_José Olivares_ / Drop Site (Washington DC)
Ministers and officials from over 30 countries gathered in Bogotá,
Colombia to convene The Hague Group, an international organization
co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa. The
two-day conference discussed steps forward for the international
community to stop Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians. [See

WAR AND COUNTERREVOLUTION IN SUDAN

_Razaz H. Basheir_ / Africa is a Country (New York)
Sudan’s revolution removed a dictator but left intact the deep
structures of racialized hierarchy, militarism, and elite rule.
Resistance committees built new forms of power, but without rupture,
the old order reassembled itself.

BACKLASH AGAINST MEXICO CITY GENTRIFICATION
[[link removed]]
_Oscar Lopez_ / The Guardian (London)
Protests this month laid bare the growing anger from locals against
foreigners who have flocked to the Mexican capital since the
coronavirus pandemic.
__________
NEW CALEDONIA VS OLD FRANCE
[[link removed]]
_Murad Abiyev_ / Caliber (Baku)
A historic event has been taking place in France since last week — a
high-level summit between supporters of New Caledonia’s independence
and loyalists favouring unity with France. The standoff between
pro-independence forces and the colonial authorities has reached such
intensity that Paris now recognises: without active dialogue, it will
be difficult to keep New Caledonia within its orbit.

__________
CHINA’S ABORTED PERESTROIKA
_Rana Mitter_ / Project Syndicate (Kings Park NY)
Neoliberalism reshaped the global economy by encouraging freer capital
flows and a shift away from government intervention and planning.
China’s extraordinary growth in the 1980s and 1990s was closely tied
to these global trends, enabling it to harness its immense labor force
and put itself on a path to becoming the world’s manufacturing
powerhouse.
__________
FINLAND: MEMELORD ON THE LEFT
[[link removed]]
_Mike Watson_ / Jacobin (Brooklyn)
In the recent Finnish elections, leftist meme account admin Alma Tuuva
was among the newly elected councilors for the Left Alliance. She
demonstrates how to use the web to turn the tables on rightist
libertarians. Her Finnish-language memes use familiar Insta-influencer
and political meme aesthetics to address themes around social and
economic equality, cultural funding, and trans issues.
__________
THE TEARS OF GAZA’S MEN ARE AN ACT OF REBELLION
[[link removed]]
_A.J._ / +972 (Tel Aviv)
Despite the intentional dehumanization of our people and emasculation
of our men, Gaza is birthing a new kind of masculinity — based not
on militarism or stoicism but on moral clarity and dignity, even in
starvation.
