The Midwest and the League

Black Agenda Report
The IMF and World Bank are not subjects the press covers, but the lens through which it covers everything. Short overview: Each installment features a literacy guide on a particular issue, institution, or journalistic strategy to help readers understand the ways that liberal media outlets frame the news.
People's Power, No Dictator
“The Burnham dictatorship crept up upon Guyanese people like a thief in the night.” One could be excused for thinking that Walter Rodney’s essay, “People’s Power, No Dictator,” was published today, not in 1979, and that its focus was the contemporary United States, not Guyana.
Black Agenda Report
Siege, survival, and the dialectics of Venezuelan sovereignty. Originally published in Kimberly D. Miller. Less than a year after the deadly January 3 U.S. military attack on Venezuela that abducted President NicolĂĄs Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores, Venezuelan sovereignty is being spoken of in the past tense. What was once held up as one of the hemisphereâs most consequential experiments in anti-imperialism is increasingly described as a memory.

Young Moroccan workers walk toward the border under Spanish military escort in Ceuta on August 1. (Source: Struggle La Lucha.) "Israel and Washington use Ceuta and Melilla to attack Spain for naming the genocide in Gaza. The enclaves are colonial relics.

Black Agenda Report
The engraved revolvers Erdogan handed out in Ankara showed that NATO has stopped pretending to be a defensive alliance and embraced its new role as the West's premier weapons trade fair. “One year ago in The Hague, Allies committed to invest a lot more in defence – 5% of GDP by 2035. We’re already making remarkable progress. And they agreed to ramp up defence production and innovation. And here we are now, one year later in Ankara, already delivering results.
Black Agenda Report
Faced with the blockade of vital oil routes, the extreme dependence of modern agriculture on fossil fuels foreshadows not only high prices but also a food shortage capable of generating global social upheaval. Originally published in Portuguese in A Terra é Redonda. This article is a warning. A global food crisis is likely approaching — driven by the collapse of supply chains feeding the agri-food system, a consequence of the war against Iran and the resulting blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Black Agenda Report
The refusal of European nations to condemn the war on Iran proves that the U.S.-EU-NATO axis remains intact, and the commitment to militarism represents an existential threat to the entire Global South. Margaret Kimberley: This is Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report Executive Editor. I'm joined by Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report contributing editor.
Black Agenda Report
FIFA allowed a nation that commits genocide and runs detention gulags to host the World Cup, and the Anti-Fascist Football Coalition says staying in the tournament is no longer an option. Originally published in Black Alliance for Peace.
Black Agenda Report
Haiti qualified for the World Cup on the anniversary of its revolution, the DRC brought the spirit of Lumumba to the pitch, and Iran wore pins for children killed by U.S. bombs, proving that football cannot be separated from politics. Football/soccer is a world sport of the poor and the working class, although at its highest levels, it is, like all sports, controlled by the ruling classes. It is played in the alleys of Sao Paulo and the dirt fields in Accra.
Sovereignty And Strategic Depth
Above photo: Kevin Wolf. The U.S. and Israel treat negotiations as a weapon to destabilize and disarm the region. But Iran and Hezbollah have shown that real sovereignty requires connecting every front in a unified anti-colonial struggle. The Iranian-U.S. memorandum of understanding (MoU) and the U.S. brokered ‘framework’ between the Zionist colony and Lebanon are following a predictable path for those who live in the West Asian region, or study it extensively with a pro-resistance lens.
Black Agenda Report
The war on Iran was never about nuclear weapons but about Iranian sovereignty, which has inspired African nations and African-Americans alike to imagine a world beyond U.S. domination. And that is why Washington cannot tolerate it. On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched a war on Iran, which had been in the making for decades.

Black Agenda Report

Originally published in Al-Akhbar. Georges Ibrahim Abdallah is a communist, anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, and internationalist militant born in Lebanon in 1951. To this day, Georges remains a fidai, a freedom fighter, a "sin" of unwavering resistance that the capitalist world-system has never forgiven.
Black Agenda Report
Reuters sells custodial plunder as a pricing issue, turning blockade into “market caution.” We restore the missing record: seizures, supervision, and the re-routing of Venezuelan oil revenue through imperial hands. We reframe the contradiction as doctrine—Fortress America tightening hemispheric command as multipolar escape routes multiply. We close with a call to organize: break the information blockade, target the choke points, and build material solidarity with the besieged.
Black Agenda Report

Black Agenda Report
U.S. sanctions, violence, threats, and theft are war crimes waged against Venezuela for decades. A scandal about a “double tap” killing should not be the focus of attention. The first United States SEAL Team 6 air strike on a boat allegedly engaged in Venezuelan drug trafficking took place on September 2, 2025. All 11 people on board were killed. The Trump administration gleefully released video of the attack and exulted in its deadly success.

