Debunking The Myth: Communism Killed 100 Million People

December 14, 2025 Esha, Historic.ly. Educate! Communism, History, Nazism, Propaganda

The fundamental flaw in the “100 million deaths” narrative: it treats political ideology as a kind of metaphysical cause of death. Policies are lifted out of context, conditions are ignored, and complex histories are reduced to an inflated scoreboard where people prosecuted for crimes that would be illegal anywhere are reframed as victims of communist persecution. In that same 1997 edition of the Black Book of Communism, Courtois again asserts that “communist regimes committed crimes involving around one hundred million people, compared to around twenty-five million under Nazism.”

Learning From UAW History And Taking Control Of Work Reductions

December 14, 2025 Nevena Pilipovic-Wengler and Andrew Bergman, Left Voice. Strategize! Capitalism, History, Job Banks, Layoffs, United Auto Workers (UAW), Worker Rights and Jobs

On the morning of October 29, autoworkers at Factory Zero, the GM electric vehicle plant in Detroit, received an urgent notification about the status of our two-month temporary layoff. For over 1,100 of us working in the plant, the news was that we would have to return to work on Thanksgiving week, only to be indefinitely laid off in January. As the bosses reduce production from two shifts down to one, the holidays are bringing uncertainty and precarity, rather than comfort and stability. Over the past year, hundreds of workers at Factory Zero have already been impacted by rolling layoffs and termination of temporary workers, often announced without notice.

What A Century-Old Press Service Teaches Us About Worker Power

December 12, 2025 Victoria Grieve, Power At Work. Educate! History, Journalism, Labor Movement, Media, Women, Worker Rights and Jobs

This won’t come as a surprise to union activists, but the mainstream press doesn’t always fairly represent the labor movement. That was true in 1919, the year the Federated Press (FP) was founded, and it remains true today. The FP was created to counteract the anti-labor bias in the mainstream press during the post-World War I strike wave. At the first convention of the Farmer-Labor Party, a coalition of labor activists, editors, and socialists hatched the idea for a cooperative, labor-oriented press service that would provide national and international news to subscribing labor newspapers. Imagine the Associated Press, but written by and for labor.

Chris Hedges Report: How Palestinian History Is Systemically Forgotten

December 3, 2025 Chris Hedges, Substack. Resistance Report Book Review, Chris Hedges, History, Palestine

“How do we understand now if we don’t understand 1948 or 1917 or all the things that happened during the British Mandate?” This is a central question Micaela Sahhar, author and educator, asks while dissecting her book, Find Me at the Jaffa Gate. Sahhar reframes these monumental events in Palestinian history through an intimate, granular lens of her own family’s displacement during the 20th century. Sahhar joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, sharing more personal narratives, revealing how her family lived through the pivotal moments that shaped modern Palestine.

Two Peace Prizes: Nobel Legitimizes War While US Peace Prize Honors Resistance

November 30, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! History, Nobel Peace Prize, US Peace Memorial Foundation, Wars and Militarism

The Nobel Peace Prize was established in 1901. In the decades that followed, Mahatma Gandhi emerged as the international symbol of world peace for resistance to the dominant imperialism of his time – the British Empire. He was never recognized by the Nobel Committee. The Nobel Committee has honored figures ranging from the admirable Martin Luther King Jr. to the war criminal Henry Kissinger. Barack Obama received the prize after less than nine months in office, a “premature canonization” for not being George W. Bush. He then used his acceptance speech to justify US military invention.

40-Year Fight Against Cluster Bombs; Lessons To Stop US-Israel Weapons Pipeline

November 30, 2025 Joseph Mogul, NationofChange. Strategize! Anti-war Movement, Cluster Bombs, History, Israel, Palestine, Protests

After more than two years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, popular outrage has mounted against the weapons manufacturers enabling the slaughter. The antiwar movement in the United States has begun targeting local nodes of the weapons supply chain in cities from Oakland to Brooklyn and Boston. These campaigns have deployed a breadth of strategies: pressuring local municipalities to divest, physically disrupting the supply chain through direct action, encouraging airports to adopt arms embargo policies and demanding public and private industrial landlords evict weapons companies.

Communism Defeated Fascism Eighty Years Ago

On 13 November, at the Global South Academic Forum in Shanghai, China, we released our latest study, The 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War – Understanding Who Saved Humanity: A Restorationist History. An edited version of my keynote speech ‘Two Lies and an Enormous Truth’, delivered to introduce the study, is reproduced here. In early August 1942, the Soviets set up loudspeakers across Leningrad. The city had been under siege for over 300 days. People were starving. The conductor, Karl Eliasberg, kept the Leningrad Radio Orchestra going by holding rehearsals and personally taking his musicians to feeding stations.

Thanksgiving: Part Of ‘Broken Circle Holiday’

November 27, 2025 LaNada War Jack, Native News Online. Educate! American genocide, History, Indigenous Sovereignty, Native Americans, Thanksgiving

Traditional American Thanksgiving acknowledges a feast shared between Pilgrims and Indigenous Native people. We know our people assisted with the early immigration process of those people arriving from Europe because they were pitiful, hungry and starving. We were kind and loving people who helped them. However, once they got a foothold, they tried to completely extinguish us, stole our lands and now we are supposed to be thankful. This runs similar to the “Redskin” mascot Issue or the “Columbus Day” celebration of genocide.

