The assassination of Congo president Laurent Kabila was greeted with

A central piece of the offensive of De la Ra against the working class is his
attack on the so-called "Obras Sociales", basically the health system
administered by the Unions since the very good centralized public health system
was systematically destroyed in Argentina after

Richard Gott, per

successfully for the KGB while employed as a journo at the Grauniad, he is also a
man who put his life where his money is not once but at least twice. Of course,

Gott: Did he not just write on H.Chavez? Any reviews on the book?
I've thought about
getting a hold of it- I am intrigued to find out more about this new
Bolivarist.
I haven't read _In the Shadow of the Liberator: Hugo Chavez and the
Transformation of Venezuela_, so I'll welcome

In Uganda, the United States already had a useful ally in Yoweri

independence leader Milton Obote.
Democratically elected independence leader Milton Obote? What a joke.

I don't recommend the mode of argument -- if you can call it that --
that you are employing here. In many circles, purist leftists tried
to discredit _everything_ that Michel Chossudovsky wrote because he

Try to grow upYoshie and stop teaching how to build the left to old timers

cult--LM-- and its long time defenders like J. H., I would just recommend you
to improve on where you left on pen-l. Why to post J.H here, but not

than James Heartfield, who writes nothing but puff pieces on LBO-Talk.
