It is insulting for Israelis to launch this “democracy” movement when Palestinians have been ignored for decades. If the United States truly wants to spread democracy around the world, we must stop funding such blatant human rights violations. You simply cannot have it both ways.
France has reached a new stage with the 2023 demonstrations. Some are comparing the present situation to 1968. The difference between 1968 and 2023 is that today there are no vanguard parties like the left in 1968, that ultimately betrayed the struggle. The other difference is that …
Thousands of people took to the streets in Nairobi again this week to protest the government of President William Ruto. The protests have been called for by opposition leader Raila Odinga, who has tapped into public anger against rising costs of living.
Contrasting images come to mind when it comes to hunger and climate: a world in which a child under age ten dies of hunger every five seconds and the oligarchs of agri-food and finance decide every day who on this planet will die and who will live. This article is about loss of both morality and of thinking.
For decades, the U.S. dollar was the undisputed king of global currencies, but now dramatic changes are happening. Much of the planet is preparing for a future in which the U.S. dollar will be far less important than it is right now.

It’s Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin that are now running the multilateral, multipolar show.
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.
