Under capitalism if there is no profit, there is no
production even if people need things or services. Therefore, over the last 25
years there has been a massive expansion of the unproductive sectors of the capitalist
economy, i.e. a massive increase in fictitious capital. This is now expressing
itself in what may be the worst crisis for more than 30 years.

Canada has one of the highest levels of strikes in
any country in the world. It has also experienced several factory occupations
over the past year or so. Now its giant neighbour, the USA is in recession.
Canada is facing a turbulent period, where all relations, economic,
political and social, will be turned upside down.

After the Easter 1916
uprising the actual class conditions that motivated the likes of James Connolly
and the trade unionists who set up the Irish Citizen's Army to battle capitalism
were written out of history. Radical ideas were demonised and Connolly's Marxism
was airbrushed from history.

On March 12, 145,000 workers took part in
a massive work stoppage in Slovenia. Rising inflation and low wages are pushing
the workers onto the path of class struggle. In line with the process of
radicalisation taking place across Europe, the Slovenian workers are beginning
to mobilise in a big way.

A key historical document that analyses the important question of
"proletarian bonapartism", i.e. Stalinism, in the former colonial
countries. Previously it was available in an edited version. Here we
reproduce the full text. It explains the roots of the Chinese
revolution and why the Maoist regime came into conflict with the Soviet
Union, and also the nature of several similar regimes that came into
being in that period. It was also the basis for the expulsion of Ted
Grant and his followers from Mandel's so-called Unified Secretariat of
the Fourth International.

When the coalition
forces marched into Baghdad
in March 2003, the imperialists were full of confidence. The things they
were going to do! Intoxicated by the power of their military machine, they
predicted a glowing future for Iraq
and the Middle East. How different things are
now!

Yesterday Greece
was shaken by a massive general strike, the third in three months. An extremely
militant mood is developing among the Greek workers. This is also being
reflected in a sharp swing to the left in all recent polls. In particular, the
Synaspismos, which stands to the left of the PASOK, is making big gains.
