Unidad y lucha: Informe y Análisis Sobre la Guerra de Pandillas en Albany Park

The People's Voice

“La revolución no es una cena de gala. No se hace como una obra literaria, un dibujo o un bordado. No se logra con la misma elegancia, calma y delicadeza.

Fascist DoJ Labels New York, Portland and Seattle “Anarchist Jurisdictions” and Heighten Repression – The Tasks of the Movement

The People's Voice

Comrade Toussaint United States: The United States “Justice” Department (a misnomer if there ever was one) has declared that three major cities are “anarchist” jurisdictions and thus on the verge of being “defunded”, or deprived of federal funding. This is following on the heels of Donald Trump’s memorandum of September 2, where he singles out the cities of New York, Seattle and Portland as jurisdictions that have failed to repress the popular movement which arose out of the response to the death of George Floyd. Trump’s memorandum singles out the CHAZ/CHOP “occupied zone” which held the streets of the gentrified … Continue reading Fascist DoJ Labels New York, Portland and Seattle “Anarchist Jurisdictions” and Heighten Repression – The Tasks of the Movement

Opinion: In Defense of a Phrase

The People's Voice

Comrade Redbeard “Death to America!” Three little words, riddled with so much power. For many residents of the United States, this phrase may conjure up images of pain, destruction, and fear, punctuated perhaps by crowds in Iran and other “dangerous” [read: nonwhite] countries chanting and burning flags. To them, these are the watchwords of brainwashed, bloodthirsty mobs, driven to an irrational hatred of a fundamentally decent country, if not the greatest to grace the planet. After a lifetime of exposure to a highly advanced corporate and state propaganda apparatus, which has succeeded in producing one of the most hyper-nationalistic populations … Continue reading Opinion: In Defense of a Phrase

Whistleblower Exposes ICE Fascists – Undocumented Women Received Hysterectomies In Sterilization Scheme

Justice for Jennifer Laude! Struggle for proletarian feminism against imperialism and transmisogyny!

The People's Voice

On September 7th, 2020, fascist president of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte granted an absolute pardon to a US-imperialist soldier in the 2014 murder of a trans woman, Jennifer Laude. The pardon serves as a reversal of policy for Duterte, who had previously promised to not release the murderer, Joseph Scott Pendleton. This has drawn the justified rage of the Laude family, the broad masses (particularly the LGBT masses), and even from some bourgeois politicians. This absolute pardon was criticized by Kabataan Makabayan, part of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines, as “the latest in a long list of acts … Continue reading Justice for Jennifer Laude!

Hurricane Laura Exposes Rottenness of Capitalism-Imperialism

The People's Voice

Comrade Mary Fifteen years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Louisiana and Mississippi coast, Hurricane Laura made landfall as a Category 4 storm on the Gulf Coast in Louisiana and Texas on August 26.

Near Lake Charles, LA, a fire was reported at a petrochemical plant, one of dozens of plants in the area. Louisiana and Texas communities hardest hit by Laura and petrochemical/oil leaks are overwhelmingly working class and Black. “Not only does this pollution cause cancer … Continue reading Hurricane Laura Exposes Rottenness of Capitalism-Imperialism
