ATTAC CADTM MAROC : Solidarité avec les 595 femmes de ménage grecques

2014-09-14 02 595-femmesL'association Attac Maroc salue le courage des 595 femmes de ménage grecques de la Fonction publique, en lutte depuis 11 mois contre leur licenciement et les mesures d'austérité et de dégraissage de la Fonction publique imposées par le gouvernement grec sous tutelle des Institutions financières internationales et de l'Union européenne.

Ces mêmes politiques, nous les connaissons ici aussi au Maroc et elles nous ont été imposées, tout comme en Grèce, par les plans d'ajustement structurels mis en place par le FMI et la Banque mondiale, qui nous ont d'abord artificiellement endettés afin de nous imposer les privatisations, le démantèlement de la fonction public et la libéralisation des services. Ici comme chez vous, ce sont les femmes qui en paient le prix fort et elles aussi ont mené d'importantes luttes, notamment contre la libéralisation de la santé publique.

To curtail the development of emancipation movements: World Bank and IMF support to dictatorships

Series: Bretton Woods, the World Bank and the IMF : 70th anniversary (Part 8)

Éric Toussaint

2014-09-14 01 Toussaint-Eric  After the Second World War, in a growing number of Third World countries, policies diverged from those of the former colonial powers. This trend encountered firm opposition from the governments of the major industrialised capitalist countries whose influence held sway with the World Bank (WB) and the IMF. WB projects have a strong political content: to curtail the development of movements challenging the domination/rule of major capitalist powers. The prohibition against taking “political” and “non-economic” considerations into account in WB operations, one of the most important provisions of its charter, is systematically circumvented. The political bias of the Bretton Woods institutions is shown by their financial support to dictatorships ruling in Chile, Brazil, Nicaragua, Congo-Kinshasa and Romania.

Independence for Catalonia? With the November 9 consultation, the moment of truth approaches

ANTENTAS Josep Maria

2014-09-08 03 AntentasThere is no doubt. The moment of truth approaches. But which? The coming months will be worth years. For better or worse they can lead to an acceleration and a point of irreversible movement towards the breaking of the institutional framework created in 1978, or can represent the epic collapse of the process initiated in 2012, leaving behind a legacy of cynicism and frustration without comparison.

The first measures of the script of the coming weeks seem clear. After the mobilization of 11-S the Mas government [of the Generalitat of Catalonia] will approve the Law of Consultations [concerning the independence vote] and then, sign the decree for calling of the consultation, which will probably be suspended by the Constitutional Court.

The fight for socialism in Slovenia and the IDS

KORSIKA Anej, ROBERTSON James

2014-09-05 03 Anej KorsikaJames Robertson: Let’s start with a brief history of the Initiative for Democratic Socialism (IDS) and its role in the formation of the Združena levica (UL, United Left) earlier this year. What are the origins of IDS?

Anej Korsika: The Initiative for Democratic Socialism, to use the old cliche, has a short history and a long past. Officially, the party was founded on the 8th of March this year. However when one wants to grasp the gradual formation of the party, one needs to take into consideration a much longer timeline. Before Slovenia entered NATO in 2004, there was a strong civil initiative that opposed joining such a military organization. There was also opposition to the support of the invasion of Iraq (Slovenia was among the countries that signed the disgraceful Vilnius letter [1]). There were domestic issues that mobilized civil society, such as the case of the erased [2] and migrant workers. These and many other “anomalies” depicted a more sinister picture of the so-called “success story” that domestic and foreign politicians liked to call Slovenia. Apart from such initiatives, there were also a couple of student associations and progressive professors that encouraged critical thinking. The Institute for Labour Studies (former Workers’ and Punks’ University) played a very important role here. It was one of a handful of places where one could seriously engage with critical political economy and conceptually equip oneself to systematically and thoroughly understand the dynamics of contemporary capitalism.

100 years ago: World War I and Its Century

RUFF Allen

2014-08-30 04 Ruff-AllenIN HIS AGE of Extremes, the great Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm marked the start of World War I in August, 1914 as the beginning of the “short twentieth century.”

In Hobsbawm’s account, that short century ended with the reunification of Germany and the breakup of the Soviet “East Bloc” in 1989-90. The “Great War” of 1914-1918, he argued, was the defining event of the century.

