Back in April the judicial authorities issued threats to imprison the
workers and militants occupying the Cipla and Interfibra factories in
Joinville, Brazil. Now at last the campaign we played a big role in
promoting
has at least achieved a partial victory. Serge Goulart wrote to us
explaining the present state of play. |

We are publishing here a speech given by Phil Mitchinson at the recent
international Marxist school in Barcelona. Dealing with the history of
the centuries old struggle for freedom in Ireland, and the part played
in that history by republicanism and socialism, as well as the political
developments that have led to the current impasse, this should serve as
an introduction to a major article analysing the recent declaration of
the end of the armed struggle by the Provisional IRA which we will be
publishing later this week. |

As we announced a few
weeks ago, on July 25, Pierre Broué passed away. We have published several
articles remembering the role this remarkable man played in the development of the
ideas of Marxism. Here we publish a piece by two Italian Marxists that gives an
interesting insight into the life of Pierre Broué, based on several long
conversations with him in the final years of his life, and on a thorough
reading of his works. |

La posibilidad del tránsito al socialismo es un descubrimiento
científico. No es un poema, ni una manera de hablar. La única forma que
tenemos de acceder a él es a través de la lucha de clases. Así de
sencillo. El socialismo del siglo XXI es tan sólo porque estamos en el
siglo XXI. Aporte desde Cuba por Celia Hart.

The criticism of Marx’s approach essentially boils down to the complaint that he is not an equilibrium economist. This criticism is quite correct. Marx has a fundamentally different method from neoclassical or post-Ricardian economists – dialectical economics. |

When Meghnad Desai comes to discuss this aspect of Marx’s work, this is the area where his ‘equilibrium’ interpretation of Marx’s economics leads him most seriously astray. He seems to imply that Marx can be used to defend the idea of the long-term survival of capitalism, which is something alien to Marx. It is also an oversimplification of what Marx said. |

The socialist calculation debate is usually regarded as beginning in 1920 with a challenge to the socialists thrown down by the right wing Austrian economist von Mises. He opined that rational economic calculation would be impossible in a socialist commonwealth. Unfortunately, the socialists who took up this challenge did not, with the sole exception of Maurice Dobb of the British Communist Party, regard themselves as Marxists. |

have for planet Earth and humanity has been raging for several decades

is clear – our climate is changing.

Marxist economics answers the question ‘how did the many start poor?’ with an analysis of primitive accumulation, the historical process of the dispossession of the toilers from the means of production and creation of a propertyless working class. We then go on to explain capitalist production as the production not just of commodities, but also of rich and poor. Reproduction is the reproduction not just of factories and offices, but of the capitalists who own them and the workers who labour in them. |

The hall was filled to capacity – 12,000 cheering,
banner waving youth from Venezuela and all over Latin America and the rest of
the world. The scene was the “trial” of imperialism, which occupied the entire
weekend and culminated on Sunday afternoon with the testimony of the President
of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. |
