On his birth anniversary, a look at a short essay by George Orwell which anticipated the clever narratives future dictators up until our times would weave assiduously.
Despite continuing to be the object of strong US interference and coup attempts, Nicaragua is resisting with all the contradictions the situation implies, continuing to scare the oligarchy out of its wits: a discussion with journalist Fabrizio Casari.
Joe Biden has been participating in several international meetings covering a wide range of issues but with one key goal in mind: intensify the new Cold War with China and construct a global front towards this end. After a communique issued by a NATO summit, China finally responded to this campaign.
Neoliberalism has yielded specific forms of state intervention to discipline and normalize the surplus population and to regulate social insecurity – workfare, debtfare, and prisonfare. They have also enormously benefited the growth and profitability of Big Tech.
In the first part of this three part article, the authors discuss the evolution of the external debt of developing countries between 2000 and 2018.
Ben Roberts-Smith, an Australian veteran of the war in Afghanistan, has launched legal action against journalists for reporting that he murdered six Afghan prisoners of war in 2009 and 2012—and revelled in their killing. At the heart of the case is an attempt to whitewash and rehabilitate the very concept of imperialist war.
James Baldwin’s thoughts on his nephew’s future (in the USA)—in a country with a terrible history of racism— first appeared in The Progressive magazine in 1962. Over 50 years later his words are, sadly, more relevant than ever.
On the birth anniversary of Che Guevara, a recollection of the volcanic strength Ernesto Guevara carried within, already evident in the young man who met Fidel in Mexico.
Race and gender alone are insufficient to explain the results of the recent Presidential elections. Another variable of power is needed that very rarely appears in the treatment of U.S. political life: social class.
China is the world leader in high-speed rail development, sporting more than 35,000 km of high-speed rail, or 68 percent of the world’s total. US think-tanks are criticising China’s rail policies saying that they damage “innovation” by privileging domestic market development and state-owned enterprises over private corporations.
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.
