A Lady under whom Britain suffered for 13 Years

By Alan Woods

Exactly twelve months ago, in an article entitled: 2011: - Optimism or pessimism? I wrote the following: "The first effect of the crisis was one of shock, not only for the bourgeois but also for the workers. There was a tendency to cling to jobs and accept cuts in the short term, especially as the union leaders offer no alternative. But this will be replaced by a general mood of anger and bitterness, which will sooner or later begin to affect the mass organisations of the working class."

Thatcher Iron lady meryl streep-thMargaret Thatcher is a hate figure for millions in Britain who suffered under 13 years of her rule. We, who opposed Thatcherism to the bitter end, will never forget the mass unemployment, the cuts, wholesale privatisation and the attacks on the trade unions as well as our democratic rights. Those who fought back were regarded by Thatcher as "the enemy within," a term she used against the National Union of Mineworkers, as they fought for their communities and their jobs. Thatcher represented capitalism 'red in tooth and claw' and we will not forget it.

Nuevamente la atención del mundo esta centrada en Corea del Norte. Esta vez, no se debe a nuevos ensayos nucleares, a la agitación imperialista, o a un enfrentamiento militar con Corea del Sur a lo largo de la frontera más militarizada del mundo. Esta vez, la razón es potencialmente más explosiva: la muerte de Kim Jong-Il.

Είναι δύσκολο να πιστέψει κανείς ότι σε 10 μόνο χρόνια θα κλείσουν τα 100 χρόνια του Μανιφέστου του Κομμουνιστικού Κόμματος. Αυτή η μπροσούρα, που δείχνει το μεγαλύτερο πνεύμα στην παγκόσμια φιλολογία, μας εκπλήσσει ακόμα και σήμερα με την επικαιρότητά-της. Τα πιο σημαντικά τμήματά-της φαίνονται σαν να γράφτηκαν χτες. Βέβαια, οι νεαροί συγγραφείς-της (ο Μαρξ είταν 29 χρονών και ο Έγκελς 27) μπορούσαν να δουν το μέλλον ευρύτερα από οποιονδήποτε προκάτοχό-τους και ίσως κι από οποιονδήποτε μεταγενέστερο.

Marxism and Anarchism-Part One




In Defence of Marxism
  Thursday, 5 January 2012 About us     Contact us     Join us  

By Alan Woods

Marxism and Anarchism - Ralph AichingerThe present period is the most stormy and convulsive period in history. Globalization now manifests itself as a global crisis of capitalism. Given the depth of the crisis and the worsening conditions, things are developing very quickly. The stage isset for a general revival of the class struggle, and in fact, this process has already begun.


By Lal Khan

The year 2011 was perhaps the most turbulent year in recent history. The Arab Spring, the European Summer and the American Fall were an upheaval that traversed the planet. For the first time in history there were demonstrations in more than 900 cities across the world in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the US. The main cause that triggered this massive response of the workers and youth throughout the world was the eruption of a rebellion in the very womb of imperialism.

Como en las reuniones previas, los mercados declararon completamente insatisfactorias los resultados de la misma. Estas reuniones de los mandatarios de la UE son ya una moneda completamente devaluada. Nada ha cambiado a excepción de que las contradicciones nacionales ahora son más agudas e insolubles de lo que antes ya eran.

Nigerian Farce

By Workers' Alternative Editorial Board, Lagos, Nigeria

Police has fired tear gas at protestors in Nigeria angry at the latest increase in the price of fuel. In the northern town of Kano around 300 people were wounded in the attack and 19 were arrested. Tension has been mounting as protesters have clashed with riot police in different parts of Nigeria for the past three days and the trade unions have called for a nationwide indefinite strike to start Monday. More protests are expected across the country in the coming days. Here we provide the Editorial statement of the Workers' Alternative on this key issue affecting the Nigerian masses.

20110103 JAF protest-1-thHuman consciousness is naturally conservative. People naturally stick to the old ways of doing things, but when a great event occurs, consciousness becomes transformed in a matter of seconds and people begin to question what they have not been questioning before. This perfectly confirms the present Nigerian situation. (3 January 2012)

For præcis et år siden, skrev jeg i en artikel med titlen: 2011: - optimisme eller pessimisme? (2011: - Optimism or pessimism?) "Krisens første virkning var chok, ikke kun for de borgerlige, men også for arbejderne. Der var en tendens til at klynge sig til jobs og acceptere nedskæringer på kort sigt, især eftersom fagforeningslederne ikke tilbyder noget alternativ. Men dette vil blive erstattet med en generel vrede og bitterhed, som før eller senere vil begynde at påvirke arbejderklassens masseorganisationer."

