The Times of India packages Saudi money, Turkish military power and Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal into the spectacle of an emerging “Islamic NATO,” while burying the war and contradictions that made the agreement intelligible. Beneath the headline lies an older architecture of military cooperation, energy dependence and regional hedging accelerated by a U.S.-Israeli war that devastated... Continue Reading →
The Market Was Born with a Gun: Colonial Plunder, Neoliberal Rule, and the Worker-Peasant Road Beyond Capital
Utsa and Prabhat Patnaik’s groundbreaking analysis dismantles the myth that capitalism flourished independently within Europe, revealing a system intricately linked to colonial exploitation. They illustrate how colonialism not only financed European industrial growth but also perpetuated poverty and dependency in colonized nations. The authors articulate that capitalism's survival hinged on subjugating external economies. With the unraveling of colonial structures leading to depression and famine, they propose a radical rethinking of revolutionary potential through a worker-peasant alliance, emphasizing organized power as essential to dismantling capital's dominance. Ultimately, their work challenges the notion of capitalism's self-sufficiency, exposing its reliance on imperial mechanisms for survival.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Shareholder: The Empire Goes on the Auction Block
What if the façade of Asian firms acquiring American assets is merely a veneer masking a broader crisis of imperial power? The Asia Times' portrayal presents a triumphant narrative of capital flows, yet ignores the brutal realities behind ownership transitions. As firms like Sun Pharma and Mitsubishi grasp at American infrastructure, the underlying forces of deindustrialization, labor exploitation, and geopolitical tensions are left unexamined. This isn't progress—it's a manipulation of perception. The real question remains: who controls these vital resources? Without a radical reimagining of ownership, the future remains shackled to elite interests, while workers are forced to celebrate their own dispossession.
Workers of the New World: BRICS+, Platform Capital, and the Class Struggle Inside Multipolarity
The Atlantic neoliberal order is disintegrating, revealing the ravages inflicted on workers and the environment by a relentless pursuit of profit. As BRICS+ nations seek to reclaim industrial sovereignty and labor rights, they face a chaotic multipolar reality where exploitation continues under different guises. Amid profound instability, the laboring class must transition from mere instruments of production to conscious political actors capable of reshaping development. This moment offers a critical opportunity: to reclaim the narrative and construct a world centered on human dignity and ecological balance. The question now is whether history will be rewritten by workers or remain dominated by elites.
Fault Lines of Empire: U.S. Strategy, Pakistani Class Power, and the Crisis of Sovereignty

Imperialist recalibration collides with multipolar transition, exposing the struggle between sovereignty and neocolonial extraction. Workers, peasants,... Continue Reading →
The World System Before European Hegemony: How the West Hijacked a System It Did Not Build
Janet Abu-Lughod's "Before European Hegemony" ruthlessly dismantles the myth that Europe rose to global prominence due to inherent superiority or brilliance. Instead, it reveals a pre-existing world economy crafted by diverse, thriving civilizations from which Europe, late to the game, benefited through exploitation and rupture. By tracing this narrative, Abu-Lughod forces us to confront uncomfortable truths: Europe did not create history; it emerged through the erosion of powerful systems created by others. History wasn’t predestined; it was violently reshaped.
The Architects of Empire: How the Anglo-American Establishment Built the Modern World Order
From Cecil Rhodes’ imperial secret society to the trilateral system that governs global capitalism today, the modern world order did not emerge by accident. It was constructed—patiently, institutionally, and across generations—by networks of bankers, strategists, policymakers, and imperial planners determined to organize power on a planetary scale.

Dope, Dollars, and Domination: A People’s History of Narco-Imperialism and the Making of the American Empire

From opium clippers to CIA proxy armies, from Panama’s offshore laundromat to Colombia’s paramilitaries and Mexico’s neoliberal narco-state, narcotics have long served as the financial engine, covert budget, social-control mechanism, and geopolitical scaffolding of the American Pole. By Prince Kapone |... Continue Reading →
Multipolarity Inaugurated: From SCO to Victory Day

The Global South builds, empire sabotages, and the crack in the order widens. Grammar, backbone, ritual, and governance converge into a new architecture. The task now is to make it irreversible through... Continue Reading →
