The dramatic events in Palestine starting on October 7 have taken many people by surprise. The reason is the tendency to pay close attention to political discourses and intelligence analyses of Israel and its supporters – while largely neglecting the Palestinian discourse.
This January 1st Cuba will celebrate 65 years since the triumph of the Revolution of 1959 led by Fidel and a group of valuable men and women, for whom the gratitude of the Cuban people remains intact. This article honors that victory through three women whose lives have the Revolution as a common thread.
For decades, the EZLN has informed struggles down and up the continent. Amid climate chaos and endless war, they continue to imagine and create better worlds.
In this interview, Gabriel Rockhill dives deep into the CIA’s campaign to propagate thinly veiled imperialist and capitalist ideology through the institutions of the Western left intelligentsia—and how this state of affairs continues among intellectuals to this day.
Review of ‘The War Against the Commons: Dispossession and Resistance in the Making of Capitalism’ by Ian Angus: On how peasants fought to protect common land and resisted wage labor.
This slogan, raised at pro-Palestine demonstrations around the world, has attracted a great deal of ignorant criticism.
The question is: why have the otherwise different capitalist and socialist systems of the late 20th and early 21st centuries displayed quite similar formal democracies (apparatuses of voting) and equally similar absences of real democracy? Socialists have developed answers that entailed a significant socialist self-criticism.
The COP28 summit taking place in Dubai from 30 Nov to 12 Dec is a colossal illusion. The delusionary effect is that the capitalist system is capable of reforming itself sufficiently to prevent global climate catastrophe, even as all the evidence points to the opposite conclusion.
‘Despicable Derailment of UN Climate Negotiations’: There is nothing to suggest that COP28 will manifest anything other than another failure of the UN climate negotiations. Also: “The world’s top 1% of emitters over 1,000 times more CO2 than the bottom 1%.” – this is not from Oxfam, but the International Energy Agency.
Pan-Africanism is back. Considered in isolation, it risks becoming an empty signifier. But alongside Marxism, it becomes one of the most powerful tools for liberation that African and Afrodiasporic people have at their disposal.
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.
