What's new at Socialist Appeal's In Defence of Marxism site September 29 1997: ( http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/IDOM.html ) Labour and Ireland ( http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/labireland3.html ) Another article in Cain O'Mahoney's series about the labour movement in Ireland: Labour and the troubles. The background to the troubles and labour's role in them 30th anniversary of Che Guevara's death ( http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/che.html ) Thirty years after his brutal death at the hands of the Bolivian CIA backed armed forces Che Guevara's face remains one of the most recognised in the world. The Bolivian hatchetmen were so afraid of him that after he had been shot they cut off his hands so that they could prove that he was really dead and buried him in an unmarked grave under a motorway. They feared that even in death Che could be a focal point for revolution. We publish here a major extract of a two part article by Manuel Campos. The original full Spanish version has been published by the Spanish Marxist magazine El Militante ( http://www.arrakis.es/~elmilit ) ---------------------------------------------------------- If you would like to be informed by email of new additions to the In Defence of Marxism web site send us an email to new@socappeal.easynet.co.uk with "subscribe What's new" as the message body.

Subject: Social Justice E-Zine #27
**************************************************************** Some time ago in an attempt to discredit one of the Zapatista leaders in Southern Mexico Sub-Comandante Marcos Government officials there tried to put forth the idea that Marcos was gay. In a region where machismo still runs strong it was hoped this would tarnish the leader's credibility. He responded by writing a poem... Yes, Marcos is gay. Marcos is gay in San Francisco Black in South Africa an Asian in Europe , a Chicano in San Ysidro , an anarchist in Spain , a Palestinian in Israel , a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal , a Jew in Germany , a Gypsy in Poland , a Mohawk in Quebec , a pacifist in Bosnia , a single woman on the Metro at 10 pm a peasant without land , a gang member in the slums , an unemployed worker , an unhappy student and, of course , a Zapatista in the mountains. Marcos is all the exploited, marginalized, oppressed minorities resisting and saying Enough". He is every minority who is now beginning to speak and every majority that must shut up and listen. He is every untolerated group searching for a way to speak. Everything that makes power and the good consciences of those in power uncomfortable -- this is Marcos."

Dear all What's New at Socialist Appeal's "In Defence of Marxism" October 1997 To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Russian Revolution we publish two very interesting accounts of the present situation in Russia. We also publish an article about the end of the civil war in Congo. Latter on in the weeek we will publish a detailed analysis of the present collapse in the stock exchange Russian labour autumn's of discontent http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/clarke.html We publish this article by Renfrey Clarke the Moscow-based left wing journalist about the present situation of the labour movement. We think the article not only provides us with a lot of information supressed in the Western press about the current wave of strikes in Russia but also contributes to the debate about the challenges facing the Russian working class. October 1997 All-Russian ruin. http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/alanrussia.html An eyewitness report on the effects of the attemps of capitalist restoration in Russia the situation in the CP and perspectives for the labour movement based on Alan Wood's recent trip to Russia. October 1997 Congo Brazzaville the reasons behind the civil war http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/congo.html On October 16 the troops of the former president of Congo Brazzaville M. Sassou Nguesso took control of the capital Brazzaville thus ousting the current president Pascal Lissouba after a five month long civil war. It would be very difficult to understand the reasons for this conflict without taking into account the background struggle for influence between French and US imperialism in Africa and the interests of the different oil companies in the rich oil fields in Congo Brazzaville's Atlantic coast.

What's new at the "In Defence of Marxism" web site THE COMING WORLD FINANCIAL CRASH 31st October 1997.

Tiger economies in crisis http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/tiger.html Michael Roberts ecomics editor of Socialist Appeal explains the immediate causes of the present crash of the markets: the currency crisis in South East Asia and how these economies which were supposed to be models of capitalis development suddenly collapsed. The First tremors http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/tremors.html In this major article Ted Grant provides us with a general analysis of the present state of capitalism. With chapters on the nature of the boom/slump cycle the peculiarities of the present "boom" the claim that Information Technology has solved the problems of capitalism the crisis of overproduction the situation in South East Asia the consecuences that the coming slump will have and the tasks in front of Marxists at this particular juncture. Because of the importance of the analysis contained in these articles we make an especial appeal to all to circulate this information as widely as possible to people you think might be interested.
