The Crisis: Make the bosses pay! – Manifesto of the International Marxist Tendency
The crisis capitalism has entered globally is having a deep impact
on the real living conditions of billions of workers all over the
world. With this comes a growing consciousness among ordinary working
people and youth that something is seriously wrong with this system,
that this cannot be the way human beings have to live. Workers are
looking for an explanation and proposals of how to get out of this
mess. We have produced a Manifesto which outlines the causes and puts
forward a programme of action for the international labour movement.
We are witnessing in all countries more people turning up to
meetings, more people buying our journals, pamphlets and books. This is
a moment when Marxists should be stepping up their activities, seeking
out new sympathisers and winning them to Marxism.
We call on all our supporters and sympathisers to translate our
Manifesto, print it out and distribute it as widely as possible among
the workers and youth of all countries. You should organised meetings
around it to discuss it. The situation that has opened up is one where
a much wider layer of workers and youth are prepared to listen to
Marxist ideas and analysis and also want to do something about what is
going on.
Workers are angry and are becoming radicalised as each day passes.
All this must be harnessed to build the International Marxist Tendency
in all countries. It is the burning task of the day.

World Perspectives
This document is an analysis of the growing political and social turbulence in Europe,
the United States, Latin America with an emphasis on Venezuela, the
Middle East and Asia, and a particular emphasis on the explosive
situation in Pakistan. It ends with an appeal to help build the
International Marxist Tendency in all countries. At this stage it is a
discussion document. It will be finalised at the World Congress of the IMT this summer.

British Perspectives
This is the final draft of the British Perspectives document worked out
and voted on by the comrades of the British section of the
International Marxist Tendency at their National Conference in April 2008. Such a document is not a blue-print, but an attempt to
understand the underlying processes at work in Britain today, and how
these will be reflected in the class struggle.
World Capitalism in Crisis
We live in exceptional times. The financial panic in the USA is
creating waves that are threatening to engulf the whole world. This is rapidly
transforming the consciousness of millions. In this pamphlet Alan Woods
looks at how the world economy reached the stage it has, where it is on the
brink of a serious downward, so serious that it could be as worse if not worse
than 1929.
China’s long march to capitalism
From a Marxist point of view the 1949 Chinese Revolution,
in spite of its bureaucratic deformations, was the second most important event
in human history after the Russian Revolution. It led to the abolition of
landlordism and capitalism and the end of imperialist domination. Now, however,
capitalism dominates in China.
How did this happen? Here we present Part One of a document approved by this
year’s world congress of the International Marxist Tendency which looks at
events from the revolution up to the end of the Mao era.
