The 2009 coup in Honduras is responsible for the deepening of the crisis and social, economic, and political chaos in the country. But today, we have an alternative: the LIBRE Party and our candidate Xiomara Castro. She is the only candidate with a plan with a social and humanistic approach.
Since the 1979 Sandinista revolution, the living conditions for women have drastically improved, successes which even the period of neoliberal rule (1990-2006) couldn’t completely overturn. Their material and social position has further strengthened during the second Sandinista period from 2007 until today.
The widespread view on the left that Marx had adopted an extreme productivist view of the human domination of nature—and hence had failed to perceive the natural limits to production and ecological contradictions in general, was contradicted by his theory of the metabolic rift.
If the US Congress imposes a minimal financial transaction tax, that would generate $2.4T in revenue. It would pay for both the new spending proposals in the Infrastructure bill ($.55T) as well as the Build Back Better bill proposal still on the negotiating table ($1.9T)
Millions of Americans are quitting their jobs – because they have had enough. The resignations ought to be viewed hand in hand with another powerful current: a growing willingness by unionized workers to go on strike.
There is nothing the West hates more than an Arab leader who opposes imperialism, Zionism and wants his country, and other Arab and African countries, to be self-sufficient. That is why NATO murdered Gaddafi.
In 2004, the US launched a whole new strategy of financial war, with the creation of the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, to utilise Washington’s financial leverage, based on the global domination of the U.S. dollar, to cut off the economic circulation of targeted states.
The process of seeking justice for the victims of Nazism has been long and difficult, but at least it’s still pursued. The process of seeking justice for the victims of Powell, Rumsfeld and other architects of the Iraq war that led to deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis hasn’t even begun.
There was no heroic adventure in Columbus’ expedition to the Americas, only bloodshed. Columbus Day should not be a celebration.
After economic warfare, cyber warfare, information warfare, etc. against its adversaries, NATO is now working on a new kind of combat it has branded cognitive warfare. It involves exploiting “the vulnerabilities of the human brain” in order to implement more sophisticated “social engineering.”
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.
