A new stage in the crisis of capitalism part five By Alan Woods The loss of belief in the existing society, its institutions, laws and morality, is a prior condition for revolution. But such a change does not happen all at once. Gradually, to the degree that the given socio-economic system begins to fail, the feeling grows that "something is not right" with society, that some kind of change is necessary. [Part one] China: victory for striking Honda workers By Jorge Martín The workers at the Foshan Honda plant in China won a 35% wage increase after taking strike action which started on May 17. The agreement, which was reached on June 4, represents an average monthly pay rise of 500 yuan. A regular front-line worker whose wages were 1544 yuan before, will see his wages increased to 2044 yuan after the pay rise - a raise of 32.4%. The intern employees, who represent a large part of the workforce and have played a key role in the strike but receive much lower wages, will get a raise of 634 yuan from the current rate of 900 - a raise of more than 70%.

ESPAÑOL México: La PFP toma la mina de Cananea, es necesaria una Huelga General para enfrentar el ataque By Ubaldo Oropeza El día domingo la Policía Federal tomo por asalto la histórica mina de Cananea, cuna de la revolución contra la dictadura porfiriana. A 100 años la historia se repite, pero esta vez como farsa. En vez de la dictadura de Porfirio Díaz tenemos a un payaso brabucón que defiende a capa y espada los intereses de la burguesía nacional e internacional y aplasta a las organizaciones de los trabajadores que les son incomodas. Fue el 6 de junio, de hace 100 años, cuando la mina regresaba a la "normalidad" después del asesinato de 26 trabajadores, ahora, cien años después, la mina es tomada por la policía para "regresarla a la normalidad".  OTHER LANGUAGES Η κρίση του ευρωπαϊκού καπιταλισμού - Μέρος Α΄ By Άλαν Γουντς Η Ευρώπη αντιμετωπίζει μια παρατεταμένη περίοδο λιτότητας, με αποφασιστική συρρίκνωση της παραγωγής, της κατανάλωσης και της απασχόλησης. Η κρίση έχει αρχίσει από τις μικρότερες και πιο ευάλωτες χώρες όπως η Ελλάδα, η Πορτογαλία και η Ιρλανδία. Αλλά και οι άλλες θα ακολουθήσουν, ξεκινώντας από την Βρετανία.
