    Originally published: Dissident Voice on December 11, 2022 by Randy Shields (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Dec 13, 2022)

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on October 11, 2022 by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Oct 13, 2022)

    It is widely acknowledged that U.S. and NATO officers are now fully involved in Ukraine’s operational war planning, aided by a broad range of U.S. intelligence gathering and analysis to exploit Russia’s military vulnerabilities, while Ukrainian forces are armed with U.S. and NATO weapons and trained up to the standards of other NATO countries.

    The need for alienation

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on September 19, 2022 by William Manson (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Sep 22, 2022)

    In his early Paris manuscripts (1844), the young Karl Marx defined “alienation” as an estrangement from the product of one’s labor. The modern factory, with its specialized division-of-labor (which even Adam Smith deplored as necessary but dehumanizing), exponentially increased productive output—but at the price of deskilling and condemning the worker to a single, repetitive task.

    It’s time to call it what it is: A capitalism-induced ecological crisis

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on September 14, 2022 by Erin McCarley (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Sep 19, 2022)

    One-third of Pakistan is under water. Record heat waves blanket the globe driving up temperatures beyond what humans can survive. Polar glaciers are melting much faster than scientists predicted. Droughts, fires and floods are ravaging the planet, forcing the displacement of tens of millions of people. And this is just the beginning.

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on September 5, 2022 by Graham Peebles (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Sep 07, 2022)

    After a fragile ceasefire lasting just five months, the TPLF (Tigray People’s Liberation Front) have once again initiated violent conflict with federal forces in Northern Ethiopia.

    Standardized testing

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on July 14, 2022 by Frank Breslin (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Jul 16, 2022)

    Did it ever strike you as odd that the foundation on which standardized testing is based is a self-contradiction?

    Fabricating Putin quotes and banning paraplegic athletes to undermine Russia: how low can the West go?

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on April 7, 2022 by Rick Sterling (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Apr 09, 2022)

    Mobilizing a population to vilify and hate a targeted enemy is a tactic that leaders have used since before the dawn of human history, and it is being used to demonize Russia and Vladimir Putin in the current conflict.

    An antidote to the “split” in the U.S. Peace Movement: anti-interventionism

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on April 7, 2022 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    Massachusetts Peace Action, a venerable part of the U.S. Peace Movement, has been around since the 1980s and its predecessors date back to the 1950s. Its voice is heeded and it represents most of the shared opinions of the liberal and progressive U.S. peace movement.

    A system that is racist, regressive and punitive for nothing more than profit and control! We must #StopTheAbuse of the American people, and in turn the world – the struggle begins at home!…

    Wars disturb and delude. The Ukraine conflict is no exception. Misinformation is cantering through press accounts and media dispatches with feverish spread.

    Business as usual: Facebook, Russia, and hate speech

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on March 12, 2022 by Binoy Kampmark (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Mar 14, 2022)

    The Russian Federation, President Vladimir Putin, and Russians in general emerge as the latest contenders, the comic strip villains who those in the broadly designated “West” can now take issue with.

    The gains of Nicaraguan women during the second Sandinista Government

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on February 15, 2022 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    Women in the Third World (and increasingly in the imperial First World) face problems of violence at home and in public, problems of food and water for the family, of proper shelter, and lack of health care for the family, and their own lack of access to education and thus work opportunities.

    Solidarity forged from slave chains

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on February 1, 2022 by Alan Johnstone (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Feb 03, 2022)

    When the American Civil War ended, Lincoln and his successor Andrew Johnson gave the defeated Confederacy generous peace terms. Vengeance upon the slaveocracy was to be no part of the reconciliation process. It was to be amnesty for Southern slave-owners but new chains for the former slaves.

    No letup in economic and social decline

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on January 11, 2022 by Shawgi Tell (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Jan 13, 2022)

    Economic and social conditions have been worsening for decades at home and abroad, especially in the context of the neoliberal antisocial offensive which was launched more than 40 years ago by the international financial oligarchy. But they have been getting even worse in recent years and over the past two years in particular.

    21st Century U.S. coups and attempted coups in Latin America

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on January 6, 2022 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    During the 21st century, the U.S., working with corporate elites, traditional oligarchies, military, and corporate media, has continually attempted coups against Latin American governments which place the needs of their people over U.S. corporate interests. U.S. organized coups in Latin American countries is hardly a 20th century phenomenon.

    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?”
