Portuguese capitalism is one of the sick men of Europe. The "cure" the capitalists have in mind involves
severe attacks on wages and working conditions. But now a backlash is taking
place with huge strikes and demonstrations shaking the country, which is also
producing radicalisation on the left.

 Friday, March 2,
witnessed a huge mobilisation of the Portuguese working class with 150,000
workers on the streets of Lisbon
protesting against the “centre-left” Socialist government's
economic policies. Not since the
glorious days of the revolution of the 1970s have we seen such a mobilisation.

"Capitalism is dead in Portugal" wrote the Times in 1975. And yet today it
lives. How was it able to survive? What lessons can we learn from the Portuguese
Revolution of 1974?

The defeat of the Portuguese socialists in the last round of local elections on December 18 has provoked the resignation
of A. Guterres (the Portuguese Prime Minister and leader of the Socialist Party), and the calling of early elections in
March. The main reason for the defeat has been Guterres' right-wing policies. This was not what the Portuguese workers
had voted for. |

The movement of the Portuguese workers has been an inspiration to working
people everywhere. After fifty years of brutal oppression under a fascist state,
the Portuguese workers have demonstrated their unconquerable will to change
society.

After nearly half a century of Fascist dictatorship the revolution in Portugal ushered
in a new stage of the European and World Revolution. Beginning as a military
pronunciamento or coup it has shown what inexhaustible reserves of strength and endurance
rest within the ranks of the working class, because of its role in society.
