In the summer of 2000, in the deep waters of the Arctic Ocean, a nuclear submarine known as the "aircraft carrier's nemesis" exploded twice in 135 seconds, killing 118 submarine personnel. The tragedy of the Kurtis became a microcosm of the general situation of the military at that time, ten years after the great changes in the Soviet Union.

» KEY POINTS Many locations have appealed the results of the 2020 Census because they believe there was an undercount in their communities. Based upon my own experience employed by the Census Bureau, I can understand their fears, and the decade of consequences to follow.

Americans Equating Any Level of Socialism as Stalinism Is First Class Brainwashing
Photo by Andrey A few years ago I was reading The Proud Tower by Barbara Tuchman. Detailing the anarchist movements that swept the world at the turn of the century, violence played out against the backdrop of enormous gaps between rich and poor. The United States was not immune as William McKinley could attest. So I couldn’t help wonder how the vast poor allowed the rich to get away with this in a country that voted.

In Owners of the Sidewalk: Security and Survival in the Informal City, Daniel Goldstein writes about the people who had to relocate to the city from the agricultural lands and mining towns due to the effects of neoliberal reforms. In 1993, Planning Minister Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada was elected and soon after, the laws concerning imported food were changed such that the Bolivian farmers, who had lost their government-provided subsidies, could no longer compete with foreign farmers. (Goldstein 2016, 37). According to Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age, by Kenneth Guest, “ Stratification and inequality became more pronounced in industrialized capitalist economies over recent centuries, and this uneven development appears to be accelerating under forces of globalization” (Guest 2020, 345).
