Victory Day — May 9, 2026

Eighty-one years ago, the Red Army raised the Soviet banner over Berlin and shattered the N**i war machine at the cost of more than 27 million Soviet lives. Today, as empire rewrites history and sanitizes fascism’s roots in capitalism, we remember a harder truth:

The defeat of N**ism was not won by Wall Street, Hollywood mythology, or the “free market.” It was won through unimaginable sacrifice by workers, peasants, anti-fascists, partisans, and colonized peoples across the world — led decisively on the Eastern Front by the Soviet Union.

But Victory Day is also a reminder of what came next.

Even before the ashes cooled in Europe, Anglo-American power began transforming the anti-fascist alliance into a new global order built on containment, political warfare, covert operations, propaganda systems, and the reconstruction of capitalist empire. The Cold War did not emerge from “misunderstanding.” It emerged from the struggle over the future of the world itself.

This new essay traces how that transformation happened — from wartime cooperation to psychological warfare, covert intervention, ideological management, and the construction of the U.S.-led imperial order that still shapes our reality today.

The Cold War was never just about Europe.
It was about crushing socialism, disciplining decolonization, and containing revolutionary transformation across the globe.

Struggle to the living.

The essay dismantles the myth that the Cold War was a reaction to "Soviet aggression." Instead, it reveals it as America's calculated strategy to reinforce a capitalist world order post-World War II, driven by anxieties over rising leftist movements and anti-colonial uprisings. It highlights how the U.S. initiated a campaign of political warfare and economic reconstruction through the Marshall Plan, effectively shaping Europe and other regions under its imperial influence. To Washington, the real danger was not communism but the threat of genuine independence that challenged capitalist dominance. The Cold War was less about ideological battles and more about inter-imperialist struggles to determine global economic control.

The Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi is nothing more than a polished façade for France's enduring imperial ambitions in Africa, cleverly cloaked in the language of innovation and partnership. While hailed as a diplomatic reset as it moves outside Francophone Africa for the first time, the summit simply signals France’s desperation to regain footholds after being ousted from the Sahel. As Kenya grapples with its own debt crisis, the summit reflects a deeper reality: a struggle for sovereignty masked by corporate rhetoric. Opposing forces are mobilizing against this repackaging of imperialism, unearthing the true narrative of resistance against old empires in new guises.

Everybody keeps asking whether BRICS and multipolarity are “good” or “bad” like history is a Marvel movie with superheroes and villains. Wrong question.

The real question is this: why is the West panicking so hard?

Because for the first time in generations, the empire can no longer fully dictate the terms of global development. China is building infrastructure across the Global South. ASEAN is consolidating into a massive economic bloc. BRICS is expanding. Countries once trapped under IMF chains are exploring alternatives. Trade corridors are shifting. Technology flows are shifting. Energy flows are shifting. The world the Atlantic ruling class built after 1991 is cracking in real time.

But let’s be clear: multipolarity is not socialism automatically descending from the heavens on a high-speed rail line from Beijing. Workers are still exploited. Capital still rules. Platform monopolies still exist. The billionaires didn’t disappear just because the map changed color.

What’s changing is the terrain of struggle itself.

Under unipolar empire, the entire planet was forced to move through Washington, Wall Street, NATO, Silicon Valley, and the dollar system. Now the Global South is prying open space to breathe, maneuver, industrialize, negotiate, and resist. That matters. A lot.

The old imperial center promised “globalization” and delivered debt, war, deindustrialization, austerity, surveillance, and endless humiliation. Now the same people who bombed half the planet want you terrified because China builds railways, semiconductor industries, logistics corridors, ports, and development banks instead of drone bases.

This essay is about the contradiction inside all of this. The rise of a multipolar world inside a still-capitalist system. The emergence of new corridors of sovereignty alongside new forms of exploitation. The struggle of workers trying to survive and organize inside a world being reorganized beneath their feet.

The future is not written yet. But one thing is obvious: the empire is no longer alone at the steering wheel.

Read. Study. Organize.

The Atlantic neoliberal order is disintegrating, revealing the ravages inflicted on workers and the environment by a relentless pursuit of profit. As BRICS+ nations seek to reclaim industrial sovereignty and labor rights, they face a chaotic multipolar reality where exploitation continues under different guises. Amid profound instability, the laboring class must transition from mere instruments of production to conscious political actors capable of reshaping development. This moment offers a critical opportunity: to reclaim the narrative and construct a world centered on human dignity and ecological balance. The question now is whether history will be rewritten by workers or remain dominated by elites.

