"How the working class went global" - Book Review
By Julian Sharpe   
Thursday, 10 April 2008
This is a book that every young activist, trade unionist or socialist will want to read. The book, based on historical examples from the past 190 years, shows that the workers are facing basically the same problems as ever, in spite of what any of our "post-modernist" friends would like us to believe.

Chavez re-nationalises SIDOR – historic victory for the workers
By Jorge Martin - www.marxist.com   
Wednesday, 09 April 2008
After the cement industry, now Chavez has nationalised SIDOR with its 15,000 workforce. This has come about thanks to the pressure of the SIDOR workers who were able to contact Chavez directly. The decision is a correct one. It must now be followed by a general nationalisation of the commanding heights of the Venezuelan economy and finally complete the revolution.

Egyptian April 6 - a dress rehearsal for bigger events in the future
By Jean Duval and Fred Weston   
Monday, 07 April 2008
Yesterday, Sunday, April 6, the workers of Egypt were preparing for what could have been a very powerful general strike. The state intervened heavily at the Mahalla textile plant arresting 150 workers. These methods cannot stop the growing wave of working class militancy and will only serve to increase the determination of the workers. The workers ‘intifada' which erupted later that day in the city is proof of this.

The high priests of the European Central Bank
By Mauro Vanetti   
Friday, 04 April 2008
A recent bulletin of the European Central Bank (ECB) dealt with the causes of recent increases in the rate of inflation within the "Eurozone". It is no surprise to find that what they are concerned about are wage increases. Like the high priests in the past they try to cover up reality and make us believe in a fantasy world.

[Ted Grant Archive Update] - The I.L.P. at the Crossroads
By Ted Grant in 1945   
Friday, 04 April 2008
In early 1945 the radical mood within the British working class was preparing a landslide victory for the Labour Party. In this context the I.L.P. leadership raised the idea of re-affiliation to the L.P., but gave no explanation for its 13 years of independent existence. Here Ted Grant provided a sober-minded Marxist approach to the question of the Labour Party and the mass organizations of the working class in general.
