There has been no levelling off of the global economy, as economists predicted. Although industrialisation has expanded to lesser-developed countries, it has generally been along lines determined by global corporations based in advanced capitalist countries. From colonialism, we have moved into the age of multinational corporate domination.

At a recent meeting of a local Labour Party Branch in Worcester, Britain, a slick high tech presentation was given by a group called Transition Worcester, who said they had the answer to the environmental crisis. It is to turn the clock back 200 years to a mythical age where all trade was local and people enjoyed the benefit of locally grown meat, fruit & veg. Within this presentation were ideas such as we should no longer trade with developing countries and we should therefore export our unemployment to the third world.

A hondurasi puccsista rezsim által összehívott november 29-i választások jelentős tartózkodással mentek végbe, annak ellenére, hogy a katonaság és a rendőrség kemény nyomást gyakorolt a lakosságra. De a rezsimnek nem sikerült szétzúzni a munkások, parasztok és fiatalok mozgalmát. Ellenkezőleg, ők most még felkészültebbek politikailag, jobban vannak szerveződve és készek harcolni az oligarchiák ellen.