With the dismemberment of Yugoslavia underway in the early 1990s as he wrote, Hobsbawm observed that the inter-communal strife reignited in the “Balkan tinderbox” represented the “old chickens of Versailles once again coming home to roost” — meaning that the repercussions of the punitive peace imposed outside Paris in 1919 were reverberating over 70 years later. Were he alive today, he certainly would note how some of the wounds of that “war to end all wars” continue to fester.

The Second International and the First World War – Responding to capitalist global disaster: 1914 and today

John Riddell

2014-08-25 01 RiddellThe Second International and the First World War – Responding to capitalist global disaster: 1914 and today

Table of contents:

  • Campaign against war

  • The 1907 Stuttgart congress

  • Revolutionary course

  • Anti-colonialism

  • Outbreak of war

  • The Zimmerwald conference

  • World war and global warming

  • Socialism or barbarism

 On this day one hundred years ago, a Bosnian nationalist assassinated the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, setting in motion a chain of events that led a month later to the outbreak of the First World War. The war shattered the world socialist movement and unleashed an overwhelming social catastrophe in Europe, killing seventeen million soldiers and civilians. The resulting revolutionary struggles brought the war to an abrupt end in 1918, while toppling the continent’s three great empires and bringing workers and peasants to power in Russia. The war also contributed to a global rise of anti-colonial struggles.What does this unique cataclysm mean for us today? It is useful to compare World War 1 with the dangers posed today by climate change and environmental collapse.The world is still ruled by arrogant imperial powers, which wage and threaten wars in many continents. Still, these powers do not seem to be on the verge of hurling themselves at each other in a global war as they did in 1914. Meanwhile, the colonial empires have given way to new forms of domination. We face a looming environmental disaster, but it will mature over decades, not weeks. The socialist movement is far weaker and less militant than in 1914. The road to socialism now seems more extended than it did at that time.Yet many aspects of the socialist response to the First World War have resonance in our time. It is particularly helpful in defining the socialist response to climate change and in clarifying some disputed issues in this arena.

The cancellation of German debt in 1953 versus the attitude to the Third World and Greece

  by Eric Toussaint

2014-08-20 05 Toussaint-EricThe United States cancelled the debts of some of its allies. The most obvious instance of this kind was the way the German debt was largely cancelled by the 1953 London Agreement. In order to make sure that the economy of West Germany would thrive and thus become a key element of stability in the Atlantic bloc, the creditor allies led by the United States made major concessions to German authorities and corporations - concessions that went beyond debt relief. A comparison between the way West Germany was treated after WWII and the current attitude to developing countries or to Greece today is a telling story.

A call: Jewish survivors and descendents of survivors of Nazi genocide unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza

2014-08-13 06 gaza jews for palestineAs Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors of the Nazi genocide, we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine. We further condemn the United States for providing Israel with the funding to carry out the attack, and Western states more generally for using their diplomatic muscle to protect Israel from condemnation. Genocide begins with the silence of the world

We are alarmed by the extreme, racist dehumanization of Palestinians in Israeli society, which has reached a fever pitch. In Israel, politicians and pundits in The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post have called openly for genocide of Palestinians, and right-wing Israelis are adopting Neo-Nazi insignia

Furthermore, we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel’s abuse of our history in these pages to promote blatant falsehoods used to justify the unjustifiable: Israel’s wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of nearly 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can justify depriving people of electricity and water

We must raise our collective voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. We call for an immediate end to the siege against and blockade of Gaza. We call for the full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. “Never again” must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!

Serbia: Faced to the neoliberal assault on working class rights, can the trade unions lead the struggle?

 ILIC Pavle

2014-08-09 01 Beograd-Worker-and-citizen-protestJuly 17th witnessed one of the largest social protests in Serbia since the beginning of the global financial crisis. Around 10000 people, mainly public sector workers, marched through the streets of Belgrade against the “economic reform legislative package” including the latest incarnation of the Labour law. This will, among other things, severely deregulate the labour market, making it even easier for “entrepreneurs” (as capital owners and managers are lovingly referred to by the government controlled media) to sack workers and cut wages and severance pay (thus legalising practices already commonplace in contemporary Serbia), which has, in one form or another, been on the agenda of all post-Milosević governments in Serbia.

