Ruben Linares of the National Coordinating Committee of the Venezuelan UNT visited Britain for a week, hosted by the Hands Off Venezuela campaign. The visit was part of the successful national conference of HOV, which he addressed. Ruben stands on the left of the union and was extremely pleased by the visit, which allowed him to meet with a large number of trade unionists, including representatives of the TUC. He addressed the National Executives of the rail union, the RMT, and the fire-fighters union, the FBU. He spoke to members of the international department of the TUC and also met Brendan Barber, its General Secretary and also addressed a meeting of Members of Parliament at the House of Commons, sponsored by John McDonnell MP. |

Las elecciones parlamentarias han transcurrido con relativa calma a pesar del clima enrarecido que había creado la campaña adelantada por una desmoralizada oposición que prefirió “botar tierrita” y dedicarse al boicot usando su poder mediático para confundir en base a lo que se esperaba iba a ser un alto nivel de abstención y usarlo como triunfo propio. |

La lotta della Valsusa è piombata al centro del dibattito politico nazionale. La polizia ha spezzato il presidio della popolazione della valle per mezzo di una repressione brutale nei confronti di donne, giovani e vecchi. Ma la mobilitazione dei lavoratori e della popolazione della Valsusa non si ferma: in una lotta da cui dipende il loro futuro, hanno compreso a caro prezzo il carattere repressivo dello Stato borghese e, nonostante ciò, sono determinati ad andare fino in fondo. |

Globalisation really means the rise of the American Empire. That was the capitalist story of the 20th century. The story of the 21st century will probably be the fall of the American empire as the imbalances in the system unravel. Will the world slip back into some new form of barbarism or will it be replaced by real globalisation, namely world socialism? |

On December 5 a suicide bomber blew himself up in Natanya, Israel, killing several civilains. As we warned a few days ago, one of the instruments Sharon can use in whipping up anti-Arab sentiments among the Jews in Israel is precisely this kind of attack on civilians. It comes conveniently for Sharon at a time when the working class is moving to the left! |

In Venezuela a number of political, community-based and trade union groups have sprung up, as the masses try to take the initiative in the context of a revolutionary offensive. A good example is the case of the workers in the Algodonal Hospital in Caracas who have been struggling for democracy in the workplace and for the right to have a space for trade union and political meetings. We met Johan Rivas who is the general coordinator of the Bolivarian Workers’ Front in Algodonal and a comrade of the CMR (Revolutionary Marxist Current), to talk about the activities that are going on. |

"Lo que nos está importando a todos los revolucionarios es que quien toque un solo cabello de la revolución bolivariana estará manchando la imagen de este mundo, que de verdad no será posible hacerlo mejor sino transitamos de corrida hacia la sociedad socialista." Por Celia Hart |

We recently published an article on the Crisis in Cosmology by Harry Nielsen, which has provoked some comment from readers. Here we publish a letter which, in criticising the article, defends the main theories dominant in contemporary physics. This is followed by a reply which points out that the latest observations should at least lead scientists to question the validity of the Big Bang theory, a theory that dominates the thinking of mainstream physicists in spite of the all evidence. |

The workers and students in Slovenia have awakened. For the first time since Slovenia’s separation from Yugoslavia, workers and students from all across Slovenia came together on November 26 to march for a common goal and to clearly demonstrate that they are prepared to fight against the government’s counter-reforms in education and the economy. |

The supporters of the Hands Off Venezuela campaign in Greece have been working to build up the campaign within the Greek labour movement and youth. The official launch of the campaign on November 25 in the headquarters of the GSEE, the main trade union federation was a successful start. |

The change of leadership at the top of the Israeli Labour Party is still sending shockwaves throughout the whole of Israeli society. Now the new leader will come under immense pressure. Sharon with his new party is also manoeuvring. He can play the game of provoking further conflicts with the Palestinians to re-enforce the siege mentality among the Jews and he can try and trap Labour in a new coalition. These are the two dangers facing Israeli workers. |

We publish this report on the recent "War against Privatisation" conference organised by the Pakistan Trade Union Defence Campaign, which was held this past weekend in Karachi. The Musharraf regime hoped that the privatisation of Pakistan Steel would go unnoticed amidst the trauma and misery caused by the earthquake in Kashmir in October. The PTUDC brought together some 400 delegates representing workers and trade unions from around the country to organise the struggle against the selling off of Karachi Steel. |

On Saturday December 3rd over 200 people attended the founding conference of the British Hands Off Venezuela campaign at the main hall of the London headquarters of NATFHE – the union of lecturers in further education. It was attended by people from all over Britain. The majority were activists in the British labour and trade union movement, although there was also a large number of youth and students. |

We have received this report from the PTUDC in Kashmir. The report details the relief operation in the three main centres of Kashmir, as well as providing some information about a new student federation that is being organized to help in the relief work. Unfortunately the comrades have been unable to recover the goods of the Fifth Solidarity Caravan, and the goods of the Sixth Caravan are also being held up at the border. It seems that the state is actively sabotaging our campaign! We must put pressure on the state to release the relief goods! |

In this last chapter, Lal Khan looks at the future for Kashmir and the subcontinent. Bourgeois diplomacy has failed the people of Kashmir, and capitalism and fundamentalism have created disaster after disaster and offer no way out. The liberation of Kashmir and the completion of a successful revolution can only be achieved and sustained with the revolutionary overthrow of the present regimes in India and Pakistan and the establishment of a socialist federation of the subcontinent. |

Last Friday Italy was shaken by yet another general strike. Tomorrow the engineering workers march on Rome. On Saturday there is a protest against detention centres for illegal immigrants. Last October 25th, 70,000 students protested in Rome. The right wing Berlusconi government is under constant pressure from the workers and youth. It could be brought down today if it were not for the trade union leaders and leaders of the left parties. |

The regime in Pakistan is indeed a callous one. Not only did it show little concern for the hundreds of thousands hit by the quake in Kashmir and Northern Pakistan, now it wants to exploit this moment of bewilderment among the masses to speed up the process of privatization, starting with the Karachi Steel Mills. The PTUDC is mobilizing, starting with a conference of union and workers delegates this Saturday in Karachi. |

We received this solidarity appeal from the Union of Workers of the National Philharmonic Orchestra. These workers are appealing to all workers' organisations to support these comrades and the demand that this state musical institution follow policies in agreement with the revolutionary policies as stated by President Chavez, who has insisted that the Bolivarian government cannot accept any attacks on workers’ rights. |

Hacemos un llamado de clase a todos los colectivos de trabajadores intelectuales y manuales de la ciudad y el campo, así como a todas las organizaciones revolucionarias a que apoyen a estos compañeros y exijan una política al frente de esta institución musical pública cónsona con los lineamientos revolucionarias que ha planteado el Presidente Chávez quien ha insistido en que un Estado revolucionario no puede aceptar ataques a los derechos de los trabajadores. |

La retirada de los principales partidos opositores (AD, COPEI y –tras varias horas de división interna e incertidumbre- finalmente también de Primero Justicia) de las elecciones legislativas del 4 de diciembre forma parte de un nuevo intento por parte del imperialismo de deslegitimar la victoria arrolladora de los candidatos bolivarianos que se prevé para este domingo y de iniciar una nueva ofensiva desestabilizadora contra la revolución venezolana. |
