How the Radical Right Takeover in Brazil Has Parallels with Trumpism
Anne Vigna | Le Monde diplomatique - AlterNet,
11 Dec 2017
The hard right is running the country without being elected after Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment last year. It has surprising support among the new lower-middle class. There has never been a time when those defending the interests of the big landowners, evangelical Christians and the army have been so strongly represented in the National Congress.

Le 14 juillet, un homme au volant d’un camion fonçait sur la foule à Nice, tuant quatre-vingt-quatre personnes et en blessant des centaines. Le massacre a aussitôt été qualifié d’attentat « terroriste ». Mais, pour lutter efficacement contre ce type d’actes, l’emploi de ce terme a-t-il une utilité quelconque ?

Legal cases such as this are vital: they aim to hold corporations to account and to contest systematic impunity. Hopefully the lawsuit will open the way to hundreds of other cases on behalf of community leaders, activists and trade unionists killed or ‘disappeared’.

19 Fev 2015 – Os números são de tirar o fôlego. A série de reportagens publicada pelo jornal Le Monde, espetacular e inédita, é fruto de investigações realizadas entre Paris, Washington, Bruxelas e Genebra, e revela os bastidores de um grande sistema de evasão fiscal aceito, e até encorajado, pelo britânico HSBC, o segundo maior banco do mundo, através da sua filial suíça HSBC Private Bank.

19 Jan 2015
Je suis Charlie, je ne suis pas Charlie. Le Charlie en moi est accablé par l’assassinat de figures familières, chantres de la grivoiserie et de la dérision, il est bouleversé par la mort de ces bouffeurs de religion dont l’outrance et le mauvais goût rigolards étaient la marque de fabrique.

Luxembourg, Pays-Bas: Profitant d’une législation fiscale souple aux Etats-Unis, et poussées par des actionnaires avides de rentabilité, elles franchissent l’Atlantique, pour dissimuler une partie de leurs juteux profits, réalisés hors des Etats-Unis, dans ce paradis fiscal pour grandes entreprises.

Morre no Vietnã, aos 102 anos, gênio militar responsável por arrasar “mito da invencível superioridade dos Estados Unidos”. Sem formação militar acadêmica, Giap refina o conceito de “guerra popular prolongada”: um exército de camponeses firmemente apoiado na população.

Serge Halimi – Le Monde Diplomatique,
20 May 2013
It’s not really news that some politicians love money and like to spend time with those who have lots of it. Or that they sometimes behave like a caste that is above the law. Or that the tax system favours the affluent, and that the free circulation of capital enables them to stash their cash in tax havens. But de facto dictatorship can count on the mainstream media to come up with diverting subjects to delay, and then misdirect, collective revolt, and to personalise and thereby depoliticise the most shocking scandals.

Silla Sigurgeirsdóttir and Robert H Wade – Le Monde Diplomatique,
8 Aug 2011
The small island of Iceland has lessons for the world. It held a referendum in April to decide, more or less, whether ordinary people should pay for the folly of the bankers (and by extension, could governments control the corporate sector if they depended on it for finance). Sixty per cent of the population rejected an agreement negotiated between Iceland, the Netherlands and the UK to pay back the British and Dutch governments for the money they spent to recompense savers with the failed bank Icesave. That was less resistance than the first referendum last spring, when 93% voted no.

« Cuba, c’est comme une telenovela de cinquante mille épisodes dont chacun pense que le prochain sera le dernier », résume Fernando Ravsberg, journaliste à la British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Avant d’ajouter, dans un sourire : « Mais elle continue toujours. » Cinquante-deux ans après le « triomphe de la révolution », le volet qui s’ouvre en 2011 débute par un événement et un double anniversaire.

L’irruption de la “rue arabe” (concept jusqu’ici bien commode par son abstraction) place l’Occident face à ses contradictions : si l’interpellation populaire de pouvoirs autocratiques et corrompus résonne avec les valeurs démocratiques dont on se targue à Washington, Paris et ailleurs, elle s’accorde mal avec les aspects pratiques d’une politique occidentale qui n’a jamais fait grand cas de l’opinion publique locale. Comment embrasser un élan populaire quand on est tout sauf populaire dans la région ?

L’habit ne fait pas le moine, bien sûr, mais une belle apparence inspire le respect. C’est pourquoi il est tout sauf anecdotique que l’idée de décroissance, si allègrement injuriée par les thuriféraires du dogme "croissanciste", ait été accueillie dans un lieu imprégné de pensée. Du 26 au 29 mars s’est tenue dans la belle université […]

Clothes do not make the man, of course, but a fine appearance inspires respect. That’s why it was so critical that the idea of degrowth, so cheerfully reviled by the “growthist” toadies, was hosted in a place imbued by thought. During March 26 to 29, the second conference on economic degrowth was held at the […]

Capitalism’s history coincides with the history of its crises. Over the 1970-2007 period, there were at least 124 banking crises, 208 exchange rate crises and 63 sovereign debt crises! Even though most of those crises remained restricted to peripheral countries, this nonetheless remains a very alarming fact. In the face of such figures, the idea […]

It’s time to stop the verbal pretense. In the Near East, there is no negotiation "process" underway. Furthermore, there is also no prospect for peace. The situation is nonetheless not in a state of status quo: it is regressing. Dangerously. The United States bears the primary responsibility. Several months ago, Barack Obama had placed the […]

Perhaps the economic catastrophe is dissipating the most glaring illusions about the self-regulating market, making global capitalism’s doctrinarians a bit less arrogant, provoking the spectacular conversions of some "leaders" who would urgently like to make us forget their previous blindness. But the catastrophe has not yet brought about the blockage of all the apparatuses, […]

The Sri Lankan regime is exultant. It’s about to get away scot-free with the massacre of thousands of civilians on its country’s northeastern beaches. According to a UN estimate, close to 20,000 people could have perished in the Sri Lankan army’s end of January to end of May offensive against the ultra-violent Liberation Tigers […]
