We received this contribution on the situation in Venezuela. As
the comrade explains: "Here I want to give a brief and clear outline of the
revolutionary process which has been taking place in Venezuela starting from the point
where international powers recognised the great oil potential of the country."

We have received the following declaration, in both English and Creole, from student groups in Haiti on last month’s elections. The declaration details the difficulties the masses faced in voting and the alliance of the Haitian ruling class with imperialism. |

We received this document from comrade Neeraj Jain in Pune, India. For
twenty years comrade Neeraj was active in the Maoist movement in India.
Then recently he discovered the writings of Trotsky. As he says, “I
only began reading Trotsky a year ago. It was a revelation! It was
writing in the best tradition of Marx, Engels and Lenin. It came as a
shocker to me… the Maoist movement in India is silent on Trotsky’s
criticisms of Stalin, criticisms which are totally in the spirit of
Marxism-Leninism.” We may not necessarily agree on everything comrade
Neeraj has to say about Mao, but we believe this document is of great
interest as it shows that among comrades from a Maoist background there
is a rethinking taking place and the writings of Trotsky have a big
role to play in the process. |

We publish here an article by Ariel Dacal Diaz, Chief Editor at the
politics section of Social Sciences Publishers, a leading publishing
house in Cuba. This is a contribution to the ongoing debate about the
collapse of Stalinism in the Soviet Union which is taking place within
Cuba. The author explains clearly how the rise of the Soviet
bureaucracy meant a clear break with Bolshevism and shows how it was
precisely this bureaucracy which led the restoration of capitalism in
the USSR. |

We received this short letter from Mordachai Peargut in Israel on
September 11, who has a different reason for remembering that day. It reminds
him of the relatively high standards the welfare state had reached in Britain
after the Second World War, that is before they started to dismantle it in the
1970s. |

Nothing happening today can compare to what may occur in Venezuela this month.
The world that is falling around us seems determined to recover, in a few days,
the lost years in a collective amnesia. History openly winks at us to prevent us
from letting the moment pass once again. The brutal strengthening of the
blockade of my country, using the constitution of the United States, the
insecurity in Iraq, Sharon, his walls and Satanic arrogance; Kosovo ...
Everything is turning Humanity into its own accomplice. The ethical decadence of
imperialism is not giving this country time enough to recover the pillars of the
first blessed republic of Lincoln. The Statue of Liberty will soon take on the
colors of illegal French immigration. See the original in Spanish:

This article was originally written in July for the anniversary of the
death of Theodor Herzl, regarded by many as the founder of modern Zionism. It
gives an interesting insight into the character and nature of this reactionary
who dreamt of taking the land of a whole people. |

On November 7, 1878, one of the most principled revolutionary of all times was born. Lev Davidovich Bronstein, known as Leon Trotsky, admired by some and hated by others ... forgotten by the majority, except by the stubborn events. At 125 years since his birth, the incapacity of capitalism to offer humanity an alternative for survival and the disastrous backlash of European socialism, we stand in front of a small house in Coyoacán, Mexico. The flag with the hammer and sickle, last symbol of the socialist revolution, continues to wave in silent tribute to the death of its last inhabitant. See the original in Spanish:
