Political Snobbery Delays Black Liberation

April 29, 2026 Mark P. Fancher, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Black Liberation, Black misleadership, Democratic Party, Elections, Political Education

As the world has grown weary of the morally bankrupt and criminally insane shenanigans of the Trump administration, Democratic Party leaders have struggled to contain their glee. They smell blood in the water, and they lick their chops in anticipation of a proverbial “blue wave” of victories in the upcoming mid-term elections. While the Democrats have felt a sense of euphoria as they have watched millions of people pour into the streets during “No Kings” protests, Party leaders most certainly have been alarmed by the overwhelming whiteness of the crowds.

Anti-Muslim Far-Right Leader Viktor Orban Defeated In Landmark Election

April 13, 2026 Middle East Monitor. Educate! Elections, Europe, Far Right Politics, Hungary, Israel, Viktor Orban

Israel has suffered a major political setback in Europe after Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, conceded defeat in a landmark election that ended his 16-year rule and handed a crushing victory to the opposition Tisza party led by Péter Magyar. Tisza won 138 of 199 parliamentary seats, giving it a two-thirds majority and the power to begin dismantling much of Orbán’s entrenched political system. Orbán’s defeat followed years of economic stagnation, corruption scandals and growing public anger at his authoritarian style of government.

France’s Communists Hold Back the Far Right, For Now

March 28, 2026 Phineas Rueckert, Portside. Strategize! Communist Party, Elections, Far Right Politics, France, Public Services

The setting of Émile Zola’s 1885 novel, Germinal, is nothing if not bleak. In the northern French mining settlement where the book takes place, the roads were “black like mourning trim,” the village “dead . . . draped in its shroud.” “The wide streets, divided into small terraced gardens, remained deserted between four large uniform buildings,” Zola writes. It’s a kind of social realism that has long shaped the collective idea of what the old industrial north is like. Visiting Méricourt, one of the many former mining villages that dot northern France, that image feels far from present reality.

March 22 Elections And Lessons From Bolivia

March 21, 2026 Cindy Forster, Resumen English. Educate! Bolivia, Elections, Indigenous Peoples, Lawfare, Neoliberalism

Bolivia’s capitalist elites are losing their grip this week in their efforts to crush socialist candidates in “sub-national” elections to be held on March 20. Socialists, most of them Indigenous and campesino, have been elected in assemblies to run as candidates at all levels of local government. The rightwing is terrified of competing with the poor in elections, and to avoid that eventuality, it is illegitimately disqualifying leftist candidates and their parties. The twentieth-century oligarchy won the presidency last November in exactly this fashion, via illicit court rulings.

Venezuela: When The Opposition Calls For ‘Free’ And ‘Fair’ Elections, What Do They Mean?

March 19, 2026 Yader Lanuza, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Bolivarian Process, Democracy, Elections, Neoliberalism, Participatory Democracy, Socialism, Venezuela

Since Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999, the US has attacked the Bolivarian Revolution in multiple ways, including through propaganda that categorize it as “authoritarian,” “unfree,” and “undemocratic.” This US propaganda assault is intended to dictate what should be done in Venezuela, including a return to “democracy,” with “free” and “fair” elections. Emboldened by the US military attack on Jan. 3rd, and relying on the US propaganda assault, the Venezuelan opposition has launched an aggressive move to seize control of the state by seeking concessions from the Bolivarian government to purportedly ensure “democracy” through “free” and “fair” elections that guarantees “equal” political participation for all political parties. But what does the opposition mean by “equality,” “fairness,” and “democracy”?

Why Labor Needs A Declaration Of Political Independence

February 19, 2026 Les Leopold, Scheer Post. Educate! Elections, Independent Politics, Labor Movement, Unions

It’s not a secret: About 45 percent of labor union members voted for Trump in 2024. In unions with fewer minority workers the percentage was substantially higher. More importantly, most union members no longer identify with the Democratic Party. In fact, they are downright hostile to it. In our YouGov poll of 3,000 voters in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, 70 percent held negative views of the Democrats. Why so much hostility? Very few respondents said anything about wokeness or immigration. Much of the bitterness was related to the Democrats failing to live up to their promises and losing touch with everyday people.

Costa Rica Deepens Alignment With US-Backed Right-Wing Forces

February 9, 2026 Jimmy Zúñiga Wallace, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! Costa Rica, Elections, Militarization, Neoliberalism, Right wing politics, US Imperialism

Costa Rica held elections on February 1, 2026, and right-wing presidential candidate Laura Fernández Delgado won decisively, exceeding the 40% threshold required to avoid a runoff. Fernández’s campaign was run almost entirely on one promise: continuing what incumbent President Rodrigo Chaves started back in 2022. Just a few days after the electoral authorities declared her the winner, Chaves appointed Fernández as his new minister of the presidency, reinforcing the idea that the newly elected government will be a continuation of the previous one.

