In Australia? Join the September 11-13 Ecosocialism 2026 gathering!

September 8, 2026

If you're in Australia, make sure to go see Ian Angus at Ecosocialism 2026, representing the journal Climate and Capitalism, and offering his book in person! Capitalist imperialism is promoting the far right everywhere, enforcing neoliberal policies, and imposing military aggression and recolonisation on weaker nations. It has no answers to the climate crisis and no solutions for housing and cost of living. The Ecosocialism 2026: Resistance, decolonisation, liberation conference will bring together activists from across the Asia-Pacific and beyond to share experiences in how we can resist Capitalism's depravity and build the mass movements we need for system change. Featuring: Sabrina Fernandes; Ian Angus; Ayesha Ahmad; Remah Naji; and more....
Gabriel Rockhill’s “Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism?”

Gabriel Rockhill’s “Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism?”

August 31, 2026

The latest: Rockhill does not claim, as he was immediately accused of doing, that “Western Marxism” was an “invention” of the CIA. But he reconstructs how the integration of this theoretical output into the “intellectual world war” against socialism was organized and conceptually thought through. He shows how far this integration went in specific cases and why it was logically consistent in terms of content. It was precisely because the “Western Marxists” tended “to support imperialism, or at least to make it acceptable.” It is to Rockhill’s credit that, drawing on the framework of a Marxist history of ideas, a discipline that has largely died out in the German-speaking world, he undertook the attempt to develop a comprehensive conception of this “world war.”
John Bellamy Foster’s “Breaking the Bonds of Fate”

John Bellamy Foster’s “Breaking the Bonds of Fate”

August 12, 2026

The latest: The title of John Bellamy Foster’s latest book "derives from Lucretius’s famed De Rerum Natura, usually translated as On the Nature of Things. Lucretius wrote: “Again, if all movement is always interconnected, the new arising from the old in a determinate order – if the atoms never swerve so as to originate some new movement that will break the bonds of fate, the everlasting sequence of cause and effect – what is the source of the free [will] … .” ([On the Nature of Things,] Book II, 251ff) This exact quotation, moreover, was one made by Karl Marx in his Epicurean Notebooks, compiled in preparation for his doctoral thesis: “The Difference Between the Democritean and Epicurean Philosophy of Nature” of 1841. From this point of departure, Foster initiates the reappraisal of two thousand years of philosophical controversy...."

In the public eye: Contributors to “A Land With A People”

March 30, 2026

The latest from Mohammed Mhawish: "We have to ask ourselves: Do we know Hind? Of course we’ve heard her voice, or maybe have seen the building someone renamed after her at Columbia in her honor — which matters, and which she would have deserved, and which is still not the same as knowing her. But do we know her laughter, the way she moved through a room, what she was afraid of, what she loved, the world she was building inside herself at six years old? We learn none of it from the film. We learn it, if we learn it at all, from the interviews her mother gave on the side, on other people’s platforms. The film that claims her voice does not make space for her life."