Israël : Vers le fascisme – « l'Etat hébreu est en train de sombrer dans le fascisme »

WARSCHAWSKI Michel

warschawskiMichel Warschawski (né en 1949 à Strasbourg) est un journaliste et militant pacifiste d'extrême gauche israélien, cofondateur et président du Centre d'information alternative de Jérusalem et ancien président de la Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire Marxiste israélienne.

Au cours des 45 dernières années, j'ai participé à de très nombreuses manifestations, de petits rassemblements, faits de quelques irréductibles à des manifestations de masses où nous étions plus de 100 000 ; des manifestations calmes, voire festives et des manifestations où nous avions été attaqués par des groupes de droite voire par des passants. J'ai pris des coups, j'en ai rendus, et il m'est arrivé, surtout quand j'avais des responsabilités, d'être nerveux. Mais je ne me souviens pas avoir eu peur.

Fort Apache - Extrema derecha: Surgen los monstruos 

Iglesias-Errejón-RodríguezLa aparición en la escena política de partidos ultraderechistas como Amanecer Dorado, la Liga Norte, el Frente Nacional Francés, PxC o España2000 en España, no hacen sino constatar, como ya resumió el dirigente británico del BNP, Nick Griffin, que las condiciones actuales representan la tormenta perfecta para su crecimiento.

Así se ha demostrado en las Elecciones Europeas del pasado 25 de Mayo en las que los partidos xenófobos y de ultra derecha vencieron en Francia (Front National), Reino Unido (UK Independence Party), Dinamarca (Dansk Folkeparti i København), Croacia (Hrvatska stranka prava - HSP) y Polonia (Ley y Justicia). Además los autodenominados nazis griegos de Amanecer Dorado lograron entrar en el Parlamento Europeo, así como los alemanes del Partido Nacional Demócrata.

Chinese ambitions - An imperialism in formation

ROUSSET Pierre

RoussetChina is not an “emerging country” but a power that has emerged. It is not a “sub-imperialism” ensuring order in its own region, but an imperialism “in formation.” The new Chinese bourgeoisie is aiming to play in the big league. The success of its enterprise is still far from assured, but this ambition determines its international policies, both economic and military.

« Le peuple palestinien tient sur ses faibles épaules l’avenir de l’humanité, entre barbarie et libération »

La Palestine - Le Cœur du monde

WARSCHAWSKI Michel, PELED-ELHANAN Nurit

warschawski-peledL’équipe d’Algérie de football vient d’annoncer qu’elle donnerait l’ensemble de sa prime aux Palestiniens de Gaza. Combative et au jeu attractif, elle n’a malheureusement pas réussi à vaincre les États-Unis et dépasser ainsi les huitièmes de finale, mais ce geste envers la population martyre de Gaza la met sur le podium du championnat de la solidarité internationale.

Aux Fennecs, il faut ajouter un autre Algérien (ou plutôt franco-algérien), le prestigieux buteur de l’équipe de France Karim Benzema, qui, a plusieurs occasions, a exprimé lui-aussi sa solidarité avec le peuple palestinien.

Qu’est-ce qui fait que, même dans ce sport de compétition où les acteurs sont plus préoccupés par les sommes astronomiques qu’ils engrangent que par les valeurs morales, il y ait un tel engouement pour la Palestine et son peuple ? La réponse que nous donnent les inconditionnels de l’Etat juif ne peut nous surprendre : derrière ce soutien à la Palestine se cache, ou plutôt ne se cache même pas l’antisémitisme, surtout s’il s’agit d’Arabes, d’où qu’ils soient. Ayant intériorisé la théorie du Choc des Civilisations, les inconditionnels d’Israël, voient dans la solidarité avec la Palestine l’expression de la haine éternelle (sic) du monde musulman envers ce qu’ils appellent la civilisation judéo-chrétienne. L’histoire du monde se résumerait à cette guerre éternelle, inscrite dans le code génétique de la civilisation musulmane : c’est ce qu’on nous rabâche depuis maintenant plus d’un quart de siècle, faisant fi à la fois de deux millénaires d’antisémitisme chrétien et de nombreux siècles de coexistence judéo-musulmane plus ou moins harmonieuse. A moins de me tromper gravement, Treblinka n’était pas au Maghreb, et Sobibor une banlieue de Damas…
