More
than a decade ago, with the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the strategists of
Capital launched an unprecedented ideological offensive against socialism and
Marxism. For them, capitalism had won. But while the forces of socialism were
isolated in this period, the ground was being prepared for a titanic shift to
the left. We are witnessing this now all over the world. |

When the 'Great Deal'
on poverty and debt was announced at the G8 binge in Scotland in July, some people rushed to cheer it. Now, as the
real facts come out, the truth confirms the G8 promises for what they really
were. |

leading bourgeois daily paper in Venezuela. It is hostile to the Bolivarian Revolution and

The International
Marxist Tendency organised an international school in Barcelona this summer.
Around 250 comrades gathered from all over the world. There were key
discussions on Venezuela, Cuba, China and many other questions. Victor Rios, a
veteran of the Spanish communist movement and now an advisor to Chavez spoke.
The mood was one of enthusiasm and optimism for the future. |

The TUC voted unanimously in support of the Venezuelan Revolution. This
makes the TUC the first trade union confederation in Europe to give
support to the Venezuelan Revolution. Orlando Chirino, accompanied by
Hands Off Venezuela (HOV) supporters received massive applause as he
stood with clenched fist in the gallery. This is the culmination of
months of intensive work by the HOV campaign. |

Yesterday there was a
gigantic rally of protest in Lagos. The mood of anger simmering below the
surface for so long is now erupting onto the streets of the cities and towns of
Nigeria. This process marks the beginning of the end of the Obasanjo regime.
Nigeria is poised to join the many other countries where the masses have
successfully overthrown rotten regimes that are there only to serve the rich. |

At
the end of August the Obasanjo regime in Nigeria upped the price of fuel massively. This has
provoked widespread anger among the workers and poor. Today the first of a
series of rallies is taking place. Here we publish the text of a special
leaflet produced for the occasion by the Nigerian Marxists of the Workers’
Alternative journal. |

We’ve
seen disgruntled public service workers taking action all over Canada in the
last year or so – whether it be teachers in Québec, twenty-thousand
Newfoundland public sector workers, Ontario’s Hydro One workers, or the members
of the Hospital Employees’ Union. The increasing labour unrest culminated this
summer when private sector workers stepped onto the scene in a major way with
the victorious Truckers’ strike. |

Management
at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is trying to force through a new
contract on their employees – a contract eliminating restrictions on the
broadcaster's ability to contract out work instead of hiring full-time
employees. They have now applied a lock-out and it looks like it is going to a
long and bitter struggle. |

The recent elections
in Egypt were in no way democratic. What they reflect is the
pressure of imperialism that wishes somehow to stop the unstoppable, that is
the inevitable movement of the masses from below. But the change is only
cosmetic and the masses can see through this. |

No
one union alone can successfully fight the present anti-union laws. But imagine
if the TUC were to lead a major protest against the laws in every workplace and
organised on behalf of 7 million union members a direct challenge to those laws
- that would have more effect than any number of seminars and workshops and
would put unions in a stronger position to win. |

National Union of Journalists and by Hands Off Venezuela. NATFHE will
move a resolution in support of Venezuela and the progressive policies
of the government of president Hugo Chávez, committing the TUC to work

unionists. |

Three Amicus members
of staff have been suspended
from their jobs in the union. All three are leading members of the
broad left that was instrumental in defeating the right wing and
getting Derek Simpson elected as General Secretary. No reason has been
given
for their suspension. It is obviously a politically motivated attack.
Please
take part in the campaign to get the three reinstated. |

The
British government and the Metropolitan Police are now trying to sweep under
the carpet the brutal execution of Jean Charles de Menezes on July 22. We must
not allow this to happen. This young, innocent, Brazilian man - an electrician
by trade, just 27 years of age - is the latest victim of the so-called “war on
terror”, but also of the undermining of civil liberties and the strengthening
of the powers of the capitalist state. |
