‘People Mobilize Against DOGE Cuts to Education, Social Security, Medicare and More’; ‘Sanders, AOC Draw Biggest Crowd of Their Careers at Rally to Fight ‘Oligarchy’ in Denver’; ‘Veterans “Act Now Keep Democracy Alive and Well”’.
‘Revolt of the Rich: Wealthy Elites have Waged a Fifty Year Class War—and Won’: The 2024 election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump makes clear that the U.S. has two right-wing parties and no effective left-wing opposition. Also: ‘Oxfam Says World Ruled by “Aristocratic Oligarchy,” as Billionaire Wealth Surges by $2 Trillion’.
The United States has 16.49% of the votes on the IMF’s board despite representing only 4.22% of the world population. Since the IMF’s Articles of Agreement require 85% of the votes to make any changes, the US has veto power over the decisions of the IMF.
The author examines South Africa’s Expropriation Act—presented as legal reform yet bound by legal bureaucracy, market interests, and political hesitation. Does it offer real redress, or is justice once again deferred?
The United States calls Cuba’s medical internationalism “human trafficking” — but it’s really an internationalist lifeline for the Global South.
In his address to Congress, President Trump ignored the concerns of working people, boasted about his billionaire-run government, and doubled down on the tariffs that economists say may trigger another Great Depression. In a response, Bernie Sanders says while the fight for a progressive future may feel hopeless, “despair is not an option”.
In a veritable blitzkrieg, the Trumpist fascists have changed U.S. and global society irrevocably in a matter of weeks. We need a leftwing network of resistance to Trumpist fascism that, while firmly anti-capitalist, avoids the pitfalls of both campism and class reductionism.
Drawing on recent data on Africa’s material resource use, the authors show how during the 1980s-90s, structural adjustment programmes led to a significant increase in ‘unequal ecological exchange’, a process whereby African countries were compelled to export more materials, energy and other resources than they received in imports.
In Germany’s special election on Sunday, seven months earlier than the normal date because the trio-run government collapsed, there were 29 parties on the long paper ballots. But only 7 had a chance to retain their presence in the Bundestag. The final count: 3 wins, 4 losses.
‘Adieu: Africa’s Military Breakup with France is Official’; ‘French Neocolonialism in Africa Reorganizing Under the Cover of Retreat’; ‘Sahel Alliance Unveils New Flag as Regional Bloc Moves Toward Greater Integration’; and: ‘Canada Suffers Economic Losses as Burkina Faso Nationalises Land, Revokes Mining Permits’.
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.
