In a matter of days, all of the contradictions that have been building over the last four years in British Columbia have come to the fore. Gordon Campbell's mis-named Liberals have spent their time in power attacking the working class. This has been met with several waves of unrest. Now this battle is reaching new heights. The province stands on the brink of an all-out general strike. |

This article from the English daily DAWN in Pakistan explains that the team of doctors coming with the Indian relief delegation to go along with MP Manzoor Ahmed and the Revolutionary Solidarity Caravan have been denied access to Pakistan. This clearly exposes the rottenness of the Musharraf regime and shows how little the dictatorship is concerned about the victims of the earthquake.

Tomorrow the Iraqi people are being called to vote on the new Constitution. This piece of paper is full of contradictions that mean that in practice most of it cannot be applied, but the main thing for the US (and British) occupying powers is that it establishes clearly the right to private property and market relations. All the rest is a mere showpiece. |

La tragedia se extiende en el Sureste de México como resultado del paso del huracán Stan; sus resultados se dejaron sentir en Oaxaca, Puebla, Guerrero y, sobre todo, Michoacán, Chiapas y Veracruz; se estima, hasta el momento de escribir estas líneas, que los afectados directa e indirectamente rondan los dos millones y medio de persona. |

The initial shock of the earthquake in Pakistan and Azad Kashmir is beginning to turn into anger as millions of people are left without shelter in the cold and rain. The PTUDC’s international solidarity campaign has swung into action raising well over £1000 over the last few days. The response to our appeal has been truly amazing, but we need to raise more money to pay for the supplies, convoys, and medicines that we will be sending to the worst affected areas of Kashmir and Pakistan. |

The introduction of the “market economy”, i.e. capitalism, in China is provoking massive social contradictions: extreme poverty at one end, extreme wealth at the other. But a gigantic proletariat is also being created, the “gravediggers” of capitalism, as Marx used to say. |

Following on from the letter we published a few weeks ago, another reader in China has added his thoughts to the discussion. He highlights particularly the growing disparity between different social layers in Chinese society, a result of the development of capitalism, which is destroying all the gains of the past. |
