"US imperialism faces not only a
humiliating defeat at the hands of the Iraqi resistance, but faces the threat
of a mass movement, which could explode at any time, in the United States
itself." This is the editorial of the Autumn 2006 issue of the Asian Marxist Review.
Up until recently, while Iraq
was viewed as a quagmire, Afghanistan
was seen as a relatively successful part of George Bush’s “War on Terror.” Now,
even this silver lining is beginning to disappear.
The Jammu Kashmir National Students' Federation (the JKNSF), a Marxist
organization of students in Kashmir, organized a protest against the Earthquake
Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Authority (ERRA) for its brutal policies
towards the people affected by last years' earthquake.
