It's been another busy week at Redline. We've been getting up some articles assessing the election outcome as well as more world economy material, plus a major feature by veteran Israeli socialist Moshe Machover on Zionism's continuing search for legitimacy (at the expense of the Palestinians). I query whether the election outcome is at all a defeat for the left: http://rdln.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/the-election-a-defeat-for-the-left/ Daphna Whitmore looks at how alike Labour and National are in terms of foreign policy: http://rdln.wordpress.com/2014/09/30/national-and-labour-close-on-foreign-policy/ Don Franks looks at why Labour wasn't worth any ticks from workers on election day: http://rdln.wordpress.com/2014/09/24/why-labour-wasnt-worth-the-workers-ticks/ Andy Warren continues his digest of interesting items on the net over the past week: http://rdln.wordpress.com/2014/09/30/9278/ Michael Roberts critiques claims that Keynesian economic theory can predict and solve capitalist crises: http://rdln.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/solving-capitalist-crises-its-easy/ ISO is one of the far-left groups involved in Mana and its leadership endorsed the Mana lash-up with Kim Dotcom's Internet Party. This sparked lively debate within the organisation. We reprint (and welcome) the latest contribution, this time by Shomi Yoon looking at class politics and the problem of the InternetMana hook-up: http://rdln.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/iso-continue-to-debate-class-politics-and-the-internetmana-alliance/ Veteran Israeli socialist Moshe Machover examines Zionist strategy: http://rdln.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/zionisms-ongoing-quest-for-legitimacy/ In Australia, Corey Oakley looks at ISIS and imperialist hypocrisy: http://rdln.wordpress.com/2014/09/26/isis-and-imperialist-hypocrisy-a-view-from-australia/ And, as the NZ government and parliament discuss intervention, don't forget Iranian Marxist Yassamine Mather's investigation of the origins and politics of ISIS: http://rdln.wordpress.com/2014/09/12/the-origins-economics-and-politics-of-the-islamic-state/ Phil for Redline Collective ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
