This is no minor point, given the obscurantism being engineered about the
role of livestock in agriculture -- a distraction that suits the fossil
fuel corps and undermines the impetus of the movement against climate
change by exaggerating consumption politics and blaming family farmers.

"The debate about agriculture’s contribution to greenhouse gases has been
perverted. Methane is not the important issue — nitrate fertilisers and
soil carbon loss are the important issues."

Some leftist trainspotting for those interested.

I would say this is the "latest" document of interest from the
semi-secret CWI faction fight that has gone on for the past year(?)
but it appears to be nearly a month old at this stage, so who knows.
This seems to be the "internal" split statement for the faction that
went on to found a new group. called Rise, in Ireland. To my
understanding they took 1 of the 3 members of parliament for the
Socialist Party in Ireland, Paul Murphy, with them.

It raises some interesting political questions and also seems to be
quite revealing as to the culture inside the Committee for a Workers'
International/World Socialist Alternative (whatever it is the split
groups are calling themselves these days).

The SDF says the precondition for integration of the SDF into a broader Syrian 
army is: "a political settlement that recognizes and preserves the autonomy of 
the SDF in the region protected by it which requires Syrian military to be 
restructured."  This would be unacceptable to Assad, so there is no agreement.

The SDF calls for a "unified stance against Turkish aggression."  If Aron Lund 
is correct about Russian-Turkish coordination, this won't happen.

This confirms officially that the PYD/YPG leadership is now negotiating
with Assad about the right prize. Once they reach agreement, the PYD/YPG
will formally join the killing machine of Assad and help the
dictatorship to oppress the Syrian people.

It is a shame that there are still people who defend the actions of the

movements fight against oppressors and go underground if necessary
instead of serving the oppressor as a mercanery!

NY Review, NOVEMBER 21, 2019 ISSU
The Silver Rush
J.H. ElliottE

Potosí: The Silver City That Changed the World
by Kris Lane
University of California Press, 248 pp., $32.95

In July 1964, after spending a night in the Bolivian city of Oruro, my 
wife and I caught a ramshackle bus in the early morning for the mining 
city of Potosí, some 13,000 feet above sea level in the Andes. We 
ascended at a snail’s pace until, some twenty miles from Potosí, the bus 
got stuck in a ditch from which, in spite of the combined efforts of the 
passengers, it proved impossible to dislodge. It was not only muddy but 
also freezing cold. We were fortunate to be rescued by a British 
compatriot, an employee of the Bolivian Tin Corporation, who happened to 
live nearby. After warming us beside his log fire and reviving us with 
hot soup, he took us back to the scene of the breakdown, where we waited 
in the dark for a relief bus that eventually arrived at 9:30 PM. Finally 
we made it to Potosí, where we passed a very cold night in a small and 
damp hotel room. The next morning we awoke to brilliant sunshine and a 
bright blue sky, although it remained bitterly cold, and the high 
altitude left us short of breath.


We went to Potosí because I was curious to see the famous Cerro Rico, 
the barren ochre-colored Rich Hill, also known as the Red Mountain, 
that, at 15,750 feet, towers over the city. This was the mountain that, 
in the century after its alleged “discovery” in 1545, produced nearly 
half the world’s silver. During that century the name of Potosí spread 
around the globe. It appeared on all the best maps, including one 
prepared in 1602 by the Jesuit Matteo Ricci as a gift for the Chinese 
emperor, and the strange conical shape of its mountain, originally 
depicted in a crude woodcut, was reproduced in countless images.


My desire to visit Potosí arose from my interest in the history of 
sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain, which could never have become 
the dominant power in early modern Europe without the regular supply of 
silver extracted from the mines of what is today Bolivia, but during the 
period of Spanish rule was part of the viceroyalty of Peru. Every year 
this silver was shipped to Seville, where it entered the royal coffers 
and those of financiers, merchants, and private individuals. From Spain 
the silver circulated through Europe, paying for the military and other 
expenses of the always indebted Spanish crown, facilitating private 
transactions, and flowing into Asia and the Far East, where it met the 
rising demands of Mughal India and Ming China for silver, and allowed 
Europeans in turn to purchase the spices, textiles, and other luxuries 
from the East that they craved. The quantities of silver from Potosí 
that reached Seville and were recorded by the officials of its House of 
Trade were staggering. Indeed, vale un Potosí—“worth a Potosí”—is an 
expression still used in Spain.


