[L-I] Cuba on Bush Administration
*UNDER BUSH, CUBA COULD BECOME TARGET OF MOST REACTIONARY US SECTORS Havana, January 27 (RHC) -- Cuban President Fidel Castro has asserted that with the advent of the U.S.'s George Bush administration, Cuba could become the target of the most extremist and reactionary sectors currently celebrating the arrival of a new government in Washington. Speaking before some 300 thousand people from Havana and Havana City Provinces, on the occasion of the 148th anniversary of Cuban National Hero Jose Marti's birth, Fidel Castro recalled that in Bush's questionable victory, the terrorist Cuban-American mafia in Miami played a decisive role. The Cuban leader said the past actions and current ideas of the principle members of the Bush administration have generated an atmosphere of doubt, suspicion and fear within international public opinion, almost without exception. He went on to say that, nevertheless, Cuba will not be caught by surprise or unprepared. President Castro said Cuba is not the inexperienced, unarmed and almost illiterate country that it was in 1959. He said Cuba can look to the future with serenity and confidence because the Cuban people have confronted with honor and heroically resisted 42 years of hostility, aggressions and an economic war. Fidel Castro said the Cuban people have learned to fight and win in the most inconceivable circumstances. No other people, said the Cuban leader, is better prepared and less dependent on trade and commerce with the planet's most powerful nation. He said humanity has entered one of the most complex periods of its history, with an unchallenged imperialist power, in which considerable resources have been squandered, the environment has been damaged, and in which there is an irrational pattern of consumption that is out of reach for the vast majority of the planet's inhabitants. Humanity's political achievements, said the Cuban leader -- its achievements in social justice and peaceful cohabitation -- have fallen far behind scientific achievements. He said the current world order will not be able to create a dignified life on this planet, but that Cuba -- free to expound its truths and defend the rights of Third World peoples in the international arena -- has been able to contribute its grain of sand to the struggle for a world that is more just, more rational and more imbued with the spirit of solidarity. --- Macdonald Stainsby Rad-Green List: Radical anti-capitalist environmental discussion. http://lists.wwpublish.com/mailman/listinfo/rad-green Leninist-International: Building bridges in the tradition of V.I.

[L-I] Llegan los zapatistas a la capital de México el próximo 6 de marzo.
¿YA CUMPLIÓ FOX LAS CONDICIONES DEL EZLN PARA EL DIÁLOGO? ¡NO! Para reiniciar el diálogo el EZLN planteó 3 condiciones mínimas: Primera.- Retiro de Ejército Federal de 7 de las 259 posiciones existentes en Chiapas. Retiraron 4, faltan 3. En estas posiciones la presencia militar intimida, hostiga e incluso provoca la expulsión de la población civil zapatistas. El Ejército Mexicano en Chiapas y en otros estados no está cumpliendo con su deber de preservar la Soberanía Nacional, está siendo utilizado como Ejército de Ocupación, violando con ello la Constitución. Segunda.- Libertad de todos los zapatistas presos en Chiapas y otros estados. No es posible dialogar con un gobierno que considera delincuentes a los zapatistas, tampoco es concebible pensar que el EZLN pueda abandonar a sus simpatizantes. Tercera.- Cumplimiento de los Acuerdos de San Andrés, es decir, que el Congreso de la Unión apruebe la Iniciativa de Ley sobre Derechos y Cultura Indígena que los legisladores integrantes de la COCOPA redactó. Si el gobierno y los partidos políticos del Congreso no cumplen con los compromisos ¿para qué sentarse a dialogar? Que no nos engañen los manipuladores de TvAzteca y Televisa con sus encuestas baratas y de mala leche, las armas del EZLN no están a discusión. Los zapatistas viajarán al DF con pasamontañas y en son de paz. Bueno, este es el contenido del volante que sacaremos aquí en Nuevo León para contrarrestar la propaganda del enemigo. Te invitamos a que lo difundas a través de los medios que tengas a tu alcance. Y no se te olvide incluir la invitación a viajar al DF en marzo para acompañar al EZLN al Congreso de la Unión. _ Mensaje de un grupo zapatista en Monterrey Tony ___ Leninist-International mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.wwpublish.com/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international

