Australian Socialist Alliance conference: 'Fight austerity and
racism!' <http://links.org.au/node/4470>
By *Alex Bainbridge*, Sydney
June 20, 2015 -- The campaign against closure of Aboriginal communities
and mobilisations against unconventional gas in /e/astern Australia are
some examples of growing campaigns that are successfully challenging the
agenda of capitalist governments in Australia, according to the 11th
national conference of the Socialist Alliance.

Greece-Troika negotiations: last turns of the screw?
<http://links.org.au/node/4465>
By *Dick Nichols*
June 15, 2015 – /Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal/ --
For a while in late May, it looked as if the negotiations over the terms
for releasing the last €7.2 billion owed Greece under its second bailout
package with the European Union, European Central Bank and International
Monetary Fund (the “Troika”) just might have some chance of success.

Britain: Huge march against austerity; defiant protest is only part
of the answer <http://links.org.au/node/4475>
*/Socialist Resistance/* editorial
June 22, 2015 -- One home-made banner on the Saturday, June 20, London
demonstration against austerity seemed to put into words the
inarticulate howl of anguish of millions. In colourful letters it read
“Fuck the fucking fuckers”. It was a reminder of just how visceral
hatred of the Tories [Conservative Party] is and just how
all-encompassing their social counter-revolution aspires to be. The
People’s Assembly is claiming 250/,/000 marched from the Bank of England
to parliament.

Gramsci for communists <http://links.org.au/node/4474>
By *Doug Enaa Greene*
June 22, 2015 – /Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal/ --
The purpose of the Red History Lecture Series since its inception has
been to discuss lesser known or neglected socialist and communist
figures, movements, and events. So it may be rightfully asked – why
discuss Antonio Gramsci?

Barry Sheppard: Racist Charleston massacre has clear political roots
<http://links.org.au/node/4473>
By *Barry Sheppard*
June 20, 2015 -- The mass murder of nine African Americans in
Charleston, South Carolina, by a white racist has been widely denounced.
But to understand this hate crime – a terrorist attack – it has to be
put into a broader political context. The killer, 21-year-old Dylann
Roof, deliberately spared the life of one woman, telling her he wanted
her to report on what he had done. He told her, among other things, that
he decided to kill Black people because they “are taking over the country”.

Australia: Socialist Alliance adopts new progam, 'Towards a
Socialist Australia' <http://links.org.au/node/4472>
Adopted by the *11th Socialist Alliance national conference*, June 5-8, 2015
June 21, 2015 -- Posted at /Links International Journal of Socialist
Renewal/ -- Humanity has reached a critical crossroad. Capitalism cannot
advance society as a whole. Already, large sections of the world live in
poverty, repression and endless war but in addition the irrational and
insatiable drive for profits by a highly monopolised and globalised
capitalism is driving towards irreversible and catastrophic climate
change. Capitalist governments – and the giant corporations they work
for – are refusing to act on the desperate warnings of the great
majority of the world's leading scientists to avert the climate crisis.

Climate illusions sowed by Avaaz: Upward gazing can be politically
blinding <http://links.org.au/node/4469>
By *Patrick Bond*, Durban
June 17, 2015 -- Who’s not heard the great African revolutionary Amilcar
Cabral’s injunction, 50 years ago, “/Tell no lies and claim no easy
victories/”? If, like me, you’re a petit bourgeois who is hopeful for
social progress, then let’s be frank: this advice hits at our greatest
weakness, the temptation of back-slapping vanity.

Greece: Committee finds debt 'illegal, illegitimate and odious';
should not be paid (updated with full report)
<http://links.org.au/node/4468>
/
In June 2015 Greece stands at a crossroad of choosing between
furthering the failed macroeconomic adjustment programmes imposed by
the creditors or making a real change to break the chains of debt.
Five years since the economic adjustment programmes began, the
country remains deeply cemented in an economic, social, democratic
and ecological crisis. The black box of debt has remained closed,
and until now no authority, Greek or international, has sought to
bring to light the truth about how and why Greece was subjected to
the Troika regime. The debt, in whose name nothing has been spared,
remains the rule through which neoliberal adjustment is imposed, and
the deepest and longest recession experienced in Europe during
peacetime.

Links seeks to promote the international exchange of information,
experience of struggle, theoretical analysis and views of political
strategy and tactics within the international left. It is a forum for
open and constructive dialogue between active socialists coming from
different political traditions. It seeks to bring together those in the
international left who are opposed to neoliberal economic and social
policies. It aims to promote the renewal of the socialist movement in
the wake of the collapse of the bureaucratic model of "actually existing
socialism" in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
