ANTI-COLONIALIST , ANTI-IMPERIALIST , PRO-FREEDOM FOR THE WORLD'S PEOPLE

 A little late , sure , but this message is always timely :

LONG LIVE MAY 1st, THE DAY OF THE INTERNATIONAL PROLETARIAT! FOR THE PROLETARIAN LEADERSHIP OF THE ANTIIMPERIALIST FRONT! “The national liberation movement is waged in the oppressed nations against imperialism and the reaction. In the 1910s, Lenin paid close attention to the struggle in India, China, and Persia, arguing that the socialist revolution would not be solely and exclusively a struggle of the proletarians against their bourgeoisies, but also a struggle of all the colonies against their oppressors. He states that there is a fusion of two forces—the international proletarian movement and the national liberation movement—and that the weight of the masses in the oppressed nations constitutes the majority of the world’s population and will be decisive in the world revolution.” (Communist Party of Peru – International Line) “In a struggle that is national in character, the class struggle takes the form of national struggle, which demonstrates the identity between the two. On the one hand, for a given historical period the political and economic demands of the various classes must not be such as to disrupt co-operation; on the other hand, the demands of the national struggle (the need to resist Japan) should be the point of departure for all class struggle. Thus there is identity in the united front between unity and independence and between the national struggle and the class struggle.” (Chairman Mao Tse-tung – The Question of Independence and Initiative Within the United Front) “We are from the third world and the third world is the base of the world proletarian revolution, with one condition, that the Communist Parties brandish and lead. This is what must be done!” (Communist Party of Peru – The Speech of Chairman Gonzalo) On this day of the international proletariat, the 1st of May 2026, the Peru People’s Movement, generated organ of the Communist Party of Peru, sends its warm communist salutes to our class the international proletariat and to the oppressed peoples of the world; to the communists, combatants and masses that give their lives in the people’s wars and armed struggles under the banner of Maoism in Peru, India, Turkey and Philippines, and in the wars of national liberation against imperialism. We reaffirm ourselves in the universal ideology of the proletariat, Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism, and in its concrete application to the Peruvian revolution, its guarantee of triumph Gonzalo Thought, basis of Chairman Gonzalo’s great leadership, center of party unity and the greatest man of the present era; and to his universal contributions to our universal ideology. The present situation in the world powerfully confirms the Marxist truth, that revolution is the main historical and political tendency and that imperialism is sinking in its general and final crisis. The principal contradiction in the world today, between imperialism and the oppressed nations of the third world, is sharpening rapidly with its focus shifting to the Middle East. The just and heroic wars of resistance and national liberation in Palestine, Iran, Lebanon and other countries, against the genocidal aggression of yankee imperialism and its Zionist runt, are now being waged in a coordinated way, uniting the peoples of the region and of the world against imperialism. These struggles, together with the more and more acute crisis and degeneration of the whole imperialist system, are driving a powerful global antiimperialist movement, even in the belly of the beast in the imperialist countries. The wars, the crisis and the fascistization of the reactionary states also sharpen the fundamental contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie in all countries. We communists reaffirm ourselves in the international proletariat’s support for all the national struggles that combat imperialism, serving the world revolution, whether these are led by the proletariat or by other classes. We condemn and crush the dark role of the revisionists, who now support the imperialist aggression against Iran, either openly or hypocritically condemning “both the Iranian regime and imperialism”. In the face of these revisionists we salute the example of the communists and revolutionaries of the region who give their lives in the war against the imperialist genocide, struggling shoulder to shoulder with the bourgeois and/or religious forces against the common enemy. In each of these wars of national liberation, as well as in the global antiimperialist movement, it is indispensable and urgent that the communists struggle within the united front, aiming to assume the role of leading it, because the proletarian leadership of the struggle against imperialism will be absolutely necessary in order to conquer full liberation and finally crush and sweep imperialism off the face of the earth. Only with Communist Parties with independence and leading its own armed forces can the proletariat represent the interests and the demands of the class and the people within the united front. We emphasize that the power of the present antiimperialist movement, in the Middle East, in the other oppressed nations and in the whole world, resides in the immense working masses that hate imperialism and are calling for revolution. Imperialist exploitation and oppression will not be defeated through other imperialist powers or superpowers, nor through the agreements and the business deals of the ruling classes; they will be defeated by the armed masses. The three superpowers, US, China and Russia, and the other imperialist powers now try to save their dying system through a new redivision of the world, using the oppressed nations as pawns. The hoax of the “multipolar world” is not an antiimperialist politics; it is a dark and impossible dream of saving imperialism.   In conclusion, the struggle of the proletariat and the oppressed peoples against imperialism is advancing, confirming that we are in the strategic offensive of the world proletarian revolution. But the proletarian forces are not yet sufficiently developed to assume the leadership of the struggle, and the lack of proletarian leadership limits and restricts the antiimperialist movement. It is the duty of the communists on all continents to lead by example in the wars of national liberation and in the struggles of the class, and to build or reconstitute their Communist Parties in the midst of these struggles as militarized Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties to prepare, initiate and develop the people’s war in the democratic, socialist and cultural revolutions until our final goal, the forever golden communism. LONG LIVE THE 1st OF MAY, THE DAY OF THE INTERNATIONAL PROLETARIAT! UNITE THE PEOPLES UNDER PROLETARIAN LEADERSHIP AGAINST ALL THE IMPERIALISTS AND THEIR WARS! LONG LIVE MAOISM, DOWN WITH REVISIONISM! PEOPLE’S WAR UNTIL COMMUNISM! Peru People’s Movement May 2026

