By Rob Sewell

Bolshevism and StalinismAn avalanche of books has recently been published to discredit Lenin, Trotsky and the Russian Revolution. First and foremost of these writers is Professor Robert Service. The aim of his latest book on Trotsky is to prove that Bolshevism leads to Stalinism and totalitarianism. Here Rob Sewell sets the record straight and explains the huge gulf that divided genuine Bolshevism from the monster of Stalinism that was built on the physical destruction of the Bolshevik party.

The government of the Netherlands recently granted the US military use of its islands in the Caribbean, with the excuse that this is to help in the "war against drugs". In reality, this is a direct threat to the Chavez government in Venezuela.

El estudio de la posición de León Trotsky sobre la lucha antiimperialista en América Latina tiene una gran relevancia para la realidad actual de nuestro continente. Concretamente, la teoría de la Revolución Permanente, formulada por Trotsky, dotó al marxismo de la base teórica correcta para comprender en toda su amplitud el carácter de la lucha antiimperialista de las masas trabajadoras en los países ex-coloniales y de capitalismo atrasado.

For tiden er der en del om Yemen i medierne. De fleste rapporter fortæller os intet om den desperate situation, de fattige i landet er i, og slet ikke om de store klassekampe eller om de revolutionære traditioner, der findes i landet.


By Gerry Ruddy

Dopo la recente decisione dell'INLA (Irish National Liberation Army - Esercito di liberazione nazionale irlandese) (1) di rinunciare alla lotta armata e di invitare i propri militanti a perseguire la via politica, è stata pubblicata su The Red Plough un'analisi marxista di questa importante svolta, scritta da Gerry Ruddy. Crediamo che spieghi molto bene le ragioni della critica marxista e per questo lo rendiamo disponibile per i nostri lettori.
