Tunisian Constituent Assembly elections: Ennahda victory prepares further uprisings By Jorge Martín The conservative Islamist party Ennahda won a majority of seats (90 out of 217) in the elections to the Constituent Assembly in Tunisia on October 23. This result has sent many on the left into confusion. This represents a shift to the right, some argue. How can the Tunisian revolution end up in a victory for the right wing, ask others.

Bolshevism and the capitalist crisis today By Lal Khan The genuine forces of revolutionary Marxism were neither demoralised nor disillusioned by the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Protest of the sacked workers of Pak Arab Oil Refinery By Shahryar Khan (PTUDC Kot Addu) The working class is suffering the most in this epoch of economic and political crisis. The courageous workers who raise their voices in defence for their rights are victimized particularly by the goons of the capitalists and sacked from their job most of the times. The same is the case with the workers who were fired by the PARCO (Pak Arab Oil Refinery) administration without any notice as a punishment for forming a union to demand their basic rights.