Black Agenda Report
For the last month or so, investors, business gurus, and veritable Wolves of Wall Street have been discussing the massive‚Äďand growing‚ÄďAI financial bubble. Speculative bubbles are nothing new in the American economy. The other imperialist countries in Europe are slightly insulated from this financialization, although not entirely.
Black Agenda Report
Led by Amilcar Cabral, Guinea-Bissau was in the forefront of African anti-colonial movements. But independence for that nation in 1973 has been followed by continual struggle for true sovereignty and freedom from foreign intervention. Currently, opposition candidates are barred from contesting the November election in Guinea-Bissau as the “neocolonial agent”, Umaro Embalo, maneuvers to consolidate his ECOWAS-backed regime. Originally published in People's Dispatch.
Black Agenda Report

El internacionalismo obrero y Palestina
Con la noticia de la huelga general del 22 de septiembre en Italia, se abre un nuevo capítulo en el movimiento por Palestina dentro del movimiento obrero organizado. Una forma más ilustrativa de verlo no sería como un nuevo capítulo, sino como un resurgimiento del movimiento obrero tras el coma neoliberal en el que se encontraba desde finales de la década de 1970.
Labor Internationalism and Palestine
With the news of the September 22nd general strike in Italy, a new chapter has been opened in the movement for Palestine within organized labor. Although, a more instructive way to view this would be not as a new chapter, but a re-awakening of the labor movement after the neoliberal coma in which it found itself since the late 1970s.
Black Agenda Report
Missing the enemy, or why Western leftists fail again. On Sunday, August 17, 2025, the first round of presidential elections in the Plurinational State of Bolivia were held in the small Andean nation of 12 million people.

Black Agenda Report
Malcolm X didn’t just fight for Black liberation—he waged war on empire itself. As U.S. militarism tightens its grip on Africa and beyond, his revolutionary internationalism burns brighter than ever, exposing the ‘house Negroes’ who betray our struggle for a decolonized future. White supremacist, patriarchal capitalist settler colonial imperialism dehumanizes the world. This dehumanization has met fierce constant resistance over time.
El espíritu de Bandung: 70 años después
Hace 70 años, en Bandung, Indonesia, se celebró una gran reunión de líderes del tercer mundo con el objetivo de definir el proceso de descolonización y liberación nacional. La conferencia, presidida por Josip Broz Tito, Jawaharlal Nehru, Ahmed Sukarno y Gamal Abdel Nasser, no fue fruto de su liderazgo ni de sus cualidades excepcionales. Según Samir Amin, fue fruto de una crítica radical de izquierda, que en aquel entonces se desarrollaba en el seno de los partidos comunistas.
The spirit of Bandung: 70 years on
70 years ago, in Bandung, Indonesia, a large gathering of third-world leaders took place with the aim of shaping the process of decolonization and national liberation. The conference was led by Josip Broz Tito, Jawaharlal Nehru, Ahmed Sukarno, and Gamal Abdel Nasser, but it was not a product of their leadership or exceptional qualities. According to Samir Amin, it was the product of a radical leftwing critique, which was at the time conducted within the communist parties.

Given the importance of autonomous African and Diasporic pan-African relations as an indispensable tool for responding to the challenges of an increasingly volatile global economy, it is compelling that Pan-Africanists fan any sparks that may appear in the fading embers of African-diasporic relations.
LETTER: Thank you, Mr. Howe, Ama Ata Aidoo, 1967 | Black Agenda Report
Ama Ata Aidoo's lands a knock-out blow to white neocolonial anti-African revisionism. If it is true, as Frantz Fanon told us, that one strategy of colonialism was to degrade, dismiss, and destroy the history and culture of the colonized, it is also true that neocolonialism operates in a similar fashion on the history and culture of anti-colonial struggle.
Black Agenda Report

Plundering Africa – Income Deflation and Unequal Ecological Exchange Under Structural Adjustment Programmes | Black Agenda Report
Presenting new research, Dylan Sullivan and Jason Hickel mount a devastating critique of the impact of structural adjustment in Africa in the 1980s and 1990s.
