(We publish below a text which the Gruppe Internationaler KommunistInnen, a German group which is relating positively to the International Bureau for the Revolutionary Party, has produced on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, an event which is being commemorated in Germany by both a "Day for Democracy" and a Nazi march.

Parliamentary Path to Socialism?

Letters · In Revolutionary Perspectives 34 we published a letter to the SP form a contact because we considered it raised relevant points and because the SP had not replied to the letter. We have since received a reply from the SP which we have passed on to the contact and which we publish below. The letter which we publish does not seriously address the questions raised.

Only working class struggle can halt capitalism and its wars · For five years international capitalism has been unable to drag itself out of the depths of the most severe economic recession since the Second World War. Soon after September 11th 2001 the international bourgeoisie declared that the world economy's problems could be blamed completely on the terrorist attacks of Al Qaeda on the USA and...

Against our exploiters, their wars and their terrorists - For a workers' fightback · Nobody now believes that the US and its coalition intervened in Iraq to "liberate the Iraqi people from the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein" or to establish an ideal democratic regime that respects human rights.

Against Terrorism and Pacifism - For Class Struggle · A year after the US-British invasion of Iraq the reasons given to justify it have collapsed: Saddam Hussein didn’t have weapons of mass destruction of either the chemical or biological kind. The ones which the USA had given him had been used up against Kurds and Shiites at the end of the first Gulf War in 1991.

For a Definition of the Concept of Decadence

People: 
Publications: 

(From "Prometeo" n.8/2003) · The term decadence, inherent to and in the form of the relations of production and the bourgeois society being referred to, presents itself with both valid and ambiguous aspects. The ambiguity lies in the fact that the idea of decadence, or the progressive decline of the capitalist form of production, proceeds from a kind of ineluctable process of self-destruction...

The roots of the war in Iraq

The USA consumes 19.5 million barrels of oil a day, some 26% of the world's consumption. More than half (9.8 million) is originated in order from: Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Canada, Venezuela, Nigeria and Iraq. Iraq, after Saudi Arabia, possesses the worlds greatest oil reserves and a barrel of its oil costs 5 dollars to produce, whilst that of Texas costs 15 dollars.

China, a boom with feet of clay

All bourgeois economists are terrified by the catastrophic consequences which may be produced by SARS (the so-called severe acute respiratory syndrome) in the Chinese economy and the consequences on an international level. Will the astonishing Chinese economic development succeed in overcoming the panic of recent months or will it decline, dragging the entire world economy into the vortex of...

Stalin and Stalinism

Politics: 

By one of those ironies of history March 2003 saw both the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Stalin and the one hundred and twentieth anniversary of the death of Marx. Despite all bourgeois denigrations (naturally by those who have not read him) Marx demonstrated that capitalist society was not the final stage of human development.