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

 This is no " conspiracy " , this is how big business works .

Data indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated a massive transfer of wealth, with Oxfam and other researchers describing it as one of the largest in recent history. While hundreds of millions of people were pushed into poverty, the world's billionaires saw their fortunes surge by an estimated $5 trillion in the first two years of the pandemic. 

Key Findings on Wealth Transfer (2020–2024):

• Billionaire Wealth Surge: Billionaire wealth rose more in the first 17 months of the pandemic than it did in the previous 15 years combined.
• Top 10 Richest: The world’s ten richest men doubled their fortunes from roughly $700 billion to over $1.5 trillion between March 2020 and early 2022.
• New Billionaires: A new billionaire was minted approximately every 30 hours during the first two years of the pandemic.
• Wealth Reconcentration: By 2024, billionaire wealth grew by another $2 trillion, bringing the total number of billionaires to 2,769.
• Small Business vs. Big Business: While many small businesses failed due to shutdowns, large corporations and their shareholders saw massive gains, particularly in the tech and pharmaceutical sectors. 

Factors Driving the Transfer:

• Asset Price Surge: Aggressive government stimulus and central bank actions led to a massive, swift rebound in stock markets, which benefited the wealthy who own the majority of financial assets.
• Shift to Digital: Companies like Amazon, Apple, and Facebook grew exponentially, increasing the net worth of their owners.
• Lockdowns and "Essential" Status: State-mandated lockdowns favored large, established corporations that could operate remotely or were deemed "essential," while small, local businesses faced severe restrictions. 

Contrasting Outcomes:

• Poverty Increase: The pandemic resulted in the largest increase in global inequality since records began, with over 160 million people pushed into poverty.
• Loss of Income: Women, low-wage workers, and minority groups were disproportionately affected, losing an estimated $800 billion in income in 2020. 

Contextual Data (Canada/US):

• In Canada, while inequality generally spiked, a 2026 report found that the wealth gap actually tightened by 5% between 2019 and 2023, partly due to housing price increases benefitting some homeowners and intergenerational transfers.
• In the US, studies showed that by May 2022, billionaire wealth was over 58% higher than in March 2020. 

Experts and organizations, including Oxfam, have cited these trends in calls for higher taxes on the "excess profits" and wealth gained during the pandemic to fund a more equitable recovery. 

DOWN N' DIRTY

 When was the last time you listened to Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones , if ever ? That is some down n' dirty rock n' roll . Right now it hits the spot .

ICE ALWAYS MELTS

The movement against the ICE fascists in the u.s. continues , both within the country , and even behind the walls of those gutter dwelling racists .

ICE is a true reflection of the amerikkkan imperialists and what they stand for .

Hunger Strikes Erupt at ICE Concentration Camps in Michigan and Pennsylvania

Read our feature article on combating and resisting ICE terror here.

Hundreds of imprisoned immigrants are on hunger strike at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

At the North Lake Processing Center in Baldwin, Michigan, detainees initiated a hunger strike on April 20 in protest of medical neglect and legal delays in their cases.

