In this episode of Power Players, Sibylline’s Senior Editor, Leo Collins, explores the evolution of BRICS from an economic concept into a growing geopolitical counterweight to the Western-led order.

Leo unpacks the bloc’s expansion, its push towards local currency trade and sanction-resistant financial infrastructure, and the strategic importance of its growing membership across key regions and trade routes.

In this episode of Sibylline’s Power Players series, Intelligence Analyst James Barett examines Antifa — a decentralised, global anti-fascist movement active across the United States and Europe. Emerging prominently during the wave of anti-fascist mobilisation around the 2017 Charlottesville protests, Antifa has developed as a loose network of regional cells rather than a single organised group.

James explores the movement’s core ideology, rooted primarily in opposition to fascism but often intersecting with broader critiques of capitalism and globalisation. The episode breaks down how Antifa groups organise and coordinate actions, from mass demonstrations and counter-protests to digital mobilisation and online campaigns. Finally, James considers what lies ahead, assessing how Antifa is likely to continue shaping protest dynamics and political activism across the US and Europe.
