All Out on May Day!
Internationalist Group
2008-04-26 1:18 PM
On May 1, all 29 ports on the U.S. West Coast are to be shut down by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) in protest against the U.S. war on Afghanistan and Iraq. This is a historic event of international significance: labor action against imperialist war by a major American union. The strategically placed port workers in the ILWU can bring commerce with Asia to a grinding halt, and they’re about to demonstrate it. The maritime employers are already screaming, and you can bet it’s got the attention of the warmongers in Washington. All labor should take up the challenge this poses: For workers strikes against the war! Meanwhile, immigrants’ rights groups are once again mobilizing on May Day. And on April 30 and May 1, the independent truckers who move cargo to and from the docks may play an important role in a shutdown. The imperialist war on Afghanistan and Iraq is also a war on immigrants, minorities, working people and democratic rights “at home.” We need to defeat this attack here and abroad, in opposition to both the capitalist war parties. The “antiwar movement,” whose aim has always been to pressure the Democrats, is at a dead end. What’s needed is working-class action independent of the bosses. What that takes is a fundamental break from the Democratic Party and the pro-capitalist politics that infuse the labor bureaucracy. (text/html)

Randi Rhodes & Her Eff’ing Adjectives!

And of course she was one who could tell the blatant and unmitigated truth. No mealy-mouther her. No—not Randi Rhodes. But then she called Hillary Clinton a “f**king” whore at a speech event in the Frisco Bay area. It got on the Internet via YouTube and made a splash—daring. Some rightly protest that Hillary is indeed a whore—so what is the big deal? But while we are collectively soul searching about her leaving Air America under the situation, we might note that we are all, or most of us, compromisers to some extent with spiritual lessons to learn.

Paro portuario en la Costa Oeste contra la guerra el 1° de mayo
Grupo Internacionalista
2008-04-02 3:49 AM
En lo que representa un paso de gran importancia para el movimiento obrero norteamericano, el International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU – sindicato internacional de estibadores y almacenistas) ha anunciado que paralizará los puertos de la Costa Oeste de Estados Unidos el 1° de mayo para exigir el cese inmediato de la guerra y la ocupación en Irak y Afganistán, así como el retiro de las tropas norteamericanas de Medio Oriente. Ésta es la primera vez en décadas que un sindicato en Estados Unidos ha decidido emprender una acción industrial en contra de una guerra de EE.UU. La acción anunciada por el poderoso sindicato de trabajadores portuarios de la Costa Oeste, un paro de labores para parar la guerra, debe ser retomada por sindicatos y organizaciones de trabajadores de todo Estados Unidos y a escala internacional. El propósito de semejantes acciones no debe ser suplicar a los políticos burgueses –cuyas manos están llenas de sangre, por haber aprobado a lo largo de los últimos seis años y medio todo presupuesto de guerra– sino dar una muestra de la fuerza de los trabajadores, que hacen funcionar este país, ¡y que pueden también pararlo!

Los financistas ocultos del obispo Fernando Lugo

Cuando saltó a la arena política el obispo Fernando Lugo sus tendenciosos allegados lo presentaron como incuestionable portador de credenciales izquierdistas y con una supuesta militancia en el movimiento de la Teología de la Liberación a cuestas. Pero pronto algo empezó a oler mal en Dinamarca cuando los sectores más retardatarios de la sociedad paraguaya, como los Maccartistas propietarios de medios de comunicación que prosperaron empresarialmente gracias al dictador anticomunista Alfredo Stroessner, saludaron con grandes espacios y favorables comentarios la supuesta inédita incursión de izquierdas en un mundillo dominado desde hacía más de un siglo por exponentes de la más reaccionaria derecha

Narcogobierno colombiano perpetra siniestra masacre en Ecuador
Grupo Internacionalista
2008-03-21 11:38 AM
En la madrugada del 1° de marzo, aviones de guerra de la Fuerza Aérea colombiana lanzaron un ataque contra un campamento de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) ubicado dentro de territorio ecuatoriano. El propósito: asesinar al principal portavoz de las FARC para el exterior, Raúl Reyes. Las huellas digitales del imperialismo norteamericano se ven claramente en este macabro incidente. Ante semejante crimen, la respuesta debe consistir en movilizar a los trabajadores en una lucha de clase contra el imperialismo y a sus aliados criollos. En lugar de esto, el grueso de la izquierda latinoamericana se pone a la cola de los estados burgueses de Ecuador y Venezuela, buscando presionarles para que inicien una guerra contra Colombia. No obstante las muchas diferencias políticas que tenemos con las fuerzas guerrilleras de Colombia, que luchan por una “reconciliación” con sectores de la clase dominante, los trotskistas estamos de su lado en la guerra civil contra el estado capitalista. Pero insistimos que la guerrilla no es el camino a la revolución socialista que debe ser dirigida por la clase obrera a la cabeza de las empobrecidas masas rurales y urbanas. (text/html + 1 comment)

ILWU to Shut Down West Coast Ports May 1 Demanding End to War in Iraq, Afghanistan
Internationalist Group
2008-03-02 12:06 AM
In a major step for the U.S. labor movement, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has announced that it will shut down West Coast ports on May 1, to demand an immediate end to the war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East. This is the first time in decades that an American union has decided to undertake industrial action against a U.S. war. The action announced by the powerful West Coast dock workers union, to stop work to stop the war, should be taken up by unions and labor organizations throughout the United States and internationally. And the purpose of such actions should be not to beg the bourgeois politicians whose hands are covered with blood, having voted for every war budget for six and a half years, but a show of strength of the working people who make this country run, and who can shut it down!

Ron 'deep pockets' Burkle, Sandy 'pockets' Berger, and the Clintons
Margie Burns
2008-02-18 7:09 PM![]()
Globalization runs rampant on both sides of the Clinton family. California billionaire and Hillraiser Ron Burkle, a high-end supporter who has raised over $100,000 for Clinton, recently paid $20 million to Bill Clinton as a fair-market settlement for Mr. Clinton’s services and Clinton’s ownership stake in Burkle’s private investment firm, The Yucaipa Companies. Los Angeles-based Yucaipa, founded in 1986, until recently has invested largely in the U.S.
In September 2007 the Yucaipa company bought a large stake in Xinhua, the Chinese government-owned news organization.
The same month that Burkle’s Yucaipa firm announced its purchase in Xinhua Finance Media, the Chinese financial news provider, Xinhua News Agency demanded that financial news services including Bloomberg and Reuters in China sell information only through Xinhua.

Puerto Rico: All Out to Defend the Teachers’ Struggle!
Internationalist Group
2008-02-17 3:43 PM![]()
We are on the threshold of a major class battle in Puerto Rico. Every day new preparations are announced for the coming strike of the Puerto Rican Teachers Federation (FMPR). With 42,000 members, a majority of them women, the FMPR represents almost all of Puerto Rico’s teachers and is by far the largest union on the island. The Shock Force of the Puerto Rican Police and National Guard are being readied to go after the strikers. The struggle of the Puerto Rican teachers affects everybody. The working class as a whole, students and parents, teachers and defenders of workers’ rights around the world must come out in defense of the FMPR! If there are mass arrests, the response must be massive blockades and spreading the struggle to the point of shutting the island down. In order to win this strike, it is necessary to prepare for a struggle not only of the teachers but within the whole workers movement against the pro-capitalist labor bureaucracy that sabotages the workers’ struggle. Above all, it is necessary to fight against illusions in and ties with bourgeois parties and politicians. It’s high time to begin building a revolutionary internationalist workers party. (image/jpeg)
