Why Is Religious Fundamentalism Growing in Today’s World?
from Away with All Gods! Unchaining the Mind and Radically Changing the World, 2008 All this—and, in relation to it, a relentless ideological offensive by the imperialists and their intellectual camp followers—has led to the notion, widely propagated and propagandized, of the defeat and demise of communism and, for the time being, the discrediting of communism among broad sections of people, including among those restlessly searching for a way to fight back against imperialist domination, oppression and degradation.2 But it is not only communism that the imperialists have worked to defeat and discredit.

Israel and Its “Special Role” for U.S. Imperialism
From Bringing Forward Another Way, 2006 To put it in basic terms, Israel is a colonial-settler state which was imposed on the region of the Middle East, at the cost of great suffering for the Palestinian people (and the people of the region more broadly). Israel could not have come into being without the backing of imperialism, and it acts not only in its own interests but as an armed garrison and instrument of enforcement for U.S. imperialism, which supplies the Israeli state with aid, and in particular military aid, to the tune of billions of dollars every year.
