	Heaven on Earth . The Film: Socialist Scholars Conference \| PBS
		Socialists very much operate with a notion of utopia - of a concrete, better world built on equality and democracy that overcomes the division of labor - and they all operate with some conception, some model, of how that could be done.
		Because there were three basic moments as I see it to the socialist project: one is the quest for economic reform and social justice, the second is the commitment to political democracy and republicanism, and the third is to internationalism and fostering a cosmopolitan sensibility.
		The attack on labor unions, the attack on community organizations, and also one has to say almost a type of exhaustion with regard to fighting back on this level, that is to say there’s a sense that one’s not quite sure what the goals are any longer.

	Socialist Action: Who We Are and What We Stand For
		Socialist Action is a dynamic newspaper that has been arriving in workers’ mailboxes and finding its ways into the hands of countless activists at protests, street corners and plant gates every month since 1983.
		We fight for a socialist world that is democratically controlled by workers through their own institutions.
		It should also be said that while we support the tactic of the united front, we are opposed to popular fronts – multi-class alliances that subordinate the interests of workers to that of a wing of the capitalist class.

		And on the other side, the revolutionary forces in Cuban society may also seek to transform this ambiguous electoral institution into a genuine democratic agency of the political dictatorship of the working class.
		The revolutionaries in Cuba are fully aware that it is second nature for imperialist capitalism to infiltrate the democratic institutions of the workers, their unions, and their parties to corrupt and transform workers' leaders into their labor and/or "socialist" lieutenants.
		After all, the predominant policies followed by these exemplary revolutionists of action are an expression of their confidence in the working class and the historic alternatives facing the human race: either forward to socialism, or barbarism, or worse will be its fate.

		December 2003 while labour leaders from the National Union of Shop and Distributive Employees (NUSDE) were addressing the workers who were protesting against appalling and oppressive working conditions in the company, including the refusal of the company management to allow workers to belong to a trade union.
		We call on the leadership of the trade unions and the NLC to organise a comprehensive programme of mass mobilisation, including the holding of mass rallies, protests and strike actions to put an end to the current spate of attacks on working people's living standard and democratic rights.
		The relentless nature of these attacks shows that the strategy of labour leaders to avoid mass struggles against the government and the employers and to seek to dissuade the latter simply by what they call dialogue is false and counter-productive and can only continue to worsen the deplorable conditions of the working people.

	A war for oil in Colombia?
		Uribe’s effort to expand his powers with a 2003 referendum failed--and a left-wing former union leader, Luis Eduardo "Lucho" Garzon, won election as mayor of the capital city of Bogotá.
		Meanwhile, he escalated the government’s long-running war with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and the National Liberation Army by sending the army into rebel-held territories--with the enthusiastic backing of the Bush administration.
