Challenge -- Dec. 3 That is why PLP participates in the fight against downsizing, imperialist war, racist terror, etc.: to show our co-workers that the only way out of the hell of capitalism and its countless crises is to smash it with communist revolution. The more bosses that attack workers, will result in more workers asking, "Why?" PLP has the answer and the solution: Smash the bosses and fight for a society where workers rule and the only downsizing will be done to the Levi's, Aztec and all bosses. But war also creates the conditions for workers to put an end to this murderous downsizing, warmaking system and to build a new, one world: where production is not for sale and for the benefit of a group of capitalists, but rather serves the needs of the billions of workers who now have nothing. www.plp.org /cd97/cd1203.html

Foods Network for the world Industry - Fight to Freedom Workers injured on the job may then face dismissal and are systematically denied their freedom to form unions and bargain collectively.

The Militant - October 15, 2001 -- Labor battles are key to fight against war This, along with articles on the mine workers' fight for safety, the protests in Cincinnati against the freeing of the cop who killed Timothy Thomas, and the breadth of articles from around the world helped convince people to purchase the paper.

ISO vs. SWP: Who's More Opportunist? Early this year a fierce faction fight erupted within the International Socialist Tendency (IST), between its U.S. affiliate, the International Socialist Organization (ISO), and the IST's dominant center, the British Socialist Workers Party (SWP). Genuine Marxists see a fundamental difference between workers' desires to fight for reforms and reformism -- the ideology that opposes revolution with a program for the reform of capitalism. To build a party which could be depended on to fight for revolution meant always fighting for the party to sink its roots deeper in the most exploited layers of its class. www.lrp-cofi.org /PR/ISOSWPPR61.html   (5383 words)

Shipmates talked to him about the fight for Puerto Rican independence and explained how Washington installed and helped maintain in power Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, the military dictator of the Dominican Republic at the time. But thousands of United Auto Workers (UAW-CIO) members, as well as workers from American Federation of Labor (AFL) locals, responded to a call by 13 UAW local officials to come to the aid of the Square D workers. www.themilitant.com /1995/5944/5944_5.html   (4048 words)

James Burnham He allied with Max Shachtman in a faction fight with the majority in the party led by James Cannon over the question of the nature of the Soviet Union. Cannon, backed by Leon Trotsky held that the USSR was a degenerated workers state while Shachtman and Burnham contended that the Soviet Union was bureaucratic collectivist and thus not worthy of being supported even critically. Burnham was a leading American Trotskyist in the 1930s, forming what became the Socialist Workers Party, which was a communist and anti-Stalinist party. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/j/ja/james_burnham.html   (506 words)

Interview with Key Leader of Venezuelan Workers Movement Pedro Eusse : LA IMC Fight Back!: Tell us about the Venezuelan workers’ movement, the unions and the Central Unitaria de Trabajadores de Venezuela (CUTV), or United Workers’ Confederation of Venezuela. In making change, we in the progressive union sectors are helping the Bolivarian Revolution; we make it stronger, as is the case of our Confederation, the CUTV, and also appearing this year, a new union confederation named National Union of Workers (UNT) with whom we hold fraternal relations.

Liga Internacional de los Trabajadores Against the bureaucratic apparatuses and against the leaders who speak in the name of the workers and the masses, we say: it is the workers who must decide; fight for the widest democracy at all levels, in the struggles in the unions, in the struggles for the land. The parties we fight to build are revolutionary workers’ parties, sections of the reconstructed Fourth International, organised on the principles of democratic centralism in all countries. We are in favour of all the methods of political struggle that the workers’ movement has adopted through its experience, and we are against those petty-bourgeois groups which try to substitute for these struggles isolated actions of the masses or individual terrorism or elitist guerrilla war. www.litci.org /reunionintern1.html   (506 words)

International Socialist Organization To make the unions fight for workers’ interests, rank-and-file workers must organize themselves independent of the union officials. A socialist society can only be built when workers collectively seize control of that wealth and democratically plan its production and distribution according to human needs instead of profit. To achieve socialism, the most militant workers must be organized into a revolutionary socialist party to provide political leadership and organization. www.internationalsocialist.org /wherewestand.shtml   (506 words)

Eye - Fight the power - 02.17.05 Organized labour concentrates the power of the workers, a concentration that's anathema to corporations like Wal-Mart, which is why they rely on the divide-and-conquer approach they're taking in Jonquière. If the other thousands of Wal-Mart workers, each fearing for his or her paycheque, responds as Wal-Mart hopes, things will go back to usual. The balance to that power has to be worked at a little, thought about, organized and scrupulously maintained across a much more dispersed potential power base. www.eye.net /eye/issue/issue_02.17.05/op/editorial.html   (726 words)

The Workers' Fight against Fascism: by Karl Korsch To fight against fascism means for the workers in the hitherto democratic countries to fight first of all against the democratic branch of fascism within their own countries. To step from the ground on which the workers' class struggle against capitalism was waged in the preceding epoch to the ground on which it must be continued today presupposes full insight into a historical fact that is not less a fact because it has served as a theoretical basis for the claims of fascism. They must learn to fight fascism on its own ground which, as we have said before, is entirely different from the very popular, but in fact self-destructive, advice that the anti-fascists should learn to fight fascism by adopting fascist methods. www.marxists.org /archive/korsch/1941/fascism.htm   (726 words)

The Workers League and the founding of the Socialist Equality Party If one examines the documents of that period, one will find that the party was attempting to formulate more exactly the relationship between the fight for the labor party and the development of the Workers League as a revolutionary party. The Workers League, in forming a new party, must demarcate itself clearly from all the petty- bourgeois radical groups and their alphabet soup of pseudorevolutionary initials and various names from Marxist-Leninist Collective, to Lenin-Trotsky party, League of Communist Revolutionaries, etc. The more "revolutionary" the name, the more rotten their opportunism. While the resolution of July 1988 still used the formulation labor party based on the trade unions, it marked a major advance in our understanding, in concrete terms, of the relationship between the fight for the labor party and the development of the revolutionary movement. www.wsws.org /sections/category/icfi/wlsep.shtml   (325 words)

Algeria: Two-day general strike against government privatisation plans While the UGTA expresses the general despair and also the willingness to fight against privatisations, the lack of an independent position and programme defending the interests of the working class and poor is an obstacle for the struggle of the working masses and poor. But history has shown that for the working class the only option is to fight on an internationalist programme defending and connecting the interests of the working class and the poor worldwide in the struggle for socialism. One of the aims of the leadership is to conclude a 'strategic political partnership' with France, in the words of the Algerian Foreign Minister Abdelaziz Belkhadem. www.socialistworld.net /eng/2003/03/01algeria.html   (325 words)

Alliance for Workers' Liberty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Workers' Fight was renamed Workers Action and went over to a weekly publication schedule and the groups theoretical journal was now entitled International Communist. The Alliance for Workers' Liberty (AWL), also known as Workers' Liberty is a small Marxist group based in the United Kingdom.

bs-jan17b.asp The marxist view is that the struggle for reforms is a great school for the workers: they learn how to fight, they learn how to organize themselves, they learn how powerful they are, they learn (most importantly) who their real friends and enemies are. Liu is opposing the struggle for reforms on the grounds that it undermines the struggle for socialism--by leaving workers satisfied with crumbs from the capitalists' table. The workers struggled against the capitalists, they organized strikes and unions, while the socialists stood aside from the working-class movement, formulated doctrines criticising the contemporary capitalist, bourgeois system of society and demanding its replacement by another system, the higher, socialist system. www.leninism.org /stream/99/zhang/bs-jan17b.asp   (2778 words)
