A wave of unionization in the United States is enthusing and inspiring workers all around the world. The crisis of capitalism is crushing workers, and they are beginning to fight back. They increasingly understand that they can rely only on their own means.
Anganwadi staff are vital to ensuring the wellbeing of India’s children. Yet in 2006, the Supreme Court refused to recognise them as government employees.
It will be a disservice to Ambedkar and to his intellectual oeuvre if we neglect the fundamental questions of caste and untouchability, and applaud him as an abstract national hero. Remembering Ambedkar demands that we advance the struggle to annihilate caste.
Forty years of struggle by Brazil’s landless workers movement offers lessons on engaging the system without being co-opted.
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ remarks on the floor of the U.S. Senate on the growing labor movement in the United States following two major victories at an Amazon warehouse on Staten Island and a Starbucks roastery in New York City.

There is a pervasive view that growth under capitalism, though it may worsen poverty, even absolute poverty, to start with, eventually leads to a lowering of poverty. The experience of the English Industrial Revolution is invoked in this context. This entire view however is a myth.

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.
