 In 1918-19 the German
workers could have taken power. Had they done so world history would
have been very different, as it would have a huge impact on the
workers of Europe, thereby breaking the isolation of Soviet Russia
and thus stopping the Stalinist degeneration. A genuine international
federation of socialist republics could have been built.
Unfortunately the German Communists committed a series of errors,
errors which we must learn from and prepare for the future.

 High-ranking British police officers have expressed concern that Britain may be facing an outburst of street protests. The head of the Metropolitan police's public order branch has spoken of the possibility of riots like those that rocked the country in the 1980s, erupting later this year as people who lose their jobs, homes or savings join a wave of violent mass protests. The perspectives of the police come close to those of the Marxists.

 Today, almost 25 years since the miners’ strike
began, the industry has been decimated, with only a few thousand jobs left. The
proud traditions remain and
many miners have taken their fighting traditions into the wider labour
movement but many of the pit villages are crumbling.
The main
lesson of the Ridley Plan for the labour movement and the politically active
layers of the youth is that a Tory government would be forced to move against
the working class, to deal with the crisis that the capitalist system clearly faces.

 The ICTU has called for a national strike day on March 30th because the employers in both the public and private sectors are reneging on the national wage agreement. The Irish Trade Union leaders are clearly under enormous pressure and have no doubt also been emboldened by the mood of the workers and the show of force on Saturday.

 It is the working class of the world who will
really suffer from the present crisis. Globally, the UN estimates that
unemployment will reach 220m this year. Out of a global workforce of about
3 billion, that’s "only" 7%. But this figure leaves out millions of hidden
unemployed who just cannot even begin to look for work. And as a percentage
of those working in sweat shop and factories around the globe, it is more like
20%.

 At the end of January French students were out of the classroom and back on the streets. On January 29, students and teaching staff joined in the national strike that had an estimated 2.5 million French workers marching in the major cities to prove to President Sarkozy that his provocative remark in the summer of 2007- ‘These days, when there’s a strike in France, nobody notices,’ was as wrong as it was rash. [This article was originally published on February 9.]

 Coupled to the Bologna Process has been the privatisation of education and all that this entails. So now
not only are students faced with the fact that they will have to work harder
and longer hours for a shorter period of time, that the costs of their
education will also increase, but also that their courses may end up being
influenced by some company who’s only real interest in to create profit out of
the process.

 Most
Nigerian workers earn miserably low wages. The present minimum wage is
set at 5,200 Naira (US$36) per month. The workers have now raised the
demand for a 52,000 Naira (US$360) minimum wage, still low compared
to international standards, and yet the Nigerian elite complain that
this will damage the economy!
