E não apenas os comunistas de todo o mundo irão velar pela sua memória, porém sua biografia e suas obras completas (a publicação das quais está sendo incomensuravelmente retardada pelos comunistas alemães que podem apenas ser em parte desculpados por conta das tremendas perdas que estão sofrendo em sua severa luta) servirão como úteis manuais para o treinamento de muitas gerações de comunistas em todo o mundo.

The Social State is Affordable

03-03-2005 18:46

That "we" can no longer afford the social state is gossip. Thinking this gossip will end is wishful thinking. In truth, we cannot afford the prevailing financial policy. In Germany and the US, increased profits have not led to increased investments or more jobs.

Included on the diagram is Bello's Akbayan parlimentary party.
