Hungary: The disastrous consequences of capitalism Print E-mail
By A voice from Hungary   
Thursday, 16 June 2011
Recent opinion polls show that a majority of Hungarians find life so miserable that they would like to live somewhere else. Many consider that life was much better before 1989 when people enjoyed full employment and an advanced welfare system. Capitalism has destroyed all that. However, as our correspondent points outs, what existed before was not genuine socialism, but a Stalinist regime that people rose up against. What is required is state ownership and planning, but under the democratic control of the workers themselves.
 
Nigeria: Union busting activities at Dangote Pasta Print E-mail
By Samuel Obuseh, Dangote Pasta Workers NUFBTE Branch Union President   
Tuesday, 14 June 2011
Further to the earlier appeal for solidarity, we are publishing an account of the anti-union activities at Dangote Pasta which led to the victimisation of the union organisers at the plant, including the firing of 200 workers who refused to leave the union.
 
Nigeria: Defend victimised Dangote Pasta workers! Print E-mail
By Workers & Youth Defence Campaign (WYDC)   
Tuesday, 14 June 2011

We call on all our readers to support the Public Campaign in defence of over 200 workers of Dangote Pasta at Ikorodu, Lagos (Nigeria) sacked for refusing to resign their membership of the in-house workers’ union since August 2010. We underline the fact that the main trade union organisers were severely beaten in the process and the families of these workers are suffering terribly as a consequence of these actions on the part of management.

Here are some videos so you can have a better feel of what is going on in Athens. As you can see the struggle is continuing to develop!
 
Greece on the brink of a revolutionary situation Print E-mail
By Stamatis Karagiannopoulos   
Monday, 06 June 2011
Yesterday a milestone was passed in the social and political situation in Greece and throughout Europe. Impressive mobilizations rolled across the country: half a million in Athens and rallies  of thousands of people gathered in Thessaloniki, Patras, Larissa, Volos, Heraklion, etc. This places Greece on the threshold of a revolutionary situation. It means that, for the first time in decades the developed capitalist countries of Europe are faced with the prospect of a revolution with continental dimensions.
 
Pakistan: the political economy of terrorism Print E-mail
By Lal Khan   
Monday, 06 June 2011
The ferocity of irregularly regular terrorist attacks in Pakistan has become a festering wound on the body politic of the country. Malaise and despair stalk the land. Yet for the masses at large the ever-raging futile debate amongst the dominant intelligentsia on this issue has only served to confuse rather than clarify this curse. It is, therefore, crucial to separate the essential from the inessential and grasp the core of the problem.
 
Mel Zelaya returns to Honduras – reconciliation or class struggle? Print E-mail
By Jorge Martin   
Saturday, 04 June 2011
On May 28th, Mel Zelaya, the Honduran president removed by a coup in June 2009 returned to Honduras where he was met by a massive crowd. On June 1, the Organisation of American States voted to readmit Honduras as a member, with only Ecuador voting against. The agreements that made this possible have provoked a lot of discussion amongst Honduran revolutionaries in the Resistance Front (FNRP) and throughout Latin America.
 
Greece: anger on the streets – Prepare the political general strike! Print E-mail
By Alan Woods   
Wednesday, 01 June 2011
The situation in Greece is growing day by day, and is moving in the direction of a revolutionary situation. Starting on Wednesday, 120-150,000 people thronged Syntagma Square and other central squares in all the main Greek towns. The masses protested the austerity policies of the government and the brutal aggression of the European Union against the people of Greece.
 
Greece: they are afraid of us! Action committees everywhere! Print E-mail
By Μarxistiki Foni   
Wednesday, 01 June 2011
This leaflet was issued as part of the intervention of the Greek Marxists of Marxistiki Foni in the demonstrations over the weekend. We publish it here in English for the benefit of our readers.
 
Greece: Usurers worry, Lackeys order and clowns consent Print E-mail
By Stamatis Karagiannopoulos   
Wednesday, 01 June 2011
The tactless intervention of the EU officials in Greek politics has put the cat among the pigeons here. Until now the pretence was maintained of “political consensus” as a condition for any funding from the IMF and EU loan. There was even talk of a possible "soft restructuring” of subsequent instalments of the € 110 billion loan or a new loan of € 50 - €60 billion. It was hinted that they might lengthen the repayment of the older debt.
 
Europe in crisis: Domino effect continues Print E-mail
By Alan Woods   
Friday, 27 May 2011

The Euro zone is in a mess. After a year of huge financial bail outs intended to calm the markets, the latter are very unstable, with a marked downward tendency. Signs of slowing global growth, and the continuing euro zone debt crisis, have caused the markets to slump. The nervousness of the markets is an accurate reflection of the growing anxiety of the bourgeois about the economic prospects for Europe.

 
US sanctions on PDVSA - latest imperialist provocation Print E-mail
By Jorge Martin   
Thursday, 26 May 2011
On Tuesday May 25, the US imposed penalties against Venezuelan state-owned company PDVSA, and another 6 companies from other countries, for conducting business with Iran.  The sanctions are part of an attempt by Washington to step up the pressure against Iran in relation to its nuclear program. They are also an act of blatant bullying directed against Venezuela.
 
Iran: crisis at the top of the regime – workers start to move Print E-mail
By Hamid Alizadeh   
Thursday, 26 May 2011
The last few weeks have seen an unprecedented public dispute between the president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the supreme leader Ali Khamenei. The dispute officially erupted over Ahmadinejad’s dismissal of Heydar Moslehi, the minister of intelligence who was fired by Ahmadinejad (officially he resigned himself) on April 17, but was then reinstated later the same day by a direct decree from Khamenei.
 
The Spanish elections and the revolutionary movement Print E-mail
By Alan Woods   
Monday, 23 May 2011
It leaps across frontier, defying all barriers, it laughs at the threats and curses of the ruling class and it sweeps aside the forces of the state. It cannot be halted. The mass protests that are spreading from one country to another have caught all the forces of the old society by surprise. They do not know how to react. If they do nothing, the movement grows, but if they attempt to crush it, it will grow much more rapidly.
