The Main Political Report: An Analysis of the Moment In the Main Political Reports (MPRs) that Liberation Road prepares before each of our triennial congresses, we outline major societal contradictions and complexities of a given moment, while trying not to get too bogged down in the particular. The main focus of this report is on our common enemy, the New Confederacy. We analyze the composition of the New Confederacy, its agenda, and the emerging united front against it. We utilize this united front framework to update our understanding of shifts in the balance of forces and in key trends and ..read more

Anticapitalist Organisations of Russia, Ukraine, and NATO Countries The criminal war launched by Russian imperialism against Ukraine is the most serious threat to world peace since the end of the Cold War. It brings the world closer to a global conflagration than at any time since Mikhail Gorbachev’s peace initiatives. The main culprit for this dangerous evolution is US imperialism, which took advantage of the fall of the Soviet Union in order to consolidate its global military network, expand its presence in various parts of the world and launch invasion wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Washing ..read more

As humanity reels from a pandemic that has killed millions, and an environmental crisis that threatens most species on the planet, the great leaders of major powers (the elephants) couldn’t manage to find a non-military security solution in Europe.  And as the African proverb suggests, it is everyday people who pay the price.  Over the past 30 years, US-led Western imperialism has been primarily responsible for ratcheting up tensions through NATO expansion, despite the collapse of the USSR offering an historic opportunity to devolve competing military blocs. But the past few months ..read more

“…the class which at present holds social and political control…places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death”. – Frederick Engels in 1845 We mourn with George Floyd’s family and unite with the uprisings over state violence that are happening from coast to coast. Engels’ concept of social murder never rang truer than today. After centuries of state sponsored violence on Black bodies in the forms of chattel slavery, lynchings, deteriorated living conditions, shootings, and so much more, we continue to see Black life snuffed out ..read more

(1) Whether Trump wants a war with Iran is secondary to the fact that this administration has been on a collision course with Iran.  National Security Advisor Bolton and Secretary of State Pompeo have stated the objective of regime change through a war. However, given the opposition of the US military high command to what they recognize would turn into a quagmire, and the lack of enthusiasm within the Republican base for another war, the overall US orientation seems to be one of bullying. The hope is that this bullying will result in regime collapse or intimidation. Thus the US has impose ..read more

Statement from the National Executive Committee of Liberation Road/Organización Socialista del Camino para La Libertad (The Road/El Camino) Here is some of our thinking on our immediate and longer-term tasks as revolutionaries in the wake of Charlottesville. We must unmask the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” forces for who they are- for their violent, white-supremacist history that goes back to the Confederacy. We don’t call the right-wing groups that provoked the Charlottesville violence the ‘alt-right’ because that makes them seem part of the mainstream. It erases their long, violent his ..read more
