Zimbabwe And The Battle of Ideas

02-10-2008 03:05

To hear the American and European corporate media tell it, Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is the worst villain since Hitler. These same corporate organs - and their governments and ruling classes - love the opposition Movement for Democratic Change more than they ever did the liberation movements that fought colonialism and imperialism on the continent. The author methodically confronts the torrent of propaganda that demonizes Mugabe while hailing Africans that are funded by and do service to rich European and American corporations.

Why they are getting away with it.

01-10-2008 21:22

There is a powerful mood amongst the working class against bailing out the rich. It is so strong it defeated the bail out. The problem is there is no vehicle such as a mass workers' party to counter the ideological offensive of capital and through which this mood could channel itself and ultimately produce a more lasting and obvious alternative.

The Ideological War Continues

01-10-2008 20:50

The capitalists are frantically trying to save their system. The ideological war is intense, "there will be catastrophe" if the working class doesn't agree to take on more debt. But the working class doesn't want to bail out the swindlers. The first vote failed as no one wants to be blamed. They'll add a few crumbs and likely get it passed with help from the Labor leaders who are wedded to capitalism and refusing to offer an alternative. But this shock has already had a significant effect on consciousness.

Abolish Conscription - Now!

01-10-2008 14:30

Show your solidarity with the total refuser Jan-Patrick!

The German federal armed forces will draft Jan-Patrick on the first of October. He should go to the air force instruction regiment in Strausberg (near Berlin). He will enter the barracks voluntarily but he will refuse any command. We expect, that he will be arrested immediately. First of all just for a few days, after one day of interruption it is likely that he is sentenced to federal armed forces internal maximum penalty of 21 days- in the worst case a couple of times.
To be arrested in the German army means 23 hours a day in a solitary cell, once a week one hour visiting time and -if you are lucky- boundless access to your post.
