Daily revolutionary dispatches from the frontlines of global class war, settler empire, and technofascist recalibration.
Africa
Fortuna Mining Exits Burkina Faso for $130M
Another foreign mining firm flees West Africa, this time Fortuna Mining dumping its Burkinabé assets for a quick cashout. While investors cite “security risks,” the deeper story is this: the neocolonial plunderers are being squeezed out by growing national consciousness. As anti-imperialist currents rise, Western capital is pulling out before being shown the door. This isn’t market instability—it’s the slow, painful birth of African sovereignty over its land and resources.
Kenya Pivots to China, Drops France in €1.3B Highway Deal
Kenya’s decision to ditch a French infrastructure deal in favor of China signals a shift away from its former colonial patrons and towards multipolar realignment. The West calls it “debt-trap diplomacy,” but it’s really the Empire’s tantrum in response to losing control over Africa’s infrastructure. For Kenya, it’s a calculated pivot: who funds your roads also charts your future. Better a partner than a master.
Africa Doesn’t Need Aid – It Needs Control Over Its Critical Minerals
This is the fundamental truth imperialists can’t tolerate: Africa isn’t poor; it’s looted. The article tears into the charitable colonialism of Western “aid” and makes the obvious case—Africa needs control, not charity. The scramble for critical minerals today mirrors the colonial rubber and gold rushes of old, and unless African nations assert ownership, they will be reduced once again to extraction zones feeding AI empires abroad.
Asia
US Weapons to Taiwan Face ‘Weak Supply Chains’
The Pentagon’s war machine is sputtering. After flooding Ukraine with munitions, the U.S. now struggles to arm Taiwan, exposing the logistical limits of imperial overreach. Blaming “supply chains” is a polite way of saying: the empire is overextended, its war economy stretched thin. The fantasy of arming multiple proxy fronts against China and Russia simultaneously is unraveling in real time.
Xi Jinping to Tour Southeast Asia Amid Escalating Trade War
As Washington imposes tariffs and rattles sabers, Beijing responds not with bombs, but with diplomacy. Xi’s tour through Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia isn’t just about trade—it’s about consolidating multipolar alliances across the Global South. While the U.S. exports chaos, China exports roads, ports, and investment. The contrast is stark: coercion versus cooperation.
Vietnam’s Misplaced Faith in Tariff Man Trump 2.0
Some Vietnamese business elites still believe Trump’s anti-China obsession will benefit their export sectors. But hitching your economy to a burning empire is bad policy. As the U.S. doubles down on protectionism and decoupling, Vietnam risks becoming collateral damage in a tariff-fueled trade war designed to contain China but destabilizing the region in the process.
Middle East
Over 500 Gaza Children Killed Since Israel Broke Truce
Genocide has become routine. The Zionist settler-colony continues its extermination campaign in Gaza with U.S. weapons and EU silence. Over 500 children murdered since the truce was shattered—each one a life lost to colonial terrorism. This isn’t a “war”—it’s a massacre, systematically executed under the cover of Western propaganda and justified by the technofascist logic of “security.”
Turkey Accuses Israel of Destabilizing Syria
Ankara calls out Tel Aviv for weaponizing sectarianism and undermining Syria’s fragile post-war landscape. Israel’s endless provocations in the Levant—from drone strikes to proxy militias—reveal the settler state’s regional strategy: perpetual instability. It’s not just Palestine—Zionism targets any sovereign project that resists its expansionist blueprint, and Syria is next in line.
Israel Seizes Iranian Drone Over Jordan
Israeli headlines celebrating the downing of an Iranian drone over Jordan are a distraction from the core contradiction: Zionist aggression and regional destabilization. The drone wasn’t the threat—the Israeli war machine is. Tel Aviv manufactures threats to justify escalation and deflect from its genocidal crimes in Gaza and its role in sabotaging multipolar stability across West Asia.
Latin America & the Caribbean
Venezuela Blames Terrorist Attack for Power Grid Collapse
Caracas is once again under siege—not by bombs, but by sabotage. The attack on Venezuela’s national grid isn’t random—it’s the continuation of hybrid warfare waged by imperialism to destabilize the Bolivarian project. These tactics aim to punish defiance, manufacture crisis, and undermine socialist governance from the inside out.
Ecuador Faces Runoff in High-Stakes Presidential Election
Ecuador stands at a crossroads. The runoff pits neoliberal technocracy against popular sovereignty. After years of IMF strangulation and U.S. meddling, the electorate is mobilizing. The stakes are high: will Ecuador break from the imperial playbook, or slide deeper into neocolonial servitude disguised as “market reform”?
Argentina Eases Currency Controls Ahead of IMF Deal
Buenos Aires bends the knee to the IMF once again, lifting currency controls in a move that will benefit investors and bleed workers. Under the guise of “reform,” the technocrats are handing Argentina back to the global creditors. This isn’t economic recovery—it’s debt colonialism in real time.
Europe
Ukraine to Extend Martial Law as War Drags On
The Kiev regime prolongs martial law while pretending it governs a democracy. Backed by NATO weapons and Wall Street cash, this proxy regime sacrifices its own population to fight a war it cannot win. Ukraine has become a battlefield laboratory for imperialism—where freedom is suspended and fascism is rebranded as “resistance.”
Prada to Acquire Versace in $1.4B Consolidation Deal
The consolidation of Versace under the Prada banner represents more than a luxury market merger—it’s the further monopolization of global culture under capitalist aesthetics. With Capri Holdings unloading its crown jewel for $1.4 billion, this deal underscores the tendency of capital to concentrate and centralize, even in fashion. Luxury empires like Prada are not just selling handbags—they’re selling imperial prestige, Eurocentric beauty standards, and class stratification. Beneath the silk and gold lies a brutal economy of hyper-exploitation: sweatshop labor, neocolonial material sourcing, and the cultivation of elite exclusivity in a collapsing world. This isn’t just haute couture—it’s haute capital.
NATO Presses Allies to Send More Ammunition to Ukraine
NATO wants more bullets, more bombs, more blood. With Ukraine’s manpower depleted and its counteroffensive floundering, the West calls for more military aid to prolong a war it started and refuses to end. This is imperialist vampirism—draining Europe’s coffers and Ukraine’s people for a failed strategy to dismember Russia.
United States
Here’s How Much a “Made-in-USA” iPhone Would Cost
Turns out, “Made in America” comes with a price tag the working class can’t afford. This article inadvertently exposes the lie of patriotic capitalism—when you strip away the exploited Chinese labor, slave-like supply chains, and imperial control of minerals, your iPhone suddenly costs $2,000. The U.S. economy doesn’t make—it extracts and markets. That’s how the empire stays alive.
US Tourism in Freefall as Global Visitors Avoid the Empire
Nobody wants to vacation in a police state. The collapse of U.S. tourism reflects more than economics—it’s a crisis of legitimacy. As the empire spirals into political chaos, racialized violence, and fascistic policing, even its allies are staying away. The myth of “American freedom” is dead. The global perception of the U.S. is catching up to its material reality.
US Bond Market Jolted by Trump Tariffs
Wall Street got a rude awakening as Trump’s tariff blitz sent bond yields soaring. The casino economy built on cheap debt is starting to wobble. Trump’s economic nationalism isn’t a challenge to the system—it’s a desperate recalibration of it. But the contradictions are catching up: imperial overextension abroad, stagflation at home, and finance capital panicking. The beast is wounded—and it’s lashing out.