[L-I] FW: DEBATE: (Fwd) Stop the DRC War... (pls circulate)
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dominic Tweedie Sent: 28 January 2001 11:00 To: Patrick Bond Cc: Hugh Macmillan; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: DEBATE: (Fwd) Stop the DRC War... (pls circulate) > A warm welcome to Dominic Tweedie (well known to readers of > letters-to-editor) ?Since you mention my letters let me just say that if one is trying to "speak truth to power" then one had better do so in public. To business. In the "18th Brumaire", as I recall, Marx describes four contending (self-conscious, organised) classes: the (Bourbon) Monarchists, the Peasants, the Bourgeoisie (capitalists), and the Proletariat (workers). No single one of these classes was at the time able to subordinate the other three. This made the opportunity, which Louis Napoleon took, for a placeholder. He was able to hold the ring for a while "precisely because he was a nobody" or words to that effect. The eventual resolution of all this was the victory of the bourgeoisie in France, the survival of the proletariat, the permanent reduction of the peasants, and the disappearance of the monarchists and Louis Napoleon of course. In a situation of simultaneous class formation and unresolved class conflict there may be many opportunities such as the one exploited by Louis Napoleon, and so therefore many nonentities and anomalous figures "in power". Rather follow Marx and examine the basic arrangement of class forces that produces the surface phenomena than get preoccupied with the personal qualities or faults of such individuals. They are part of a complex superstructure which is fascinating but not understandable without a prior knowledge of the base upon which they stand. What is the disposition of class forces in African countries? Mahmood Mamdani in "Citizen and Subject" provides a simple basic model which he says is typical and which is convincing and useful. Imperialism allies itself with the most anachronistic, feudal forces, the "traditional leaders", in support of a quisling class which acts to frustrate and suppress the modernising urban population. This pattern is inherited from colonialism. Mamdani concludes by pleading for democracy in the abstract, which is no doubt what his American readers like to hear. Looking at this again with a more Marxist glass than Mamdani cares to supply, it is clear that imperialism is as defined by Lenin, the force of finance capital, the party of war, and of monopoly, having no concern for the interests of the inhabitants at all. This force positively "underdevelops" (see Walter Rodney) the neo- colonial territories. It started its monstrous life in Africa in the form of the Anglo-Boer War, roughly 16 years before Lenin wrote "Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism" (and sixty-odd years before Kwame Nkrumah's "Neo-colonialism, the Last Stage of Imperialism"). Mamdani thinks that South Africa has the most developed examples of the complicity between imperialism and "traditional leadership". Gatsha Buthelezi with his IFP is only one of many examples. This is because SA is more deeply penetrated by monopoly finance capital than any other African country. Now to Mamdani's other contender, his modernising urban force. This has two components. The leading one is the national bourgeoisie. Following and supporting the national bourgeoisie is the working class. This is how it has been in Africa for the last hundred years at least. You do not understand class conflict in Africa if you cannot see that it is firstly a contradiction between national capital and international finance capital. African Nationalism is a bourgeois phenomenon and its enemy is imperialism. The working class, for very good reasons, sides with its African Nationalist bourgeoisie. Imperialism hates this "intra-capitalist" conflict to be exposed. It prefers to speak of generalities such as "free enterprise" and "democracy" or even just "stability". It seeks to co-opt sections of the national bourgeoisie using these rubrics. Good current examples are the Millenium Council and the attempt at co-opting the black business association NAFCOC into the fold of monopoly capital in SA. Thus those who conflate imperialism with the national bourgeoisie under the general heading "neo-liberal" are objectively serving imperialism. The intellectuals who will serve the working class will be those who sharpen the contradictions between the national bourgeoisie and imperialism. (Colin Leys in "Underdevelopment in Kenya" rightly remarks that Frans Fanon in "The Wretched of the Earth" omits any discussion of active neo-colonial imperialism, which makes the book to be "like Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark"). The African working class follows its national bourgeoisie in the anti-imperialist cause because it is in its interest to do so. Anti-imperial capital will employ and organise a working class and prepare the material conditions for working-class rule (the dictat

The piece I am forwarding contains two parts: a) a presentation, written by an Argentinian progressive, of a request for help from a group of Mapuche indians in their struggle for land against the local landowners and the Chilean government; this presentation raises the issue of whether it is a matter of chance that this request is sent from New York, precisely at a time when Bush has arrived to power and talks of exchanging debt for territories are being heard (that is, wouldn't it be very easy for imperialists to carve a "Mapuche state" out of Southern Chile and South Western Argentina, then "protect" it? We should be alert not to be duped by fake calls to the fate of the aboriginal populations, although the claim is, in this case, very concrete and fair. Thus, b) the second part contains the claim. ## Queridos amigos de la Nac & Pop: Cuando estos movimientos, indios, con sede en Nueva York, comienzan a combatir nuevamente a los españoles, nos pasan dos cosas por la cabeza: La primera es que es hora de que se efectivicen las promesas y los convenios, leyes y acuerdos firmados con los indios reconociendoles la majestad de su propia dignidad y los bienes que se les han asegurado, pero nunca entregado. La segunda cosa es que- como esperamos que- de un momento a otro- comiencen a aparecer las "argumentaciones" para cambiar "Deuda Externa por territorio" y el territorio patagonico,- que pretenden canjearnos por dinero- corresponde a los reclamos mapuches, no sabemos si los reclamos mapuches desde Nueva York tendrán alguna relación con esto.

