The Cuban revolution is once more being attacked by the imperialists.
They raise a hue and cry about “democratic rights”, but what they are
really concerned about is a country where private property of the means
of production has been abolished, where the revolution has survived, in
spite of many mistakes and difficulties, and which continues to be a
point of reference for the downtrodden masses of Latin America. In
this,
the International Marxist Tendency stands firmly in support of the
Cuban revolution against the attacks of imperialism.

In 2008 the people of Pakistan voted
into office the PPP, hoping that this would bring genuine change, i.e. a
real improvement in their living conditions. Instead we have a
worsening economic situation, real suffering of the millions of poor,
and warfare killing many innocent civilians. Meanwhile the PPP
leadership is busying itself applying the IMF-imposed policies of cuts
and privatisations. In these conditions it is not surprising that many
are asking themselves what democracy has meant for them.

Goldman
Sachs has been accused of fraud and is up before the American Securities
and
Exchange Commission. What is coming out from all this are the clever
tricks of
the trade, i.e. how to make money from money - without actually
investing in the
real economy - and in the process “advise” people on how to lose their
money
while making the likes of Goldman Sachs very rich... until it all
crashes of
course.

April 14 saw over 200 Glasgow
University staff and students protest against cuts which are emerging as
part
of the ‘restructuring’ process despite management’s earlier promises.
The
demonstration was called by the lecturers’ union UCU but also saw strong
support from Unite and Unison who organise maintenance and admin staff.

The eurozone countries in particular are caught in a vice. After the
binge comes the hang-over. The Common Market was set up to develop a
European-wide market as a means of overcoming the narrow constraints of
the
nation state.

The world economy is gradually emerging from the biggest economic crisis
since the 1930s. In Britain last year we saw the biggest fall in
economic
output in any single year since 1921. Now there are signs of a slow
painful
recovery. However, there will be no return to “normality”. The crisis
marks the
end of an epoch economically and politically. We are now entering the
age of
austerity.

With the general election campaign almost at the official
half way spot and all the polls pointing to a tight campaign, something
odd has
happened. A sense of boredom has crept in to what should have been an
exciting
four weeks of political cut and thrust. Only the recent jump in the Lib
Dems
position in the opinion polls has provided any points of interest.

The House of
Lords has just approved the Digital Economy Bill. It has caused ripples
across
the technology world, most notably because of its proposals regarding
the
suspension of repeat file sharers’ internet connections, and gives the
courts
power to issue injunctions against websites accused of hosting
copyright-infringing material. Internet freedom campaigners have reacted
with
dismay.

The recession has hit the working class hard as big business seeks
to make ordinary people pay the price for the greed of the banksters and
the City of London. For working class women, things are looking very
grim already - here Rachel Gibbs reveals some of the facts and what they
mean.

After eight years of war in
Afghanistan, the inability of Western imperialism to quell the
insurgency has entered into a period of crisis. Cracks and divisions
within the central government are becoming more and more critical as
the military and political situation becomes ever more unstable. Major
conflicts within Afghanistan’s Western-backed ruling clique were first
brought to a head in August during the presidential elections. The
accusations of fraud have left Karzai’s grip on power extremely
strained and have left Karzai wondering whether the NATO mission is more
hindrance than help.

The Venezuelan revolution is at a
crossroads – either it proceeds to expropriate the bourgeoisie and do
away with the bourgeois state or the right-wing reactionary oligarchy
will start to gain ground and threaten all that has been achieved so
far. In this context the PSUV is the key. It must adopt a Marxist
programme. That is why the Marxists have launched Lucha de Clases
(Class Struggle) as a tool for the transformation of the PSUV into a
Marxist revolutionary party capable of leading the socialist revolution.

It is clear as daylight that the Fianna Fail/Green Coalition in the 26
counties is a business Government dancing to the tune of the bankers and

Some academics may sniff their noses at historical accounts written by
participants in those events, claiming that ‘objectivity’ is
questionable in such works. Marxists, of course would argue that there
is no such thing as objectivity, since every story is told from a point
of view, a perspective. Indeed, most works of history are written by
bourgeois academics reflecting the point of view of bourgeois society
at the time of writing. Those which run counter to that view are rare
indeed. This is such a book.

It had to happen sooner or later. The ruling class has long used race
and gender to divide the working class and to divert attention from the
real causes of the ills of society. Now it is a whole generation who is
to blame. They are the ‘baby-boomers’
