Letters from Afar: An Interview with Anakbayan

Posted on May 30, 2021January 3, 2022 by CYM Committee

“Anakbayan (Children of the People) is the comprehensive national-democratic mass organisation of the Filipino youth, organising from all different sectors of the youth, from the communities, students, workers, women, LGBTQ+, national minorities and all other concentrations of youth in the Philippines. It is one of the most steadfast organisations in waging forward the national democratic struggle of the Filipino people against US imperialism and domestic feudalism… Its role in the national-democratic struggle is an important one because without a comprehensive youth organisation, the struggle would die out as there would be no new blood there to carry out its tasks towards its victory.”

The Palestinian Cause is a Cause for Every Revolutionary

Posted on May 28, 2021January 3, 2022 by CYM Committee

Rather than being something unique and otherwordly, something beyond our comprehension due to its age and complexity, the Palestinian struggle is not exceptional. It is one of a broad tapestry of anti-imperialist and anti-colonial struggles. By insisting on their exceptional nature, they are condemned to a suspended animation: endlessly admired and supported for their resistance, but lacking the ability to draw on the successful struggles of others to inform their own. They are however, not alone, but are supported by a pantheon of peoples that understand their struggle and show solidarity out of experience.

Posted on April 23, 2021January 3, 2022 by CYM Committee

“It is hard to watch things back home and see how they should be done, and how they could be done. Its not rocket science. The people and the party go hand in hand, and people do see the benefit of doing these things and that’s why they’re happy to do it”

Denial and Deflection is America’s Defence

Posted on April 8, 2021July 19, 2021 by CYM Committee

Pundits have for years blamed the surge of the American the far-right on Donald Trump, and deflected criticism of the US. The reality is that groups like the Proudboys or QAnon conspiracists are symptoms of a fractured society in a faltering empire.

“The working class can see the blood and sweat they and their children shed”: Interview With a Balkan Communist

Posted on March 1, 2021January 3, 2022 by CYM Committee

Thirty years after the start of the Yugoslav Wars, Balkan communists declare: “The working class is not stupid. It is not a thing to be thrown around… The working class can see the blood and sweat they and their children shed…. More and more working class people are becoming consciously revolutionary.”

The Abraham Accords: Imperialist Deception

Posted on February 19, 2021July 19, 2021 by CYM Committee

The Abraham Agreement is a false idol, it has betrayed the Palestinian people who are fighting the diabolical systemic destruction of their nationhood and its words are hypocritical. It is written with the same hands that are drenched in the blood of Palestinians who have been slaughtered in imperial conquest. The agreement only serves to consolidate the imperialist economies in the region and to provide a more advantageous position for further colonisation.

Ireland Stands with Minneapolis #BlackLivesMatter

Posted on May 30, 2020July 19, 2021 by CYM Committee

This is a tragedy, but it is no accident. It is part of the law enforcement and justice system in the United States, which dates back to slavery. It has maintained this system, and ethnic minorities are imprisoned and murdered in wild disproportion to population amounts.

Self proclaimed socialists such as Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Corbyn have seen moderate success in electoral politics which has opened up a space for socialists to introduce their ideas to a much larger audience.
