We publish here excerpts from and links to articles by Jorge Martin, the international secretary of Hands Off Venezuela; Frank Josué Solar Cabrales, a social sciences professor in Santiago de Cuba; Helen Yaffe, a scholar in Britain who specializes in Cuba’s revolutionary history; and Ike Nahem, a leading activist in Cuba solidarity work in New York City ECUADOR AND VENEZUELA: DANGER SOUTH OF THE BORDER by Paul Kellogg http://www.socialistvoice.ca/?p=1375 It is not difficult to see that the events of September 30, in the Latin American country of Ecuador, amounted to an attempted right-wing coup d’état. Mass mobilizations in the streets and plazas of Quito (the capital) and other cities – in conjunction with action by sections of the armed forces which stayed loyal to the government – stopped the coup before the day was out. But those few hours highlighted, again, the deep dangers facing those fighting for progressive change in Latin America and the Caribbean. +++ Other recent articles: MARIÁTEGUI AND THE ‘PROBLEM OF THE INDIAN’ — A CRITICAL APPRECIATION BY LUIS VITALE Introduced and translated by Richard Fidler http://www.socialistvoice.ca/?p=1344 DID CONSUMERS CAUSE THE BP OIL DISASTER? by Ian Angus http://www.socialistvoice.ca/?p=1324 THE CUBAN REVOLUTION: CHALLENGES AND CHANGES by Dave Holmes http://www.socialistvoice.ca/?p=1369 SOCIALIST VOICE Web: http://www.socialistvoice.ca Email: socialistvo...@sympatico.ca Editors: Ian Angus, Roger Annis, John Riddell Readers are encouraged to forward or distribute Socialist Voice as widely as possible.

[Marxism] Help Needed -- Left articles on population
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == For a research project, I am looking for articles from self-defined Marxist sources in the 1960s and 1970s on the 'population explosion', 'limits to growth,' 'zero population growth' and related topics. I have a good collection of Canadian Trotskyist publications from that period, and a full set of the U.S. SWP's International Socialist Review, but limited access to files of publications from other countries and other political currents. I'd especially like to have sources from pro-Moscow and pro-China groups. Any help would be appreciated -- if you can scan articles for me that would be great, but even just publication information that would help me obtain the articles myself would be useful.

We hear nothing of this in the mainstream media. And ironically, although the left is fiercely critical of biased media coverage, it can also fall in the trap of media distortion, particularly if its coverage dovetails with its own fantasies.
