‘The Legacy of the Progressive Writer’s Association Needs to be Reclaimed’: Reviving the PWA’s activist legacy requires reconnecting art and literature to real struggles, confronting injustice, and defending truth, resistance and solidarity. Also: ‘Urdu Poet Josh Malihabadi (1898-1982) was a Fiery Voice of Freedom’.
‘Why U.S. Action in the Western Hemisphere Now?’: Progressives must stand and fight against brutal and inhumane U.S. border policies and the establishment of concentration camps. Also: ‘Understanding the U.S.’s New National Security Strategy’.
China’s newly released White Paper, “China’s Arms Control, Disarmament, and Nonproliferation in the New Era,” is not simply a catalogue of policies. It is a strategic text that reveals how Beijing intends to shape the governance of the domains that will define global security in the decades ahead.
I stare blankly at the news. Little men with guns once again stir the country – the world – into a state of shock and grief and chaos. Attention: Every last one of us is vulnerable to being eliminated… randomly.
‘Pinochetism Returns to Power in Chile’; and: ‘Chile Swerves to the Right and into the Past’: How well the Chilean opposition responds to this sobering defeat will determine whether Mr. Kast truly represents an ominous swerve toward the world’s current desolate panorama of would-be dictators, or whether he proves a mere parenthetical in Chile’s erratic but perpetual advance toward freedom and justice.
When peace is demanded from the weak and defined by the strong, it ceases to be peace at all – it becomes submission disguised as justice.
As governments weaken environmental protections to promote new mining projects, the global scramble for critical minerals is deepening social divides and harming vital ecosystems. Only reduced consumption and robust, enforceable rules can prevent long-term harm and protect basic human rights.
‘Bangladesh’s Liberation Under Siege’: As Bangladesh marks the victory of its 1971 liberation, the secular, socialist foundations of the nation’s birth are under assault by the convergence of US geopolitical interests with religious fundamentalism. Also: ‘Is This the Bangladesh We Wanted?’.
After 40 years of struggle, Brazil’s Landless Workers’ Movement is now at nearly two million members and taking center stage in the fight for democracy and equality. It has done that by flying the most unlikely militant banner of all: organic food.
‘Mali Defends Sovereignty Against a Western-Backed “Proxy War” by Terror Groups’: As doomsaying Western media reports prophesy the fall of Mali to an Al Qaeda affiliate attacking fuel convoys, the government has re-secured supply routes and hosted Mali’s first international defense expo in a supposedly besieged capital. Also: ‘Mali Holds Firm: West Eyes New Front to Sabotage Sahel Independence’.
