“Aung San Suu Kyi, the iconic figure of Myanmarese politics, has been moved from prison to house arrest. This may seem a baby step, but make no mistake, the journey of a thousand steps begins with one step, as the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu had said,” says the author.
Last week’s Russia-Africa summit highlighted their shared interest to cooperate against Western dominance. While Moscow leads the fight, Africans are eager to play a role in shaping the new multipolar order.

Indonesia boasts some of the world’s richest mineral deposits, but it has long focused on digging them up and shipping them to other countries for processing. The government in Jakarta is now trying to change that, but is facing fierce resistance from the West.
The proxy war in Ukraine is designed to serve U.S. interests. It enriches the weapons manufacturers, weakens the Russian military and isolates Russia from Europe. What happens to Ukraine is irrelevant.

Yet in reality, nearly half-a-million people were living within a 150-mile radius of the explosion. All of them have been suffering from the effects of radiation ever since.
Climate change protesters in Europe have been actively raising awareness and demanding urgent action from governments and corporations to address the escalating climate crisis.

We survey the crisscrossing of classes across moments in the production and the circulation of the surplus. A unifying thread is proposed in finance capital.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
