The resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan is presented as the first achievement of a wider democratic movement led by the Cockroach Janata Party, with support from students, youth, civil society and citizens. The article argues that meaningful change cannot end with a minister’s departure but must continue through institutional reforms, public accountability and constitutional dialogue. It reflects on the historical role of student movements in shaping democratic change and contends that lasting success will depend on whether this moment strengthens democratic institutions, protects peaceful dissent and encourages governments to respond to public concerns with transparency and responsibility.
Taking advantage of the catastrophic situation, armed US troops have landed in La Guaira, warships have been stationed on our coasts, and Venezuelan airspace is daily violated by drones, planes, and helicopters of the occupying power. They have not rescued anyone, they have not assisted anyone.
GAZA CITY—The charred shell of the Al-Masri family home in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City was still smoldering on Tuesday afternoon, hours after the Israel military bombed it, killing Firas and Salsabeel al-Masri and their four children—Faryal, Salma, Amira and Naim—as they slept.
Although some consider China to still represent aspects of socialism or communism and others support so-called democratic opposition to China in Taiwan, we argue that both China and Taiwan are capitalist states. Their opposition to each other and U.S. interests in Taiwan only exacerbate the chances of international imperialist war.

The cover of Pink Floyd’s album Dark Side of the Moon is a perfect visual metaphor for the South African transition from apartheid. The image, a single beam of white light being refracted through a prism, becoming a rainbow, perfectly captures the way the transition to democracy in 1994 became a prism refracting whiteness into a multiplicity of coexisting colours. This trick of refraction temporarily enabled white South Africa to erase its complicity in the persistence of racialised poverty and deepening inequality in favour of an imagined unity that left the fundamental structural problems of South African society unchallenged.

Michael K. Smith examines Israel’s historical military and security relationships with governments and armed forces across Latin America, arguing that these links shaped counterinsurgency campaigns, authoritarian rule, and human rights abuses during the Cold War and beyond. The article traces alleged Israeli involvement in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia, and other countries, connecting these histories to contemporary security policies under leaders such as Nayib Bukele. It contends that methods first developed in Palestine were later exported to the Americas, influencing state violence, mass incarceration, and repression, while highlighting enduring debates over accountability, international solidarity, and the legacy of theseconflicts.
The growth of the Democratic Socialists of America has renewed debate about the future of the US left. Ellen Isaacs argues that DSA’s electoral strategy and commitment to reforming capitalism through existing institutions divert energy from building an independent, mass working-class movement. Examining the organization’s politics and the record of DSA-backed officials, the article contends that meaningful social transformation cannot be achieved through elections alone. It calls instead for workplace organizing, militant collective action, and a revolutionary understanding of capitalism as the basis for achieving a society beyond exploitation and inequality.
