MONTHLY REVIEW MAGAZINE: The latest issue features the United States as the world’s chief enemy of sovereign elections.

Citing Dov Levin’s research, it counts 128 U.S. interventions in foreign elections from 1946 to 2014, rising after the Cold War, increasingly overt, and successful about 60 percent of the time before 2000. Methods include funding right-wing campaigns, dirty tricks, lawfare, social-media bots, aid threats, and CIA surrogates posing as “democracy assistance” groups. Recent examples include Venezuela, ending in Maduro’s abduction; $20 billion tied to electing Milei’s allies in Argentina; and Honduras, where Trump declared Asfura the winner. Leaked “Hondurasgate” tapes exposed regional manipulation schemes.

Nietzsche’s French Legacy

The Poverty of Left Nietzscheanism by Aymeric Monville

MR is pleased to be able to share with readers Gabriel Rockhill’s Introduction to The Poverty of Left Nietzscheanism by Aymeric Monville (Iskra Books, 2026). Rockhill provides readers with a thorough account of the rehabilitation of Nietzsche within French Theory and its consequences within the non-communist left. Fascism, Rockhill argues, “can only be understood and contested through materialist analysis and anticapitalist praxis”—a fitting preamble to a book that acts as “an insightful indictment of the dominant capitalist ideologies while clearly articulating the political path forward.”
