- Features / Women, Fascism“It is through all these events that the alliances necessary to counter fascism and imperialism are being forged. It is up to us to involve the trade unions, human rights organizations, feminist and LGBTQI+ movements, anti-racist organizations, those campaigning for Palestine, and those standing in solidarity with the Ukrainian and the Iranian people.

Has Trump's downfall begun? Or are we, on the contrary, on the eve of his leap into total dictatorship? It is too early to predict the outcome. But one thing seems certain: by unleashing his war against Iran with Netanyahu, by underestimating the adversary, by spitting on his imperialist and other allies with contempt (the crown prince of Saudi Arabia “didn't think he'd be kissing my ass”), the would-be dictator has put himself in an extremely difficult situation, from which it is difficult to see how he can emerge without suffering a more or less humiliating defeat...
