Imperialists, get out of Afghanistan!

Nations and peoples of Asia, Unite to put an end to criminal imperialist aggression!

Ten years ago, on 8 October, the US imperialists launched a brazen military invasion of Afghanistan, in the name of waging a “war on terror”.

Just before Mr Abbas’s speech in the UN, on Thursday 22nd September 2011, dozens of Israeli artists and academics proclaimed their support for the Palestinian United Nations statehood bid, outside of Independence Hall in Tel Aviv.  .

If long-term discouraged workers are also counted, as was officially done in 1980, the unemployment rate was 22.7% in June. In other words, between one-fifth and one-fourth of those willing to work are without jobs.

The legal battles reflect the contradictions among the biggest monopolies and financial groups, and between states that represent rival imperialist interests.  Such conflicts are growing acute alongside the contradiction between finance capital and the broad masses of working people.

The Editor,

It is with great joy that I read the report in the columns of the September 16-30, 2011 issue of MEL on the public meeting in Sirsa, Haryana held on August 28, 2011 that deliberated on several questions facing the people of India, and in particular on the question of `How Can People Come to Power?'

The Editor,

Mazdoor Ekta Committee and Lok Raj Sangathan joined hundreds of activists of several organisations on 22nd September in a joint protest action in support of the struggles of the workers of Maruti-Suzuki. The protestors took out a militant rally from Delhi’s Mandi House to Haryana Bhavan, where they demonstrated.

Workers of Voltas, under the banner of the All-India Voltas Employees Federation limited, demonstrated for their rights at Parliament on 26th September. Voltas workers have been waging the struggle since the past 15 years, against the practice of not hiring permanent workers and against the contract system.

Sir,
