The notion that Trump’s “America First” represents a groundbreaking departure from previous imperialist policies overlooks the fact that domestic and foreign policy in capitalism are intrinsically connected.

The U.S. invasion of Venezuela is not about “freedom” or “democracy” for Venezuelans. This is about oil, empire, and distraction. It is an act of war and terrorism that violates international law and the national sovereignty of an independent country.

Another declassified CIA document, vindicating anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninists. @redphoenix.bsky.social @socialismforall.bsky.social

www.cia.gov/readingroom/...
West European Communist hardliners, such as the PCI's Armando Cossutta, have publicly attacked the obsession with elections as the Eurocommunists' Achilles' heel. We find persuasive their argument support Eurocommunists fight on terrain chosen by the enemy, demoralizing the rank and file by forgetting their differences with other parties. We believe that the French and Spanish Communist leaders who have readopted hardline positions in the wake of electoral defeat agree with this analysis. Losing Members Eurocommunist parties, because they mobilized support using traditional democratic means, depended on mass membership drives to underpin their political strategies. They renounced Lenin's preference for small revolutionary parties in favor of large organiza-tions capable of broad public appeal. Thus, we believe, declining party membership-an expressed concern of party leaders is a major indicator of decline. Instead, Communist politicians were frequently drawn into the sort of standard political maneuvering that had long inspired voter cynicism in countries such as France and Italy. As a result, Eurocommunist participation in democratic institutions tended to blur the distinction between Communist and non-Commu-nist political tactics. PCI leaders, who came to share power in many important Italian cities including Rome-proved as unable as other politicians to solve the chronic ineffi-ciencies and inequities of Italian urban life. Their followers expressed to pollsters and journalists disap-pointment that Communist officeholders seemed sat-isfied to conduct "politics as usual." Outlook Eurocommunism's central premise that Communist parties can improve their political position by playing the democratic game clearly has proven inadequate as a political strategy. It has not brought power, or an increased popular vote, or a more secure place in the political mainstream to the parties espousing it. It has provided no guidance for coping with the demograph-ic trends that are reducing traditional Communist constituencies, with the new political currents that are attracting young leftists, or with Socialist rivals who started with definite advantages in the traditional political arena and used them well. Moreover, for most Eurocommunist parties, Euro-communism was a concept they arrived at late, and the element of hypocrisy was all too apparent. The main exception in this regard is the PCI, the most successful of the West European parties and the one with the deepest roots in Eurocommunism.

US imperialism has launched its plan to redesign the Middle East with the genocidal attack by Israeli forces on Gaza. It has implemented regime change in Syria and targeted Iran, whose influence in the region has been limited by the weakening of its allies.
