Capitalist agriculture is a failure. Market fundamentalists tell us incessantly that the “magic of the market” will ensure everybody has sufficient food. But then why is it that billions of people can’t afford food? It is precisely “markets” that are behind the huge numbers of people with insufficient food.
Iranian filmmaker Taghi Amirani joins Chris Hedges to discuss his documentary ‘Coup 53,’ which uses newly discovered archival material to expose how the CIA and British intelligence worked clandestinely to overthrow Mohammad Mosaddegh 70 years ago.
Underlying forest management planning and decisions are considerations about what a forest really is. What are trees? Can they be reasonably considered to have consciousness? If there is any possibility trees have consciousness of any sort, then it brings up questions about what is justifiable to do to them in our efforts to “manage” forests.
Climate activists are closing out the hottest summer on record with hundreds of demonstrations worldwide, all blaring a unified message: “End fossil fuels.”
COVID-19, SARS, and Ebola were transmitted to humans from wild animals living in tropical forests. Destroying their habitats is killing us.
Villagers are protesting against the Ken-Betwa River Link Project, that is likely to lead to cutting down of 3 to 4 million trees and displacement of people of 21 villages. The project will be highly disastrous for the Bundelkhand region already suffering from several acute problems.
It’s essential for exploitative neocolonialism to keep resource-rich African nations from using their own resources to grow their own economies. But now the African dominoes are finally saying, “The game is over.” Is true decolonization finally on the horizon? Also: “Mass Protests Against French Troops Intensify in Niger as the Deadline for Their Withdrawal Approaches”.
“Japan’s Insane Immoral, Illegal Radioactive Dumping”. Also: “Is the Release of Radioactive Contaminated Water from the Fukushima Nuclear Site to the Sea Acceptable? Is it Safe?”
“Breaking heat records has become the norm in 2023,” said one scientist. “Global warming continues because we have not stopped burning fossil fuels. It is that simple.” Also: an article on this year’s utterly unprecedented wildfire season in Canada.
Two recent reports reveal a picture of missed targets, huge cost escalation, misconceived plans and a sense of disarray that is quite contrary to the impression that the government is efficiently going about creating essential infrastructure for the country.
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.
