Venezuela: The lies of the counter-revolution answered |
|
By Alan Woods
|
|
Monday, 29 November 2010 |
|
In January of this year an article
appeared in the main bourgeois paper in Brazil that referred to me as
“Chavez’s adviser”. A few weeks later the same story appeared on the
front page of the Venezuelan opposition paper Tal Cual, edited by
Todor Petkoff, who wrote the article. I answered Mr. Petkoff at the
time. But, as a cynical journalist once said: why let the facts spoil a
good story?

Indonesia: Inspiring Book Launch Tour of Revolution Betrayed |
|
By Jean Duval
|
|
Friday, 19 November 2010 |
|
More than ten years after the
revolutionary “reformasi” movement in Indonesia, the thirst for Marxist
ideas remains unquenchable. Those ideas continue to inspire left-wing
student and workers activists and induce fear among the ruling classes.
The fear of communism, instilled by the terror of the Suharto
dictatorship, has not completely been removed but it has been eroded.

|
Twelve years since the magnificent
movement that overthrew the hated Soeharto regime in Indonesia it is
time to draw a balance sheet of what was achieved and what the state of
the movement is now. As the crisis of worldwide capitalism begins to
bite, Indonesia too is faced with a new situation, one where the working
class and youth will seek to learn the lessons of the past. This
two-part document attempts to draw those lessons.

Is there such a thing as a “progressive bourgeoisie” in Indonesia today? What is the impact of the crisis on the Indonesian economy and what are the prospects for the coming period?

you think education is expensive, try ignorance’ – never has that
observation been more relevant.
The country – along with much of
