Tunisia: one month from the overthrow of Ben Ali. Photo: Nasser NouriToday marks one month since the revolutionary overthrow of the hated dictator Ben Ali in Tunisia on January 14. The last month has been a constant struggle between the ruling class which wants to return to bourgeois normality and workers and youth who carried out the revolution and who are struggling to stop the old regime from trying to make a comeback.

Some Egyptian lessons for Iranian revolutionaries. Photo: 3arabawyContrary to what the bourgeois media claim, revolutions are not made by individual agitators or small groups. They are made by the mass of people and they are prepared for years by the decay of the old system which is no longer able to take society forward. On the other hand, when a society is ripe for revolution, that is, when all the contradictions have accumulated to a critical degree, a small force can play a large role in the events that are about to unfold.

Ante los conflictos que actualmente están dejando paralizada la producción en las empresas de aluminio Alcasa y Venalum, es necesario entender el trasfondo de la lucha por el Control Obrero en las empresas básicas y la implementación del Plan Guayana Socialista. El camarada Jonathan Alzolay hace un breve síntesis histórica para así entender porqué sectores sindicales están saboteando y promoviendo guarimbas.

Le tyran est parti! Après 18 jours de mobilisations révolutionnaires, après plus de 300 morts et des milliers de blessés, Hosni Moubarak a démissionné. C'est une grande victoire, non seulement pour le peuple d'Egypte, mais pour les travailleurs du monde entier. C'est le résultat d'un magnifique mouvement des masses, qui ont tenu tête aux balles et aux matraques de la police, et qui ont courageusement résisté à chacun des assauts de la réaction.


By Alan Woods

Cerca de duas horas após a queda oficial de Mubarak, foi publicado este artigo de Alan Woods com relatos impressionantes das horas que antecederam sua queda e uma análise bastante avançada dos possíveis desdobramentos.


By Alan Woods

Este artigo foi escrito 2 dias antes da queda de Mubarak. Nele, Alan Woods analisa as forças em luta na Revolução Egípcia e, principalmente, mostra o papel de cada uma das classes e personagens que se movem no tabuleiro.


By Alan Woods

De tiran is gevallen! Op het moment dat deze tekst geschreven werd, is Hosni Mubarak net afgetreden. Dit is een grote overwinning, niet alleen voor de bevolking van Egypte, maar ook voor arbeiders over de hele wereld. Na 18 dagen onafgebroken revolutionaire mobilisaties, met 300 doden en duizenden gewonden, is het eindelijk zover: Hosni Mubaraks 30-jarige tirannie is niet meer.


By حمید علیزاده

بر خلاف آن‌چه رسانه‌های بورژوایی مدعی‌اند٬ انقلاب‌ها را مبلغین شخصی یا گروه‌های کوچک نمی‌سازند. آن‌ها را توده‌ی مردم می‌سازند و سال‌های سال انحطاط نظام کهن که دیگر نمی‌تواند جامعه را پیش ببرد تدارک‌شان می‌بیند. از سوی دیگر وقتی جامعه‌ای آماده‌ی انقلاب است یعنی وقتی تناقضات به سطحی خطیر رسیده٬ نیرویی کوچک می‌تواند در رویدادهای پیش رو نقشی بزرگ بازی کند.
