A Pro-Social Programme Is Needed in
Charting the Way Out of the Economic and Financial Crisis
The divisions among the ruling circles as
to what is required to get society out of the economic and financial crisis was
evident at the annual Mansion House dinner on June 16. It is a contention as to
what will best serve the interests of the financial oligarchy and rescue the
credibility of a monopoly capitalist system that has demonstrated its inhuman
and anti-social character and is bringing devastation on a world scale. In
essence, it is a contention as to how to define the limits and characteristics
of state monopoly capitalism, and prevent the people’s opposition to this
system and keep the way blocked to the urgently required progress of society
which objective developments demand. It conspicuously leaves out of the
equation the needs of human beings and the necessity to put a pro-social
programme at the centre of developments to chart a way out of the crisis. ...more

9th Anniversary of Historic North-South Joint
Declaration: US Troops Out of
Korea! No to US Nuclear Blackmail! Korea Is One!
The signing of the North-South Joint
Declaration in Pyongyang on June 15, 2000, between National Defence Commission
Chairman Kim Jong Il of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and
President Kim Dae Jung of the Republic of Korea (ROK) marked an historic
turning point in the Korean people's long march toward the reunification of
their divided country. It signalled a new and irreversible phase in the Korean
people's struggle on the road to reunification through their own efforts by
setting aside political differences, peacefully, and without outside
interference. The June 15 North-South Joint Declaration is also a document that
belongs to all the peoples of the world who are striving for a world free of
Anglo-American imperialist domination and war, and for each nation to be able
to affirm its independence and sovereignty and enjoy peaceful relations with
every other nation. ...more
Fight to Defend the Social Economy and
the Rights of the Car Workers!
The news that the US General Motors is to
sue for bankruptcy protection has been closely followed by more than 5,000 car
workers in Britain at GM’s Vauxhall’s plants at Ellesmere Port and
Luton. The unions have warned that since the sale of
Vauxhall UK has been brokered by the German government, as it is part of
the German-based Opel group, British rather than German plants will bear the
brunt of any redundancies and plant closures, despite Vauxhall having a greater
domestic market share than Opel. ...more

Empower the People! No to Big Government!

legislature as a whole, has led to this announcement. ...more
