About Us

As Anti-Imperialist Network, we aim to build a global hub for anti-imperialist activists to connect, learn, share tactics and ideas, and offer concrete support for liberation movements and groups in the Global South. Our primary practical focuses are:

  1. To produce and distribute high-quality media that analyzes how imperialism operates, documents its crimes, and amplifies the struggles of the Global South. 
  2. To conduct solidarity work with liberation movements and groups in the Global South, whether it is through providing material resources and aid or sharing skills and knowledge.

Points of Unity

  1. The principal contradiction of our world is that between the exploited nations and the exploiters in the imperial core – imperialism. 
  2. The underdevelopment of the exploited nations was and is the dialectical necessity for the development of the exploiters.
  3. Capitalism has always been a global, racialized system – primitive accumulation could not have occurred without genocide, enslavement, and ecocide.
  4. Imperialism creates a stratification that rewards some proletarians as settlers and/or citizens, thus forming a labor aristocracy.
  5. The labor aristocracy’s wages and incorporation into the nation-state allow them to benefit from the exploitation of the low-waged labor of the exploited nations, intensifying imperialism in the form of Unequal Exchange.
  6. Unequal Exchange precludes the universality and internationalism of the proletariat, and hinders the solidarity of the “workers of the world”.
  7. Imperialism manifests itself in a variety of other ways today, in sanctions regimes, indebtedness, military intervention, nuclear aggression, extractivism, and other forms.
  8. Capitalism cannot be defeated globally while imperialism persists – without anti-imperialism, efforts at socialism in the exploiting nations can only produce social imperialism.
  9. The obligation of revolutionaries today is to challenge imperialism by any means necessary. In the exploiting nations, that primarily means acting in solidarity with anti-imperialist movements in the exploited nations. 
  10. Solidarity cannot be simply symbolic; it must be material; it must be something we can hold in our hands.
