While everyone is talking of the desperate situation of the Afghani people under the dictatorial Taliban, almost no one talks about the effort the Afghan people made in the late 1970s and ’80s to pull free of the legacy of incessantly warring tribes and feudal fiefdoms and start to build a modern democratic state.
A new Balkan left is struggling against the post-socialist predicament, the disasters of capitalist restoration and the chronic crises that plague the European periphery.
Up to now, the US has suffered over 617,000 deaths; China in contrast has suffered fewer than 5,000 deaths in a population four times as large as the US. Could there not be some lessons that might serve us in the West now and in the future?
While India has played a crucial role in bringing the TRIPS waiver proposal to the WTO in October 2020, concerns have been expressed on India’s commitment to the waiver proposal. That is because of Indian government’s stated policy announcements on these matters at home.
The United States has the biggest, most efficiently organized, most effective system for recruiting child soldiers in the world. With uncharacteristic modesty, however, the Pentagon doesn’t call it that. Its term is “youth development program.”

Success of the U.S. in its hybrid war against Cuba would be a huge step forward for the U.S. in its fight against national independence in Latin America and the world, and in the new cold war against China. And hence the situation in Cuba is the key to the situation in Latin America today.
A flagship commune in Venezuela responds to the US blockade by diversifying its production.
When I proclaim a belief in democracy, I mean the right to truly participate in the creation of our world. If it weren’t for democracy, we could easily be an undivided nation — united, with a shrug, in our acceptance of slavery, or at least in the necessity of whites-only drinking fountains.
The world’s governments refuse to learn from the Hiroshima tragedy, and their nuclear policies are pushing the world towards a nuclear war. The nine nuclear nations today have an arsenal of 14,500 nuclear weapons. A nuclear war would destroy life on earth.
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.
