Humanity is once again about to live one of its defining moments. The spectre of war is looming upon us. U.S. imperialism is about to unleash its fury upon the people of Iraq and the attack could be imminent. Every day, the U.S. State apparatus is waging a preparatory propaganda war on the world scale to prepare public opinion for the next bloody onslaught.

In present conditions we could have entitled this issue simply "socialism or barbarism" because that is precisely where we are in world history. It is not a rhetorical flourish, nor an exaggeration, to say that humanity is approaching a massive social and political crisis. The events of this year have speeded that process up.

We find ourselves facing yet another political/organisational crisis of the ICC, the conclusion of which is still undecided. It occurs at a delicate moment for the capitalist dynamic as well as the proletarian movement. On the bourgeois side, the drive towards war has accelerated with the military initiative of the USA following the attack on the World Trade Centre.

Introduction · The Argentinian economic collapse is a preview of future turmoil which capitalism's crisis will inevitably bring.

(From our Latin American correspondent) · A Little History · Argentina's current crisis of power has not only arisen because of the capitalist financial collapse, but from the aptitude of the hardest hit sectors of the proletariat to translate the experience of the last 20 years - during which the capitalist regime, whether under the military boot or under democracy, has plunged the working...

Argentina, and indeed most of Latin America, remains on the edge of a social cataclysm. There is not a day goes by without some major protest against the state of the economy. In June two more protestors were shot in cold blood by the police which has only led to more protests. These have now spread to neighbouring Uruguay.

(Statement of the IBRP) · Argentina, pummelled by an economic, financial and political crisis which has no precedent in this post second world war period, has been torn apart and the vast majority of its population reduced to hunger. When the media and the institutions that govern the world economy, like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, break the wall of silence that they have...

Given the fact that until recently the IBRP has considered the group in Los Angeles, formerly know as Los Angeles Workers' Voice, as an organisation politically sympathetic and working towards closer relations and eventual integration with the Bureau as a whole, it is important to clarify that this is no longer the situation.

New Wars in the Middle East · In June Bush made his long awaited speech on the Palestine conflict. This gave an indication of the path US imperialism has chosen to follow. By demanding a more moderate Palestinian leadership, the US is really demanding Palestinian surrender to Israeli annexations. The US is thereby ensuring that the present carnage in Palestine continues.

    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. Postage charges should be added. If in the UK, and paying direct to our bank account, first class postage is free. If via Paypal add £2. For Europe cost of a copy with postage is €20 (EUR), for Australia it is $42 (AUD) and for the USA and anywhere else in the world it is $27 (USD).
