As the big day approaches, the hysteria builds up to a crescendo. The
21st December 2012 is seen as being the next date of the ‘end of the
world’, according to the ancient Mayan calendar. Yes, this time the
world is really supposed to end, we are told, and apologies for all the
previous false alarms.

Last week Angela Merkel was warning
that peace in Europe could be endangered if an agreement was not
reached at the EU summit on how to manage the crisis that has engulfed
the euro and the whole of the EU economy. Speaking to the German
parliament she said, “No one should think that a further half century of
peace and prosperity is assured. It isn't. And that's why I say if the
euro fails, Europe will fail, and that mustn't happen." Some of the more
serious strategists of capital have even raised the prospect that the
euro could break up. The 27 EU leaders on Wednesday night, however,
finally produced a three part deal.

The issue of “morality” and “morals”
is often used by critics of the Russian Revolution and supporters of
capitalism to smear the historical significance of the Bolsheviks and
tar the idea of socialism altogether. Leon Trotsky answered these
critics in his pamphlet “Their Morals and Ours”, written in 1938. In
this article, we look at Trotsky’s pamphlet and his analysis of
“morality”.

USA: The mainstream media has made much ado
about the fact that #OccupyWallStreet does not have a unified, cohesive
message. In trying to belittle it, they smugly point out that the
occupy movement is an amorphous and heterogeneous mix of people. Every
shade of political opinion and ideology is present: Makhno anarchists
and Ron Paul libertarians; Trotskyist socialists and New Age
neo-hippies; Anonymous and Zeitgeist; atheists and hard core believers;
the homeless and those who have quit their jobs to become full time
protesters against unemployment.

The
death of Gaddafi and the final collapse of his regime closes one
chapter. However, this merely marks one turning point in the situation.
Now that the old regime is finally gone, a struggle will open up over
the future of Libya. In this struggle we will see the forces of both
revolution and counter-revolution trying to get the upper hand. Here we
publish an analysis of the situation by Alan Woods.

Construction workers have always faced the brunt of the employers’
attacks. In an industry directly linked with the booms and busts of the
economy, construction bosses have always sought to squeeze as much
profit out of the workforce at every opportunity.

As the Coalition intensifies its attacks on working people, it
clearly reveals itself as a government completely in the pockets of big
business. In fact it is a government of the stinking rich, for the
stinking rich, by the stinking rich.

Milions of workers came out on strike in defence of their pensions. This was the biggest such action for decades. The fight goes on!
Alan Woods speaks to a meeting of Socialist Appeal supporters, on the financial crisis that is spreading across the globe like an epidemic. He points out that while there is a swing to the right at the top, there is a swing to the left at the bottom of society. Governments have rallied round to defend the banks while they continue to cut living standards. All this is having a profound effect on consciousness.
