At a mass rally of 10,000 people on Monday January 10, Venezuela’s president Hugo Chavez announced a new decree aimed at speeding up land reform. Since the Land Act was passed in December 2001, the National Land Institute has already distributed 5.5 million acres of land to peasant cooperatives. Up until now all the land distributed has been state-owned land and there have been no expropriations. The new decree is aimed at the large landed estates (latifundia) that have been left idle or are poorly used. (January 12, 2005) ... read full story / add a comment

Todd Gitlin, Paul Berman and assorted intellectuals of the "decent left" have earned their keep arguing that anti-imperialism is nothing but an echo chamber of nihilism, oedipal rage and tacit support for whomever the governing class declares the enemy. Once upon a time their kind derided the Communist left as window dressing for the gulag; now they argue with parallel duplicity that anti-imperialists are shills for "Islamo-fascist" death cults and suicide bombers. As the gate-keepers of acceptable dissent, that is to say "none," they rarely take time to note what it is, this America, they've declared their loyalty to and what it is exactly the "anti-Americans" oppose. ... read full story / add a comment

The catastrophe in Asia has unleashed an unparalleled feeling of global solidarity. Millions of people around the world have given donations to the people and the countries in need. This global solidarity and the willingness to help and assist have forced western imperialism to promise aid and to offer a temporary freeze on debt repayment. While working people around the globe show genuine sympathy there are reasons to show no trust in the promises given by capitalists and political representatives of imperialism. The Bush administration regards its aid effort as a, “Crucial weapon in a battle for the hearts and minds of Muslims in southern Asia and in much of the rest of the Muslim world, nudging their sentiments in America’s favour”, wrote the San Francisco Chronicle of January 6... ... read full story / add a comment
