At the beginning of
February the Esquerda Marxista (Marxist Left) group in Brazil held its
congress, where they unanimously voted in favour of their affiliation to the
International Marxist Tendency. The addition of this important grouping, which
gathers within its ranks leaders of the occupied factories, of the Black
Socialist Movement, important trade unionists and many revolutionary youth,
marks a major milestone in the building of a genuine Marxist International in
Latin America and the world.
José Carlos Miranda of the Black Socialist Movement and
Roque José Ferreira of the FNITST-CUT (Railway workers), spoke in the Brazilian
parliament against the new race laws being proposed by the government on
November 26. Here we provide the videos.
After 40 days of suffering and struggle, the workers of
Flasko (the worker-occupied factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil) managed to re-establish
electricity supply to the factory from the CPFL electricity company.
