United States: Should the left back Bernie Sanders' campaign? Two
views <http://links.org.au/node/4535>
The attitude to the presidential campaign of long-time independent
US senator and self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders has become a
major debate on the US left. Some see his decision to run as a
Democrat as the major dividing line, accusing him of sidetracking
the left into support for the capitalist Democratic Party. Others,
while recognising Sanders' shortcomings, point to the wider role his
campaign can offer in providing a more radical pole of attraction in
US politics at a time when the left is weak. Below /Links
International Journal of Socialist Renewal/ makes available two
views from significant sections of the US socialist left. Readers'
comments are encouraged in the comments box after the articles.

<http://links.org.au/node/4537>
August 2, 2015 -- /Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal/ --

historian *Doug Enaa Greene* lectured and led a discussion on the roots
and course of the war for the Center for Marxist Education.

Socialist Resistance: Jeremy Corbyn win would be a 'victory for the
whole left' <http://links.org.au/node/4536>
By *Socialist Resistance* (Britain)
July 31, 2015 -- The Jeremy Corbyn campaign for the Labour Party
leadership is a remarkable phenomenon. He stands a very good chance of
winningunless the Labour Party establishment can turn around the tide
over the next six weeks. As things stand, the tide remains with him. The
Labour leadership is like a rabbit in the headlights. Large numbers of
people, young people in particular, are joining Corbyn's campaign and
people are flocking to his rallies and campaign events.

<http://links.org.au/node/4534>
By *Federico Fuentes*
July 27, 2015 -- Writing for the Associated Press, Frank Bajak argued
that although Morales is known internationally for his outspoken
campaigning on climate change, at home he faces constant criticism from
conservationists “who say he puts extraction ahead of clean water and
forests”. Bajak said this contradiction was a result of Morales’
strategy of developing extractive industries as a means of cutting
poverty, regardless of the environmental cost.

<http://links.org.au/node/4531>

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.
