A 26-year-old protester was killed during a brutal crackdown by Chile’s notorious Carabineros riot police in Santiago. Thousands gathered for the annual protests leading up to the anniversary of the 1973 US-backed Pinochet coup on September 11. The protest, led by relatives of those who suffered under Pinochet’s brutal regime, was a call for justice and accountability.
Eyewitnesses say the attacker who fatally stabbed the young protester came from the lines of the Carabineros shouting, “I am a counter-protester.” Two others were injured in the attack, and the assailant is now in custody. The Carabineros, infamous for their blurred lines with far-right groups, are known to operate on the margin of law.
Water cannons, tear gas, and forceful arrests were unleashed on the crowds. This escalation marks the second consecutive year that the government, led by self-proclaimed leftist Gabriel Boric, has met commemorative protests with state violence.

Germany is slipping into the shadows of its past as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) tightens its grip. The party, known for its hardline anti-migrant stance, has pledged to bar refugees and asylum seekers from public events. At a recent press conference in Brandenburg, AfD politician Lena Kotré dismissed “potential innocent victims” of this policy as mere “collateral damage.”
Regional elections are less than two weeks away in the same federal state. After a breakthrough with the first electoral victory of a German fascist party since World War II, the AfD is also leading poll ratings in Brandenburg. Meanwhile, the so-called “firewall” policy—once promised by mainstream parties to block any cooperation with the AfD—is crumbling. The right-wing conservative CDU, which ruled Germany for 16 years under Angela Merkel, is now flirting with the idea of cooperating with the AfD.

Our reporting is under attack; here’s how you can help us push back.
red. media is once again in META’s crosshairs, targeted for exposing the realities in Palestine. META’s restriction notice points to one of our posts about Gaza, for which we’ve been “punished.”
META has openly stated that it removed nearly a million posts in the first three days of the conflict. Human Rights Watch has accused META of “systematic censorship of pro-Palestinian posts,” and we have experienced this bias firsthand.

Israel’s isolation internationally continues as Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi rebukes his German counterpart about Germany’s unconditional support of Israel. While usually in lockstep with German interests, Berlin’s uncompromising support for the genocide in Gaza has caused even Western allies like Jordan to openly criticize the German government. Jordan itself has normalized relations with Israel and enabled the genocide of Palestinians. All this indicates that the West’s credibility is breaking down further and further even with its own puppet states.

On this day 48 years ago, Mao Zedong died at the age of 82. Mao brought the Chinese Communist Party to power in one of the most extraordinary moments in Chinese history. The peasant turned revolutionary led the Chinese revolution, transforming the country from a poverty-stricken feudal nation into a socialist society. After Mao’s death, Deng Xiaoping led a coup that started the restoration of capitalism in China. Modern day China now continues this legacy of revisionism by using communist ideas to disguise capitalist exploitation.

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Marseille this weekend, joining a nationwide wave of protests against the appointment of Michel Barnier as the new prime minister in what many see as a coup attempt. The protest wave comes after an election in which the left secured the largest number of seats but saw their candidate overlooked by President Emmanuel Macron.
Protesters filled Marseille’s central squares and main thoroughfares, carrying banners and chanting slogans critical of the new government. Many in Marseille are concerned that Barnier’s appointment will be heavily influenced by the far right, which holds a significant number of seats. Critics argue that this influence could undermine the credibility of his premiership and lead to policies that favor right-wing agendas.

Did you know that during the Great Patriotic War against fascism, a Soviet city was cut off from the outside world for over two years?
On this day 82 years ago, on September 8, 1941, the German military cut the last remaining road the city of Leningrad had to the outside world. What followed was 872 days of heroic resistance by Soviet citizens but also unbearable hunger, despair, and cruelty, as 1.5 million people died before the blockade was finally lifted on January 27, 1944.
Watch Lady Izdihar explain how the legendary Soviet armed forces liberated the city after one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history.

Militant protesters took to Berlin’s streets, responding to Israel’s ruthless expansion of its war of extermination into the West Bank. Around 100 masked activists marched through Berlin, condemning Germany’s direct complicity in the genocide, with Berlin handing weapons straight into the hands of the Israeli occupying forces. Slogans were sprayed on walls like “When West Bank burns, Berlin burns.” Light barricades went up, and pyrotechnics lit the night.

An attack by communist guerrillas on Chile’s fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet today in 1986 narrowly missed its target, and Pinochet escaped death. The attack marked the only executed attempt to overthrow the dictatorship that had ousted Chile’s socialist president, Salvador Allende, 13 years earlier.
The attempted attack by the communist group Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front (FPMR) was planned in detail for months. Even though the attack failed, the FPMR still serves as a model for revolutionary Chileans. Read on to discover the relatively unknown capital of the country’s leftist history.

”We stood here as human shields and the army fired from behind us” - This is just one of the many horrific testimonies coming from Palestinians in Jenin refugee camp. After 10 days of an invasion, the occupation forces withdrew but left massive destruction throughout the city.
Palestinian civil defense crews in Jenin have started clearing out rubble and repairing infrastructure. Many people were imprisoned in their homes without basic supplies as the Israeli forces besieged different areas across Jenin.
The Israeli army announced that the operation is not over and will continue as needed. Since the start of the invasion, Israeli forces have killed at least 39 Palestinians and arrested over 180. Several Palestinian bodies have been confiscated by Israeli forces.

Thousands of Bangladeshis flooded the streets of Dhaka, the capital, to protest against Israel’s war of extermination against Palestine. The streets were awash with enormous Palestinian flags. The protests were spearheaded by Bangladesh's powerful student movement, fresh from toppling former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the most violent political upheaval the nation has seen since its independence in 1971. As protesters stormed government buildings and the Prime Minister’s residence, the Palestinian flag flew side by side with the Bangladeshi flag.