A press release from the advocacy group No Detention Centers in Michigan included a statement from detainee Ahmad Alnajdawi of Jordan: “I have a lot of people here who speak Arabic, and this is very hard for them. They cannot talk to the case managers; they cannot talk to ICE officers; they cannot talk to anyone. The food here is pitiful. I want the people outside to know, they’re treating us like animals.”

At least 50 anti-ICE protesters assembled outside of the detention center in support of the striking prisoners on April 21.

A hunger strike broke out around the same time at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. There, nearly 100 immigrants have gone on strike to protest contaminated food, staff neglect, and lack of medical attention.

The strike was called after a prisoner began to vomit a “green substance” and then fainted on April 16. Staff members refused aid to the sick prisoner, instead ordering other detainees to handle the emergency themselves.

The Shut Down Detention Campaign, which has publicized reports from inside, is calling for the release of those who are sick or on hunger strike, the closure of the facility, and the termination of the prison contracts by Clearfield County commissioners.

Clearfield County commissioners have denied there ever being a hunger strike at Moshannon.

In response to the hunger strike at Moshannon Valley, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson justified the torture of inmates: “This is the best healthcare that many aliens have received in their entire lives. (…) Being in detention is a choice.”

Moshannon Valley has among the highest rates of solitary confinement in the country. According to federal reports, Chinese migrant Chaofeng Ge committed suicide there after just five days in custody in August 2025, and East African migrant Fouad Saeed Abdulkadir died from a medical episode after being held in the concentration camp for 215 days.

Both the Michigan and Pennsylvania facilities are owned by the private prison monopoly GEO Group.

A record number of ICE detainees have been murdered in 2026 already. Immigrants sent to concentration camps around the country have rebelled against their conditions in the form of hunger strikes and demonstrations, including at the Dilley detention center in Texas, “Alligator Alcatraz” camp in Florida, the “Louisiana Lockup” at the infamous Angola prison, and the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.

Iran warns US naval involvement in Hormuz would violate ceasefire arrangements and threaten regional maritime stability.

Key Developments

• Iran rejects Trump’s “Project Freedom” naval initiative in the Strait of Hormuz.
• Iranian officials warn any US intervention would violate existing ceasefire understandings.
• Tehran insists all vessel transit through Hormuz must coordinate with Iranian armed forces.

Iran Rejects ‘Project Freedom’

Iran strongly rejected US President Donald Trump’s newly announced naval initiative known as ‘Project Freedom’, warning that any American involvement in managing transit through the Strait of Hormuz would constitute a violation of the current ceasefire framework.

Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, issued a sharp warning to Washington, stating that US interference in emerging maritime arrangements in the Strait would breach existing understandings.

Azizi dismissed Trump’s initiative outright, saying the management of the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf waters “would not be dictated by Trump’s delusional posts.”

He also accused Washington of attempting to impose a political narrative over maritime security developments in the region while ignoring Iranian sovereignty.

Iran Demands Direct Coordination

Ali Abdollahi, commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, declared that the security of the Strait of Hormuz is “exclusively” under Iranian control.

“The security of the Strait of Hormuz is in the hands of the Iranian armed forces,” Abdollahi said.

He stressed that all commercial vessels and oil tankers seeking safe passage through the Strait must coordinate directly with Iranian forces stationed in the area.

“Any safe passage in the strait is coordinated with our forces,” he added.

Abdollahi warned ships against attempting to cross the waterway without prior coordination with Iranian authorities.

Warnings to US and Regional Allies

The Iranian commander also issued direct warnings to the United States and allied regional states.

He said any foreign military force attempting to enter or approach the Strait of Hormuz would face attack.

Abdollahi described US military forces as “aggressor terrorists” engaged in “piracy and theft in open waters.”

He further warned Washington’s regional allies against supporting American operations in the Gulf.

“Aggressors and their allies must understand that the steadfast and courageous nation and armed forces have proven that they will respond very harshly to any aggression,” he said.

According to Abdollahi, any renewed US military escalation would destabilize the region further and place maritime traffic at greater risk.

Trump announced ‘Project Freedom’ late Sunday, describing it as a humanitarian naval initiative aimed at assisting foreign vessels stranded in the Strait of Hormuz amid regional tensions.

In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed multiple countries had requested US help in “freeing” ships unable to safely transit the strategic waterway.

He said the operation would begin Monday morning, West Asia time, and would focus on assisting vessels belonging to countries not involved in the conflict.
