TGP—Are we witnessing the emergence of a new wave of youth rebellion in Europe? In France, secondary school students are mobilizing and blocking schools, in Belgium the movement is spreading, in the Spanish State, young people are leading the struggle for the right to housing by camping out at Puerta del Sol, and in Germany protests against compulsory military service are growing. Faced with governments that are deepening austerity to increase military spending and intend to use young people in their wars, the streets are beginning to fill up. In this special edition of Red Internacional, we are broadcasting live with Josefina Martínez from the encampment at Puerta del Sol (Madrid) to hear firsthand accounts and demands.

TGP—Many comrades spoke in moving and generous terms, giving solidarity with his family and party, and paying tribute to his political contribution. We will share the messages of all the comrades who spoke at the service.
Maysel Brar, who has worked in the movement under her maiden name of Kathy Sharp, was Harpal’s close comrade and companion. They were married in 1966, raised Ranjeet and Joti together, and remained close collaborators, through all difficulties, throughout 60 years of struggle. Her thoughtful tribute is both moving and profound.

TF—not a day goes by in Europe without some drone scare, fire or blackout being blamed on Russia. We are told that these incidents are all part of a relentless “hybrid war” that Russia is waging against Europe — one that involves drone incursions, airspace violations, sabotage, arson, cyberattacks and more. We are told this “includes plots to place incendiary devices aboard DHL cargo planes, blow up railroad tracks in Poland, and burn down warehouses and shopping centers all over Europe”, as well as “acts of sabotage against defense companies and the defense industry in Europe”, and “attacks on European critical infrastructure” — but also, apparently, sending secret agents to defecate in the lavatories of Finnish MPs. We are also told that “[s]uch attacks began occurring shortly after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022”, and have escalated in recent months and weeks. According to Kaja Kallas, “Europe faces a fast-proliferation of sabotage attacks and airspace violations”.

GN—They analyze a controversial move by the Green Party in the UK regarding anti-Zionism (0:53-1:07). Joti argues that the party’s stance remains contradictory, noting their pro-NATO policy on Ukraine while activists within the party push for anti-imperialist positions on Palestine (7:09-10:00). She suggests this is a recurring attempt by social democratic parties to manage dissent while remaining tied to the imperialist establishment.

TGP—This video features a discussion with philosopher and professor Gabriel Rockhill regarding the book Marxism: How It Was Born, How It Died, How It Can Be Reborn by the late Italian historian Domenico Losordo.

Key Themes Discussed:

Critique of Western Marxism: Rockhill explains Losordo’s central argument that “Western Marxism” has often functioned as an ideological category tied to the imperial core, characterized by a fundamental opposition to “actually existing socialism” (0:02:15 – 0:04:30).
Imperialism as a Core Pillar: The conversation emphasizes that understanding socialism requires centering the struggle against imperialism and colonialism, which Losordo views as the primary structure of the modern world (0:05:04 – 0:08:00).
Defense of Socialist Projects: Rockhilland Losordo argue against the “Manichean binary” often promoted by Western intellectuals, instead advocating for a materialist analysis that recognizes the complex challenges faced by the Soviet Union, China, and other socialist projects.

The DD team comments on Tucker’s perilous wooing of the MAGA “white extinction” narrative, currently gaining traction throughout the “White Empire”, comprising both the EU and the USA. In that he joins other commentators, thinkers and podcasters like Paul Craig Roberts, an academic who also pushed “Supply Side” economics while in Reagan’s cabinet. Tucker’s inclusion in this implicit White supremacist ideology is suggested by several leading liberal watchdogs keeping tabs on political commentators, internet podcasters, and activists that have publicly promoted the “Great Replacement” or white demographic extinction narrative. For example, civil rights groups and extremism researchers, such as the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League, identify him as a prominent figure:
Tucker Carlson – An American podcaster and former television host who frequently discussed demographic replacement themes during his high-profile cable news broadcasts and continued addressing these concepts on his independent digital platform.
Nick Fuentes – An American white supremacist live-streamer and political commentator who uses his broadcast platform to explicitly advocate for white nationalist ideologies and demographic preservation.
