Ruling Against Mumia Shows: No Justice in the Capitalist Courts Internationalist Group 2008-03-31 2:38 AM
On March 27, the U.S. appeals court in Philadelphia reaffirmed the frame-up conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the former Black Panther Party spokesman and world-renowned radical journalist who has been locked up on Pennsylvania’s death row for more than a quarter century. After previously rejecting Mumia’s request to present evidence of his innocence, as well as a host of issues showing that he was railroaded by a racist court, the Court turned down Mumia’s request for a new trial. It upheld the 2001 ruling by a federal district judge that ordered a new hearing on the sentence, but limited the “choice” to the living hell of life imprisonment without parole ... or execution. Mumia is innocent. He was declared guilty and sentenced to die because of his revolutionary politics and because for years he had been a thorn in the side of the racist rulers of the misnamed “city of brotherly love.” Around the world, millions have come out in defense of Jamal. This latest ruling, like all those that preceded it, shows that the exploited and oppressed must have no faith in the racist injustice system. We call on the workers movement to mobilize its power to free Mumia now! (text/html)

La Izquierda financiada por George W. Bush Luis Agüero Wagner 2008-03-30 4:55 PM
Advertía Jorge Luis Borges en “El jardín de los senderos que se bifurcan” que la mejor manera de no perderse en un laberinto es tomar siempre hacia la izquierda, consejo que no debemos subestimar si queremos comprender el romance entre la prensa adicta al imperio y un supuesto teólogo de la liberación tercermundista.

Los financistas ocultos del obispo Fernando Lugo Luis Agüero Wagner 2008-03-23 2:34 AM
Cuando saltó a la arena política el obispo Fernando Lugo sus tendenciosos allegados lo presentaron como incuestionable portador de credenciales izquierdistas y con una supuesta militancia en el movimiento de la Teología de la Liberación a cuestas. Pero pronto algo empezó a oler mal en Dinamarca cuando los sectores más retardatarios de la sociedad paraguaya, como los Maccartistas propietarios de medios de comunicación que prosperaron empresarialmente gracias al dictador anticomunista Alfredo Stroessner, saludaron con grandes espacios y favorables comentarios la supuesta inédita incursión de izquierdas en un mundillo dominado desde hacía más de un siglo por exponentes de la más reaccionaria derecha (text/plain)

Desesperación machista y los demonios del Obispo Luis Agüero Wagner 2008-03-23 12:36 AM
Uno de los candidatos a la presidencia del Paraguay para las elecciones del 20 de abril, sorprendió esta semana a su auditorio en un debate confesando haber comprado encuestadores para posicionarse en mejores lugares durante anteriores campañas electorales, lo cual es un indicador de la escasa credibilidad que tienen las empresas que ubican al obispo Fernando Lugo en primer lugar en las preferencias de la ciudadanía paraguaya, la mayoría insertas en un medio conocido por sus falsificaciones piratas y donde hasta la izquierda ha demostrado ser trucha.

Narcogobierno colombiano perpetra siniestra masacre en Ecuador Grupo Internacionalista 2008-03-21 11:38 AM
En la madrugada del 1° de marzo, aviones de guerra de la Fuerza Aérea colombiana lanzaron un ataque contra un campamento de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) ubicado dentro de territorio ecuatoriano. El propósito: asesinar al principal portavoz de las FARC para el exterior, Raúl Reyes. Las huellas digitales del imperialismo norteamericano se ven claramente en este macabro incidente. Ante semejante crimen, la respuesta debe consistir en movilizar a los trabajadores en una lucha de clase contra el imperialismo y a sus aliados criollos. En lugar de esto, el grueso de la izquierda latinoamericana se pone a la cola de los estados burgueses de Ecuador y Venezuela, buscando presionarles para que inicien una guerra contra Colombia. No obstante las muchas diferencias políticas que tenemos con las fuerzas guerrilleras de Colombia, que luchan por una “reconciliación” con sectores de la clase dominante, los trotskistas estamos de su lado en la guerra civil contra el estado capitalista. Pero insistimos que la guerrilla no es el camino a la revolución socialista que debe ser dirigida por la clase obrera a la cabeza de las empobrecidas masas rurales y urbanas. (text/html + 1 comment)

ILWU to Shut Down West Coast Ports May 1 Demanding End to War in Iraq, Afghanistan Internationalist Group 2008-03-02 12:06 AM
In a major step for the U.S. labor movement, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has announced that it will shut down West Coast ports on May 1, to demand an immediate end to the war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East. This is the first time in decades that an American union has decided to undertake industrial action against a U.S. war. The action announced by the powerful West Coast dock workers union, to stop work to stop the war, should be taken up by unions and labor organizations throughout the United States and internationally. And the purpose of such actions should be not to beg the bourgeois politicians whose hands are covered with blood, having voted for every war budget for six and a half years, but a show of strength of the working people who make this country run, and who can shut it down!
