The new web site of the LCMRCIis: ++ La nueva Pagina Web del Cemicor es: http://www.oocities.org/CapitolHill/8792/ Read our last Internationalist Bulletin: Internationalist Bulletin 2 Publication of the Liaison Committee of Militants for a Revolutionary Communist International Victory to the Albanian uprising! Spring 1997/ Content : Albania: Spontaneous revolt against anti-communists The ruin of the Balkan capitalist model Key events in the two months of unrest that have drawn Albania into Revolution Victory to the Albanian uprising! Voices from Albania The MRTA holding of the Japanese ambassador's house in Lima and the tasks of the working class Human rights in Peru Good picket against Fujimori in London Colombian general strike's picket Christmas massacre in Bolivia. Summary of a report from Poder Obrero (Bolivia) Ecuador: General strike ousts President Bucaram Guerrilla struggles re-emerge in Latin America. Workers' Voice (U.S.) What lessons from the Korean general strike? Communist Workers Group (New Zealand) The Civil War in Zaire Imperialists out of central Africa!

Workers' Voice (U.S.) Free Mumia Abu-Jamal! DOSSIER: Joint declarations of the LCMRCI and the LTT (Iraq Palestine Ireland Trade Union work in Britain Europe) Banditry and colonialism will not destroy Poder Obrero in Peru The bankruptcy of Workers Power's LRCI In this issue In this issue we re-reproduce articles from different groups and comrades of the LCMRCI and fraternal groups. We give particular importance to the recent struggles in Latin America. Most of these issues were ignored or badly reported in the European left press. We have an article on two important mass actions in the Andes: the Ecuadorian general strike which overthrew a just-elected populist government; and the armed confrontation between the army and the miners in Bolivia. Our comrades in Peru sent articles related to the occupation of the Japanese diplomatic residence in Lima and how their organisation is existing and struggling in such difficult circumstances. We are reprinting an article from Workers Voice in which it is analyse the development of significant guerrilla struggles in the two major countries which surround the Central American isthmus: Colombia and Mexico. We cover the new troubles in Serbia and especially Albania. The latest is a very important development. It is an spontaneous mass rebellion which is not using any anti-Communist or ethnic-nationalist cover and is directly against one of the models of capitalist restoration in the region. The New Zealand comrades wrote articles on the class struggle in the Pacific: the Korean demonstrations and the new reactionary coalition in New Zealand. We also reproduced two articles on Central Africa. The Communist Left wrote on racism in Australia. Workers' Voice presents an account of the defeat of the Detroit's newspaper strike in which they were involved. At the end we are publishing a Dossier with all the documents adopted by the LTT and the LCMRCI. We also have a summary article on our differences with the organisation where we come from: the LRCI. We invite the readers to send their comments.

Subject: How to Build the Party of the Future (announcing new weekly
Ben Seattle is writing a new weekly series under the title How to Build the Party of the Future . The coming revolution in communications now in its earliest stages is already beginning to demonstrate its potential to influence the development and interaction of Marxist (and would-be Marxist) organizations. In the next decade or so the communications revolution holds promise to completely transform the "left ecosystem" consisting at present of squabbling sectarian grouplets craven reformists and the just-plain confused. In place of this will likely emerge a dynamic and powerful system of communist organizations which will both compete and cooperate with one another at levels which at present may seem inconceivable. It is on questions such as this--that this series will focus. The series will consist of one installment a week for approximately three months. Each installment will be between 20K and 60K in length (ie: between 3 thousand and ten thousand words). This series is being written for serialization in the Spoon's "Marxism-International" listserv and will largely focus on the development of the "M-I" list. But the principles of development underlaying the relationship between the communications revolution and the creation of communist organization will likely be of interest to many others and anyone is welcome to subscribe to it by sending e-mail to "POF@communism.org" with "subscribe" in the subject line. Please note: all such e-mail will be processed by a human being (ie: myself) and comments and questions are most welcome. __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ How to Build the Party of the Future __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ by Ben Seattle (cyberRed) By continuing our political development and harnessing the the power of the coming revolution in communications -- we can help to lay the foundation for a communist "trend of trends" with the ability to eradicate sectarianism from our ranks puncture the influence of reformism over a vast audience capture the imagination of workers in their millions and mobilize our class to ignite a fire that cannot be extinguished.