Encouragement to undertake what was then the arduous journey to Potosí 
came from Lewis Hanke of Columbia University, the doyen of 
Spanish-American colonial studies in the United States. He had spent 
time exploring the Potosí archives and told me, not very reassuringly, 
that anyone who did so deserved a medal. The cost and inconvenience of 
travel, the bitter cold, and the inadequate accommodation were all 
deterrents to visitors in the 1950s, and the sheer abundance of 
documents in the archives was likely to overwhelm even the most seasoned 
researcher. In 1956, on the strength of his initial research, Hanke 
published a short essay on this “boom town supreme” in which he observed 
that “our knowledge of Potosí may be said to be still in the folklore 
stage.”1 In the following years he himself did much to move it beyond 
that stage by publishing valuable source material and editing 
contemporary and historical accounts of a town described by the Emperor 
Charles V as “The Treasury of the World” and officially styled by his 
successor on the Spanish throne, Philip II, as “La Villa Imperial,” the 
“Imperial Town,” although he never raised it to the status of a city.


Hanke led the way, and others followed. In the 1970s Peter Bakewell, a 
British historian whose professional career was spent in North American 
universities, worked out silver production figures for Potosí that have 
been accepted as standard and went on to publish valuable studies both 
of entrepreneurship and the labor system in the Peruvian mines.2 But as 
Hanke made clear, there is much more to the history of Potosí than the 
extraction, refining, and export of its silver. When in 1545, twelve 
years after the Spanish “conque

In retrospect, it is striking how well Turkish, Russian, American, and 
Syrian actions fit together, effectively shaping an outcome in concert 
instead of bouncing off each other and breaking down in chaos.

The Triumph of Injustice: how the rich dodge taxes and how to make them 
pay is a new book by the inequality experts, Daniel Zucman and Emmanuel 
Saez. It’s a searing indictment of American tax system, which, far from 
reducing the rising inequality of income and wealth in the US, actually 
drives it higher. The authors argue that “even as they became fabulously 
wealthy, the rich have seen their taxes collapse to levels last seen in 
the 1920s. Meanwhile working-class Americans have been asked to pay 
more.” Saez and Zucman show that the super-rich in America actually pay 
a lower tax rate than everybody else.

Chris, I ask you: how many liberation movements in the so-called "Third 
World" had the support/protection of 2,000 US soldiers as well as the US 
air force for years?!


How many liberation movements in the so-called "Third World" have 
telephone calls with the U.S. President, with representatives of the 
U.S. Congress, the Pentagon, etc.?!


How many liberation movements in the so-called "Third World" have made 
agreements with Russian imperialism and a local dictator so that the 
later send their troops in order to protect them (against Turkey)?! As 
you should know the PYD/YPG publicly thanked them for this "protection"!


I can hardly think about any other liberation movement in the so-called 
"Third World" which has been so close, on such good terms with 
imperialist Great Powers for such a long time!

Comrades of GLW (Australia), you really don't need to appeal for support
for "Rojava’s revolutionaries". They have already so many "friends"! The
PYD/YPG is proud to collaborate with U.S. imperialism (General Kobane
just bragged about their collaboration with the CIA to hunt al-Bagdadi),
and Trump and the Pentagon wants now to let them guard and share the
profit of the oil fields in East Syria. (I am sure that the PYD/YPG will
be happy to serve Washington as oil field guardians!) In addition, they
are closely collaborating now with Russian imperialism and Assad,... how
many friends more do they need?!

There are many liberation movements around the world which have a lot
less powerful friends! One of them is, by the way, located in Northwest
Syria (as well as in the underground). In contrast to the PYD/YPG, they
are not on good terms with Russia, Assad as well as the U.S.

If you want to make yourselves useful (and if you still have some
shame), please support a real liberation movement and not such servants
of Trump, Putin and Assad!

Climate activists protesting one of the world's biggest mining conferences
have been met with an extremely heavy handed response from Victoria Police.

After four days of peaceful picketing, an astonishing 80 activists have
been arrested as police repeatedly attempted to violently disperse the
demonstration. They used pepper spray and batons for crowd control, punched
people, and charged horses directly through the crowd. One protestor was
taken away in an ambulance, suspected to have broken both her legs. Many
others required first aid after mistreatment, with dozens pepper-sprayed
gratuitously
.
Organisers of the protest, including Victorian Socialist's candidate for
Broadmeadows, Jerome Small, were specifically targeted with arrests and
intimidation. Those arrested could see fines of over $4,000 each.

These tactics won't stop us protesting, but they can intimidate other
supporters and the arrests so far could cost activists tens of thousands of
dollars in fines. *Please chip in*

to
help us pay these legal fees and fines. A donation of any amount will help
the climate movement and send a message that this brutal treatment is
unacceptable.

The International Mining and Resources Conference was attended by 400+
companies. Together they contribute 18% of annual greenhouse gas emissions.
These companies are responsible for shocking exploitation of indigenous
peoples, the environment and their workers.

*Donate here*

to
support arrested activists and ensure that protests against this disgusting
event can go ahead next year.
