No to the Bailout of the Capitalist Speculators! Internationalist Group 2008-09-28 3:46 PM
The financial crisis that has been heating up since early 2007 reached the boiling point in late September. Credit markets virtually stopped functioning. A full-blown panic swept stock markets worldwide. The U.S. economy is in the throes of a recession that could turn into a Depression lasting for years. In these dire straits, the Wall Street speculators who set off this crisis are demanding that the government rescue them with a bailout priced at $700 billion. The actual costs will be far higher, a trillion dollars or more. Meanwhile, the Democrats are pushing hardest for the Bush bailout of the banks. Presidential candidate Barack Obama blames "greed" for the crisis on Wall Street (capitalism without greed?) and says there must be no "blank check to Washington" -- meaning he's for putting in a few conditions as window dressing. Following in the Democrats' footsteps, the AFL-CIO labor bureaucrats called a demo for "No Blank Check for Wall Street." Yet no amount of regulation will stop the boom-bust cycle of capitalism. Meanwhile unemployment lines are growing and a million families were thrown out of their homes by bank foreclosures in the last year. While the fat cats, Democrats and bureaucrats are all going for the Bush bailout to prop up U.S. capitalism, revolutionary Marxists oppose this trillion-dollar giveaway to the Wall Street speculators, calling instead for a program of transitional demands leading to the expropriation of the banks and the entire bourgeoisie through workers revolution.

ROTC Get Out, Stay Out! Obama Wants You to Serve Imperialism Revolution no. 5 2008-09-25 12:24 AM
Barack Obama dropped a bomb on his young enthusiasts at Columbia University on September 11. The heavily Democratic crowd booed McCain when he called for the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) to be brought back to campus (it was driven out in 1969 by protests against the Vietnam war). Liberal students expected a different answer from Columbia alum Obama, but the forum was a symphony of agreement as both candidates campaigned for expanding the military and pledged their enthusiastic support to U.S. imperialism. That should have been the tip-off for anyone who hadn't figured it out by then: Obama is no "peace candidate" but like McCain he is a certified imperialist war candidate. (text/html)

Update: The Criminal Corruption and Animal Cruelty of Gov. Sarah Palin ARC 2008-09-04 10:44 PM

Perhaps after you read this file, you will feel as my friends and I feel, that Sarah Palin was fasttracked from a mayor's job in a 4600 resident town to the governor's chair, coached in everything she said or did, and prepared to be a neocon candidate on the national stage...all in 2 years time. Vote fraud could have defeated her Democratic opponent. All of this occurred as the neocon dominated FBI was investigating Senator Stevens. Certainly Murkowski defeated governor and Stevens had corrupt offices, but the orchestration of the chorus for Palin by oil prostitutes Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and others was it seems planned. "That most dangerous of all classes: the wealthy criminal class" wrote President Theodore Roosevelt of plutocrats and their pawns. (image/jpeg + 14 comments)

What Will It Take to Defeat the War? Internationalist Group 2008-07-17 5:50 PM
On June 28-29, an “Open National Antiwar Conference” was held in Cleveland, called by a newly minted National Assembly to End the Iraq War and Occupation. Over objections from the conference organizers, centrally Socialist Action, the assembly voted to change the name to include reference to the war on Afghanistan, and to emphasize the connection with U.S. backing for the Zionist occupation of Palestine. (The sponsors of the confab were so right-wing that they feared losing “unity” with Democratic Party supporters of Israel and the Afghanistan war!) What did not change at all was the popular-front character of the new outfit, tying it to the bourgeois parties despite the fig leaf of electoral “independence.” Making this utterly clear, it was decided not to call a national antiwar mobilization prior to the November elections explicitly in order to court those forces who wish to aid the Democrats (and therefore want to avoid making problems for the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama). Here is the leaflet issued by the Internationalist Group at the conference. (text/html)
