Capitalist "Democracy" Only Works for the Rich

In State and Revolution, Lenin said: "Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich—that is the democracy of capitalist society." Laura, Tom and Erika explain exactly how the wealthy dominate every sphere of our lives to control and limit working class participation in politics.

[Spectre of Communism] Israel invades Lebanon: fight war, fight imperialism!

This week we are republishing an episode from our international podcast: Spectre of Communism. If you haven't subscribed to their podcast, please do so here: https://podcast.marxist.com/subscribe-to-podcast/
The situation in the Middle East is escalating dramatically. Israel’s current invasion of Lebanon has sent shockwaves throughout the region and represents a further step towards the outbreak of a region-wide conflict, risking open war with Iran. As the Middle East grows more unstable, communists need a clear understanding of these events and what we can do to fight against militarism and imperialism wherever we are.
This week’s episode of Spectre of Communism Podcast welcomes Fred Weston, from the International Secretariat of the Revolutionary Communist International. Fred discusses recent events in Israel’s escalating military campaign, and explains the need for communists to fight for the real interests of workers and youth, which has nothing to do with the hypocritical warmongering of the ruling class internationally.
For further reading on Israel’s war on Lebanon, we recommend this article published on 1 October: https://www.marxist.com/israel-invasion-of-lebanon-starts-fight-war-fight-imperialism.htm
For more from Fred on recent events in the Middle East, we recommend his latest article on the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah: https://www.marxist.com/the-killing-of-nasrallah-netanyahu-is-provoking-iran-to-enter-war.htm

Is Trump a Fascist?

Without a correct diagnosis of Trumpism, it is impossible to understand where US society is headed. Throughout Trump’s rise, liberals have argued that fascism and dictatorship are on the horizon in the US. But is this the case? Laura Brown and Bryce Gordon give the Marxist appraisal of fascism and discuss what Trumpism really represents.
