Monopoly Capitalism By Will Roche There has been no levelling off of the global economy, as economists predicted.

From colonialism, we have moved into the age of multinational corporate domination. ‘Transitional Communities’ - a dead end for the environment By Andy Fenwick At a recent meeting of a local Labour Party Branch in Worcester, Britain, a slick high tech presentation was given by a group called Transition Worcester, who said they had the answer to the environmental crisis.

De a rezsimnek nem sikerült szétzúzni a munkások, parasztok és fiatalok mozgalmát. Ellenkezőleg, ők most még felkészültebbek politikailag, jobban vannak szerveződve és készek harcolni az oligarchiák ellen.
