Film review: Oppenheimer

While the USA continues to trumpet itself as the home of free speech, this is only allowed so long as what is said poses no threat to imperialist domination at home and abroad. Lalkar writers Subscribe to our  channel Despite a focus on individuals and a lack of awareness of classes and class struggle, this film does an unintended service to the truth in vividly portraying one incident in the history of the working-class movement in the USA; a moment that saw the birth of the ‘cold war’ that the USA waged with unremitting fervour against the USSR until the latter’s fall in December 1991. Oppenheimer, directed and written by Christopher Nolan, currently on release and the subject of much publicity and hype, is well worth seeing on many levels. A fascinating story, fil...

Women in the victory over fascism

Without the brave and tireless efforts of women across the USSR and Europe, vanquishing the enemy would have been impossible. Raúl Antonio Capote Subscribe to our  channel Maria Oktiabrskaya, born in Crimea, was the first woman in the world to be a member of a tank crew.

Belt and Road envy dominates G20 summit

US imperialism’s latest attempt to counter Russia and China underlines the shifting balance of world forces. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel The USA has announced yet another grand plan to counter the rapid growth of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, but past experience indicates that very little is likely to materialise beyond press releases about ‘digital green futures’ and expensive feasibility reports. Meanwhile, the Belt and Road continues to deliver real infrastructure and real development to countries where its construction is ongoing. With Russia not invited to the party and Xi Jinping declining the invitation, the once-mighty G20 circus that pitched up in Delhi from 9 to 13 September, whilst still pulling in the massed ranks...

How China is developing mass involvement in local governance

The CPC is working at the local level to build social cohesion and stability, deepening its connections with the people. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel Our party delegates visited a new housing estate in Guizhou province to see in practice some of the ways in which Chinese people are encouraged to take part in running and improving their own communities. Inset photos show the lily pond at the heart of the estate and a tai chi class run by and for local residents. Since the election of Xi Jinping as leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 2012, considerable efforts have been made to overcome the inequalities caused by the policy of reform and opening up (the reintroduction of the market to China’s economy) that was ...

The Madness of America (Redux): Reversals, Trump, Mind Structure — Why the Law Matters

BY JENNIFER VAN BERGEN Photo by Thiébaud Faix Just over twenty years ago, I wrote an article with the same title as above. In that piece, which can be viewed here and was written when George W. Bush was president, I noted that our society has been infected with a “disease of reversals.” I provided some examples in the article. The reversals have continued since GW to the point now where an entire party — the GOP — has adopted opposites as a mainstay. Trump, who has engaged his entire life in grift, fraud, and theft, is their man. The “radical left” has “weaponized” the law and the judiciary (even while Trump used the DOJ as his personal lawyer and then engaged in an alleged conspiracy to overturn the election). “They” want to rob “us” of our “freedoms” — e...

Bidenomics: Millions to Rebuild Maui, Billions for Ukraine

BY EVE OTTENBERG Last month, President Joe “No Comment on Hawaii” Biden’s Twitter boosters hurried to claim that the measly $700 he initially boasted of for Maui fire victims was but the first installment of more generous help to come. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and even with Biden’s added ingredients, the pudding’s comparatively pretty thin and watery. On August 30, Biden pledged $95 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to aid Mauli’s rebuilding. It remains to see how far that goes – thousands of homes burnt to the ground. With an average home price in the most affected area, Lahaina, coming in at a cool million dollars, Biden’s promised bonanza, made after his disastrous hegira to Hawaii, may not stretch far. Meanwhile, the Biden bunch showers bil...

The Strategic Nightmare That Follows the “Forever War”

BY MELVIN GOODMAN Photograph Source: Chic Bee – CC BY 2.0 One of these days, the “forever war” between Russia and Ukraine will be over, and the serious challenge of dealing with the strategic triangularity of the United States, Russia, and China will begin.  The Biden administration has complicated this task by pursuing a strategy of “dual containment,” believing that the United States can “contain” both Russia and China.  Unlike the Soviet Union of the Cold War era, China cannot be “contained.”  It is a global economic and political power as well as a formidable military power in the Indo-Pacific region. The various pipe dreams of the United States are major obstacles to dealing rationally with the strategic triangle.  The U.S. belief in huge defense...

Global Warming Did The Unthinkable

BY ROBERT HUNZIKER Image by NOAA. Jungfraujoch’s foreboding temperatures this September at the top of the world in Switzerland at 2.25 miles altitude alarmed glaciologists. If anybody has lingering doubts about global warming’s strength of power to directly impact Earth’s ecosystems, think again. Antarctica, at the bottom of the world, experienced record high temperatures during its winter, as record high temperatures were also recorded at the top of the world in the Swiss Alps, where it’s always icy cold. As it happened, both the top and the bottom of the world hit record high temperatures, simultaneously, give or take a few days. There’s no known record of this ever happening before. It’s proof positive that global warming is powerfully impacting the entire planet, simul...

The South China Sea’s Resource Wars: It’s Not Only About Fossil Fuels

BY JOSHUA FRANK Photo: US Navy / Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jason Tarleton It’s an ocean of conflict and ecological decline. Despite its vast size — 1.3 million square miles — the South China Sea has become a microcosm of the geopolitical tensions between East and West, where territorial struggles over abundant natural resources may one day lead to war and environmental collapse. While the threat of a devastating military conflict between China and the United States in the region still looms, the South China Sea has already experienced irreparable damage. Decades of over-harvesting have, for instance, had a disastrous impact on that sea’s once-flourishing fish. The tuna, mackerel, and shark populations have fallen to 50% of their 1960s levels. Biol...
