1. About a month ago tens of thousands of mostly women textile workers went on strike in Egypt, and as is always the case faced threats of firing or worse: http://www.madamasr.com/en/2017/02/09/news/u/mahalla-textile-workers-temporarily-call-off-strike-5-strike-leaders-face-disciplinary-hearings/ Which side of that combined economic/social/political struggle are you on, Joseph? 2. Also recently several South African revolutionaries described in Pambazuka the battles, both in the workplaces and streets and in ideas, between South Africa's bourgeois rulers and its workers: http://www.europe-solidaire.org/spip.php?article40214 Some of the articles mention that NUMSA's "marxist-leninist" leadership is backtracking from its promised drive for socialist politics and strategy. Where do you stand on that, Joseph? And for god's sake don't just copy and paste your old emails. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
