Environment highlights

Environment / The biggest threat to the environment is the imperialist war machine

While lecturing workers about ‘consumer choices’, western environmental lobbies give a free pass to the planet’s real polluters.

Environment / Ecology without class struggle is gardening!

Our planet can only be saved by scientific planning of human production and economic activity, taking into account all the consequences for nature.

Pollution / Demand renationalisation of the water system without compensation

Growing public outrage has forced a mealy-mouthed apology from Water UK, but the profiteers deserve jail sentences, not a wrist-slapping.

Venezuela / Venezuela: Blockade and plunder

How the imperialists use theft and sanctions to try to force regime change in countries that defy their diktat.

Jamaica / The human cost of bauxite-alumina mining in Jamaica

Another example of monopoly looting with no care for the consequences to people or environment.

Pollution / ULEZ: a green greed initiative

Not so much an environmental measure as a tax on driving and an effort to keep the car monopolies in profit.

USA / Message to US workers: Britain sending depleted uranium to Ukraine

The imperialists can seem incredibly powerful, but in fact their dominance is declining and their rule is showing signs of senility and decay.

China / Is China the target of the greatest propaganda campaign in human history?

How can we resist the rising tide of sinophobia when there is so little printed or spoken about China by western media and politicians that actually reflects reality?

Germany / Scholz visits Biden as USA works to bury the truth about Nord Stream

Will Washington test the anti-Putin coalition to destruction?

Germany / How America took out the Nord Stream pipeline

The New York Times called it a ‘mystery’, but the truth is that the United States executed a covert sea operation against its own allies.

Capitalist crisis / Capitalists are causing inflation, not workers!

It’s time for the hoary old myth about wages causing inflation to be put to bed. Higher wages lead to lower profits, hence the bosses’ opposition.

USA / The US ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ – blatant protectionism

US monopolies are hoping to survive the present crisis at the expense of their rivals, but alienating all their allies will ultimately only hasten their demise.

Capitalist crisis / Prepay meter scandal reveals workers being slowly crushed by energy debt

Workers who can’t afford crippling energy prices are being forced to pay even higher rates by the vulture providers.

Capitalist crisis / Happy new year?

There is no reform that could enable this profit-hungry system to serve the needs of the working people.

Qatar / Qatar at the crossroads?

Can US pressure force Qatar to sever its economic ties to Iran and Russia?

Climate change / What a Cop-out!

Even the most inveterate supporters of capitalism have been forced to admit that the UN’s climate mechanism has been taken over by the oil lobby.

Pollution / Britain’s dire water situation is no joke

Privatisation has stolen over £60bn from essential services, leaving the country to wallow in its own filth.

Brazil / Can Lula get Brazil back on track?

Much has changed since Lula’s first presidency. While the economic situation is far more difficult, international shifts could work in the country’s favour.

World / Imperialist aggression hastens demise of US hegemony and the rise of Brics

As history moves on, new alliances are being formed that are more in tune with the real balance of forces in the world.

China / Xi Jinping to CPC: The times are calling us, and the people expect us to deliver’

The last five years have indeed been ‘truly momentous and extraordinary’ ones in China’s history and development – and the next five look likely to be even more so.

Czech Republic / Czech communist leader on the mass movement against Nato’s war

Josef Skála explains what is driving the huge protest movement that has rocked his country to its foundations.

Environment / Environmentalists: time to look your gift horse in the mouth

The misguided actions of the environmentalist movement are annoying workers and harming the aims they espouse.

Germany / Germany is under pressure. Something’s got to give

As the economic crisis deepens and political panic spreads, the future of a unified European imperialist block is looking ever more shaky.

Energy / Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse: fracking is back on the agenda

Whichever way they turn, Truss and co are tying themselves in knots trying to escape the Gordian knot of the energy and inflation crises.

Germany / Pipeline terrorism: Who benefits?

Western media allegations denouncing Russia’s alleged act of (self) sabotage make no sense, either politically or economically.

Netherlands / The Dutch farmers’ militant struggle

How can the needs of the people to eat and their need to live in a clean and stable environment both be met?

Capitalist crisis / Families face energy bills topping £5,000 this autumn

Privatisation of the energy industry has put Britons at the mercy of world market prices – and no bourgeois party has a clue what to do about it.

Capitalist crisis / Cost of living crisis worsens as inflation and energy prices soar

Our rulers are keen to blame ‘the Russians’ for the intrinsic failings of the capitalist system itself.

Climate change / Demonising fossil fuels will not tackle the environmental crisis

Only nationalisation of the energy sector will allow us to make rational plans to safeguard both our energy supplies and our future.

Ukraine / The crisis in Ukraine is not about Ukraine. It’s about Germany

In whipping up a provocation against Russia in Ukraine, the USA’s primary objective was to stop the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

China / China investing massively to address climate change

China’s example shows the real way out of our climate disaster – but taken alone, even its great strides cannot be enough.

Economy / BP’s ‘cash machine’ goes into overdrive as workers’ energy bills soar

Britain’s energy monopolies are enjoying a profit bonanza as their rivals disappear and Ofgem fixes prices on their behalf.

Environment / Stop these sociopaths from poisoning our rivers!

We are reaping the whirlwind after decades of criminal neglect of Britain’s privatised water and sewage systems.

Economy / Energy crisis: more millions to prop up the privateers

Taxpayer cash will shore up monopoly profits while workers shiver this winter.

Climate change / Cop26: Fiddling while the world burns

Awash with fossil fuel lobbyists and corporate sponsors, the latest ‘climate conference’ was just another greenwashing exercise for monopoly capital.

Energy / Why is Britain importing coal from Australia and the USA?

Is it fear of militant miners that keeps our rulers from reopening deep mines in Britain while we still have a need for coal?

Economy / Gas prices go through the roof as global shortage ties supply lines in knots

Millions of families will again be forced to choose between heating and eating this winter.

Ecuador / Chevron’s disgraceful persecution of human rights lawyer Steven Donziger

Instead of paying billions in damages owed for horrific pollution of Ecuador’s rainforest, the oil giant is hounding and demonising its accusers.

An excellent example of socialists connecting with the community in order to advance their interests and raise their understanding.
