The current recession has given people a thirst for knowledge;
a desire to understand what is happening. People no longer need to be convinced
of the failure of Capitalism – they can see and experience it for themselves.
The public look to the bourgeois economists and reformist politicians for
answers and they get no explanation other than some muttering about “greedy
bankers”. This article published by a Cambridge student magazine explains what the Cambridge Marxists have to say about this.

The last
year has marked a huge turning point in the Irish economy and most
importantly a huge shift in the relations between the classes in
Ireland. While the Celtic Tiger had been on life support for a while,
2009 saw a huge crisis that has had massive economic consequences and
political change that will play out for a whole period. This year
represented a shift from one historical period to another; a whole new
perspective has opened up for Irish society, not just in the 26
counties, but increasingly across the whole island as the impact of the
capitalist crisis begins to be felt to its full extent in the north.

New Year is meant to represent a new beginning, a clean
slate. Old Father Time gives way to a new bouncing baby. But what can we expect
in 2010? Will it be a new shiny outlook
for world capitalism or will 2009 just seem to be dragging on under a new name?

The dramatic collapse of the talks at
the Climate Summit in Copenhagen serves to highlight one thing: the
capitalist governments of the world cannot solve burning issues, such
as damage to the environment provoked by the anarchy of the market. The
thirst for profit is in direct contradiction to the interests of the
working people of the world. Social revolution on a global scale is the
only real answer to the problem.

The Canadian occupation of Afghanistan
is on its last legs. Richard Colvin’s testimony, admitting that
Canadian soldiers were complicit in the torture of prisoners, is the
finishing touch. We reproduce an article published by the Marxist site Fightback which looks at the Afghan war from a Canadian perspective.

More than a few 'commentators' on the defacto cuts announced on
Thursday by UK Chancellor Darling, as part of the plan to make the public
sector pay for the banks' bailout, sought to praise the ruthless cuts
announced on the same day in Ireland. The message is clear so far as
these characters are concerned - we need to cut and cut hard. We reproduce a statement issued by the Irish Marxists on the day the cuts were made public.
