The Executive Council of the Alberta Federation of Labour has come out
in support of the Hands Off Venezuela (HOV) campaign in Canada. Here is the letter
they are circulating to all their local union presidents urging them to
endorse and support HOV. This is a huge step forward for the solidarity
campaign in Canada. |

Parliamentary elections took place in Poland on
September 25. The victory of the right wing is a direct consequence of the pro-capitalist
policies of the outgoing Democratic Left Alliance government. The vote is against
those policies rather than for the right wing.

The idea that Brown
has been secretly opposed to privatisation, to the war in Iraq, to the Labour
government’s assault on civil liberties ‑ but keeping quiet through ‘loyalty’
(to his career that is, not to the Labour Party or working class Labour voters)
‑ is patently absurd. Both should go. |

Für eine breite Solidaritätskampagne mit der iranischen
ArbeiterInnenbewegung. Spätestens seit den Präsidentschafts“wahlen“ im
Juni, bei denen der Ultrakonservative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad an die Macht
kam, sind die Blicke der Weltöffentlichkeit auf den Iran gerichtet.
Dabei wird der Iran vor allem angesichts seiner aggressiven Atompolitik
als Gefahr dargestellt. |

On Thursday 8 September, Ukrainian President Viktor
Yuschenko fired Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko and her cabinet. After all the
hype of the “orange revolution” it is business as usual in the degenerate world
of Ukrainian politics, a den of thieves who have a flair for stabbing each
other in the back. |

The
tragedy of the Ukrainian workers is that all the parties, including the
Socialist and Communist Parties, have links with business groups, and are the
mouthpieces for these business interests. This article, originally written in
Russian in February, gives some useful background information to what is
happening now in the Ukraine. |

The 2005 Labour Party
Conference marks a significant shift in the situation in Britain. It deserves careful study by Marxists and by every
trade union and Labour activist. It was chiefly marked by a sharp conflict
between the Party leadership and the trade unions |

Anyone
who doubted the wider implication for civil liberties of Blair’s ‘anti-terror’
legislation need look no further than the Labour Party Conference in Brighton.
82-year-old Walter Wolfgang, who fled Nazi Germany in 1937, was roughly
manhandled out of the hall by a pair of heavies |

The
recent announcement that the Provisional IRA had decommissioned all its weapons
has been drowned out by the blasts of the loyalist paramilitaries using theirs.
The Good Friday Agreement is dead. Instead of peace we have a dramatic increase
in extreme sectarian violence. More than ever the call for working class unity
in the struggle for socialism is the only answer. |