International Israeli Occupying Forces Volunteers: Today’s ‘Sniper Tourists’

November 24, 2025 James Ray, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Bosnia, History, Israel, Militourism, Palestine, Snipers, Zionism

“I think those are bullet holes.” Those were the first words I muttered to my classmate on the bus into Sarajevo, Bosnia, during a brief visit in 2019. We had flown in from Frankfurt, Germany, as part of a study abroad program researching the interactions between the European Union (EU) and the post-Yugoslav and post-Soviet spheres. The program, as we quickly learned, amounted more to a lesson in how the German-dominated EU exploited the people of former communist projects for its own economic gain. Still, in the moment, all we could think of was how beautiful and, at the same time, damaged the city we were entering truly was.

Education Dismantling Ignores Tribal Nations

November 24, 2025 Levi Rickert, Native News Online. Educate! Department of Education, Education, History, Indigenous Peoples

As Congress weighed releasing the Epstein files last week, the Trump administration quietly announced plans to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education — shifting programs that serve Native students to other agencies without consulting a single tribe. Call it what you want: a strategic distraction, a bureaucratic reshuffling or business as usual for this administration. For Indian Country, it’s a violation of federal law. Tuesday’s announcement transferred key programs that serve Native students from the Department of Education to the departments of the Interior and Labor, with additional programs reassigned to Health and Human Services and the State Department.

The Consequences Of Imperialist Arrogance

November 17, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. Educate! Capitalism, Energy, European Union (EU), Foreign Policy, History, Oil and Gas, Western imperialism

In almost all the tragedies of ancient Greek theater, the protagonist has committed a fatal moral offense which leads them to a deadly outcome, almost always facilitated by their overweening arrogance. In the case of the progressive collapse of the collective West, one is dealing with five centuries of countless crimes of genocidal conquest and slavery. But their hateful culture of arrogance does not allow Western leaders to admit that they owe the wealth and political-military power of their countries to this genocidal criminality. This arrogance in the face of the collective West’s decline gets expressed in diplomatic bad faith and unilateral aggression, exacerbating the lack of cooperation and trust that characterizes the current international crisis.

Civil Disobedience: Preventing Tyranny

November 13, 2025 Mick Hall, Consortium News. Strategize! Capitalism, Civil Disobedience, History, Police

Australian psychiatrist and author Dr. Niall McLaren believes civil disobedience presents a means of stopping domination hierarchies in a society spiraling towards outright fascism. McLaren believes humans have a natural disposition towards forms of domination and if left unchecked, a political system of “narcisso-fascism” arises. McLaren told In Context: We see this playing out in the world every day, but none clearer than in the U.S., where their president is obsessed to the point of mania with forcing everybody to do as he tells them: ‘Do as we say or we’ll slap tariffs and sanctions on you, we’ll deport you or blow you up.’ He doesn’t care how much he damages people or even his own country, as long as he can order people around, he’s happy. As is typical, he constantly tests the limits.

Launch Of National Campaign For Native American Heritage Month

November 13, 2025 Native News Online. Organize! History, Indigenous culture, Indigenous Peoples, Native American Heritage Month

The American Indian College Fund has launched a new campaign, You Can Do Something, in recognition of Native American Heritage Month. The effort aims to reshape how Americans understand history, power and culture — and to encourage action to honor and support Native peoples. The campaign began Nov. 1 with the release of a 30-second film, What You Pass On, featuring real Indigenous students rather than actors. Set in everyday spaces such as classrooms, football fields and history displays, the film contrasts what Americans are often taught with what is left out.

Al-Qaeda Goes To Washington

November 12, 2025 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. Educate! Ahmed al-Sharaa, Al-Qaeda, History, Israel, Middle East, Syria, US Foreign Policy, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

I never thought I would see the day, but the day came Monday, when Ahmed al–Sharaa arrived at the White House for a sit-down with President Donald Trump and the usual gaggle of misfits who must be there to make sure the Trumpster understands at least a little of what is being said. A freak-show terrorist amid all that retro Oval Office elegance: Who could have imagined so offensive a tableau? Al–Sharaa, alert readers will know, is one of those dripping-with-blood Sunni jihadists who, during the West’s extended covert operation against the Assad regime in Syria, had the habit of changing their names and the names of their murderous militias whenever the world figured out who they were and the extent of their savagery.

Basis For Climate And Environmental Liberation

November 7, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Big Greens, Class Struggle, climate crisis, Climate Justice, Environment, Environmental Justice, History, Liberation

In the last five years, certain environmental justice groups and their agents have enjoyed the selective largesse of mainstream environmental groups and governmental agencies at the federal and State level. On the one hand this has increased the ubiquity of environmental justice, at least rhetorically, as well as the operating budgets for select environmental justice organizations. But we must ask ourselves what was/is the cost for certain environmental justice organizations to enjoy being selected and hand picked as the “leading” groups and primary spokespeople for the environmental justice movement? And, equally important, what effects do these “selections” have on the larger environmental justice movement, especially those community-based, grassroots organizations that are accountable to the poorest and most polluted communities in the nation and, in some cases, as the case with Cancer Alley in Louisiana, the entire world?
