On Wednesday July 11, Perú was paralised by a National Day of Struggle called by the General Confederation of Peruvian Workers (CGTP). These protests could mean the beginning of the end for the Alan García government, which could be overthrown by the mass movement, just as other governments in Ecuador, Bolivia and Argentina have been overthrown in recent years, as part of the revolutionary wave that is engulfing Latin America.

The recent election results in Peru
and Colombia
were hailed by the Latin American bourgeoisie and their imperialist backers as
“anti-Chavez” victories. But if one looks more closely at the figures one sees
that in these two countries there is a growing radicalisation to the left.
Although a little delayed, they are part of the same process.

We are happy to announce the setting up of the website of the Peruvian El Militante (http://peru.elmilitante.org ), the journal of the Marxists of the Fuerza de Izquierda Socialista. The site has been running for some time and is now fully functional. We believe it will play an important role in bring the genuine ideas of Marxism to the workers and youth of Peru. |

Following on from yesterday's article, Fred Weston, updates the situation as it
is unfolding in Peru. At least one student has already been killed in clashes
with the security forces, and the movement does not look at all as if it is
prepared to back off. |

Late Tuesday Alejandro Toledo, president of Peru, declared a 30-day state of
emergency. This was the Peruvian government's response to
growing social tension in the country. A wave of strikes has been sweeping the
country over the past two weeks with more and more workers coming out. |

It is nearly seven years since George Bush, the then president of the US, made his famous
"New World Order" speech. This was in 1991. In the build-up to the Gulf War the
main imperialist power on earth promised a world without wars, without dictatorships and,
of course, a world firmly under the control of a single all- powerful world policeman--the
US. After the fall of Stalinism, US imperialism really thought that the world would be
firmly under their command and they would be able to dictate the destiny of each and every
country. All conflicts in the world were to be solved through dialogue in a kind of
"Pax Americana." Now all these dreams have been reduced to rubble. In this
document Ted Grant and Alan Woods make an in-depth analysis of the history of the
imperialist domination of the Third World and the way. Written in June 1998. |
