    Maybe it's time for the left to see the universalization of capitalism not just as a defeat for us but also as an opportunity—and that, of course, above all means a new opportunity for that unfashionable thing called class struggle.
  5. Back To The Future 
    The Continuing Relevance of Marx
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 2000
    Does anyone seriously believe that the Russian workers who invented soviets in 1905 or overthrew the Tsar in 1917 were free of bigotry, of anti-semitism, of sexism, of national chauvinism? Or the Hungarian workers of 1966? Or the French workers of 1968? (In France there had been considerable display of racism toward African immigrants, a racism that was significantly reduced for a while during the events of May 1968.) Were the Polish workers who created Solidarity in 1980 free of anti-semitism, sexism, the influence of the Catholic Church? What is missing in most of these empirical studies is the theory of Marx. They are based on the depths the working class has reached under capitalism, not the peaks. As a result, they are inherently conservative.

    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1961
    The strike of 1960-61 was the culmination of a growing movement of social protest that had been building up over many years. The economic situation of Belgium had been slowly deteriorating. The last and most drastic attempt to improve it, at the expense of the working class, was the introduction of the loi unique, which cut into workers' purchasing power and threatened their conditions of work. On December 14, 1960, a one-day demonstration was called by the Socialist Party and the trade unions to protest against this law. It met with tremendous success. On December 20, the day the debate on the law began in Parliament, the municipal workers came out on official, nationwide, strike. While most of the other unions were discussing what to do next, a spontaneous movement of unparalleled extent swept the country like a tidal wave.

  164. Beyond Hypocrisy
    Decoding the News in an Age of Propaganda
    Resource Type: Book
    Edward Herman's book should be required reading for all news rooms and journalism students. In this book he examines through essays, cartoons and a dictionary of "doublespeak" the terms used in the language of U.S. government policy. He highlights the deception and moral hypocrisy and the media's all too willing role to propagate it: whether it be the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq (agression) or the American invasion of Grenada (justifyable) . One of the most important aspects of doublespeak is the ability to "use lies to choose and shape facts selectively". Another lesson of this book is the governments' mastery of propaganda and manufacture of new foes and the media's failure to question the basis in reality of these supposed threats.

    Connexipedia: Article in Wikipedia
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    A black bloc is a tactic for protests and marches, whereby individuals wear black clothing, ski masks and motorcycle helmets with padding, steel-toed boots and often carrying their own shields and truncheons. The clothing is used to avoid being identified and to appear as one large mass. The tactic was developed in the 1980s by anti-nuclear activist autonomists. Some radical right-wing groups, like some of the autonomous nationalists of Europe, have also adopted "black bloc" tactics. Black blocs lend themselves to infiltration by police and agents provocateurs: for example, at the Genoa G8 protests in 2001, Black Bloc members were seen getting out of police vans near protest marches, and in the 2007 protests in Quebec, demonstrators who instigated stone-throwing at a non-violent protest were later exposed as undercover police officers.

    Multiculturalism transformed the character of antiracism.

Political struggles unite across ethnic or cultural divisions; cultural struggles inevitably fragment.
