usa_crisis.jpgOver the last few decades - first under the Tories then under New Labour - we have seen the official unemployment figures massaged and fiddled time and time again in order to make them seem more 'acceptable' in the official reports and, of course, the newspapers. Is this unique to the UK? Well no, let's  have a look at the real rate of unemployment in the US.

Defeat the reactionary military coup in Honduras – Mass mobilisation needed Print E-mail
By Jorge Martin   
Monday, 29 June 2009
The coup in Honduras highlights once again that even mild reforms within the capitalist system cannot be tolerated by the local oligarchies in Latin America and their imperialist masters. But Venezuela teaches that if the masses mobilise reaction can be stopped. Now is the time to mobilise the full force of the Honduran workers and poor.

Iran: regime steps up terror – a general strike is needed! Print E-mail
By Alan Woods   
Monday, 29 June 2009
Some on the left are questioning whether the movement in Iran is a progressive one. They have been taken in by propaganda that states that the movement is all an “imperialist plot” to overthrow the Islamic regime. This ignores the very essence of what is happening in Iran, which is the beginning of a revolution. What is required to move everything forward now is decisive action by the working class.

The “profit motive” inhibits the recovery of the building sector while construction workers struggle Print E-mail
By Eddie Kacar   
Friday, 26 June 2009
affordablehousing.jpgThe economic crash following the so-called ‘credit crunch’ has caused property prices to nose dive since their peak in 2007. This has led to property developers and house builders to “retard” their construction projects. The colossal drop in land prices has served to further irritate this problem because house builders, who bought land during the peak, have chosen not to build on them yet until, when they hope, property prices rise again. Also they do not wish to sell the land due to the massive reduction in its value.
