece in the Financial Times, and on that day took part in a live talk hosted by the same journal. They had one common objective, to lie to their peoples and the world about the real causes of the violence and insecurity in the world, to provide them with the pretext for their attempt to rule the world. In other words, they openly displayed the conspiracy of their governments to commit aggression against anyone in the world who resists them, the supreme war crime.
