    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1999
    The effectiveness - or ineffectiveness - of economic sanctions as an instrument for altering the political behaviour of a state is an extremely nebulous index to measure. Regimes subjected to sanactions, such as Saddam Hussein's Iraq, the Apartheid government of South Africa, and Milosevic-era Yugoslavia,have often found ingenious ways to side-step the punishments meted to them for their outrages.

  36. Neumann, Michael: What is Anti-Semitism?
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 2002
    Inflating the meaning of 'antisemitism' to include anything politically damaging to Israel is a double-edged sword. It may be handy for smiting your enemies, but the problem is that definitional inflation, like any inflation, cheapens the currency. The more things get to count as antisemitic, the less awful antisemitism is going to sound.

    Resource Type: Book

    The failure to reduce green house gas emissions, the success of efforts to curb ozone depletion, causes related to prosperity and social justice are just some the topics in Michael Nickerson's book. By using the example of Kerela, a state in India with a population comparable to Canada's he shows how a society by working together can become car free, religious and bigotry free, have a high level of health care and literacy and be able to sustain itself on a fraction of the money on which we depend.

    A Bad Law Threatens Our Past
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 2009
    Imagine a dystopian horror tale in which virtually all books from the past were destroyed...Books that did not meet the ideologies of the publishers, the demands of the mass market, the trends of the day would be destroyed...That incredible scenario is actually playing out in terms of children's books under a law meant to protect toddlers from lead contaminant in toys. Called the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), the law was passed in August 2008 -- quickly, without scrutiny and nearly unanimously.

    A Review of "Big Fan"
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter

  51. Nin, Andrés: Austro-Marxism and the National Question
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1935
    The mistake made by those who, starting from the fact that revolutionary Marxism upholds the right of all peoples to independence, argue that the practical consequence of that should be the creation of independent national parties or a federation of organisations with extensive political and administrative autonomy, cannot be sufficiently emphasised. Solidarity between workers of the diverse nations within the same State should be paramount. Class solidarity is better than national solidarity.
  52. Nin, Andrés: The May Days in Barcelona
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1936
    The struggle under way in Spain between revolution and counter-revolution is now entering a new phase, in which the proletariat, educated by the experience of these months of struggle and, above all, by the magnificent May Days, must direct all its forces towards strengthening its class independence, defending the conquests of the revolution and preparing for the taking of power, the indispensable premise for the institution of a socialist regime which will regenerate the country’s economy and establish order.
  53. Nin, Andrés: The Political Situation and the Tasks of the Proletariat
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1937
    In the present, unequivocally revolutionary situation the slogan “fight for the parliamentary-democratic Republic” can serve no other interests than those of the bourgeois counter-revolution.

    Indian Country and the Lessons of McCarthyism
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 2009
    Lazy journalists are great friends of the corporations. They are known as "armchair journalists" because they sit in comfort and rewrite press releases from politicians and corporations. To spice it up a bit, they dial a few numbers, get a few comments and call it a news story. They are the "darlings of the energy companies," as Buffy Sainte Marie says.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
