Digital Imperialism and the Working Class: The Iran Strike and the Weaponisation of Data

The history of Western imperialism in the Middle East is written in blood. Yet, completely ignoring the lessons of the past, the world witnessed another horrific gamble on February 28. The massive waves of missile and bomb strikes launched by the United States, with active Israeli participation, against Iran are not just a military operation. They mark the beginning of a terrifying new chapter in the desperate attempt to keep a dying unipolar world order alive.

Every Strike Instills Fear in Capitalists and Their Political Servants

Millions of Indian workers went on a one-day General Strike on February 12, 2026 demanding among other things the scrapping of the four Labour Codes that were enacted by the BJP-led NDA regime at the Centre five years ago to enslave working people. It is a strike against anti-strike laws that was brought in by this ‘largest democracy’! It is a strike to defend the right to organise and to retain the right to form trade unions. It is strike against a state-sponsored modern slavery system that the Modi regime wants to inflict upon Indian workers.

Modi’s Foreign Policy: That of a Subordinate Ally

The Modi government’s stand on the US-Israel aggression on Iran has starkly exposed the heart of the foreign policy it has been pursuing for the past nearly 12 years. There is no semblance of an independent foreign policy or strategic autonomy left. Instead, what is in place is a foreign policy aligned to the strategic interests of the United States, in other words, the foreign policy of a subordinate ally.

Why Is Modi Govt. Kneeling Before US Bullying?

A series of events on the international stage has blown the Modi mythology of ‘India First’ and hyper-nationalistic rhetoric of the ruling BJP/RSS to smithereens. It has now become clear that the Modi government is bending over backwards to fulfil the demands of US on a whole range of policy issues, to the detriment of Indian people. The latest, and perhaps the most shameful, episode in this saga is the announcement by various Trump administration officials that India has been ‘allowed’ to buy Russian oil for 30 days.

Saffron Fallout: Judiciary Feels RSS Pinch

ON February 26, 2026, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Surya Kant launched a scathing reprimand over portions of a Class 8 social science textbook. “Deep-rooted conspiracy”, “very, very calculated move”, “reckless, irresponsible, motivated, contemptuous conduct and manner” were some of the phrases used by the CJI. “They fired the gun and the judiciary is bleeding today,” he said, and declared that “heads must roll.”

From Scattered Anger to Jan Akrosh

ON March 24, 2026, the Jan Akrosh Rally in Delhi will become the united roar of India’s workers, peasants, agricultural workers, women, youth, students and oppressed, led by CPI(M) cadres from the Hindi heartland and across the country. It will be a culmination of the state level Jathas that are being organised in the north Indian states from Jammu & Kashmir to Jharkhand, building a tide of resistance in every district, tehsil and basti.

Epstein Files: A Window to Rotting Capitalism

THE release of documents from the Epstein files has done more than expose the depravity of one man. The documents illuminate the dark truths of a new model of “bonding” between political power, corporates, financial institutions, the wealthy and the influential. Structural class-based bonding is hardly new, nor is treating criminality and impunity as entitlement. But the files show how deep the rot is — the elimination of even the semblance of morality as a reference point in systems devoted to private profit.
