The Movement of the Occupied Factories in Brazil is a
glorious chapter in the struggle of the working class. Last year the courts and
the police intervened in an attempt to smash the movement. In spite of
everything it still survives at the Flaskô plastics factory in Sumaré, Sao Paulo. Here we
provide an account of the struggle of the Flaskô workers and background to the
movement as a whole.

In the summer of 1939, the Tientsin incident unleashed a
nationalistic outburst in defence of British prerogatives over China. Labour
and Stalinist leaders advocated for a "firm" defence of British interests and China against Japan. Ted Grant vehemently
rejected their chauvinism and warned "We cannot trust the British capitalists
to carry out any act in the interests of the workers of Britain and the
world."

Opposition students in Venezuela are depicted as poor
victims of an authoritarian regime. The world media pick up on this and repeat
the fairy tale until people start to believe it. But these students are such
victims that they receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in the form of the
"Milton Friedman Liberty Prize". Friedman's Chicago Boys were also
advisers to Pinochet, no doubt also seen as a "victim" by these people.

The mass media in the west
continue to pump out lies about what is happening in Bolivia. They claim the oligarchy
in Santa Cruz
has won support from the people for "autonomy". We provide the facts that show
the opposite is the case. Reaction is spurring on the masses to step up their
revolutionary offensive.

Last week, (May 1-4) the Marxist Tendency in Italy, gathered
around the journal FalceMartello, held its national conference. More
than 175 comrades took part in the four-day event. One could feel that the
comrades are on the verge of another leap forward in their development.

Lenin is probably the most slandered individual of the 20th century. As
leader of the Russian Revolution of 1917, he has been attacked by
bourgeois academics, Tory, Labour and Liberal politicians as well as
Establishment figures internationally. So what did Lenin
really stand for? And are his ideas still relevant today?

The Tory victories in the local elections on May 1st mean that the
Conservatives will almost certainly go on to win the next general election and
form the next government. Theoretically the Labour leadership could turn the
situation round, but they seem incapable of changing their disastrous course.
New Labour is in meltdown.

The attempt
of the Bolivian oligarchy to use the referendum on autonomy as a lever to push
forward their reactionary agenda has failed. They failed to get the votes they
required, and at the same time they have enraged the masses of workers and
peasants, who have risen once more in huge mobilisations.

At the April 30
preparatory meeting for May Day 4000 workers filled the Teatro Taressa Carreño
in Caracas to hear Chavez give his most radical speech ever. He signed two
decrees in front of the audience: the first one being a law that increases the
minimum wage by 30% and the second the official nationalization of SIDOR. This
was followed on May Day with hundreds of thousands of workers filling the streets
of Caracas.

May Day
in Nigeria
this year came after a series of rotten deals between the trade union leaders
and the bosses in many companies. That explains why the turn-out was not as
high as in previous years. In spite of this, the union leaders came under such
pressure that they have been forced to call a day of action for May 8.

By May 27 the balance
of forces had massively shifted in favour of the working class. Power was
within their grasp. De Gaulle was utterly demoralised, but he had one key card
he could play, the leadership of the Communist Party and the trade unions.

May 1968 was the greatest revolutionary general strike in history.
Then, as now, the bourgeois and their apologists were congratulating themselves
that revolutions and class struggle were things of the past. It took most of the
Left completely by surprise, because, they had all written off the European
working class as a revolutionary force.
