Gramsci In The Midst Of Brazil’s Landless Workers’ Movement

Despite the persistent hegemony of capitalism and its ruling neoliberal ideology, various forms of resistance, social struggle, and proposals for an emancipated future continue to emerge. This is taking place in the face of economic, political, social, and environmental crises as well as a continuing lack of vision of how to overcome the health crisis. Our intellectuals must put their hearts and souls precisely into this orientation toward the future, one based on the possibility of change and hope for human emancipation, as we argued in Tricontinental: Institute for Social Resear... read more

The anti-meat propaganda war is dialing up

We've discussed on several occasions how the World Economic Forum's "Build Back Better" initiative includes discouraging the use of meat, instead encouraging us to eat insects and their byproducts. It's noteworthy that many W.E.F. advocates (take a bow, Bill Gates) are investing in insect processing plants to produce such food . . . and in farmland, where they can grow something rather tastier for themselves and their "woke" cronies. As part of that effort, we're seeing anti-meat and pro-insect propaganda articles and programming spreading throughout the news media and social ... read more

Ukraine Uses Russian Invasion To Wreck Workers’ Rights

The Ukrainian parliament has passed two new radical measures on labour liberalisation, prompting fears of Ukrainians losing workplace rights permanently as Russia’s war puts huge pressure on the country’s economy.

The latter measure means the national labour code no longer applies to employees of small- and medium-sized enterprises; instead, it is proposed that each wor... read more
