Iran 22 Khordad 1389: Yet again the masses come to the rescue, Yet again Mousavi is dragged behind the movement By Hamid Alizadeh On the anniversary of last year's rigged elections in Iran, there were demonstrations on the streets of Iranian cities, in particular in Tehran. But while the youth in particular organised for the day, the so-called "leaders" like Mousavi did what they could to weaken the movement by declaring at the last minute that he was calling off the rallies. This highlights one very important factor: lack of leadership and organisation. That is what is now being discussed in many underground circles and in among exiles. Britain: Budget for bosses - Workers under attack By Steve Jones in Britain "Open for business." These were the words spoken by chancellor George Osborne as he delivered the most vicious anti-working class budget for generations – a budget for big business indeed! Not since the slash and burn days of the National government in the 1930s, or indeed the Thatcher regime of the early 1980s, have so many cuts been presented in one day. Indeed in outlining a target of 25% cutbacks in many areas of government spending, the coalition has gone way beyond anything attempted by previous chancellors in office. [Video] British Hands Off Venezuela conference By Hands Off Venezuela Britain Some 50 activists participated in a very intense day of discussions during the Conference of Hands off Venezuela in London, on May 22. The main guests of the Conference were Katy Jaimes and Elías Chacón, active in the Socialist United Party (PSUV) and the PSUV youth as well as the movement of occupied factories, who had travelled from Venezuela to report on the current situation of the Bolivarian revolution. The Conference also featured a discussion on the Fifth International led off by Alan Woods. Here we present videos of their interventions.

By Fred Weston e Stamatis Karagiannopoulos Negli ultimi tempi la risposta della classe lavoratrice greca alla serie di rigorose misure di austerità è stata magnifica. Abbiamo visto mobilitazioni delle masse, scioperi del settore pubblico e scioperi generali. Nonostante questo, il governo del PASOK ha fatto passare diversi "pacchetti di austerità" e sta preparando ulteriori attacchi. La quindi quindi è legata a dove si sposterà il movimento. Quale sarà il prossimo passo?
