    Venezuela Solidarity International Days of Action By Hands Off Venezuela Monday, 03 April 2006
    Dear friends,
    The last few weeks have been full of events related to Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution. It seems that the United States have stepped up their campaign of pressure against Venezuela with a number of statements by Condolezza Rice and other high officials in Washington, including Director of National Security John Negroponte.
    In Britain this was followed by comments by (…)

    • IRAQ EXIT STRATEGY
    Thursday, 06 April 2006 Challenges Facing the Anti-War Movement As a movement we have been extraordinarily successful in achieving our initial goal: we have helped transform public opinion to the now almost 2/3 majority opposition to the war in Iraq. Our task now is to transform that consciousness into empowerment. The administration’s most useful tool - fear - remains a factor in U.S. politics, but it is now much more concentrated in congress, less so in the (…)

    Being a so-called anti-war movement leader (at least to the MSM), brings much responsibility and so much love for the people and the groups who are working hard to end this insane occupation, but is this enough?
    Recently, a blog written by an aquaintance, Scott Ritter, on AlterNet was called to my attention, where Scott, who is a self-proclaimed Republican, conservative who courageously opposed this war from the beginning, is predicting the eminent demise of the (…)

    When Will Americans Wake Up?
    Get on Message with the Sissy French
    By DON MONKERUD
    Why aren’t young people here aren’t taking to the streets along with their French counterparts to demand better treatment from employers and the government. A second question might be why the U.S. labor movement isn’t out on the street with them.
    French young people are angry that they face 20 percent employment, and they’re angry that the government’s "solution" to this crisis is a law that would allow (…)

    NEW YORK - April 5 - Given the mainstream media’s general antipathy towards France and nearly unanimous endorsement of neoliberal corporate globalization, it’s no surprise that reporters covering the massive student protests in France would be unimpressed with pleas to protect workers’ rights.
    The policy under fierce debate would allow many French employers more "flexibility" to hire and fire young workers (…)

    Published on Thursday, April 6, 2006
    Was it only three years ago that some of our puffed up patriots were denouncing the French as “cheese-eating surrender monkeys,” too fattened on Camembert to stub out their Gaulois and get down with the war on Iraq? Well, take another look at the folks who invented the word liberté. Throughout the month of March and beyond, they were demonstrating, rioting, and burning up cars to preserve a right Americans can only dream of: the right not to be fired at (…)

  • The Left Needs More Socialism
    6 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Ronald Aronson
    It’s time to break a taboo and place the word "socialism" across the top of the page in a major American progressive magazine. Time for the left to stop repressing the side of ourselves that the right finds most objectionable. Until we thumb our noses at the Democratic pols who have been calling the shots and reassert the very ideas they say are unthinkable, we will keep stumbling around in the dark corners of American politics, wondering how we lost our souls—and how to (…)
