In this interview, world-renowned public intellectual Noam Chomsky delves into the phenomenon of irrational political panics in the U.S., with an emphasis on current developments on the foreign policy front — and the dangers of seeking to maintain global hegemony in a multipolar world.
The Biden administration did not end the Afghan war, but continued it by other means, which are turning out to be more violent and destabilizing. The economic sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies are causing widespread, severe hunger in this desperately poor country.
A new draft agreement between Argentina and the International Monetary Fund has eschewed austerity. It will allow the Argentine economy to grow while the government continues its efforts to reduce poverty and gradually bring down inflation.
The anti–Vietnam War movement cut across the civilian-military divide, with active-duty soldiers abroad and stateside defying their commanders and refusing to fight. Those soldiers played a key role in bringing the brutal war to an end.
To understand the origins of the New Cold War and the onset of the current Russian entry into the Ukrainian civil war, it is necessary to go back to decisions associated with the creation of the New World Order made in Washington when the previous Cold War ended with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
News has appeared that Ukrainian President Zelensky has conceded that he is willing to concede to the Russian demand that his country will not seek to become a member of NATO. If it is so easy to work out a compromise over Russia’s legitimate security demands, why was Biden so very stubborn in his refusal to even discuss it, given the urgency of the matter?
Considering the public media attention and concern about possible expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), this article is a timely reminder about NATO’s bloody history in Africa.
Despite the horrific bombing campaign against Yemeni civilians, Saudi Arabia’s human rights violations and war crimes have garnered nowhere near the level of coverage and sympathy that the mainstream Western media has rightfully given to Ukraine.
The U.S. government seeks to bring Assange to the U.S. to be tried under the Espionage Act for soliciting, obtaining, and then publishing classified information–in other words, precisely the work of an investigative journalist. It is journalism, therefore, that Assange is being prosecuted for.
The Military Intelligence Industrial Complex of the USA are serial murderers of our own citizens. They performed hundreds of experiments on unsuspecting Americans, and yet no one went to prison, and the organizations responsible continue to enjoy budgets of hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
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.
