The World Socialist: Class against class
http://theworldsocialist.blogspot.com/2011/06/class-against-class.html
A blog of the World Socialist Party (US) www.wspus.org. Thursday, June 2, 2011. It’s exploitation that causes workers’ problems. Capitalism labour to make profit, to make big money for a few at the expense and from the labour of the majority, i.e. exploitation. None of the simple pleasures mentioned above are beyond the capitalists’ reach however. They, the tiny minority, can have it all. But, actually, who is dispensable, who indispensable? It’s a vicious circle of individual or community issues r...

The World Socialist: November 2009
http://theworldsocialist.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
A blog of the World Socialist Party (US) www.wspus.org. Friday, November 20, 2009. 1789: France’s bourgeois revolution. From the Socialist Standard. These were all survivals from feudalism, though it would be inaccurate to describe French society on the eve of the revolution as feudalism. Capitalism had long been developing there and in fact many of the lordships of the manor had been bought by rich non-nobles from the towns as an investment for the income this procured them. Aims of the 1789 Revolution.

The World Socialist: August 2009
http://theworldsocialist.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
A blog of the World Socialist Party (US) www.wspus.org. Tuesday, August 18, 2009. The power behind the shame. From this month’s Socialist Standard. It was the political power that the Catholic Church once exercised in Ireland that allowed it to cover up for so long the child abuse exposed in the recent Ryan Report. The rest of our delegation were untroubled by the implications of the suggestion that the Leader of the Irish Labour Party who held the Labour portfolio in the Irish government overtly agreed ...

The World Socialist: The Killing of Bin Laden: Understanding the American Reaction
http://theworldsocialist.blogspot.com/2011/05/killing-of-bin-laden-understanding.html
A blog of the World Socialist Party (US) www.wspus.org. Monday, May 23, 2011. The Killing of Bin Laden: Understanding the American Reaction. A large majority of Americans – 87 percent, according to one poll – approve of the killing of Bin Laden. Many were visibly overcome by joy when they heard the news, and the subsequent warning by CIA director Leon Panetta that the operation would actually increase the terrorist threat to the US only slightly damped their spirits. Perhaps it has something to do with r...

A blog of the World Socialist Party (US) www.wspus.org. Saturday, March 24, 2012. The election of Michael Sata of the Peoples Front (PF) as President is what is dubbed a new dawn in Zambian politics. Reading through the newspaper headlines one may easily notice the absence of political criticism today. The PF has been a pro-poor people’s budget – in the sense that the government has reduced pay as you earn income tax below those earning K2 million. Apart from enacting commissions of enquiry into the priv...

Reacktion Books: 2011. It is characteristic of crises that the stories we are expected to believe suddenly change. But how can we understand the change?
