The Corporate State Wins Again
 By Chris Hedges

http://www.countercurrents.org/hedges250411.htm

The game is over. We lost. The corporate state will continue its inexorable advance until two-thirds of the nation is locked into a desperate, permanent underclass. Most Americans will struggle to make a living while the Blankfeins and our political elites wallow in the decadence and greed of the Forbidden City and Versailles


Capitalism And Class Struggle
 By James Petras

http://www.countercurrents.org/petras250411.htm

While on the surface there is a decline of revolutionary political class struggle from below, there is the potential for economic struggles to become political in so far as inflation erodes gains and political leaders fix rigid 'guidelines' on wage advances. Secondly, as Venezuela illustrates, political leaders can provide conditions which favor the advance from economic to political class struggle

 Binayaks Get Justice?
 By Dipankar Bhattacharya

http://www.countercurrents.org/bhattacharya250411.htm

While welcoming the bail granted to Dr. Binayak Sen and the remarks made by the judges, the human rights movement cannot lose sight of this larger ongoing war. In fact, the time is now absolutely ripe for a powerful countrywide people's movement for democratic rights. The draconian laws – some of them archaic, and some are of recent origin – must go


Dear Mr Pope
 By Siddharthya Swapan Roy

http://www.countercurrents.org/swapanroy250411.htm

A disaster is unfolding in one part of the world as we speak – the broken reactors of Japan . Will all the prayer in the world vanish the killer radiation that is oozing out from it or will that be accomplished by engineers and men of science sweating it out there and who will do at least something concrete to cure the situation?

If anyone is benefiting from the Islamist idea, specifically the veil, then it is the western elite or the westernised liberals among Muslims


Extremism Breeds Extremism
 By Nazia Nazar

http://www.countercurrents.org/nazar250411.htm

The danger of nuclear arsenals is considered as an imminent threat to this globe; however, the real enemy the world confronts today is extremism. Unfortunately, the words 'extremists' and 'extremism' are considered as synonyms for Muslims and Islam only, which is a flawed and biased perception propagated by the western media. The fact of the matter is that extremists could be found everywhere in the world belonging to every religion and creed
