	Jerre's Thinktank - Friends' Corner - Underpinning the Zionist Occupation
		Abbie Bakan is a leading figure in the fight for social justice in Canada.
		Bakan's summation of the articles by James Petras and Edward Herman -- "don't blame U.S. imperialism; don't blame the oil or arms industries; don't look to U.S. geo-political or military interests; blame the Jews -- especially the rich ones" -- is not quite on the mark.
		Bakan argues tu quoque, "Every capitalist state minimizes the effect of domestic protest." However, the Israeli lobby is not a marginalized dissident group and neither is it wholly domestic.

		We believe that the revolutionary marxist tradition which is our common inheritance as members of the same international tendency, and to which the SWP has made some contribution, makes it our duty to warn against the path now taken by the majority.
		We stressed to David, Brian, and Abbie the importance of mutual tolerance in a small revolutionary group, and we urged them to start from what they had in common, namely the Marxist tradition, and not the petty matters which divided them.
		The occasion was provided by the disintegration of the core of the national leadership, due to the personal antagonisms which developed between David and Abbie, which unleashed both associated conflicts in Toronto, and accumulated resentments of the old leadership in other branches.

	Countrybookshop.co.uk - Negotiating Citizenship
		Abigail B. Bakan is a professor in the Department of Political Studies and the Department of Women's Studies at Queen's University.
		Daiva K. Stasiulis and Abigail B. Bakan challenge traditional liberal and post-national theories of citizenship with a number of approaches: historical documentary analyses, investigation of the political economy of the sending states, interviews with migrant live-in caregivers and nurses, legal analyses of domestic worker case law, and analysis of social movement politics.
		Negotiating Citizenship demonstrates that the transnational character of migrants' lives - their migration and labour strategies, family households, and political practices - offer important challenges to inequitable and exclusionary aspects of contemporary nation-state citizenship.

		This is a central question for many who are looking to explain a global system which causes devastation, poverty and war.
		This article is based upon "Is Marxism Eurocentric?", a talk given by Abbie Bakan, a socialist from Canada, at the recent Marxism 2000 event.
		THE CHARGE of "Eurocentrism" is that Marxism is only relevant to the residents of Europe, or more specifically to people of Anglo-Saxon European descent.

		The study group members soon became influenced by Lenin and considered themselves to be working under the principles of "democratic centralism", agreeing to discuss all issues fully and to come to collective decisions that would be commonly implemented.
		In practice, however, the main activities of the group were simply collective discussion.
		The second event was in November 1956, when Soviet tanks and aircraft mowed over thousands of rebellious Hungarians in the streets of Budapest.

		In 1770, pre-Revolutionary colonial United States, fl slaves produced three-quarters of the exports, but comprised only 18 per cent of the total population.

	Open Letter to the International Socialists
		I hope you will seriously consider what I have to say.
		I was expelled by Abbie Bakan on December 10, 1997 for allegedly `infiltrating' the International Socialists (IS) on behalf of the International Bolshevik Tendency (IBT) and the Trotskyist League of Canada (TL).
		The allegation is an obvious lie - anyone who knows anything about the IBT and the TL knows that they are competing organizations.
