Workers' Liberty | For international working class solidarity and socialism
The political debates leading up and during the Spanish Revolution (1936-7) were critical in deciding the fate of the Spanish workers' movement. A 1947 article on James Connolly in Workers' Republic, the journal of the Revolutionary Socialist Party, Irish Section of the Fourth International, reproduced in Labor Action (paper of the US Trotskyist group led by Max Shachtman, Hal Draper, and others). There are essentially two Bayard Rustins: the one up to 1963 who was a radical pacifist not linked to Max Shachtman or to the Socialist Party and after 1963 focused on making links between the civil rights movement and the trade union movement. This leaflet was produced by the Irish Trotskyists of the Revolutionary Socialist Party in 1948.
It has been several weeks since Obama announced that the G8 will be meeting at the militarized Camp David, rather than in Chicago. Activists are still ambiguous about the move, even as we publicly declare victory. On one hand, the withdrawal of G8 demonstrates the power of the protestors, and Chicago-area organizers in particular, to kick out this monstrous budget-draining summit.

Mandel'in Marksizm'e Giriş'inin beşinci baskısı, Daniel Bensaid'in, yapıtı tarihsel bağlamına oturtan ve onu bir dizi anahtar sorunla güncelleştiren "Otuzuncu yılında Marksizm'e Giriş'e eleştirel bir giriş" önsözüyle birlikte yayınlanıyor. Marksizm'e Giriş uzun bir pedagojik deneyimin ürünüdür. İstisnai bir açıklıkla marksist teorinin temellerini -tarihsel materyalizm, marksist ekonomik teori, işçi hareketi tarihi ve işçi hareketinin taktik ve stratejik sorunları- ortaya koyar.
Avec la candidature de Philippe Poutou, le NPA a fait le choix de présenter un ouvrier, un salarié « d’en bas » qui a une vraie légitimité quand il parle de la crise. Un candidat qui ne fait pas de la politique une affaire de professionnels mais qui défend l’engagement de toutes et tous pour transformer la société.À droite, on pense qu’il suffit de se déguiser en « candidat du peuple » durant quelques semaines de campagne pour faire oublier que pendant cinq ans on a été « le président des riches ». Lamentable tentative que celle de Nicolas Sarkozy pour relancer une opération séduction auprès des catégories populaires, lui qui s’en est si peu soucié hormis pour leur faire payer durement la crise. Le 29 mars, des millions de personnes étaient en grève et manifestaient contre la réforme du code du travail que veut imposer le gouvernement de droite. Entretien avec Raul Camargo, membre du secrétariat confédéral de Izquierda Anticapitalista.

While the vote to postpone the two-tier tuition system is being cast as a victory for students opposed to the attack on public education and police repression on campus, in reality it is only a maneuver to buy time. The ongoing labour unrest in China is a sign that its slowing economic growth is driving the working class into a confrontation with the government. By Jean Shaoul, 10 April 2012 Recently released documents show that Israel’s Civil Administration, part of the Defence Ministry, has long earmarked up to 10 percent of the West Bank for new settlements or the expansion of existing ones.
