On the National Register of Citizens

Radical Socialist — 2018-08-29T17:22:46Z

The publication of the draft National Register of Citizens in Assam has been a major political gain for the BJP and its agenda of politically dividing the oppressed and exploited on the basis of religious identities, in this case by harnessing it to linguistic ethnic identity strife.

Chronicle of a green day in Buenos Aires

Camila Baron, Gabriela Mitidieri — 2018-08-29T07:51:53Z

What happened on August 8th? [1] Still our bodies feel the onslaught of so many arduous days, the swirling sensations and emotions that we experienced during these final hours of waiting, anxiety and organization. Our historic demand crossed borders, entered every house, in every work place, overflowed the streets, permeated all the spaces but could not overcome the stultifying conservatism of the Senate.

Yemen's turn

Tariq Ali — 2018-08-25T07:06:57Z

Some general characteristics of the imperialist recolonization of the Arab world, which began with that brutal dress-rehearsal, the First Gulf War of 1991, are now clearly visible. Too many people supposed that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US eagle would discard its talons; because they wanted it to be so, they thought it was.

Building the movement of the working class and the dispossessed

Amandla! — 2018-08-24T06:33:31Z

South Africa is becoming more impoverished day by day. Stats SA's latest figures show unemployment increasing by 0.5 to 37.2. (We don't bother with the smaller figure of 27.2 that gets all the publicity. Would you say to the face of one of the 2,864,000 “discouraged work seekers” that they are not unemployed because they have given up looking for work?) at 37.2 is one of the highest rates of unemployment in the world!
