Venezuelanalysis has been showing both candidates delivering long, 
impassioned speeches just after the election results were announced. 
With the results at 50.7% for Maduro against 49.1% for Capriles, the 
Bolivarian revolution has from appearances suffered a serious setback. A 
recount has been agreed to by Maduro, and accusations of fraud are being 
hurled by Capriles. From what I understand of Spanish, he is also 
demanding a compromise, in that the country is so divided. That will, in 
effect, mean that his program will be incorporated into the process, and 
that will surely blunt the thrust of the revolution. The ashen, somber 
faces of Maduros's supporters behind him on the platform indicated to me 
how serious they feel the outcome is for their project.

[Marxism] Review of must-read book on Latin American Spring, 21st century socialism

[Stuart Munckton]

==
Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.

The authors conclude that the "long Latin American spring" is a "period of
turbulence and transition". They write: "Twenty-first century socialism in
Latin America is a complex process of change sweeping the region ... [in
which] the banner of socialism is unfurling at a very distinct pace in each
country".

Nonetheless, the very fact the socialist banner is unfurling at all is of
great significance at a time of capitalist crisis at its very heart,
including the capitalist-induced ecological crisis. This makes this book --
which combines a useful introduction into the changes with discussion on
the theoretical and strategic implications -- an absolute must-read.

In the week leading up to Venezuela’s April 14 presidential elections,
whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks published a classified cable indicating
that US-based aid organisations were working to overthrow the government
and defend US corporate interests in the Andean country.

Sent from the US embassy in Caracas on November 2006, the cable details how
dozens of non-government organisations (NGOs) are financially maintained by
US government-funded US Agency for International Development (USAID) and
the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI). This includes “over 300
Venezuelan civil society organizations”, ranging from disability advocates
to education programs.

[Marxism] A Keynsian speaks

[Gary MacLennan]

Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.

In the Guardian Will Hutton wrote:

Trade unions certainly needed the Thatcher treatment in terms of both
accepting the rule of law and the need for responsibilities alongside their
rights. But companies, shareholders, banks and wider finance also needed
this treatment. But as "her people" and part of the hegemonic alliance she
aimed to create, they would never get the same medicine. Instead, her Big
Bangin
1986, allowing banks worldwide to combine investment and commercial
banking in London, was a monster sweetheart deal to please her own
constituency. Britain became the centre of a global financial boom, but at
home this meant an intensification of the financial system's
dysfunctionality, helped by little regulation and a self-defeating credit
boom, worsening the anti-investment, short-termist that needed to be
reformed. This is now obvious to all. But for nearly 30 years, the apparent
success of Thatcherism hid the need.

My comment:  Hutton's article on Thatcher is worth a read if one can
control the gag reflex. He is critical of her but reserves his praise for
her defeat of the unions.  He represents the 1970s as a crisis of
governability.  The trade unions were too strong and the "rights" of
parliament had to be asserted, he argues.

Reading his analysis of union power, I can only say "I wish!"

He then goes on as above to describe the rise of the market.  He does not
admit that this is where governability shifted to.  He is unable to
conceive of such a notion. But the revelations of the corruption of
politicians by the Murdoch clan are just the tip of the ice berg when it
comes to how Parliament lay down before the city. The whole notion of the
banks as "too big to fail" and the unspoken corollary of the working-class
as "too small to succeed", clearly shows the constructing of commonsense
around the power of the capitalist class.

But Hutton is worried.  He is honest enough to see that Britain is not
working.  He describes how he is part of a committee chaired by Lord Adonis
(!) to introduce a kind of watered down Keynesianism to the devastated
North East.  The reintroducing of the state as partner to capital is for
him the solution.  He also fusses a little over the crushing of the unions
in that it has meant that 60% of British workers have no vocation.

My own thoughts are that the unions were not powerful enough in the 70s.
They were powerful certainly but they did not challenge the system
fundamentally.  They were much too economist. If there had been a crisis of
governability as Hutton alleges that would actually have created a whole
different kind of politics.

