CHILE’S BORIC IS NATIONALIZING LITHIUM RESERVES
[[link removed]]
_Alexander C. Kaufman_ / Huffpost (New York)
Last week, Chile announced plans to bring the country’s vast
reserves of lithium under government ownership. The country is the
world’s second-largest producer of the key metal used in electric
vehicle batteries and is seeking to keep a bigger cut of its mineral
riches within its borders.

ISRAEL PROTESTS AND PALESTINE RESISTANCE
[[link removed]]
_Donald Swartz and Avishai Ehrlich_ / Socialist Project (Toronto)
The demonstrations usually gather on late Saturday afternoon, and
there is a central place where people speak. And the left has created
a kind of focus area, where there are lots of posters distributed and
carried which have to do with the conflict, with “there is no
democracy with occupation,” so the common theme is democracy.

INDIA’S ORIGINAL COMMUNISTS LOSE STATUS
[[link removed]]
The Federal (Chennai)
From being a political formation which once commanded tens of
thousands of dedicated activists all the way from Peshawar to
Chittagong in undivided India, the CPI has now been reduced to a
two-men show in the 545-seat Lok Sabha, a great fall which its leaders
lament. The Election Commission announced that it was withdrawing the
“national status” accorded for decades to the CPI.

UK LABOUR PURGE

_Ruby Lott-Lavigna_ / openDemocracy (London)
In Stroud, Labour even blocked its own council leader, Doina Cornell,
from the local parliamentary longlist. At the time, Cornell said she
was given “spurious and partisan reasons”, with some reports
suggesting it had been down to social media posts. She and two other
councillors then quit the party, costing Labour its control of the
town hall.

JAYATI GHOSH’S CALL TO ACTION
[[link removed]]
_Sorcha Brennan_ / Frontiers (Lausanne)
Predominantly private, deregulated finance sloshing around the globe
responds to monetary and fiscal policies in rich countries, while
causing huge collateral damage to the developing world. We have to do
something with the global financial architecture to reduce or prevent
this. The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, etc., are not
fit for this purpose.

NIGERIA: WHAT’S BECOME OF ENDSARS

_Amos Oluwatoye_ / Waging Nonviolence (Brooklyn)
By channeling their energy into the Obidient movement, Nigeria’s
anti-police brutality activists have turned a fringe political party
into a powerful force for change.
