We are like the good baseball players; we are covering all the bases. We have websites on Facebook, Twitter ( X Premium _), Groups IO, Mastodon, Blogger, WordPress ( Premium ), and Bluesky. We are publishing in several languages. Wake up and smell the coffee. All the pamphlets have been translated into three languages.
PS. You did not mention the Spanish websites; It looks like they did not count. They are working hard, too; they are not sitting in a rocking chair waiting for the working class revolt. They are fully loaded with articles and pamphlets published by the SPGB and the companion parties in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese
The president of Argentina is now a rock n roll star. Political theory has been thrown in the trash can.
The ex-president of Haiti, known as Sweet Micky, is also a rock star
The national sentiment existed in England and France, but the political theory of nationalism and the nation-state emerged later, as the nation-state is a new concept which emerged along with the development of capitalism. World Wars Warld 1-2 were not a product of nationalism; it was a sentiment used to move the working class to defend the so-called homeland, but both were based on socioeconomic interests
US President Donald Trump confirmed on Wednesday that he has authorized the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to carry out lethal, covert operations in Venezuela aimed at overthrowing the government of President Nicolás Maduro. The World Socialist Web Site denounces these criminal plans for the imperialist takeover of Venezuela.
When reporters questioned him at the White House about a New York Times report citing several US officials about the authorization, Trump did not equivocate in acknowledging the order. The admission is an extraordinary escalation of US imperialist aggression against Venezuela and beyond.
Anarcho-Capitalism: A Contradiction in Terms
I have been dealing with nationalists for several decades, and it is really difficult to deal with them; it is one of those things that prevents them from obtaining the proper concept of socialism/communism.
Now that capitalism has expanded around the globe and the concept of nation state is in danger of being eliminated, nationalists are coming back with more efforts and desperation to spread nationalism among the population; all types of nationalism have racist roots, and that is one of the main feature of populism, it is not only taking place within the ‘white population’, it is spreading around the whole world
The concept of nation state is not scientific, and it is only an illusion. Its history shows that it is mainly a characteristic of the capitalist society, but most people believe that it has always existed in human society, and most people are proud of their national origin and national superiority, without knowing that it is based on false conceptions
https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/apr/05/demise-of-the-nation-state-rana-dasgupta. The demise of the nation-state
This article, published by the Socialist Party, shows how nationalism was born in Germany after the capitalist development of Britain and France, and it became a racist concept.
It was spread around the world, including the African world. The so-called African nationalism has its roots in Germany, and it is also based on false conceptions, like any other type of nationalism and patriotism, and it is as racist as white nationalism.
I have had difficulty dealing with workers who believe that the Socialist Party of England, the WSPUS and the Socialist Party of Canada are nationalist and European institutions instead of looking at their worldly ( instead of internationalist) conceptions. Their nationalist view has prevented them from joining the World Socialist Movement and understanding its principles
I do not think it has anything to do with materialism, Engels and Kautsky; it is the influence of bourgeois ideology in their minds, and that influence is also strongly present with the leftwingers.
Social media can not replace face-to-face conversations, but social media is a good tool to spread socialist principles, and the socialist party has spent more time explaining what is not socialism due to the confusion created by Leninism, Bolshevism and nationalism
https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/1990s/1991/no-1043-july-1991/nationalism-a-dangerous-illusion/. Nationalism, a dangerous illusion, to “have a country or to belong to a nation” is absolutely meaningless. Feelings of loyalty to a nation-state are purely subjective, having no basis in reality.
Trump has authorised CIA operations in Venezuela; old news is not new news.
The CIA has been in Venezuela before the election of Hugo Chavez, the so-called Peace Prize Nobel winner, who was one of their agents, and she was part of the coup that overthrew Chavez the first time, and they were forced to put him back
The CIA has had more than 142 incursions/ invasions in Latin America. Guaido was also part of the CIA, and he was elected president of Venezuela by Donald Trump without being elected by the Venezuelan
They are looking for drug dealers, but the US government has been associated with several drug dealer leaders in South America, the Caribbean, and Central America
You are making the same allegations propagated by the pro-China and the Maoists, so what is the difference?
We have been in China, and we know what the life of the workers is like, and they are still living in backward conditions
You are accusing the SPGB of materialism, but you are falling into the trap of bourgeois reformism
Chinese capitalism is working for the capitalist class, but capitalism all over the world is a backward economic system; it has already fulfilled its mission, including China
A so-called ceasefire proudly announced by Donald Trump, who claims that he has resolved eight world conflicts, we might need a microscope to look for them, because he has not resolved any; on the contrary, he has created more conflicts, but Israel continues killing more Palestinians
As this newspaper wrote in another message:
In 98 AD, the historian Tacitus, describing the devastation of Britain by the troops of Imperial Rome, wrote: “They make a desert and call it peace.” Nearly 2,000 years later, these bitter words apply to the brutal terms imposed upon the Palestinian population of Gaza by Israel and its imperialist patrons.
I do not think you understood the TWC message.
You are just taking one part where TWC is saying yes, that capitalism will alleviate poverty, in your own reformist point of view.
TWC said no based on the logic of capitalism, which is the logic or the coherent point of view of the socialist party.
Chinese capitalism will continue benefiting the Chinese capitalist class, which it has been doing for several decades, and will continue exploiting the Chinese capitalist class. Wage slavery is poverty, too

Trump’s sham peace plan
October 14, 2025There will be no peace in Gaza. Only the temporary absence of war.
There is no shortage of failed peace plans in occupied Palestine, all of them incorporating detailed phases and timelines, going back to the presidency of Jimmy Carter. They end the same way. Israel gets what it wants initially — in the latest case the release of the remaining Israeli hostages — while it ignores and violates every other phase until it resumes its attacks on the Palestinian people
Another conflict that is developing between the USA and Venezuela
Martov debunked the idea that sovietism was a universal conception, and still, several of those left communist groups are supporting that conception, and the concept of the vanguard party to lead; they might reject some Leninist conceptions, but in essence, they are Leninists.
Of all of them, the Internationalist Perspective is one of the best within the left communist tendencies
The Leninists turned the vanguard party to lead into a universal conception, and Lenin himself said that it was only applicable to the Russian reality
It is a similar situation to CLR James, who rejected the vanguard party to lead, and Hegel, but he never rejected Leninism and Trotskyism.
The MLPUSA rejected Stalinism, Maoism, Trotskyism and Hoxhaism, but they did not reject Leninism.
The main intention of the publication of this article is to show the correctness of the SPGB’s stand
Russia Could Deploy Oreshnik Missiles to Cuba as Response to Tomahawk Transfers
08.10.2025 19:43Russia could place the long-range Oreshnik missile system in Cuba, a move Moscow might use to respond to any U.S. decision to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, suggested Colonel Viktor Baranets, a commentator for the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.
Put the Gun to the US — Again
Baranets argued that Russia repeatedly warned the United States and NATO not to move closer to its borders. Stationing Oreshnik systems on Cuban soil, he wrote, would let Moscow “again put a gun to the fatty backside of the USA.” He also proposed that Moscow could restore not only an electronic-intelligence centre on the island but also bases for ground, naval, and air forces.

Confucianism isn’t really concerned with metaphysics. The Confucian rites are similar to the definition of rites in ancient Rome: about performance and the cementing of social cohesion.
Metaphysics and idealism are interconnected. Modern Materialism was born in England and Germany, but it started in Greece, and in some way, it influenced the Romans. It is out of the main topic
