‘European Militarism on Steroids is Not Good, Either’: Lacking in any strategic thinking, a new bellicism has swept up the elites and gone into cataclysmic overdrive in recent weeks. Also: ‘Preventing Peace’.
From weapons and trade to logistics and espionage, Persian Gulf monarchies are quietly underwriting the occupation state’s war on Gaza and its broader regional aggressions.
In a typically brilliant work of conjectural analysis Valério Arcary, the legendary Marxist historian who broke from the Workers Party (PT) in 1994, warns Brazilian radicals from repeating errors of the past, which transformed some of them into useful idiots for regime change during the long coup years of 2013-18.
‘Students Protest Continue in Indonesia’: Over the last several weeks, demonstrations have erupted across Indonesia. The government has been downplaying the unrest, yet it is unable to ignore the uprising. Also: ‘International Solidarity Call by Indonesian Activists’.
Alejandra Laprea, a feminist activist of Venezuela, discusses the evolution of popular feminism, the challenges posed by the global conservative backlash, the economic blockade and its impact on women, and the urgent tasks ahead for feminists within the Bolivarian Revolution. Also: ‘Venezuela: 1,600 Women Discuss “Communal Feminism” at First National Gathering’.
Just like Tom Paine, and until the very end, Bob saw hope in the people who were rising up and demanding a future defined by their humanity, as opposed to corporate power.
‘Sukhdev Thapar: The Shadowed Intellectual of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association’; ‘Comrade Bhagat Singh, in This India, You Too Would Likely be Branded an Anti-National’.
Part A: In 2018, the Niti Aayog came up with new guidelines for allocation of dedicated funds within each Ministry / Department for the welfare of SC/ST communities. This article compares these guidelines with the actual allocations. Part B: The Minorities Budget – shocking cuts.
Why is the government not willing to increase its social sector expenditures — despite the country facing an ‘unemployment, poverty and hunger emergency’? Does it not have the money?
‘Trump’s MAGA and Deregulation’: Trump sees the United States as just a big capitalist corporation of which he is chief executive. But the institutions of the State are a hindrance. So Congress, courts, State governments, etc are to be ignored and/or told to carry out the instructions of the CEO. Also: ‘Imperialism’s Revival Strategy’.
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.
