A review of John Smith’s Imperialism in the 21st Century. This “powerful and searing indictment of the exploitation of billions of people,” argues that “the huge low wage proletariat that has emerged in the last 30 years is the key to the profits of imperialism.”
The current turbulence signified an abortive attempt at colour revolution in Kazakhstan, which boomeranged. CSTO forces, led by a tough seasoned general, quickly moved in to protect “strategic assets”. Presumably, such assets will include Pentagon-funded labs in Kazakhstan.
On Sept 20, 2001, President Bush declared a “war on terror”. It has meant a 20-year slide to defeat in Afghanistan, a proliferation of militant groups across the Middle East and Africa, and a world-spanning war that has killed about 300 times the number of people murdered in America on 9/11.
During the 21st century, the US rulers have turned to a new coup strategy, relying on soft coups, a significant change from the notoriously brutal military hard coups in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and other countries in the 1970s. A list of 27 US-backed coups in the first 21 years of this century.
As we come upon the first anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection, it is tempting to give in to despair about collective White violence, impunity, and criminal activity yet again going unpunished. A study found a whopping 21 million Americans share the values of the insurrectionists.
The eKhenana occupation in Cato Manor, Durban, is a significant site in the struggle for a South Africa that respects the humanity of all.
One of the most forceful voices defending the rights of the Guatemalan indigenous population has been Rigoberta Menchú. Born to a poor indigenous family from El Quiché, a rural area in north-central Guatemala, her activism won her international recognition.
In this third and final part on the Che Guevara Commune of Venezuela, a look at the Commune’s efforts to provide social assistance to the community at a time when US imposed sanctions are interfering with educational and health services in the country.
For those who believe Africa was decolonized decades ago, it’s time to wake up from dream-world. With the help of groups like the CIA, Europe and USA covertly recolonized the continent, with bribes, murders, loans, privatizations and the installation of western-friendly regimes.
The balance between the US drive to dominate its “backyard” and its counterpart, the Bolivarian cause of regional independence and integration, continued to tip portside in 2021 with major popular electoral victories in Chile, Honduras, and Peru.
