Subject: (MARX) Where is Blair taking the British Labour Party?
Date: Thu; 18 Jun 98 17:08:07 +0100
From: ( socappeal@easynet.co.uk )
What's New at Socialist Appeal's "In Defence of Marxism" web site June 18th 1998 http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/IDOM.html Where is Blair taking the British Labour Party? http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/nationalgov.html In August 1931 the Labour prime minister Ramsay MacDonald crossed the floor of the Commons with a handful of supporters to join with the Tories and Liberals in forming a National Government. This event was considered one of the greatest betrayals in the history of the Labour Party. More than sixty-five years later voices have once again been raised about the need for a radical realignment of British politics and the formation of some kind of coalition. "If Blair is the Ramsay MacDonald of the Nineties;" warns the Observer he could be getting his National Government in early as well. (24/9/95). Tony Benn has also recently drawn parallells between today and the period of 1929-31 and the formation of the National Government. Rob Sewell analyses the implications. June 1998 World Cup '98 football big business and politics http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/worldcup.html This is supposed to be as the media are forever telling us the people's game our World Cup etc. etc. But we have little or no say in it. We generate the passion but all the officials see are the buckets of cash. The governing bodies of football both national and international are remote out of touch and above all travesties of democracy. So long as big business and the multi-nationals control the game and shape it in their interests this will continue to be the reality of things. The fightback should start now starting with the grassroots supporters groups to ensure that fans have a say in the game alongside the players and coaches and that big business is given the red card.

Date: 19 Jun 1998
Dear comrades Since today three important texts from our central review in english Communism No. 8 are available on the web site of the ICG at the following addresses: Against the Myth of Democratic Rights and Liberties http://www.oocities.org/Paris/6368/mythdemo.htm Direct Action and Internationalism! http://www.oocities.org/Paris/6368/directac.htm and "Our Class Memory: 'The Beast of Property' by Johann Most" http://www.oocities.org/Paris/6368/most.htm Our reviews can only fully succeed in their task of organising communist action if they have active participation of their readers and sympathisers. Any contribution you make - theoretical critical or practical - will help us to forge a real revolutionary tool. Use this material! It is no one's private property - it is part of the heritage of the accumulated experience of our class. The class that is living struggling and fighting to destroy wage-labour and therefore all classes all exploitation. Use these texts discuss them reproduce them ... If our positions interest you - if you want to discuss them or to work with us - contact us criticise us ... Looking forward to reading you Communist greetings.
The Internationalist Communist Group fights for the constitution of the international proletariat into class and therefore into World party for the destruction of capitalism that is to say this society subjected to the dictatorship of profit that famishes man and destroys the nature. It implies the destruction of wage labour merchandise social classes armies jails national frontiers in short all kind of State... Our objective is as for all the revolutionaries of the past the constitution of a worldwide human community without exploited neither exploiters. http://www.oocities.org/Paris/6368/

What's New at Socialist Appeal's "In Defence of Marxism" web site June 24th 1998 http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/IDOM.html Big freeze coming for the world economy http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/freeze Here's a prediction. The US economy is heading for slump. By the end of this year that reality will start to emerge behind the smoke and mirrors of stock market exuberance and big business bluster. Since 1945 all world slumps have started in the US. This time will be no exception. Europe is just beginning to pick up steam. Its budding boom will be cut off by the frost of the American recession. Japan and Asia are already freezing. Before the millennium is reached the world will be ice. By Michael Roberts. False Dawn: the delusions of global capitalism http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/dawn.html False Dawn by LSE professor John Gray takes us on a world tour of the social devastation being left in capitalism's wake. Fascinating for its factual and statistical data alone it is perhaps Gray's conclusions which make the deepest impression. The free market he argues will cause disaster war ethnic conflict environmental destruction and impoverish millions. Yet throughout a lucid and empirically remarkable work Gray offers no hope proposes no reform and predicts the gloomiest of futures. In essence he argues that the global market economy is fatally flawed and incapable of reform. Book review by Phil Mitchinson. -Russia from revolution to counter-revolution by Ted Grant Ted Grant's book analysing the development of Russian society since 1917 to the current process of capitalist restoration is now fully on-line.