[Marxism] Lars Lih takes a new look at Lenin on democratic centralism

[John Riddell]

==
Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.

Published today at http://johnriddell.wordpress.com:

Fortunes of a formula: From 'democratic centralism' to 'democratic
centralism'
By Lars T. Lih

Excerpts from this new and innovative study:

"Lenin only employed the term, 'democratic centralism', in two strictly
limited periods: 1906-07 and 1920-21.. In each of these two periods, Lenin's
use of the term was triggered by groups to which he was opposed: by the
Mensheviks in 1906-07 and the Democratic Centralist group headed by N
Osinsky and others in 1920. In neither period do we find any systematic
exposition of the meaning of the term. Lenin uses it in passing to make
particular points. Most strikingly, there is barely any connection between
the meaning of the term as used in 1906-07 and in 1920-21..

"After reviewing this material, I am compelled to conclude that the common
supposition that Lenin had a particular organizational philosophy called
"democratic centralism" that was distinct or essential to Bolshevism is
something of a myth.

[Marxism] FYI: Draft Text of proposed message re: AFL-CIO National Convention, Sept 8-12, 2013, Los Anhgeles

[jeremy]

Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.

FYI Text of message posted on my web-site at:   http://www.infowells.com

Attention All "Rank and File" Workers and Members of an AFL-CIO Union! 

The quadrennial AFL-CIO National Convention is to be held Sept. 8-12, 2013, in 
Los Angeles, CA.. 

 Please consider supporting. or becoming yourself, a convention delegate from 
your AFL-CIO union local, to support these new fight-back strategies and to 
elect, or become part of, a new leadership to implement them!

  These new strategies, under new AFL-CIO leadership, will powerfully fight 
back for immediate economic justice by electing pro-labor candidates to every 
level of local, state, and federal government. In the long term, working people 
will be united in a new Solidarity Party to fight for a new socialist economy 
"of, by, and for the people". 

  AFL-CIO President Trumka, and his "leadership" team, hope to stay in power 
for another four years. But these current office holders have done nothing to 
stop the further decline of AFL-CIO membership (400,000 decline in 2012). 

With President Trumka's abject support of Obama and the Democratic Party, the 
existing AFL-CIO "leadership" is apparently clueless. Despite the dire 
organizational, political and economic crises facing organized labor and all 
working people, there are no new strategies 
from the incumbent leadership to fight back. 

What new organizational, political and economic strategies could a new AFL-CIO 
leadership use to fight back for the betterment of all working people?

What are the new economic and political realities facing organized labor that 
now demand new strategies?

1. Simple trade unionism, relying only on labor contracts, by itself has failed 
to sufficiently promote the economic betterment of organized workers. Most of 
the factors that mean a decent standard of living for working people are 
determined by laws passed by pro-labor officials at every level of local, State 
and Federal government. 

2. The "capitalist economy" serves to maximize the profit and wealth of the 
corporate-capitalist top 1%, by maximizing the exploitation (minimizing the 
wealth) of the bottom 99%. Workers, even with militant trade unionism, cannot 
fight back in a globalized capitalist world economy. Trade unionism, by itself, 
is kept powerless to fight back effectively in a capitalist-controlled economy. 

3. For the economic survival and betterment of the working class majority, the 
"capitalist economy" must end. The transitional struggle for a new "socialist 
economy", that provides a universal minimum standard of living for all, should 
begin with the organized labor movement. 

4. Thus a new AFL-CIO leadership should call for a new political party, The 
Solidarity Party, to unite politically trade unionized and unorganized workers, 
to replace both corporate-corrupted Democratic and Republican Parties. The 
Solidarity Party, accepting no corporate money or agendas, will elect pro-labor 
lawmakers to rebuild the economy for the economic betterment of all working 
people. 

5. A new AFL-CIO leadership should help produce, sponsor and demand a nightly 
PBS television program that presents news and current affairs commentary from a 
pro-labor economic perspective. 

End the Barbarism of Capitalism!
Fight Back for an Eco-Socialist Economy!

