Piloting a series of substantial policy changes a little more than one week into her mandate, Honduras’ President Xiomara Castro has already established herself as a firm Latin American leader. In the process, she has brought hope and happiness to the Honduran people.
When studying history, we must always remember that it is the victors that write history. It is the duty, therefore, of every socialist to tell it like it was, and is, at every opportunity. In the battle of ideas that we wage against the ruling class, we must not concede them one inch in interpreting the past.
Now that Chile is about to inaugurate a president who is a fierce champion of human rights, it is time to memorialize victims of the Pinochet dictatorship – maybe then Kast, an ultra-right admirer of the Pinochet dictatorship, would have less support.
Over the past 20 years, U.S. and allied air forces have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles on other countries. That is an average of 46 strikes per day for 20 years.
In America today if you poison and kill your wife to make $150,000 in life insurance money, you’ll probably end up in prison. But if you poison and kill hundreds of thousands of people so you can take home a multi-million-dollar paycheck, you get to buy a new yacht.
In October 2021, the United Nations Development Programme released a report that received barely any attention: the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2021. The report found that 1.3 billion – one in five people – live in multidimensional poverty.
Putin and Xi have agreed to create an “independent financial structure for trade operations that could not be influenced by other countries.” This may be announced by a joint summit before the end of 2022. This is a stunning game-changer in more ways than one.
President Ortega of Nicaragua has demonstrated through his continued victories, and through his forming of new alliances with countries like China, that times have changed; that it is now the US, with its crumbling empire, which must watch on the sidelines as countries like tiny Nicaragua chart their own futures.
Not only has Cuba succeeded in vaccinating 93% of its population, including children – a figure more than most developed countries – with its indigenously developed vaccines, it has also started sending these vaccines to other countries that have approved them.
The biggest culprit for rising prices that’s not being talked about is the increasing economic concentration of the American economy in the hands of a relative few giant big corporations with the power to raise prices.
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.
