Feb 18, 2026 - The Wounds of Underdevelopment

By Saeed Rahnema

Until the astonishing imperialist assault by the United States on Venezuela and the kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro and his wife, news related to Israel's recognition of Somaliland, Saudi Arabia's attack on southern Yemen, and the agreement between Ethiopia and Somaliland on the use of Red Sea ports were among the hot headlines on many global venues. The chaotic and miserable conditions of these three war-torn countries, and the poverty and displacement of these ancient nations, are the direct result of internal underdevelopment, colonial and imperialist interventions, and competition among major foreign powers. Moreover, for those sympathetic to the former Soviet Union, these three countries were once prominent examples of the "non-capitalist path of development" or a "socialist orientation."

Feb 14, 2026 - Rethinking the ‘Indian International Student Crisis’

By Sheetala Bhat and Samuel Nithiananthan

In downtown Toronto, whether it's the chime of an app alert or the hum of two wheels weaving through rush-hour traffic, the faces you see delivering food, stocking shelves, and filling low-wage shifts are disproportionately South Asian migrants. What official discourse calls an "international student crisis" is not primarily a crisis of numbers but a crisis of labour: a structurally produced, politically managed supply of cheap, precarious workers that Canada's universities, employers, and state have come to depend on. As federal policy has turned post-secondary education into a revenue engine, and work restrictions wax and wane with labour market needs, hundreds of thousands of international students have been funnelled into the gig economy, warehouses, kitchens, and service jobs that remain deeply undervalued, yet essential to the functioning of everyday life.

Feb 12, 2026 - Defend Greenland Against US Aggression

By Socialistisk Arbejderparti

The Donald Trump regime is still engaged in a fierce offensive for an imperialist US takeover of Greenland. All means have been used: political, economic, and even military threats. In this situation, the Greenlandic self-government, a united Inatsisartut, has quite understandably chosen to seek refuge in a tactical alliance with the former colonial power (Denmark), the EU, and the European NATO countries. At best, this alliance can stop Trump's plans to formally take over power in Greenland here and now. However, neither the powers that be in Denmark nor the EU are reliable champions of the Greenlandic people's right to self-determination - quite the contrary!

Milla Vodello is the pseudonym of an organizer with the Amazon Worker Solidarity (AWS) group in Toronto. Amazon Worker Solidarity is an independent grassroots organization of trade unionists, community activists, researchers, and workers at Amazon who recognize the fight against Amazon must be led by Amazon workers. It serves as a research and communications hub that disseminates analysis, research, and knowledge to support organizing happening on the ground at Amazon facilities in Ontario. Amazon is at the forefront of the current technological assault against workers, and since the mid-2010s, has been a core target for labour politics throughout Europe and North America.

Reaffirming the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, including the sovereign equality of states, the prohibition on the use of force, and the sacred right of all peoples to self-determination. Recognizing these as the principles that animated Simón Bolívar in his struggle for a free continent, Jose de San Martín in his vision of an independent and sovereign Americas, Benito Juarez in pursuit of lasting peace between its nations, and Jose Martí in his call to defend it from imperialist intervention.
