This article was originally published on 14 January, 2026. The situation between the USA and Greenland has developed very quickly, and so parts of this article may have been superseded by events. And yet, in analysing Trump’s reasons for wanting Greenland, and the hypocrisy of the Danish ruling class – who fear losing their colonial possession – this article remains useful in understanding the general processes that are now unfolding at pace.

In an extraordinary escalation of the repression against the international Palestine movement, journalist and founder of red. media Hüseyin Doğru has been made a non-person by the European Commission. The nature of the sanction levelled against Doğru really is extraordinary. In effect, with this action the European Commission has given itself the right to completely negate any individual’s democratic and human rights.

Donald Trump’s desire to seize control of Greenland and its resources has brought US imperialism into conflict with Europe. This puts Starmer in a quandary, as he and the British establishment attempt a delicate, unsustainable balancing act.

The bar fire in Crans-Montana is one of the greatest disasters in Swiss history. The entire political establishment is trying to portray the 40 deaths and 116 injuries as the result of a fateful coincidence. But the truth is that this disaster was entirely man-made. The cause lies in the short-sighted, reckless pursuit of profit that drives capitalism.

US President Donald Trump wants to take over Greenland. He argues that he will bring peace and give independence to the Greenlanders, but that is obviously a lie.

In January 2025, Italian writer Ezio Gavazzeni reopened a horrific cold case by filing a complaint with the Milan public prosecutor’s office. It concerned wealthy individuals who went to Bosnia during the siege of Sarajevo and paid large amounts of money to be allowed to shoot at innocent civilians. Just for ‘fun’.

On 13 and 14 December, 195 revolutionaries from all over Austria, with guests from Germany and London, gathered in Vienna for the ‘Communist Winter School’.

Trade union federations called a general strike in Portugal on Thursday 11 December against Prime Minister Luís Montenegro’s anti-worker labour law. The strike had a large following and represents an important turning point for the class struggle in Portugal. It has partially changed the mood in society and put class questions at the centre of public attention.

Over 100,000 people have filled the streets of the Bulgarian capital in mass youth-led demonstrations against the rotten, mafia-rule regime. Whilst the protests were initially triggered by the 2026 draft budget – which the government quickly withdrew on 2 December – the protests did not stop. Instead, they gained momentum and forced the government to resign just nine days later!

From 5 to 7 December, the ‘Karl Marx Seminar 2025’, the national education seminar of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RKP) – the German section of the Revolutionary Communist International (RCI) – took place in Berlin.

On 11 December, a nationwide general strike has been called in Portugal, that has the potential to paralyse the country. As Portuguese capitalism is wracked with crisis, the bosses are further intensifying the exploitation of the Portuguese working class. The general strike must go further than modest demands, it must mark the beginning of a campaign to bring down the regime itself, and the entire capitalist system!

From 22 to 23 November, our best congress to date took place in Wrocław. With over 50 participants, including guests from the Revolutionary Communist International (RCI), it was the largest, most inspiring, and most professional event we have ever organised.

It is 28 November, a Friday afternoon. The Revolutionary Communist Party’s (RKP) centre in Stockholm is awash with feverish activity. Stacks of boxes of books have been lined up in rows and are being systematically collected by members of the RKP’s Stockholm university branch using two trolleys. In other rooms, people are rehearsing their contributions to the weekend's discussions, someone is preparing an article – visitors from other cities in the country are looking around.

The following article was written just before Britain’s Autumn Budget. As predicted, it has satisfied no one and solved nothing. Since then, the Labour government has already retreated on one of its few meagre pro-worker provisions under pressure from big business.

Over the last two weeks, over 350 communists gathered in Switzerland for two ‘schools of communism’, organised by the Revolutionary Communist Party (German: RKP. French: PCR), Swiss section of the RCI.
