The Revolutionary Development of Global Marxism In this review of two books about the development of anti- and de-colonial Marxism, Paul Le Blanc recommends an account of the development of Marx's thought with regard to the class dynamics and revolutionary possibilities of global struggles. Developments in Marx's thinking may be usefully put into conversation with thinkers from the Global South if done so in an analytical way. - Reviews section / Marxism

Ecosocialism or barbarism “The danger of a great catastrophe … is imminent. All the newspapers have written about this time and again. Everybody says this. Everybody admits it.

It is trying to build something, in particular what could be called a form of civil resistance.” - IVP615 - April 2026 / Israel, Lebanon

Trump, Pope Leo, Jesus, and the Bible For the last two weeks, President Donald Trump and Pope Leo have been arguing about the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, and about Jesus and the Bible. Trump's words have been accompanied by A.I images he posted on social media, one of himself as Jesus. And now the rightwing evangelical Christians have put together a national program of Bible reading. American politics is at the moment awash in religion. - IVP615 - April 2026 / United States (USA)

Hungary 2026: An Autopsy of Sixteen Years of Illiberalism. The Hungarian legislative elections of 12 April 2026 brought to an end sixteen years of uninterrupted rule by Viktor Orbán. Péter Magyar's Tisza (Respect and Freedom [Tisztelet és Szabadság]) party won a super-majority of 138 seats out of 199, inflicting on Fidesz a defeat explained by judicial scandals, saturation of the identitarian discourse, a generational fracture, and the concrete effects of the freeze on European funds. - IVP615 - April 2026 / Hungary

Reza Pahlavi speaks of a “revolution”, but what kind? In Iran, the streets, morgues and cemeteries are now littered with corpses. Predictably, the Islamic Republic is carrying out summary executions of protesters with extreme brutality. It was a deliberate massacre aimed not only at stifling mobilizations, but also at deterring any dissent. - IVP615 - April 2026 / Iran

The Gender(ed) Politics of Fascism: How Women Came to Lead the Contemporary Far-Right During the last decade, far-right women leaders have played an essential role in contributing to the growing acceptance of fascism. Although the globally thriving far-right is anti-feminist and male-dominated, it is increasingly led by women. Marine Le Pen (National Rally), Riikka Purra (Finns Party), Alice Weidel (Alternative for Germany), Giorgia Meloni (Brothers of Italy), Pia Kjærsgaard (Danish People's Party), Siv Jensen (Progress Party), Beata Szydło (Law and Justice) are only a few of the latest examples of influential far-right women leaders. - Features / Women, Fascism

The Anti-Fascist and Anti-Imperialist Conference in Porto Alegre: Great achievements, challenges and opportunities “It is through all these events that the alliances necessary to counter fascism and imperialism are being forged. It is up to us to involve the trade unions, human rights organizations, feminist and LGBTQI+ movements, anti-racist organizations, those campaigning for Palestine, and those standing in solidarity with the Ukrainian and the Iranian people. It is in this way – and by defending our eco-socialist revolutionary perspectives – that we will build the movement needed to change the world.” - Features / Brazil, Latin America, Antifascism, Anti-imperialism

Antoine Larrache: Could you provide an overview of the European Union's economic situation in comparison to the global market? Éric Toussaint: The countries of the European Union, including the United Kingdom, are currently facing significant challenges. Firstly, economic growth is close to zero.

Trump's failure makes him more dangerous than ever Has Trump's downfall begun? Or are we, on the contrary, on the eve of his leap into total dictatorship? It is too early to predict the outcome. But one thing seems certain: by unleashing his war against Iran with Netanyahu, by underestimating the adversary, by spitting on his imperialist and other allies with contempt (the crown prince of Saudi Arabia “didn't think he'd be kissing my ass”), the would-be dictator has put himself in an extremely difficult situation, from which it is difficult to see how he can emerge without suffering a more or less humiliating defeat... Unless he “unleashes hell”, as he says... against the Iranian people he claimed to be liberating... and against popular mobilizations in the United States. - IVP615 - April 2026 / United States (USA)

Macron relaunches nuclear weapons By announcing an “advanced deterrence” and a strengthening of the nuclear arsenal, French president Emannuel Macron is reviving the logic of an arms race and turning his back on disarmament policies.

Trump's barbarous war on Iran, part of a long history of war crimes President Donald Trump's war on Iran is barbarous, cruel, vicious, undertaken and carried out without a bit of concern for the millions of human beings it is affecting in Iran, in the region, and throughout the world. The nature of the war was revealed on the first day, 28 February , when the United States hit a school in Minab and killed an estimated 175 people, 100 of them children. Attacks on civilians are a war crime, all too common a war crime in all modern wars. Now Trump is threatening an even greater war crime. - IVP615 - April 2026 / United States (USA), Iraq, Vietnam, Iran

Three general characteristics of the new era of fascism Fascism has been, over the last decade, and especially more recently, an object of vigorous debate on the left. But, as a long editorial from the Salvage collective bemoaned about debates over what to make of Russia's war on Ukraine, much of this debate has been stuck in the ditch of historical analogy. Is Trumpism more like Mussolini's or Hitler's fascism? When we stack up all the measures of rights violated and attacked, does the far right today pass the test of comparison with major fascist events of the 20th century? - IVP615 - April 2026 / Brazil