Large southwest dairy farm to lose organic certification following USDA investigation

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 10:00 PM PST

The first dairy to ever become US Department of Agriculture (USDA) certified organic in the State of Arizona is now set to lose that certification following an investigation spearheaded by the Cornucopia Institute (CI), a small-scale organic farm advocacy group. Shamrock Farms has allegedly been breaking USDA rules for organics by confining cows and restricting their access to pasture, and the USDA is finally getting around to taking action more than three years after CI lodged an initial complaint.

The 'Jewish God'- Cruel Mean Sadistic-More Like The Devil Than Jesus

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 06:58 PM PST

After years of honest intellectual introspection and sincere soul searching – I have come to a crossroads where I must choose one of 2 paths if I am to move forward.

As such, using the same mental faculties afforded me by the same creator responsible for all the laws of science, reason, physics, and decency, I cannot conclude anything other than that the Jewish Old Testamant is indeed part and parcel of the same twisted mentality responsible for so much suffering and evil today, and is in effect a mere extension of the same Jewish mindset that created–carved if you will–a tin god out of the basest inclinations attributable to mankind that serves as a facilitator/enabler of a depraved, arrogant, self-serving evil, and greedy agenda.

As approximately 130,000 new jobs are needed each month to stay even with population growth, the December job figures actually indicate that the US economy fell another 12,000 jobs behind.

From the recent massacres happening in Iraq and Syria, one can gather that Washington has adamantly trodden on a path which is to be seen as a way to redefine the war in Iraq, an effective stratagem to bring the regime of Assad to its doom and recalibrate a comprehensive plan to topple the Islamic government of Iran.

After years of U.S. threats, Iran has started to take very public steps to demonstrate that it is willing and capable of closing the Strait of Hormuz. On December 24, 2011 Iran started its Velayat-90 naval drills in and around the Strait of Hormuz and extending from the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman (Oman Sea) to the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea in the Indian Ocean. Since these drills took place there has been a growing war of words between Washington and Tehran. Nothing the Obama Administration or the Pentagon had done or said deterred Tehran from continuing the naval drills.

First up: "sustainable." It's been at least a decade since this earnest word was drained of all energy, having become the prime unit of exchange in the argot of purposeful uplift. As the final indication of its degraded status, I found it in President Obama's "signing statement" which accompanied the whisper of his pen, as on New Year's Eve – a very quiet day when news editors were all asleep —  he signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2012 which handed $662  billion to the Pentagon and for good measure ratified by legal statute of the exposure of US citizens to arbitrary arrest without subsequent benefit of counsel, and to possible torture and imprisonment sine die, abolishing habeas corpus. Don't bother ask what happens to non-US citizens.

This northern province, with roads congested by overloaded lorries en route for cities, was China's principal coal-producing region for a long time, until it was overtaken by Inner Mongolia. Everything is stained with coal: the sad grey villages, the landscape and the people, whose faces and bodies are blackened from working down the mines. Even the water is black: washing the coal after extraction pollutes rivers and groundwater, making it unsuitable for irrigation or drinking.

That causes them to sacrifice principle to expediency.  And there's a good reason why they are eager to sell lots of arms. It boosts their respective economies. And times were bad in 2010 and needed a boost in 2011.

Trans Fats Linked to Brain Shrinkage

Posted: 05 Jan 2012 03:09 PM PST

 

In the series of articles entitled "Dumbing-Down Society" (check out part 1 and part 2) it was mentioned that a fatty diet containing lots of processed foods had a detrimental effect on, not only on the body, but on the brain as well. A recent study has further confirmed this fact stating that "people who had high levels of circulating trans fats had less brain volume. They also had poorer memory, attention, language and processing speed skills". In other words, trans fats make you dumber. The study also suggests that consuming Omega-3 has a very noticeable positive effect on brain functions (a fact that was mentioned in the article Dumbing-Down Society Part 3: How to Reverse its Effects). Although the study focused on elderly people and on brain diseases like Alzheimer's (an advanced state of brain atrophy), its conclusions contain facts that should be known by all who want to keep their brains healthy and fully functional. Here's an article from the Vancouver Sun about the study.
