Este es una contecimiento muy importante ya que el Manifiesto es sin duda uno de los libros mas actuales que existen y describe de manera brillante muchos de los fenomenos que vemos a nuestro alrededor ('globablizacion' 'liberalizacion' concentracion de capital crisis del capitalismo ...) Mientras muchos de los dirigentes oficiales del movimiento obrero siguen hablando del 'libre mercado' los primeros temblores de la crisis del capitalismo ya se dejaron sentir en el Sudeste asiatico. Para nosotros el Manifiesto sigue siendo una guia para el movimiento obrero de nuestros dias. Por esto hemos decidido marcar este aniversario con la publicacion de este sitio web conmemorativo. La pagina (cuyo idioma principal es el ingles) contiene el propio Manifiesto Comunista en diferentes idiomas (castellano portugues sueco danes aleman frances euskara y pronto catalan). Ademas hay vinculos a biografias de Marx y Engels archivo de fotografias vinculos a otros sitios marxistas una seccion de actos conmemorativos del 150 aniversario en diferentes partes del mundo ... Somos conscientes de que la pagina esta solo en su etapa inicial y que hay muchos huecos que llenar. Por eso necesitamos su colaboracion. Dadnos vuestra opinion sobre el sitio y sus contenidos. Conoces ediciones del Manifiesto en otros idiomas? Conoces biografias de Marx y Engels o fotografias en la red que no mencionemos? Tienes comentarios que hacer sobre el Manifiesto o sobre el marxismo? Estais organizando actos?

Subject: (MARX) New from Bookmarks Publications
NEW FROM BOOKMARKS PUBLICATIONS England's turning point Essays on 17th century English history Christopher Hill This is a unique collection of writings by Christopher Hill spanning a 60 year period from 1938. It is full of biting analysis criticism and startling insights into the forces that shaped the most exciting period in English history the English Revolution. Price 12.99 The struggle for workers power Charlie Kimber The heart of Marxism is the belief that the emancipation of the working class must be the act of the working class. Charlie KImber identifies the main faultline in society - class. He shows that class antagonism is built into the society we live in. Through the inevitable struggle this produces workers can begin to feel their power. In the process of struggle workers will begin to change themselves as they change the world. Price 1.00 Can socialism come through Parliament? Pat Stack Pat Stack looks at the rise of Blair and New labour and shows that although Blair is much more right wing than almost all Labour leaders of the past Labour has never delivered the change to a fairer and more just society that Labour voters have craved. The fundamental problem for Labour has been the illusion that real power lies in parliament. it doesn't. Real power lies in the hands of the rich and those who serve their needs. The author shows that there is only one force that can take on that power and change society for the better - the working class. Price 1.00 Alexandra Kollontai on women's liberation Alexandra Kollontai was one of the most important fighters for women's liberation and revolutionary sexual freedom. Bookmarks Publications is proud to make available the only selection of her writings currently in print in English. She takes on bourgeois feminism in terms fully relevant today and places women's oppression firmly within an understanding of capitalist class society. She emphasises the different interests between rich and working class women and the centrality of class struggle in achieving women's liberation. Kollontai deals with sexual relations with great depth detaisl and feeling and with the new morality of revolutionary Russia in relation to marriage the family personal relations and prostitution. These brilliant writings are essential reading for any socialist. Contents: extracts from `The social basis of the woman question'; `Sexual relations and the class struggle'; `Communism and the family' Price 2.00 Socialism and war John Rees We are rushing out a new edition of John Rees' excellent pamphlet. This pamphlet provides the basic Marxist analysis of the causes of war which lie at the heart of the capitalist system. He describes the wretched capitulation of Labour leaders in Britain and elsewhere to the warmongers and explains what attitude socialists should take to imperialist wars wars of oppression and national liberation struggles. Rees ends by explaining how we can ultimately put an end to the threat of war altogether. Vital reading for socialists who wish to arm themselves with the arguments that need to be won if a new Gulf War is launched. Price 1.00 How to order: All prices are in pounds sterling. Please add 15% of cover prices (to a maximum of 3.00) for postage in the UK; 20% outside the UK.

What's New at Socialist Appeal's "In Defence of Marxism" web site February 24th 1998 http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/IDOM.html We have added thre more chapters to the on-line edition of Ted Grant's book Russia from revolution to counterrevolution http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappealrussia - Part Seven: The meaning of perestroika This chapter explains how after becoming an absolute fetter on the development of the economy sections of the Stalinist bureaucracy tried to reform the system in order to be able maintain their rule. That is the meaning of Gorbachov's perestroika. But these attempts to reform the system where to open the floodgates which led to their overthrow. - Part Eight: from foreign policy to the national question This chapter deals with the foreign and national policies of the Stalinist bureaucracy in its last period. Why having abandoned a revolutionary perspective they got involved into a crazy arms race and later developed the idea of 'peaceful co-existence'. It also deals with the development of the crisis of Stalinism in Eastern Europe and also with the distorsion of the policies of October in relation to the national question leading to vicious national oppression under Stalinism. - Part Nine: The collapse of Stalinism Covering from 1989 through the attempted coup in 1991 the storming of the White House in 1993 Ukranian independence and the conflict in Chechnya.
