Washington Beats the Drum of Regime Change, but Cuba Responds to Its Own Revolutionary RhythmSovereign regionalism is not alien to the Caribbean, which has made four attempts to build a platform: the West Indian Federation (1958-1962), Caribbean Free Trade Association (1965-1973), Caribbean Community (1973-1989), and CARICOM (1989 to the present). What began as an anti-imperialist union has now devolved into a trade association that attempts to better integrate the region into world trade.

Culture War In The ClassroomThe American right’s latest culture war offensive is an all-out assault on “critical race theory” (CRT). Like other right-wing campaigns, the attack on CRT is taking place on two fronts—one battle to define the term negatively in popular discourse, and another to enact laws and executive orders that severely restrict how racism is addressed in public schools and post-secondary public institutions. The two fronts work in tandem, feeding off each other; consequently, they must be addressed together. The post Culture War In The Classroom appeared first on PopularResistance.Org. read more

But after several decades of neoliberalism and a decade of strict austerity, Europe now faces the challenge of how to tackle today’s housing inequality.

Is Russia’s One and Only (And Really Old) Aircraft Carrier an Actual Threat?*Kris Osborn* *Russian Navy, Europe* Russia does not appear to have much in the way of carrier-launched aircraft, a circumstance which of course limits its ability to project power and conduct serious or large-scale attack operations with multiple sorties. Will Russia’s lone aircraft carrier sail once again into open waters, ready for combat and prepared to launch massive, high-speed air attacks? That’s perhaps not entirely clear, at least in terms of its actual performance ability, yet Russian news reports do say the carrier is now being overhauled and upgraded to re-enter serv... read more

The student loan time-bombI wasn't aware that, in part because of pandemic relief legislation, only about 1% of student loans are currently being repaid. That's supposed to change in October - but how many borrowers can afford to resume payments? In the 2020 CARES Act, Congress gave student-loan borrowers a temporary break from repaying their loans. President Trump extended that twice and President Biden once, with loan payments now set to resume Oct. 1, 2021. Borrowers could have kept paying if they wanted to, but almost nobody did.
