| By David van Wyk in South Africa The recent death of Eugene Terre Blanche, leader of the AWB (Afrikaner Resistance Movement), at the hands of two farm workers, has highlighted the situation that exists today in South Africa, on the one hand the many unresolved problems of the huge majority of black workers and poor, and on the other a minority within the white population who cannot reconcile themselves to the end of Apartheid, upon which their privileges depended. | By Séamus Loughlin The ICTU leaders recently consulted their members over the "Public Sector agreement". Most of the public sector unions have been rejecting the deal, which reveals that the workers are prepared to fight. But are the leaders up to the task? | By In Defence of Marxism  We are pleased to announce the new website and paper of the Venezuelan "Corriente Marxista International" (International Marxist Tendency). The paper and website are called " Lucha de Clases (Class Struggle) - Voice of PSUV Marxist workers and youth" (see front page). The comrades have actively participated in the debates taking place at the PSUV congress. The reason for the setting up of this new organisation was the sectarian drift of part of the leadership of the old CMR (Corrienta Marxista Revolucionaria). When a sizeable group of comrades starting criticising these sectarian mistakes, they were bureaucratically expelled (including militants in the occupied factories Inveval, Gotcha and INAF). | By In Defence of Marxism
April 11-13 marks 8 years since the revolutionary movement of the masses swiftly defeated the counter-revolutionary coup in Venezuela. It is worth re-reading this article by Alan Woods and Ted Grant, which was widely circulated amongst working class activists in Venezuela at the time and laid basis for the formation of the Marxist tendency. The tasks outlined at the end of the article remain, mostly, unfulfilled. Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Venezuela | | | | ESPAÑOL | | By Comité de Redacciòn - Lucha de Clases
La revolución bolivariana pasa ahora por una dura encrucijada: o radicaliza la revolución, o estará en serio peligro. Ya un sector de la llamada "derecha endógena" ha empezado a aprovecharse de la crisis económica en que nos ha metido la burguesía como clase social dominante. El capitalismo ha fracasado como sistema económico mundial. Ante el gran debate que hoy en día se abre en las filas del PSUV, los militantes pesuvistas agrupados en torno al periódico Lucha de Clases queremos hacer nuestro aporte al conjunto de la militancia. Decimos con total claridad: es el momento de acabar con la propiedad privada de los grandes medios de producción, de la banca, de la tierra. Editorial del primer número del periódico Lucha de Clases. | By In Defence of Marxism Se cumplen ocho años del golpe contra-revolucionario en Venezuela, que fue rápidamente derrotado por la acción de las masas. Vale la pena re-leer el artículo que escribieron Alan Woods y Ted Grant en aquel entonces, que fue ampliamente circulado entre los activistas clasistas y sentó las bases para construcción de la corriente marxista. La mayoría de tareas que se plantean en las conclusiones, siguen pendientes. Revolución y contrarrevolución en Venezuela | |
| | OTHER LANGUAGES | | By Alan Woods Penerbitan Revolusi yang Dikhianati edisi Bahasa Indonesia adalah sebuah peristiwa yang penting dan patut dirayakan oleh seluruh kaum Marxis revolusioner dimanapun. Dengan populasi 230 juta, Indonesia adalah negara terpadat keempat di dunia. Indonesia memiliki populasi muslim yang terbesar di dunia. Tetapi ia juga memiliki satu sejarah yang revolusioner, yang ditandai oleh kepahlawanan yang besar dan tragedi yang pahit. | By آنا مينوز وآلان وودز | | |
