Berlin and the expropriation campaign against large corporate housing owners
Text by: Kai KoddenbrockGermany is a country of renters. So is Berlin, it’s capital. More than 50 % of the population don’t own the space they are living in. This means people depend on landlords. And this is a problem once housing has been turned into an asset class like all others, allowed to generate as much private profit as owners like.
China’s Ecological Civilization Initiative
Text by: Yan LiangChina officially adopted “ecological civilization” (EC hereafter) as a national strategy in 2007 at the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The concept's root can be traced to the 1980s when it was first used by Chinese academics.
Creative Sabotage
Text by: Lisa TilleyIn the 1950s, just after the anticolonial struggle had brought an end to centuries of Dutch colonialism, the plantation estates of Indonesia continued to cultivate commodity crops for the world market. Yet at the same time, across those estates a radical collective consciousness was also still growing among the green shoots.
Cuba’s socialist revolution
Text by: Helen YaffeSince 1959, Cuba has charted a unique path of socialist development—defying imperialism, prioritizing social welfare, and resisting capitalist pressures. Helen Yaffe traces how Cuba restructured its economy, built world-class healthcare and education systems, and pioneered ecological planning—all while under US blockade. Grounded in sovereignty and solidarity, Cuba’s model offers powerful lessons for the global South. What more could it achieve if allowed to thrive, not just survive?
Honduras Resiste - The war over 'investor protections' — and how the South can win it
Text by: David AdlerIn a bold stand against corporate colonialism, Honduras has become a global symbol of resistance. After 12 years of dictatorship and foreign control through ZEDEs, the country repealed the law and exited the World Bank’s ICSID tribunal. Now facing an $11 billion lawsuit from Próspera, a libertarian “startup city,” Honduras’s struggle raises a vital question: can the Global South reclaim its sovereignty from investor-state tribunals? Honduras Resiste explores how grassroots organizing and global solidarity are turning the tide.
Overcoming the “resource curse” and the foreign debt trap
Text by: Ndongo Samba SyllaCan a resource-rich African country escape the “resource curse” and foreign debt trap? Botswana proves it’s possible. By securing control over its diamond wealth, avoiding IMF loans, and maintaining low external debt, Botswana became a creditor nation—rare on the continent. While far from perfect, its path offers lessons on how financial sovereignty and strategic resource management can shield economies from external shocks and open space for future transformation in an increasingly multipolar world.
Public healthcare in Brazil
Text by: Bruno De ContiNot so long ago, the biggest economy in Latin America was involved in projects to launch satellites to the space, but it had no public healthcare system yet. A typical paradox of a country shaped by three centuries of colonial history and almost four centuries of slavery, forging a society market by absurd heterogeneities, and the dialectics of a modernization process embedded in strong conservatism and elitism.
Refugee Struggle for Freedom
Text by: Bafta SarboIn 2013, refugees in Germany launched a historic protest movement—connecting migration, racism, and labor exploitation. From hunger strikes to trade union occupations, they demanded freedom of movement and union membership. Their struggle revealed how German migration policy has long structured a racialized labor market. Refugee Struggle for Freedom traces how this movement challenged imperial borders and forged a radical class consciousness from the margins of legality.
The End of Occupation: How Haiti Defeated the United States
Text by: Peter James HudsonFrom 1915 to 1934, the Republic of Haiti was ruled by the United States. For nineteen years, the US Navy and Marine Corps occupied and controlled the world’s first free nation and first Black republic, ending more than a century of Haitian independence and sovereignty. This short essay will outline the reasoning behind and the nature of the US military occupation of Haiti. It will then discuss the efforts of the Haitian people, supported by Haiti’s international anti-imperialist allies, to defeat United States military rule and bring about the end of occupation.
