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.”
In the creation of capitalist, globalized food systems, patterns of structural inequality based on social class hierarchies and racism become ever more apparent and problematic. This article discusses these conditions, from the perspective of the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.

Report from Nicaragua on the 42nd anniversary of the Sandinista revolution. Nicaraguans discuss their improved quality of life. President Ortega condemns the dictatorial US “empire that wants to dominate all countries”.
Socialism for the twenty-first century is not a statist society where decisions are top-down and where all initiative is the property of state office-holders or cadres of self-reproducing vanguards. It rejects a state that stands over and above society and squeezes “the living civil society like a boa constrictor”.
From its apprenticeship days in Gandhinagar, the Modi crowd has had a fascination for unorthodox policemen and their unconventional – and often unlawful – repertoire of tricks and treats.
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.
