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...]
Trump, the fascist Caligula of bloodshed and civil war!
by Yorgos Mitralias Is Trump a fascist? Obviously, say half (49%) of Americans, many of his ex-collaborators, and the overwhelming majority of his opponents, experts in fascism, and the US and international media.

When Israel’s accomplices accustom us to a monstrous, heartless and inhuman world!
by Yorgos Mitralias, introducing and republishing an article by GIDEON LEVY Worse than Israel's crimes is the fact that the entire so-called “civilized” world follows and comments on them as if they were just a video game. When, of course, it's not celebrating them by arming the criminal. Or approving them by letting them go unpunished. And it has been doing so for decades. And live on our TV … [Read more...]
Big Brother is already at work! Urgent resistance before it’s too late…
by Yorgos Mitralias A highlight of the Olympic flame's peregrinations through France was its meeting with a “102-year-old former Resistance fighter”, which was celebrated by the country's media, who were quick to see it as an apotheosis of the flame's... humanist and pacifist virtues.

France: With the New Popular Front, against the deadly fascist threat!
By Yorgos Mitralias When, just after the announcement of the results of the European elections, French President Macron surprised everyone by deciding to dissolve the Parliament and to call general elections for June 30, it was obvious that he aspired to repeat, once again, the successful blackmail thanks to which he had won his two presidential elections: to find himself alone against Marine … [Read more...]

When the West nails the Israeli coffin of the Palestinian people!
by Yorgos Mitralias First the facts: UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) supports almost 4 million Palestinian refugees, running their schools and hospitals and providing them with drinking water and food. In Gaza alone, UNRWA employs 13,000 people. Israel accuses 12 of them of involvement in the Hamas attack of October 7. UNRWA … [Read more...]
The disastrous state of the Russian army, a faithful reflection of the perversions of the dying Putinism
by Yorgos Mitralias Why is Putin now "massively" bombing Ukrainian cities? Why is he sending his missiles against their infrastructures and populations? Why is he massacring civilians? Simply because he has already lost the war! Because his army can't break the resistance of the Ukrainians. Or rather, because his army is retreating, accumulating defeats, demoralized and in … [Read more...]
Towards the Brown International of the European and global far right?
By Yorgos Mitralias Not since the end of the last world war has the threat of a reinvigorated, aggressive and almost universally rising far right been felt as much as today. Why is this so?
