Since 2020, attacks on independent media have surged, with arrests, terror and sedition cases, even as a right-wing ecosystem issues rape and death threats and discredits any narrative against official interests.
The multiple pandemics of the past decades can be linked to the expansion of agribusinesses into the global South. The consequent deforestation and unregulated industrial farming of animals have produced hotspots for pathogens to cross into humans.
In the 2001 terrorist attacks, 3,000 people were killed in a single day. The White House mobilised the entire country for the safety and wellbeing of U.S. citizens. But during the pandemic, when 500,000 people have died in a single year, the US Government is doing nothing.
Preoccupation of the world with Covid pandemic has led to less policy attention to concerns of food security and hunger. This is bad news, because globally, hunger is rising once again.
The IMF and the ICC, the self-avowed voice of big business, say that while the world economy is expected to recover in 2021, the rich countries could lose as much as $5 trillion if they don’t help vaccinate the rest of the world.
A Dual Metabolic Rupture between humanity and the planet is taking place, as industrial pollution destroys our ecosystem, and agribusiness generates wave after wave of killer pathogen. Globalised, financialised monopoly-capitalism has become an existential threat to life on Earth.
NAPM commends and extends its solidarity to the youth groups of India and Australia who have successfully organised the Global Week of Action to #StopAdani from 27 Jan to 2 Feb, 2021 under the banner YAStA (Youth Action to Stop Adani).
The ILO estimates that the Covid-19 crisis caused a loss of 8.8% of global working hours in 2020—the equivalent of 255 million full-time jobs.
Goldman Sachs is openly saying in financial reports that curing people of terrible diseases is not good for business.
The crisis of the pandemic, the economic crisis, the political crisis, and the ecological crisis all ultimately comprise a four-fold public health mega-crisis. An ancient principle of justice points to solutions for this mega-crisis of today.
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.
