excellent point, Clay
most of this list's readers know full well the historic role of
newly-unemployed vets in  postwar radical movements (and in boss-sponsored
reactionary ones).
p.s. All the more reason for us to search out radical Libyan comrades to
get their take on this.

[Marxism] New on Redline

Hi folks,

Below are recent pieces that have gone up on Redline blog, ranging from
Rosa Luxemburg to the NZ Labour Party to the 1916 Irish rebellion.

We've stuck up some interesting thoughts by Jara Handala, a socialist
activist in Britain and former member of that country's biggest left group,
the SWP.  The piece is interesting because it's a very sober assessment:
https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/01/19/disengaging-in-britain/

The NZ Labour Party has appointed a new general-secretary.  This business
figure reconfirms that Labour is not only a capitalist party in terms of
politics, but in social composition it is dominated by the liberal
professional class:

British Marxist Kenan Malik looks at the Charlie Hebdo killings, censorship
and politics one year on:
https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/01/16/kenan-malik-on-charlie-hebdo-one-year-on/

One of the main features of Redline since we set up in mid-2011 has been
examining the lack of working class resistance in this country.  Links to a
bunch of our articles on this subjected can be found here:
https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/01/16/whatever-happened-to-workers-resistance/

We remember Rosa Luxemburg, murdered on January 15, 1919, with several
pieces.
Thousands turn out to commemorate Luxemburg and Liebknecht:
https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/01/14/thousands-turn-out-for-luxemburg-and-leibknecht/
Rosa Luxemburg on tariffs, protectionism, reformism:
https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/01/15/rosa-luxemburg-on-tariffs-protectionism-reformism/
Rosa Luxemburg - murdered by social democrats, January 15, 1919:
https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/01/07/rosa-luxemburg-murdered-by-social-democrats-january-15-1919/

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Rising in Ireland.
Several members of the Redline collective are members of Clann eirigi;
eirigi is a new Irish revolutionary movement that started ten years ago to
fight for national liberation and socialism.  This piece contains info on
some events in Christchurch and Dunedin marking the 100th anniversary and
links to articles on the Rising at The Irish Revolution site, which is
connected to Redline.  See:
https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/01/12/100th-anniversary-of-irelands-1916-rebellion/

Our pieces on work/life balance issues:
https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/01/11/worklife-balance/

And we've put up a great piece on the unions and the fight for equal pay in
Australia that recently appeared in the print review, *Marxist Left Review*,
an excellent journal put out by Socialist Alternative (SA) in Australia:
https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/01/07/equal-pay-is-a-class-issue-trade-unions-and-the-fight-for-equal-pay-in-australia/

I don't know how many Marmmailers or PEN-L'ers are familiar with this 
guy nowadays since he is no longer much of a presence on the Internet. 
He was never on Marxmail but on PEN-L where he first came to my 
attention as a vehement defender of the Brenner thesis. After a number 
of years, he swung completely in the other direction and began attacking 
it. As I began reading the chapter on the divergence of West and East of 
Anievas/Nisancioglu's "How the West Came to Rule", I was surprised to 
see him mentioned as a defender of the idea that the West became 
hegemonic because of its "higher intellectual and artistic creativity". 
I went to the Wiki entry on him and was shocked to discover that this 
sociology professor, who was born in Puerto Rico, has become a full-tilt 
racist.



Duchesne is a vehement critic of immigrant multiculturalism[17][18][19] 
and political correctness in academe.[20] Since the publication of his 
2011 book, Duchesne has been arguing that the multicultural 
interpretation of the West is part of a wider effort by established 
elites to create heterogeneous race-mixed societies inside all 
European-created nations through the promotion of mass immigration.
