The Red Menace Strikes Back: Vietnam, the DPRK, and the Collapse of Imperial Isolation

In May 2026, Vietnam's Foreign Minister met with North Korean officials, a significant yet underreported event that challenges the Western narrative of the DPRK as isolated and irrational. This meeting signifies the resurgence of socialist internationalism and the resilience of anti-imperialist relations against a U.S.-dominated order. Vietnam asserts its independence by maintaining ties with a historically aligned state despite pressures to conform to U.S. interests, illustrating a defiance of binary political expectations dictated by Western powers. As these two nations deepen cooperation, they expose cracks in imperial control, revealing that sovereignty endures in the face of sanctions and coercion.

Failure According to Whom?: Rewriting the Metrics of Socialism

The pervasive claim that socialism has "failed" is an ideological construct rather than a factual statement. A closer analysis reveals that socialist systems, from the Soviet Union to China, achieved measurable gains in education, health, and economic development under dire conditions. This narrative of failure is not supported by historical evidence but rather is a product of a century-long ideological war against socialism. Capitalism, meanwhile, perpetuates crises, inequality, and social fragmentation, failing to meet human needs. The real question is not why socialism fails, but how it has transformed societies when confronted with immense challenges, challenging the ruling narrative that defines success so narrowly.

The Prince Without a Crown: Gramsci’s Blueprint for Power in the Age of Managed Dissent

This review excavates “The Modern Prince” as Gramsci’s prison-forged answer to the West’s revolutionary stall: why fortified capitalism survives crisis through consent, institutions, and “common sense.” It reconstructs his core strategic arsenal—collective will, hegemony, war of position, and the party as the organized brain of the oppressed—against the fantasies of spontaneity and the dead-end of...

Empire’s Favorite Lie: Michael Parenti, Anti-Communism, and the Moral Alibi of Capital