Who Governs Honduras?

January 13, 2026 John Perry, London Review of Books. Educate! Elections, Honduras, US Regime Change, US-backed coup

Donald Trump’s attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its head of state have overshadowed his less brazen but possibly more effective regime-change operation in Honduras. No one can be sure if the National Party’s Nasry ‘Tito’ Asfura really won the presidential election on 30 November, but he was Trump’s endorsed candidate and will almost certainly assume office on 27 January. Since 2021 Honduras has had a left-wing government, headed by the Libre party’s Xiomara Castro. She revitalised a neglected public health service, reduced poverty and curbed gang violence. But presidential power in Honduras is heavily constrained.

Chile’s Failure To Bury Neoliberalism Led To Pinochetista President

Stunning, though expected, on December 14, a majority of Chileans (58 per cent to 41 per cent) elected far-right Republican Party candidate Jose Antonio Kast as president for the 2026-30 term, defeating the Communist candidate Jeannette Jara in the second round. A strong admirer of the Pinochet dictatorship, Kast is also an open supporter of Argentina’s Javier Milei and Donald Trump, and maintains close links to the Trump-affiliated Heritage Foundation. His victory presents a significant opportunity for US imperialism.

Honduras: Electoral Coup Was Unprecedented Fascist Operation

Ricardo Salgado, the Honduran secretary of Strategic Planning, said that the country suffered a new form of coup d’état following the proclamation of right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura as the president of Honduras by the two CNE councilors who belong to the Honduran bipartisan system: Ana Paola Hall García and Cossette Alejandra López. On December 24, the two aforementioned CNE officials declared Asfura the winner of the November 30 elections, without completing the special recount or resolving the challenges filed in response to the numerous irregularities reported.

The Angry Tide Has Washed Into Chile

On December 14, the predictable happened: José Antonio Kast, the candidate of the far-right Republican Party, prevailed over Jeannette Jara of the Communist Party of Chile by 58.16% to 41.84%. Kast ran as the candidate of the Cambio por Chile (Change for Chile) platform and was backed by all the parties of the traditional right and the center-right. Jara, on the other hand, was the candidate of Unidad por Chile (Unity for Chile), which comprised the parties of the center-left, including the bloc of Chile’s current president, Gabriel Boric, the Frente Amplio or Broad Front.

Honduras On The Edge: Xiomara Castro Calls For Popular Mobilization

After a five-day hiatus and more than two weeks since the elections, the Honduran National Electoral Council (CNE) has resumed counting votes in an electoral process that has been widely questioned by various political forces on the left and right in Honduras. According to the CNE, several technical problems are hindering the count. According to official data, the candidate of the National Party of Honduras (PNH), right-wing Nasry Asfura (backed, among others, by US President Donald Trump) maintains a slight but sustained lead (40.53%) over television presenter Salvador Nasralla of the Liberal Party of Honduras (PLH) (39.21%).

The Far Right Triumphs In Chile

December 15, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Educate! Chile, Elections, Fascism, Right wing politics

There was little doubt about the outcome of Chile’s second round presidential election on December 14. After receiving overwhelming support from almost the entire Chilean right (which, if you add up their vote shares in the first round, represented the vast majority), José Antonio Kast will become Chile’s next president. In the first round, Jeanette Jara narrowly took first place with 26.85%, followed closely by Kast, who won 23.93% of the valid votes, thus securing his place in the runoff. In third, fourth, and fifth place were three right-wing candidates: center-right Franco Parisi (19.71%), libertarian Johannes Kaiser (13.94%), and conservative Evelyn Matthei (12.47%).

Honduras’ LIBRE Party Calls For Election Annulment

December 10, 2025 TeleSur. Resist! Elections, Honduras, LIBRE, Right wing extremism, US-backed coup

Manuel Zelaya, General Coordinator of Freedom and Refoundation Party (LIBRE) and the opposition alliance against dictatorship, says an acta-by-acta count conducted by LIBRE shows Salvador Nasralla as the winner of the last general elections. However, these results might be nonetheless affected by what he called “electoral terrorism imposed through a manipulated TREP,” citing 26 leaked audio recordings as evidence of fraud. On that line, he denounced 3.6 million threatening messages sent to Hondurans receiving U.S. remittances and documented extortion by criminal groups, which “brutally distorted” voter intentions that had favored LIBRE candidate Rixi Moncada.
