Famine as a weapon of genocide
by Yorgos Mitralias The images of the children of Gaza, which most Western media refuse to show, leave no doubt: they are reminiscent of those of the Nazi extermination camps filmed by filmmakers such as John Ford, Samuel Fuller or George Stevens just after their liberation by the American army: living skeletons, skin glued to bones, eyes sunken into sockets, eyes misty!

Internationalism in action as an antidote to the nationalist poison of resurgent fascism!

React before it’s too late
Against the Brown International of Putin-Trump-Musk-Netanyahu! by Yorgos Mitralias United but desperately alone! United in their slaughter, their bloodshed and their loneliness.

Together with Musk, Vance and MileiTrump the “peacemaker” like Hitler the “chancellor of peace”!
by Yorgos Mitralias Friedenskanzler, i.e. Chancellor of Peace. If we tell you that's what Hitler was called before he started the Second World War, you won't believe your ears.

Auschwitz, the bankruptcy of the idea of progress and the rehabilitation of the utopian dimension of socialism
By Yorgos Mitralias Why republish a text on Auschwitz and its meaning, written in Greek in the last century? Because, reread today, at a time profoundly marked not only by the genocide of the Palestinians and the destruction of Gaza, but also by the return in force of the fascist threat - and war - on a global scale, embodied by the Trump-Musk duo, this text takes on a heightened significance … [Read more...]

Trump and the European right: an attraction-repulsion relationship that does not bode well…
by Yorgos Mitralias What to think of Trump's return to the White House? For the European bourgeoisies and their parties, the answer should be and has been positive and even enthusiastic. But why? Because of Trump's very clearly expressed intention to implement reactionary, anti-union, anti-worker, anti-social and pro-capitalist policies that the European right-wingers would like to … [Read more...]
