 The WIL supports the recent march in Philadelphia on the 19th of March and the move toward class independent politics in Pennsylvania. Even though president Obama promised “change,” workers are angry that the administration has continued the policies of the Bush administration. We throw our whole hearted support behind Jack Shea in his quest for Congress, just as we throw the same support behind the Americans who are looking for actual change, change that only Labor candidates can provide! Onward to Victory in Pennsylvania! |

 The Venezuelan revolution is at a crossroads – either it proceeds to expropriate the bourgeoisie and do away with the bourgeois state or the right-wing reactionary oligarchy will start to gain ground and threaten all that has been achieved so far. In this context the PSUV is the key. It must adopt a Marxist programme. That is why the Marxists have launched Lucha de Clases (Class Struggle) as a tool for the transformation of the PSUV into a Marxist revolutionary party capable of leading the socialist revolution.

 April 11-13 marks 8 years since the revolutionary movement of the masses swiftly defeated the counter-revolutionary coup in Venezuela. It is worth re-reading this article by Alan Woods and Ted Grant, which was widely circulated amongst working class activists in Venezuela at the time and laid basis for the formation of the Marxist tendency. The tasks outlined at the end of the article remain, mostly, unfulfilled. Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Venezuela

 United States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has openly declared that the massive trauma, dislocation and death suffered by thousands of people in the City of New Orleans, when that city was stricken by Hurricane Katrina five years ago, was “the best thing to happen to the education system in New Orleans.” The devastating event “woke up the community and helped it discover that it had to do better.”
...For many working people, it will be difficult to accept that the man placed in oversight of national public education policy by President Barack Obama has so openly displayed such an insensitive philosophy. But Arne Duncan has a long track record of callous behavior. |

 On the rainy afternoon of Sunday, March 28, between 15 and 20 workers and students piled into a small meeting room just off the University of Pittsburgh's main campus to hear the Workers International League put forth its perspective on why workers in the U.S. need a mass party of Labor based on the trade unions, and why such a party needs to be based on a socialist program. With three short introductions to the topic and a very detailed question and answer session, the attendees we spoke to said they got a lot out of the event, and many expressed enthusiasm in the Pittsburgh Branch's next public meeting. |

 “Against the collective power of the propertied classes the working class cannot act, as a class, except by constituting itself into a political party, distinct from, and opposed to, all old parties formed by the propertied classes.

Braddock, PA, a tiny suburb of Pittsburgh. A rotting mausoleum for the region’s once-great industrial splendor. Now a struggling town without one of its most important lifelines – the hospital which served the community for over 100 years. |
