Tunisia one year after the revolution - wave of strikes and uprisings Print E-mail
By Jorge Martin   
Wednesday, 01 February 2012
One year after the revolutionary overthrow of Ben Ali, Tunisia faces a wave of strikes, regional uprisings, sit-ins and protests of all sorts. For hundreds of thousands of Tunisian workers and youth who bravely defied the bullets of the dictatorship to get jobs and dignity nothing has fundamentally changed.
 
Pakistan: Democracy and dictatorship Print E-mail
By Lal Khan   
Wednesday, 01 February 2012
It is not ruled out that if the democratic facade of imperialism creates a crisis that threatens to unravel the economic system, the imperialist bosses would not hesitate to revert back to military dictatorship.
 
Syria: The regime is shaking - elements of dual power emerge Print E-mail
By Mousa Ladqani   
Monday, 30 January 2012
The Syrian revolution has entered a higher stage in the last few weeks. The number and size of demonstrations have reach record numbers, towns are falling under the control of defecting soldiers- including areas surrounding the capital of Damascus and embryonic forms of popular power are appearing in the form of popular councils.

As 2012 dawns: Once more on optimism and pessimism Print E-mail
By Alan Woods   
Thursday, 05 January 2012
The world is changing rapidly before our eyes. Over the last 12 months events have been unfolding with breathtaking speed.
 
The Year Of Arab Revolution Print E-mail
By Hamid Alizadeh   
Saturday, 17 December 2011
egypt-strike.jpgToday, Saturday, 17th December, marks the first anniversary of the Arab Revolution. On this day, one year ago, Mohammad Bouazizi, a young Tunisian fruit vendor, driven by desperation, poverty, and anger, set himself on fire in the city of Sidi Bouzid. The revolutionary wildfire that began after his death — first in southern Tunisia, then the entire country, then erupting across the entire Arab-speaking world—marked a turning point in human history
 
Class Struggle and the American Revolution Print E-mail
By Written by John Peterson in the USA   
Thursday, 15 December 2011
In the recent period, the so-called Tea Party movement has laid claim to the legacy of the American Revolution. With their tri-corner hats and abstract appeals to patriotism and freedom, they have seized headlines, aided by generous coverage by the corporate media. This has led to tremendous confusion when it comes to the real class roots of this world-shaking event. Unfortunately, for many Americans, the Revolution has been reduced to a summer barbecue on the 4th of July, flag-waving, fireworks, and images of George Washington heroically crossing the Delaware River.

 

 
New Zealand: An analysis of Labour's general election disaster Print E-mail
By New Zealand Socialist Appeal Editorial Board   
Tuesday, 13 December 2011
For the NZ Labour Party the 2011 general election defeat was the worst since 1928. The main factor for this was the historic low turnout as many workers stayed at home and were not enthused enough by the right-wing leadership of the Labour Party to go out and vote. The turn out was down from (what was considered then a low turnout) 79.46% at the 2008 general election to 73.83%. This was the lowest turnout since 1878!
 
Elections in Russia: The tide is turning Print E-mail
By Alan Woods   
Wednesday, 07 December 2011
The parliamentary elections in Russia on Sunday, December 4, were seen as a popularity test of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who is running for the presidency in March. The result was a blow to Putin, registering a sharp fall in support for his United Russia party. According to the official results, which are undoubtedly rigged, United Russia obtained just under half of valid votes cast, which gives it a very small majority in the State Duma.
 
Egypt: SCAF-organised elections will not satisfy aspirations of the masses Print E-mail
By Hamid Alizadeh   
Monday, 28 November 2011
On Friday more than a million Egyptian youth, workers and poor yet again assembled in Tahrir Square. The masses have once again risen in an attempt to remove the remnants of the Mubarak regime, which are still in power. Not far from Tahrir, in Abbassiya Square, not more than a couple of thousand people gathered in a pathetic demonstration in support of the SCAF. To the sceptics who did not believe in the revolution, this should be a clear demonstration of the real balance of forces. But at the same time the revolution clearly faces obstacles, not from external forces, but in its own internal contradictions.
 
Where is China going? Print E-mail
By Lal Khan   
Friday, 25 November 2011
After overtaking Japan, this year China became the second largest economy in the world. Some experts have even predicted that by the end of this decade China may become the largest economy bypassing the United States. However, that is based on a mechanical, empirical approach that sees China maintaining its present levels of growth uninterruptedly for years to come. In the past Japan was also supposed to keep on growing, but then its apparent meteoric rise was cut across by a long period of stagnation.
 
Spanish elections: Socialist Party trounced – new right wing government faces acute capitalist crisi Print E-mail
By Jorge Martin   
Wednesday, 23 November 2011
The results of the Spanish elections on Sunday November 20 represented a massive defeat for the Socialist Party (PSOE) which had introduced austerity measures to make the workers pay for the capitalist crisis, rather than a victory for the right wing Popular Party (PP) which will now have to introduce even more savage austerity cuts in the face of the acute crisis of Spanish capitalism.
 
Egypt – masses rise against the army generals Print E-mail
By Brian Adams   
Wednesday, 23 November 2011
Events in Egypt are developing at lightning speed. Similarly to the last days of Mubarak in February this year, we see daily battles on the streets of Cairo and elsewhere. The Egyptian masses are determined to see the revolution carried through to the end. The clash between revolution and counter-revolution is provoking a crisis inside all political forces, as the rank and file instinctively move towards revolution and the leaderships vacillate and try to hold the masses back.
 
Why an Italian meltdown threatens the world economy Print E-mail
By Alan Woods   
Monday, 14 November 2011
The Eurozone is passing through the most serious crisis in its entire history. After Greece comes the Italian crisis. This places a big question mark over the future of the euro. We predicted long ago that in a serious crisis all the national contradictions come to the fore, as we now see with the fractious relations between Greece, France, Germany and Italy. The European Union is facing the day of reckoning.
 
The limitations and contradictions of the ‘Chinese Model’ Print E-mail
By Daniel Morley   
Wednesday, 09 November 2011
The bourgeoisie has never, anywhere, been able to find the key to unlock the mysteries of their own economic system. The only way to understand capitalism is to accept and to explain its contradictory, crisis-ridden nature. It cannot be perfected; its riddle will never be solved from within its confines. Precisely because the apologists of capitalism can never accept this fact, they are forever shifting from one side of the problem to the other.