Israel has failed in defeating the Jenin Battalion following the 10 days of brutal military operation in the occupied West Bank. Last night, dozens of fighters appeared in Jenin refugee camp to commemorate their fallen comrades during the Israeli attack.
During the commemoration, speeches were given by fighters who remained steadfast in their resistance to the occupation. They thanked the people of Jenin for being the backbone of the resistance and supporting it.
Jenin has been the strongest base for the resistance in the West Bank for decades. The fighters there have fought against several invasions by the Israeli occupation forces.

Israel has launched a large attack on multiple locations in Syria, killing at least 16 people and injuring over 43. The attack, which was carried out overnight, targeted the cities of Damascus, Homs, Hama, and Tartus with more than 15 airstrikes.
The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the world to condemn the attacks and put an end to Israeli aggression. Israel has been carrying out attacks on Syria for years, claiming to be targeting Iranian forces but often killing civilians. The most significant Israeli attack recently was on the Iranian Embassy in Damascus. In response, Iran launched the largest attack on Israel in its history.

We spoke to Luiginio Bracci Roa about how Venezuela has beaten back the right-wing coup attempt that followed the July 28 elections.
While the threat of further US intervention still looms over the country, the violent opposition attacks have subsided thanks to a government crackdown and poor strategy from the oppositions own leader, María Corina Machado.

The Berlin police launched an aggressive crackdown on a pro-Palestine protest, leading to several violent arrests, as reported by red. media on the ground. Thousands took to the streets of the capital of Germany, the number two key backer of Israel’s annihilation war against Palestine.
Meanwhile, a pitifully small group of Zionist counter-protesters gathered, blasting pro-genocidal rap music in support of the Israeli occupation forces, shielded heavily by the Berlin police.
Exactly 11 months since Israel’s onslaught on Gaza began, Germany’s arms supply to Israel shows no signs of slowing down. The latest research by the SIPRI institute reveals that between 2019 and 2023, Germany provided 30% of Israel's military imports.

Wildfires are devastating Bolivia in the eastern regions of the country which border Brazil. Air quality is now considered “hazardous” in numerous towns and cities according to the Air Quality Index (AQI). Indigenous communities in the Amazon basin have been most affected so far.
Bolivia’s Ministry of Defense has mobilized firefighters and humanitarian resources for those affected. They have also stated that the issue is caused by fires and smoke spreading from Brazil into Bolivia.
Bolivia is experiencing record-breaking increases in deforestation, as well as the opening of public lands for production of soy and other export goods.
Big landowners, aligned with the right-wing opposition, dominate the eastern regions. They are a powerful bloc that successive governments have found difficult to challenge due to their grip on a significant portion of food production.

EXCLUSIVE: A comrade of Aysenur Ezgi, the Turkish-American activist shot in the head by Israeli snipers today, recounts the harrowing moments from Ezgi’s peaceful protest up to her death.
Ezgi was a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a group defiantly active in occupied Palestine.
A fellow ISM volunteer who stood alongside Ezgi during the protest insists that Israeli snipers targeted her because she dared to expose their war crimes.
At home in the US, 26-year-old Ezgi was a leading activist in the student movement for Palestine at the University of Washington in Seattle. Photos of her in a graduation robe, wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh, spread across social media after her death.
The responses from US officials are weak. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made vague promises of an investigation. But Washington has a long history of providing diplomatic cover for Israeli forces, leaving the killers of American activists unpunished.

“This was an intentional killing” – eyewitnesses recount the murder of the Turkish-American activist by the Israeli occupation forces in Beita village near Nablus city in the occupied West Bank. The activist was announced dead after being shot in the head with a live bullet during a protest against the confiscation of land by Israel.
Aysenur Ezgi was volunteering with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), an organization providing a protective presence and solidarity with Palestinians in the West Bank. Ezgi is not the first person to by killed by Israelis in Beita. Since protests started in 2020, 17 Palestinians were killed in Beita.
In recent years, Beita has seen protests, particularly against the construction of new illegal Israeli outposts on the land of the village. In June, the Israeli security cabinet approved the “legalization” of the Evyatar settlement, causing the people of Beita and international solidarity activists to restart weekly protests on July 5, 2024.

Macron has allied with the far-right to appoint conservative grandee, Michel Barnier, as France’s new Prime Minister. Despite the recent electoral victory of the “New Popular Front,” Macron has disregarded the results and imposed Barnier, a member of the “Les Républicains” party, which came in fourth in the last election.
The appointment of Barnier will rely on the support of Le Pen’s far-right group in parliament because Macron’s centrist grouping came in second place. This means that Le Pen’s party will be able to extract numerous concessions as they’ll have the power to pull the rug from the fragile government.
The move is a flagrant disregard for the outcome of the July elections, in which the “New Popular Front,” a coalition of the Communist Party, Melenchon’s France Insoumise, and the Socialist Party, came in first place. Meaning, they should have been given the office of the Prime Minister.

Anti-migrant hate speech has reached the center of German society, as seen here during an election campaign speech by Friedrich Merz, leader of Germany’s largest party, the right-wing conservative CDU. Once branding itself as the “firewall” against the far-right AfD, the CDU has drifted closer to its “rivals.”
The CDU’s shift to the right is not least aimed at taking the wind out of the sails of their fascist competitors. The AfD recently won regional elections as the strongest force in its history for the first time, and its federal election poll ratings are soaring by 17.5%. The CDU/CSU coalition still holds the lead at 32.4%, but the margin is shrinking.
Merz’s message is clear: the real enemy isn’t the economic downturn or years of political mismanagement—it’s the foreigners. Conveniently forgotten is that the CDU just spent 16 years in power, crafting the very policies that have defined modern Germany, from liberal economic reforms to austerity cuts.
