The Marcos victory was largely a democratic outcome in the narrow electoral sense. The challenge for progressives is to understand why a runaway majority of the Philippine electorate voted to bring an unrepentant, thieving family back to power after 36 years.
A Sri Lankan delegation will travel to Washington next week to try to secure up to $4 billion from the IMF to help the island nation pay for food and fuel imports as well as stem defaults on its debt. Eric Toussaint highlights the potential risks of an IMF bailout.

In India, the farmers organised the world’s largest strike in history; at Amazon, the workers are fiercely resisting its exploitation; in Latin America, the people are rallying to support progressive political leaders. But it’s not enough to just resist. We have to build a new world brimming with life, and powered by popular sovereignty.
Russia is practising a warfare that the West is not used to — where wars aren’t won anymore. It is highly unlikely that there will be a ceremonial occasion bringing the Ukraine war to an end.
Many African migrants and refugees see crossing the Mediterranean Sea as the only chance for a better life. Sally Hayden tells their harrowing stories in ‘My Fourth Time, We Drowned’.
NATO framed its intervention in the Yugoslav wars as “humanitarian”, but their bombings and declaration of a “no-fly zone” resulted in the death of countless civilians.
India and China stand to gain the most out of Russia’s quest for new markets. Russia has offered discounted prices to them and payment systems in local currencies. However, India and China’s response present a study in contrast.

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.
