United States: New threats against immigrants
Soldiers and racists are patrolling the border

The White House is responding to Governor Jan Brewer’s law and to the intensification of activity by racist and xenophobic groups with ... an unenthusiastic lawsuit. This is how Obama plans to confront a law that social, political and human rights organizations are already condemning as the institutionalization of racism!



Cuba: After the release of the dissidents
The Castro government is preparing new austerity measures against the masses

Latin America
US soldiers, get out of Costa Rica!

Military penetration of the country only corresponds to the US plans of militarization (led by Obama), the aim of which is put what they consider their backyard under complete control, before possible social upheavals, while they continue taking positions in alliance with, and with the complete backing of the local governments.



European economic crisis
France: An impressive one-day strike and mobilization

The one-day strike on June 24 against Sarkozy’s pension reform had big repercussions. Although it was not as big as last year’s day-long strikes, it was the biggest strike since September, with around 2 million demonstrators in the streets, according to the unions.



European economic crisis
Italy: A strike against austerity!

Both the strike and the resistance by the Fiat workers in Naples, show that there exists a willingness to confront the austerity plans they want to impose, but at the same time it shows the impotent politics of the CGIL leadership.



Against hunger wages
Strike and workers’ mobilization in Bangladesh

On June 21, in Bangladesh, more than 50,000 working men and women mobilized on the outskirts of Dhaka, the capital. This mobilization, which blocked one of the main highways that connect the capital to the northern part of the country, was the culmination of two weeks of protests, strikes and street actions in the main industrial districts.

YES to Stefani Workers, NO to the Kirchner Government and Cutral Co

Socialists and cops
The left and the "police family": Partido Obrero and Izquierda Socialista regarding the police: Reform or dissolution?

The role of the police, as a "band of armed men," is that of defending capitalist private property through the monopoly of force; that is why, for revolutionary socialists, there is no question of reforming that reactionary institution, but of putting an end to it.



Middle East
Afghanistan: Obama’s war in crisis

Just like in Vietnam, Obama’s "good war" is turning into a nightmare for US imperialism.



Middle East
A new crime of Zionist state

On May 31, the Israeli navy opened fire on an international flotilla that was trying to deliver a cargo of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and in that way break the brutal air, land and maritime blockade imposed by the State of Israel and Egypt since the beginning of 2007, with the explicit support of the United States and the European Union.



Mitsubishi Motors
On how a Japanese multinational and the Chávez government are joining together in order to crush workers’ resistance with brutality

If any struggle is symbolic, from which we must draw lessons, it is that of the comrades at Mitsubishi, who not only confronted the Japanese multinational, but faced the opposition of the national government itself, through the Ministry of Labor.



Homosexuality
Socialism and the homosexual question

Down with sexual oppression! Down with all the laws and regulations that discriminate against and repress gays, lesbians, transvestites, and transsexuals! Full rights for non-heterosexual people!



Brasil
Strike in Sao Paulo University

The USP workers, who have been on strike for 37 days, ended the struggle when the Chancellor João Grandino Rodas, representative of the San Pablo governor, Jose Serra, conceded a 6% salary increase for the professors, excluding the non-teaching workers.

Neuquén, Argentina


The frigid night preserved the eco of the war song of many long days of struggle, which of course was also present in that moment. “Long live the Zanon struggle, long live worker control, because this factory is the peoples, in Zanon they shall not pass”.
