    Chile: in memory of Carlos and Pinochet’s caravan of death

    Originally published: Resumen: Latinoamericano and the Third World on February 22, 2023 by Ariel Dorfman (more by Resumen: Latinoamericano and the Third World) (Posted Feb 27, 2023)

    Every dawn, during my daily walk to the foothills of the Andes, I pass by the Tobalaba Aerodrome, a facility that caters to a wide variety of private aircraft. In a year marking the 50th anniversary of the coup against the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende, that airport arouses less affable feelings.

    The forest in the city: two years of forest defense in Atlanta, Georgia

    Originally published: CrimethInc. on February 22, 2023 (more by CrimethInc.)  | (Posted Feb 27, 2023)

    The campaign to defend the forest in Atlanta, Georgia has become one of the most vibrant movements of the post-Trump era, interweaving environmentalism, abolitionism, and the fight against gentrification. Yet as police shift to employing lethal violence and indiscriminate terrorism charges, it has reached a critical juncture.

    Originally published: The Postil Magazine on April 1, 2022 by Jacques Baud (more by The Postil Magazine) (Posted Apr 10, 2022)

    Originally published: Donbass Insider on March 22, 2022 by Christelle Néant (more by Donbass Insider)  | (Posted Mar 28, 2022)

  • The War in Eurasia

    Ukraine as the ‘Geopolitical Pivot’: The U.S. Grand Strategy 1991-2022

    Eds.

    As we write these notes at the beginning of March 2022, the eight-year limited civil war in Ukraine has turned into a full-scale war. This represents a turning point in the New Cold War and a great human tragedy. By threatening global nuclear holocaust, these events are also now endangering the entire world. To understand the origins of the New Cold War and the onset of the current Russian entry into the Ukrainian civil war, it is necessary to go back to decisions associated with the creation of the New World Order made in Washington when the previous Cold War ended in 1991.

    Originally published: Why Evolution is True on July 5, 2021 by Jerry Coyne (more by Why Evolution is True) (Posted Jul 05, 2021)

    If find it hard to recount Dick’s [Richard C. Lewontin] scientific accomplishments—not because I don’t know them, but because they’re already well known and you can read about them in many places. He made fundamental contributions in theoretical population genetics, in experimental population genetics (out of his lab came the first assays of genetic variation at individual loci using both electrophoresis and DNA sequencing), and even in ecology. He never wrote a trivial paper.

  • Gendered Violence as an Inextricable Thread of Capitalism
    Maja Solar Graffiti in Mexico City, 2011. It reads: No Mas Feminicidios (No more murder of women).

    The gendered forms of violence in capitalist-patriarchal societies are, obviously, related to what is habitually recognized as violence against women.

  • End of Cold War Illusions
    Harry Magdoff F-16N Fighting Falcon

    In this reprint of the February 1994 “Notes from the Editors,” former MR editors Harry Magdoff and Paul M. Sweezy ask: “The United States could not have won a more decisive victory in the Cold War. Why, then, does it continue to act as though the Cold War is still on?”
