“Socialism is still a future that must be built” - Samir Amin

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.

Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.

Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.

In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.

These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.

The Western-backed Zionist criminals have murdered 1,000 Palestinians since Trump's fake ceasefire.

Mark Carney says slaughtering 3,400+ Iranians, including 168 school girls, was “worth it.”

We are governed by dead-eyed psychopaths.

After 22 months in Israeli detention camps, Israeli occupation authorities release the Palestinian detainee Mamoun Houmaida, from Al-Mazraa' Al-Sharqiya, northern Ramallah, in poor condition.

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

Every day. Every day.

It’s illegal now under the @Keir_Starmer regime to oppose this brazen war crime and outright violation of the ceasefire.

This is not just starvation. It’s a system built to destroy mind, body and soul.

Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.

How will you go on with your day when you hear about a father in Gaza, trapped beneath the rubble, begging rescuers not to save him?

Not because he had lost hope in life, but because he could hear the final breaths of his daughters beneath the debris. Their tiny hands were still holding his in the darkness, as if calling for him one last time. He was the father who had always been their safe haven, yet this time he was powerless to pull them from the dust and shattered concrete.

Only his head was visible above the ruins. He looked into the eyes of the rescuers with a gaze exhausted by fear and helplessness and said:

"Leave me... my daughters are here... I do not want to come out alone."

What heart can endure such a scene? What language can possibly describe the pain of a father who realizes he is losing his daughters one by one, while holding their hands until they grow cold, unable to offer rescue, comfort, or even one final embrace?

How will your day continue after hearing this story? How will you sit peacefully at your table, or smile at something trivial, knowing that somewhere there is a father whose last wish was not to survive alone?

And the question that continues to haunt the conscience of humanity remains:

How much pain must the world witness before it hears the cry of a single father in Gaza?

🚨Reminder: Around 50,000 FIFA-accredited journalists are covering the 2026 World Cup.

Not a single foreign journalist has been allowed into Gaza for over two and a half years to report on the ongoing genocide.

Suleiman Obeid, known as the “Pelé of Palestine,” was killed by an Israeli tank while standing in line trying to secure food for his five children.

In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.

[The Syllabus @syllabus_tweets]

Through strategic planning and a developmentalist ethos grounded in socialism, China has become the global vanguard of green industrialization. Our podcast of the week traces the rise of the PRC's green revolution.

The Trump regime deliberately targeted civilian water infrastructure in southern Iran. US missile attacks hit facilities serving the local population in Sirik. Targeting water supplies is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. The US regime has exposed its true nature again.

The misattribution of foreign interference due to ideology and prejudice is harmful to the fight against foreign interference.

My OpEd highlights one example:

[Paweł Wargan @pawelwargan]

I often think of this passage from Lenin’s text on Tolstoy and the labor movement: "Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle."

We rarely see the other parts of that paragraph. "Despair is typical of the classes which are perishing,” Lenin writes. "The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes."

Lenin was writing about the labor movement, and the objective historical process that saw it rise and replace the peasantry as the dominant force in Russia. The peasantry was gripped by despair because its class no longer had a future. The proletariat, by contrast, was growing in strength and number.

Today, Lenin’s insight also holds true of the streets of Iran, where people mobilize by the millions under bombardment. It is true of the communes in Venezuela, whose militants continue the task of building socialism and are prepared to take up arms to defend it. It is true of the people of Cuba, who remain defiant under a crushing blockade that has turned their cities dark.

Those who despair now — as a new world is being born — are really just mourning the death of liberalism. They are mourning the death of a world that never existed: a world of supposed lawfulness and “rules-based” governance. Anyone who has ever earnestly tried to bring a new world into being quickly learned that these were fictions created to secure impunity for the colonizer and oppressor.

That is why we find that people on the vanguard of the systemic transition underway — as with the labor movement in Lenin’s time — “have plenty to protest against but nothing to despair about.”
