Syngenta Group, Bayer, BASF and Corteva control half of the world’s commercial seeds and 62% of the world’s pesticide market. Similarly, four companies control 44% of the global market in farm machinery.
Guinea has the world’s largest reserves of bauxite and is the second-largest producer (after Australia) of the essential mineral for aluminum. All the mining is controlled by MNCs.
While we may not be around to watch our children enjoy or squander what we saved, nature’s wrath will prove to be more or less instant.
Bad loan problems at state-run banks have so far been resolved through massive taxpayer-funded bailouts. There must be a revaluation of a broken credit culture that virtually protects big borrowers.
Bolsonaro is arguably even crazier than Donald Trump. He mishandled the COVID situation even worse than Trump, and he and his allies are up to their eyeballs in corruption. Yet he came within 2% of Lula? Given the amount of support the far-right politics has, what does it mean for the future of Brazil?
Japhace talks about the crippling influence of international capital on the continent, resource nationalism, and the need for Africa to break its dependence from foreign direct investment and technology and to harness its own resources.

Past annual Global Rights Index reports issued by the International Trade Union Confederation have invariably shown that there is no country on Earth that fully protects workers’ rights and the 2022 edition is not only not an exception but finds that repression of labor organizing is increasing.
92% of the climate catastrophe engulfing the planet is caused by Global North, backed by the massive imperial army of NATO, that overthrows governments and brutally sanctions entire peoples who refuse to bow down. The climate movement in the Global North needs to realise this and embrace a path of international solidarity.
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.
