1931 the 14th of April was declared the 2nd Republic of Spain. In its short life it brought hope, inspiration, creative solutions, the values of fraternity, liberty, equality to countless people who had lived in near feudal conditions through dictatorship. It's "firsts" were many- free education, free health care, over 50% of the arable land organised in autonomous collectives, the first parliamentary representation by anarchists, the first political radio broadcasts, the first Catalan & Basque republics were declared as an associate component within it's state architecture. All too quickly it fell, as the first victim of European fascism. ... read full story / add a comment

The reaction of the mainstream media and ruling classes to the death of pope John II must have, at the very least, bemused many people. How, after all, could this elderly leader of medieval, obscurantist Roman catholicism, which has been mired in so much scandal of late, have beguiled the world in the way the media is now claiming ‘John Paul the Great’ did so miraculously? Surely it defies the laws of history! ... read full story / add a comment

The general consensus is that if gas prices fall ChevronTexaco’s $16 billion purchase of Unocal was a huge mistake. The author of this article makes the convincing argument that this “risk” was made because ChevronTexaco’s CEO, David O’Reilly, knows that the peak in oil production is going to happen sooner rather then later. Though the author points out that the government is doing little about the situation he fails to note that the funded research into hydrogen as a fuel is useless without a way to make Hydrogen without oil. ... read full story / add a comment

Calling all anti-capitalists!! A new film entitled "Capitalism and Other Kids' Stuff", which argues the anti-capitalist case in simple language can be viewed free at www.socialist-tv.com The film, made by 4 members of The Socialist Party, is 49 minutes in duration and, beginning with a look at how we treat our children, explains in non-jargonised terms, the insanity of a system that places profit before human need. Please note, this is not a Party political broadcast, just a sane look at an insane world that is very much crying out for real change. ... read full story / add a comment |
