The Greek crisis: Europe on the brink of a precipice |
|
By Alan Woods
|

Monday, 19 September 2011 |
|
Europe is standing on the edge of a
precipice. This is the judgement, not just of the Marxists, but of the
most serious strategists of Capital. Barely six weeks have passed since
the latest Greek rescue package, and it is already unravelling. There is
now a general crisis of confidence in the ranks of the bourgeoisie
internationally. The panic, which is reflected in the wild gyrations of
the stock exchanges, has spread rapidly from Europe to America. It is a
kind of deadly contagion that has infected all the euro zone’s big
countries.

How capitalism developed in Taiwan and South Korea – any parallels with China today? Part Two |
|
By Luca Lombardi
|
|
Monday, 19 September 2011 |
|
The experience of economic planning in
South Korea was broadly speaking, similar to that of Taiwan. What most
characterises the Korean experience is the prominent role of the
chaebols, the giant conglomerates, in developing the economy.

How capitalism developed in Taiwan and South Korea – any parallels with China today? Part One |
|
By Luca Lombardi
|
|
Monday, 19 September 2011 |
|
The crisis that has shaken the world
economy since 2008 has pushed bourgeois ideologists to desperately seek a
solution. They are looking for alternative ways of running their
system, seeking to square the circle and maintain capitalism without its
inevitable contradictions. As Asia, and China in particular, is doing
so well, there is a burgeoning literature about the Chinese model, just
as in the past there was so much made of the “Japanese miracle”. In Part
One of this article Luca Lombardi looks at the experience of Taiwan.

The Silent Revolution: The 1981 Springbok Tour |
|
By Miles Lacey

Saturday, 10 September 2011 |
|
From
9th
September to 23rd
October, 2011, New Zealand will be the host to the 2011 Rugby World
Cup. By all accounts it is shaping up to be a non-event in New
Zealand with less than a third of those polled taking an active
interest in the event despite rugby being the national sport of New
Zealand. This is a far cry from the days when the nation would grind
to a halt for international rugby matches involving the All Blacks.
This lack of interest in the Rugby World Cup is not only due to the
inability of thousands of working class New Zealanders to attend
rugby matches but the fundamental change in attitude towards the
national game that resulted from the 1981 Springbok Tour.

Another day, another crisis |
|
By Rob Sewell
|
|
Thursday, 25 August 2011 |
|
Events are moving at lightening speed.
Stock markets are in freefall around the world. Some days bring
temporary relief only to be followed by greater convulsions. The whole
situation is reminiscent of 2008, or more correctly the 1930s

After the fall of Tripoli: The way forward for the Libyan Revolution |
|
By Alan Woods
|
|
Tuesday, 23 August 2011 |
The end came suddenly and without warning. In the moment of truth the Gaddafi regime fell like a house of cards.
Last
night the streets of Tripoli were filled with wild rejoicing as rebel
forces occupied Green Square in Tripoli. Libyan rebels waved opposition
flags and fired shots into the air in jubilation after reaching the
central square of the capital in the early hours of Monday. Until now
the vast square was reserved for carefully orchestrated rallies praising
Moammar Gaddafi. Now it erupted in celebration after rebel troops
pushed into the centre of the Libyan capital.

The riots in Britain: a warning to the bourgeoisie |
|
By Alan Woods
|
|
Wednesday, 10 August 2011 |
|
The riots in Britain are only a symptom
of a general crisis of capitalism. The Marxists will not join with the
bourgeoisie and its agents in their hypocritical chorus of
denunciation. Our duty is to find a road to the youth, to help them to
find the right road – the revolutionary road, the road to the socialist
reconstruction of society.