Desde la ocupacion del fundo El Carmen y las diversas ocupaciones legitimas de tierras y fundos posteriores, el Gobierno del Presidente Ricardo Lagos, empresarios latifundistas y partidos politicos de la derecha UDI-RN han venido desarrollando una caceria y campaña en contra de la comunidad Mapuches, una niña fue herida de bala, varias mujeres fueron reprimidas y arrestadas en la intendencia de Temuco, varios activistas indigenas han sido encarcelados, la Intendente de Temuco a lanzado toda la represion en contra de los mapuches y el propio Presidente Ricardo Lagos se nego a reunirse con los Mapuches cuando visito la zona. Pero ahora el Mercurio,el Senador Prat, la Tercera y el señor Burgos a nombre del ministerio del interior a amenazado con las FFAA, la ley de Seguridad Interior del Estado,el Senador Prat y los otros llaman a la sedicion y que los Latifundistas se armen y procedan a castigar a los "indios" dice el Senador Prat "infiltrados por la Izquierda"a reglon seguido afirma el propio senador de la ultraderecha Mister Prat. La lucha del pueblo y Nacion Mapuche no se hinicio hoy, 300 años le hicieron la pelea a los Españoles, hasta ahora le han peleado al Ejercito, Gobiernos y Politicos Chilenos, nosotros no los dejaremos solo JAMAS, la lucha de los Pueblos Indigenas es nuestra lucha, la lucha de los pobres y marginados de la tierra.

RE: [L-I] The legacy...part 1
I'm glad Mac posted this Panitch artcle (presumably the intro essay to a recent Soc Register, publication detalils WOULD be welome) and I think that L-I has a raison d'etre as a site dedicated to high-level theoretical debate about the state, and how we analyse and conceptualise it within the process of developing revolutionary theory/practice. I would like to propose that we resolve different schools of thought into a schemata. This article is part of the MR/SR school/tradition of non-soviet/anti-stalin critiques of the state and capital in the Baran/Sweezy tradition of anti-leninism (another anti-lenin tradition is that of Paul Mattick, shading over into Lucien Goldman and the autonomist/Tony Negri school which for eg Tahir Wood follows, is Tahir on l-i btw?) If we can agree to some admittedly arbitrary scheme then we can try to sharpen up/deepen our understanding of these different 'schools' thru further debate, elaboration etc. The link Mac gave goes to Martin Shaw's pages. Here he discusses NLR, Perry Anderson, Peter Gowan etc. I have on file a huge (and I mean big) file of papers on the state + capital by these and otthers which i can put into a zipfile if anyone wants to get it.

As for Judith Butler, whatever the relative merits of her work as social theory, (I have no idea), it has scant bearing on the felt experiences and concrete day to day lives of people in eastern Europe (the broad masses, not the super-elite and their thin cohorts of semi-westernised dollar-earning 'professional' servitors). Peope are not resigned, do not need to be resignified (are we object which bear lables, like Winnie the Pooh?) and are not attached to their subjection. Their problem is like ours: TINA. For 75 years there was an alternatived,. now there is not. Read the latest UNDP figures comparing living standards, HDP, GDP indices etc and see the dismal story of what happened throughout the socialist world after 1989 with the solitary and blindingly significant exception of Cuba (it's at: http://website.lineone.net/~resource_base/ > Those who seek to become the tribune of the oppressed in Russia (& > the periphery in general) have a difficult task cut out for them: to > represent the interests of women at the same time as to champion > residents of small towns & rural regions in practice. > I think you can go further and make a distinction between Moscow/St Peterburg and Everywhere Else. Moscow is a sump into which, after 1993, flowed everying that could be turned into liquid assets from the accumulation-effort of 75 years of socialism. The sump drains into the smooth and silent laundries of Zurich, New York and London, and subsidiary centres: Cyprus, Bahamas etc. From there this huge flow of value, equivalent in fertilising effect to the flow of gold and silver plundered from the America after the 16th century, became anonymous investment capital. As they say, money doesn't have to wash its face. I think the experience of the 1998 financial crash showed that as soon as (ie within 24 hours) the chokehold of finance capital comes of the Russian windpipe -- because of some financial emergency or Wall St meltdown: there is immediate political galvanising effect in Russia. We shall see. They haven't managed to bury Lenin yet, they are afraid to, and for the good reason.
