Freedom of navigation: another pillar of the postwar world order is crumbling
Since Trump’s return to power, we have commented on the accelerating decline of US imperialism. The pillars of the postwar world order are rapidly crumbling – or even collapsing outright.
¿Qué era el "orden internacional basado en normas"?
El término «orden internacional basado en normas» está en boca de todos estos días. Los comentaristas liberales han acusado a Trump de no respetarlo, con sus amenazas de anexionar Groenlandia. [Publicado originalmente en marxist.ca] Mark Carney, en su famoso discurso en Davos, anunció el fin de este «orden mundial basado en normas». «Sabemos que el antiguo orden no va a volver. No debemos lamentarlo», afirmó.
What was the “rules-based international order”?
The term “rules-based international order” is on everyone’s lips these days. Liberal commentators have accused Trump of not respecting it, with his threats to annex Greenland. [Originally published at marxist.ca] Mark Carney, in his famous speech in Davos, announced the end of this “rules-based world order.” “We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it,” he said. On the left, some lament that international law is no longer respected and that the UN has been abandoned.
What is behind Trump’s threat to annex Canada?
The idea that the United States would annex Canada might initially seem to be beyond absurd. But there is most definitely a method behind Trump’s madness. [Originally published at marxist.ca] The newly elected president of the United States, Donald Trump, has repeatedly threatened to annex Canada over the past several weeks. While initially written off as a joke by Canadian officials, the thrust behind Trump’s threats has dire implications for Canadian capitalism.
Le CH au Centre Bell, " in English " comme si j’étais à Boston ou à Toronto
Dear Chantal Machabée, C’est à vous que j’écris ma lettre, car vous représentez le visage francophone hors glace du Canadien. Le 28 mars dernier, j’ai assisté à ma sixième partie du CH au Centre Bell cette saison. Cela fait deux ans que j’achète un forfait de six parties. Malheureusement, je ne répéterai pas l’expérience. Pourquoi ? Pas parce que j’ai l’impression d’être à Boston, à Philadelphie ou à Toronto tellement je n’entends que l’anglais partout dans les estrades et les corridors.
La guerra, la paz, y la moralidad burguesa
Para justificar su bombardeo genocida en la franja de Gaza, el estado israelí, junto a sus cómplices imperialistas de occidente, intentan presentarse como los guardianes de la superioridad moral frente a la “barbarie” de los palestinos. No hay mejor ejemplo de la bancarrota moral de la clase dominante.
War, peace, and bourgeois morality
To justify its genocidal bombardment of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli state, with the complicity of Western imperialists, tries to present itself as the guardian of superior moral values in the face of Palestinian “barbarism”. There could be no better example of the complete moral bankruptcy of the ruling class. [Originally published at marxist.ca] Following the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, the whole of bourgeois society and its representatives on TV sets and in parliaments cried out in outrage.
Canada: the standing ovation for a Nazi in parliament was not just a mistake
Canada’s Parliament has made the PR gaffe of the century by inviting a known Nazi collaborator into the House of Commons and giving him a standing ovation. While certainly an embarrassing blunder, this was more than a one-off mistake. The incident puts the full spotlight on the pattern of Canadian imperialism of whitewashing Ukrainian fascists; and on the complete stupidity of the ruling class, blinded by the war frenzy against Russia.

Apprendre à mourir avec le virus - Presse-toi à gauche !
La pandémie fait rage depuis maintenant deux ans, et la classe dirigeante a été incapable d’y mettre fin. Alors que nous avons à peine atteint le pic de la vague Omicron, qui a fait des ravages et poussé les systèmes de santé au bord de l’effondrement, les politiciens au service du capital sont déjà pressés de rouvrir les vannes du profit. Avec cette cinquième vague d’infections, toutefois, quelque chose semble avoir changé dans l’attitude de la classe dirigeante.