The empire wants Chinese-level AI supremacy with an electric grid held together by privatization, deregulation, fossil fuel revival, and extension cords running through the carcass of neoliberalism.

This new WPE exposes the real contradiction beneath the AI boom: Big Tech monopolies, Wall Street, the Pentagon, and the national security state are reorganizing public energy infrastructure around a computational arms race against China while workers get shutoff notices, communities lose water, schools lose tax revenue, and the public gets handed the bill.

The “cloud” was never weightless. It was always steel, copper, lithium, pipelines, substations, surveillance systems, military contracts, and empire.

From Virginia’s hyperscale server corridors to China’s state-planned electrification strategy, this essay maps the widening gap between imperial ambition and the material infrastructure base required to sustain it.

The Harvard policy brief on AI and the electric grid inadvertently exposes the contradictions of a decaying American empire desperate to maintain technological supremacy through monopolistic control. Beneath the façade of innovation lies a stark energy crisis, with the rising demand from AI data centers straining an already fragile grid. As the U.S. grapples with fragmented privatization while competing against China’s centralized planning, the notion of the “clean cloud” is shattered by its heavy reliance on fossil fuels and depleted resources. This crisis symbolizes an empire’s struggle, revealing a society entangled in a web of profiteering that prioritizes corporate gain over public need, leaving ordinary citizens to pay the price for elite ambition.

France got kicked out of the Sahel, so now Macron lands in Nairobi talking about “innovation,” “partnership,” and “Africa Forward” like Françafrique just magically evolved into a TED Talk. Meanwhile Kenya sits at the crossroads of IMF austerity, Chinese infrastructure, French military cooperation, Haiti interventionism, and growing popular unrest against neocolonial rule.

This new WPE excavates the real story beneath the summit branding: imperialism retreating from one front while trying to move sideways through climate finance, debt, logistics corridors, security agreements, and comprador diplomacy.

From the streets of Nairobi to the Sahel rupture, from Haiti to BRICS+, this essay maps the contradictions shaping Africa’s place inside the collapsing unipolar order and the struggle for real sovereignty beyond empire’s newest disguise.

The empire is deleting the receipts.

Not because it suddenly became “anti-science,” but because the numbers are beginning to indict the system itself. Hunger statistics. Climate archives. Maternal mortality tracking. Pollution maps. Public health datasets. The Trump regime is gutting the very tools ordinary people use to prove what capitalism and imperial decline are doing to their lives.

This new WI investigation breaks down how the war on public data is really a war over reality itself. The ruling class still has unlimited money for AI surveillance, predictive policing, biometric tracking, border militarization, and counterinsurgency infrastructure - but suddenly cannot “afford” to measure whether children are starving, whether mothers are dying, or whether communities are being poisoned.

That contradiction is not accidental. It is technofascism adapting to collapse.

When an empire can no longer solve its contradictions materially, it increasingly tries to manage awareness of the contradictions instead. If the people lose access to reliable public statistics, they become dependent on official narratives manufactured by the state-corporate media apparatus. Reality itself becomes privatized.

This essay traces the deeper history behind that process - from slavery and colonial census systems to COINTELPRO, surveillance capitalism, data monopolies, and the modern war on public memory. It also highlights the archivists, anti-colonial organizers, librarians, environmental justice networks, and grassroots preservation projects already fighting back against this managed amnesia.

The empire wants hunger without statistics, poison without maps, climate collapse without archives, and repression without records.

We intend to preserve the receipts.

The Trump regime's assault on federal datasets is a calculated effort to erase reality, obscuring critical information on hunger, pollution, maternal health, and climate disasters. By dismantling public data, the ruling class suppresses the very tools citizens need to challenge systemic failures. Expert narratives dominate discourse, overshadowing the voices of the oppressed who suffer and resist. This isn't just bureaucratic negligence; it's a deliberate strategy to manage perception amidst a crumbling empire. As the regime erases statistics, communities are disarmed and rendered invisible, making the struggle for public knowledge essential to resistance against state control. The battle for data is a battle for truth.
