Alan Woods went to Paris
in May 1968 seeking contact with revolutionary workers and youth. He describes
here what he encountered, the mood, and the discussions with workers and students.
He explains how the workers were looking for leadership but never found it,
neither in the ultra-left groups, nor in the Stalinist leadership that betrayed
them.

Baker ridicules the concept of
“scientific consensus”. It is true that the scientific community
does not operate in a vacuum and that it is very often subject to
pressures of politics, religion, social rules, prejudices and also
directly from the market. But this does not invalidate the concept of
scientific consensus altogether.

In
this important pamphlet of May 1958 that we publish now in its entirety, Ted
Grant analysed the Bonapartist character of De Gaulle's regime in the light of
previous historical events. De Gaulle's bid for power was successful not
because of his strength, but because of the treacherous policies of the
Communist and Socialist Party leaders. De Gaulle's victory was an expression of the
crisis of French capitalism and would inevitably open up revolutionary events
and an explosion of the class struggle. While most of the Stalinist, reformist
and sectarian left had written off the French workers as a revolutionary class
before May 1968, Ted Grant's prediction confirmed the correctness of Marxist
analysis.

The question of setting up factory committees has been posed in Venezuela.
Because some of those putting forward this idea belong to the reformist wing of
the Bolivarian movement, the leadership of the UNT unions instead of promoting
them have come out against them. Marxists on the other hand view this as an
opportunity to promote genuine workers' control from below.

The recent barbaric
events in some of the poorest townships of South Africa highlight the dramatic
situation that is developing in the country. The ANC leaders have sold out the
cause the masses struggled for so many years. Apartheid was brought down
but not the system that spawned it. There is an unfinished task to
accomplish.

In spite of the bulk of the population being employed in
agriculture, the main source of revenue for the Nigerian state is the export of
oil. At the moment a lot of money is coming in, and yet poverty and income
inequality have never been so high. When the US
recession finally hits Nigeria
it will have a tremendous impact on the political life of the country.

According to official figures Nigeria is booming, thanks mainly
to the sky-high price of oil. And yet poverty levels are increasing and the gap
between rich and poor has never been so high. There is a lot of talk of boom,
but more and more people are literally becoming hungry, some on the verge of
starvation.
