Another round of betrayals! Pentecostal Madness By Didi Cheeka The In Defence of Marxism Manifesto on the Imperialist War against Iraq The first phase of the war in Iraq may be over but uncertainty prevails all over, not only Iraq but also the entire Middle East and indeed the world. We have entered a more turbulent period in the history of humanity; wars and all sorts of barbaric acts prevail. This manifesto though written weeks before the war remains unbelievably relevant in explaining the unfolding processes. It is a further confirmation of correctness of Marxism as a tool of analysis. Some of the outstanding works of the two authors of this article have been published in the past editions of the Workers' Alternative. The "Manifesto on the imperialist war against Iraq" is a must for anybody who want to join the struggle for change or believes that change is possible and that hope is not lost.
