Philippine human rights defender Walden Bello: *Neoliberal Economists Should Be Recognized as Criminals, Not Prize-Winners.*

Global trade, unleashed from national frontiers, has proved extremely effective for converting the Earth's natural resources, and the work of the non-rich, into wealth to spread among the affluent few. That is what the World Trade Organization locks countries into.

Broadening historical preservation in the US to include homes of people who were not rich, and perhaps not white either.

The article linked to just above displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid endorsing bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I denounce bigotry, and normally I will not link to articles that promote it. But I make exceptions for some articles that I consider particularly important, usually because they have something to teach about racism or fighting racism. That article is one of the exceptions.

I disagree with one point mentioned in the article. I don't believe anyone living today needs to feel guilty over having had ancestors that had dealings with slavery or slave-owners. The test for our consciences is whether we support freedom today.

India has banned several documentaries that presented oppression of Muslims.

It forced Twitter to censor tweets (before Musk took it over) that accused India of repressing protesting farmers.
