This week on The Line, we ask why anti-imperialism needs to be understood not as an optional strand of left politics, but as a central part of any serious project to build a transformative left.

Key themes:

  • How war, extraction, economic power and global inequality are intertwined with capitalism

  • Why anti-imperialism isn’t simply about how a government conducts foreign policy, but also about migration, trade, resources, environment, borders and the distribution of wealth and power

  • The difficulties created when “progressive” politics opposes injustice at home while failing to confront the interventions of Western states abroad

  • Building solidarity: what genuine internationalism means in practice, and how movements can build relationships across borders rather than treating international struggles as secondary concerns