Syria crisis forces Hamas to abandon Bashar Al Assad for new allies

Palestinian group allegedly helping train units of the rebel Free Syrian Army

By Nicholas Blanford
Published: 14:58 April 10, 2013
Gulf News

Dubai: Before the uprising against Syrian President Bashar Al Assad began in 
2011, Hamas was a key ally of Damascus and a component of the Iran-led ‘axis 
of resistance’ that challenged Israel and the West in the Middle East.

But after two years of bloodshed in Syria, Hamas has abandoned Damascus and 
distanced itself from Iran, a major supporter of Al Assad’s regime. Instead 
the Palestinian group is courting potential new suitors, particularly the 
small but influential Gulf state of Qatar, and Egypt, which controls the 
crucial southern border of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip and is ruled by the 
Muslim Brotherhood, the ideological parent of Hamas.

“The Hamas split with Damascus is undeniable. Hamas could not maintain any 
relationship with the Syrian regime in the face of the wide and deep 
opprobrium it faces in the Sunni street, Hamas’ principal support base,” 
says Randa Slim, a research fellow at the New America Foundation and a 
scholar at the Middle East Institute.

But given the shifting dynamics of the region and the sharpening of the 
Sunni-Shiite divide, Hamas still appears to be keeping its options open with 
its former patron Iran and fellow anti-Israel resistance group, the Lebanese 
Shiite group Hezbollah. “Hamas is forced to navigate uncharted waters 
post-Arab Spring and it is in its interest to keep all channels open,” says 
Slim.

Military support

The extent of the rupture between Hamas and Al Assad’s regime is underscored 
by the fact that the Palestinian group is allegedly helping train units of 
the rebel Free Syrian Army in several areas of eastern Damascus, according 
to western diplomats and sources in the Syrian opposition.

The training appears to be specialised, focusing on helping the rebels 
develop better rockets and dig tunnels from which they can launch attacks in 
preperation for a widely anticipated offensive to uproot the regime from the 
capital. The Ezzidine Al Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, has 
extensive experience at building tunnels in the Gaza Strip, some for 
smuggling weapons and goods from neighbouring Egypt, and others to 
infiltrate Israel or launch attacks against Israeli outposts.

“The Qassam Brigades have been training units very close to Damascus — in 
Yalda, Jaramana, Babbila. These are specialists. They are really good,” says 
a western diplomat with high-level contacts in Al Assad’s regime and the 
Syrian opposition who visits Damascus regularly.

A Syrian opposition source who lives in Damascus confirmed that tunnels were 
being dug in some areas under rebel control and that the regime is aware of 
the tactic. The source says that the Syrian army has dug a seven-yard deep 
trench “to cut off any extending tunnel” around the perimeter of Mezzeh 
airport, a key military facility in Damascus, and similar measures have been 
taken around Rawda presidential palace in the centre of the capital.

But a senior Hamas official categorically denied allegations that Hamas 
fighters are training FSA rebels or are involved in any military activities 
in Syria. “Our position is clear on what is happening in Syria and we 
believe there must be a political solution,” says Osama Hamdan, who lives in 
Lebanon.

“There are no members of Ezzidine Al Qassam or any members of Hamas in 
Syria. We don’t interfere in the internal problems of Syria. Our members 
there are normal civilians, Syrian Palestinians, who live with their 
families there. From the beginning of what has happened in Syria we rejected 
as a movement any involvement of any Palestinian in the current events in 
Syria.”

Qatar’s role

For now, Qatar has emerged as Hamas’s new sponsor. Hamas chief Khalid 
Mesha’al lives in the capital Doha, while Hamas has opened offices in Cairo. 
The Gulf state helped cement its relationship with Hamas in October 2012, 
when Emir Shaikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani became the first foreign head of 
state to visit Hamas-run

If this is true, it creates some interestingsituations. Hamas has some 
serious Sunni allegiances but some members do not want to emphasize the group's 
religiosity.  Its social programs are well known as is its classification as 
terrorist by DC.  Its political alliances with leftist groups tend to be 
tenuous, but do exist. Not sure what to make of this.
