Originally published by the Communist Workers Organisation, British section of the International Bureau for the Revolutionary Party (IBRP). · The attack on the World Trade Centre was also an attack on the workers who made up the majority of those who died.

Opening shots · This special edition of Internationalist Notes is entirely devoted to the state of war and the imperialist tensions going on across the world. Napoleon Bonaparte once commented that: · "Blood-letting is part of the combinations of political medicine." · Later, the Prussian general Karl Von Clausewitz wrote that: · "War is the simple continuation of politics, but by other means.

It is absolutely central to the re-establishment of working class political independence that the present conflict is understood as imperialist on both sides. The fact that the Taleban are overwhelmingly outgunned by their Western enemies cannot blind us to the fact that they are not "anti-imperialist".

(From an American correspondant) · The US bourgeoisie seem to have reinvented the United Front. Ironically the slogan now is "united we stand". Clearly the attack gives US imperialism an enormous advantage in the world. Any country not supporting the US will be an enemy of the US forcing every power to take sides.

Extract from Socialism or Barbarism, CWO, UK, 1994. (I.N. - Canada) · In peace and in war, the bourgeoisie tries to get workers to identify with their ‘own’ country. For generations we have been told that we will all lose our jobs if we don’t work as hard as workers in other countries, precisely the same message that is given to workers everywhere.

Comrades! · The terrible attack in the USA which has resulted in the death of many thousands of unarmed victims, the majority of them workers who have all our class solidarity, is, by virtue of the place where it happened and by the powerful symbolic value of the targets hit, a further step towards a war of vast extent.

Internationalist Communist

Davos, Quebec, Gothenburg, Genoa... this year has been one of 'anti-capitalist' protests. To judge by the response from state security forces it seems that governments see these protests as a massive threat. In fact the anti-capitalist or anti-globalisation movement is no more than a thorn in the side for the powers-that-be.

By this we mean the present mode of existence of capitalism made up of the undisputed rule of finance capital on the one hand and the capacity to distribute throughout the entire...

    Russia: Revolution and Counter-Revolution, 1905-1924 - A View from the Communist Left

    Written by Jock Dominie. £12, 276pp.

    The Russian Revolution remains a landmark event in history. For the bourgeois historians, the October Revolution is thought to be a tragedy that set back the achievements of the “democratic” February Revolution, and allowed the Bolsheviks to wreak havoc on their citizens and the world. For the Stalinists, the events of 1917 paved the way for the birth of the USSR, which they point to as a prototypical example of “socialism in one country”. In reality, the February and October Revolutions were both part of the same proletarian revolution.

    The book can be ordered by emailing us at uk@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details, or by donating the cost of the publications required via Paypal using the “Donate” button.
