Two days ago Mussa
Arafat (the cousin of the late Yasser Arafat) was assassinated after a
45-minute shoot out. While all this was going on no police turned up, which
indicates that someone at the top wanted his removal. Who and what is behind
this killing?

Official figures
reveal that US corporate profits as share of GDP have moved up from lows in
2001 to reach near record levels in 2005. But if you look over the much longer
term, US profits are still below the levels achieved in the 'golden years' of
capitalism back in the 1960s. The steady decline of the ability of capitalists
to extract profits from their workforces is revealed even more clearly when we
look at the profit figures before tax. |

En la ultima trinchera de combate del Che Guevara, en la Bolivia de la
revolución, es muy probable que el Movimiento Al Socialismo (MAS) con
su discurso de nacionalización del gas y su estrategia de defensa de la
“democracia” gane las elecciones generales de diciembre. Ante esto es
un menester que los marxistas revolucionarios nos dotemos de una
política correcta hacia el movimiento político de los trabajadores. |

upcoming elections in Egypt.
32 million Egyptians are eligible to vote on September 7, but how many will
vote is a big question.

Last week riots erupted in several cities on the Caribbean island of Jamaica. According
to the Jamaican newspaper Jamaica Gleaner, the riots began after the island’s national electricity
provider announced a rise in electricity tariffs. However, the protests were
also directed against decaying public infrastructure such as roads and sewage,
low wages, and the increasing violence on the island. |

The recent
declaration by the leadership of the Provisional IRA that the armed struggle is
over has been reported in the media as an historic turning point and a
fundamental departure in Irish politics. In spite of the rhetoric, however,
there has not been one single step in the direction of a united Ireland. At least a section of the Provisional Republican
movement will now be feeling demoralised and betrayed. They and many others, especially
the young people who have just started to become involved in politics, will
want to know - what next? |

Hurricane Katrina will be remembered for years to come as an important turning point in the USA. Thousands, tens of thousands of poor people have been left to fend for themselves, many dying dehydrated, in what is the richest country in the world. People are noting that the Bush administration, very quick to mobilize a huge army to invade Iraq, has been painfully slow in helping the people of New Orleans. The class question is emerging clearly and this will have profound effects on the whole of US society. |

A comment on the
glaring class contradictions that Hurricane Katrina has thrown up. While the
poor are accused of looting, the rich loot legally by profiting even from this
disaster. |

Venezuela was the first country to offer help to the United States in dealing with the effects of Hurricane
Katrina. Chavez has offered money and personnel to help in the relief
operations. The answer of an unnamed "senior State official" was that
“unsolicited offers can be counterproductive." They would rather some of
their own people died than have the people of the USA see Venezuela for what it is, a country where its people are
challenging the very capitalist system upon which so much poverty and
devastation is based. |

De verdad no lo pensamos nunca. Nos han sometido por años a tanta
injusticia; se ha esmerado tanto la última administración de Estados
Unidos en hacernos padecer de desesperanza crónica y es tanto el odio
concentrado el que se destila desde esas autoridades hacia la
revolución cubana, que el día 9 de agosto constituyó para nuestro
pueblo un verdadero milagro.

Más de uno lloró de emoción en Cuba al recibir la noticia. Sólo una
razón muy poderosa podría provocar lágrimas a un pueblo recio y curtido
en mil batallas. Si en determinados momentos de su historia su llanto
enérgico y viril ha hecho temblar a la injusticia, ahora este afloraba
para celebrar una decisión que hace valedera la justicia. |

The
dispute that erupted at the Gate Gourmet company in August is symptomatic of
what is really happening in the British labour movement. The strike of the Gate
Gourmet workers received strong support from the workers at British Airways who
paralysed Heathrow Airport and inflicted heavy losses on the company. The
class solidarity expressed in this dispute is an indication of what is to come
throughout the whole of the British labour movement. |

Several months ago
there was a report in some British papers of an unusual speech by the Governor
of the Bank of England, Mervyn King. The speech gives a glimpse of a discussion
that must have recently taken place amongst the British capitalists, and which
the Gate Gourmet dispute is a direct consequence of. It is about the use of
cheap immigrant labour to drive down wages and worsen working conditions. |

Los pasados 6 y 7 de agosto se celebró en la Facultad de Ingeniería de
la Universidad de Buenos Aires el Encuentro Nacional Sindical cuyo
objetivo inicial era acordar el lanzamiento de una Corriente Sindical
de oposición a las actuales direcciones burocráticas del movimiento
obrero, dotada de un carácter democrático y antipatronal, y opuesta a
la conciliación de clases practicada por los dirigentes de la CGT y la
CTA. |
