International Workers Day this
year in a way exemplifies the new, more dynamic, situation that we are
entering in this country. May Day this year reflected the beginning
stages of an awakening of the working class.

Pasaron las elecciones especiales del 19 de Mayo 2009 y la crisis
presupuestaria del Estado de California continúa. Con las elecciones,
el Gobernador Arnold Schwarzenegger buscaba equilibrar la crisis
presupuestaria del Estado de California con un déficit estimado de
$21.3 miles de millones de dólares. En realidad las elecciones
especiales no resolverían el problema porque las propuestas en juego no
tocan la raíz del problema.

We understand that the ISO has a large number of non-white members,
that it campaigns against the death penalty and for immigrants'
rights, and that it carries out much other important anti-racist
work. We reaffirm
our commitment to a respectful and calm discussion on these and other
questions with the ISO, and we reaffirm our commitment to forging
unity in action around the specific points upon which we
agree.

Socialist revolutionaries are for the total nuclear arms
disarmament of all countries. But such a program is a utopian one
without the international socialist revolution

The computer and the Internet have changed the way in which production
is organized, not the capitalist mode of production. Computers and the
Internet are not saving capitalism from debacle, as it is shown
increasingly. Nor will they save us for that matter. Only drastic
social change in the way and reasons why work is organized and
performed will truly make the internet and computers a truly open
source.

The challenge to the labor movement is immense.
Unfortunately, none of the leaders of the labor movement replied to
Summers for his anti-union statement in the ad published in The New
York Times. Nor did any union leader challenge Obama for raising the
need for an "alternative" to EFCA.

La barbarie que yo veo en Nicaragua, no es solamente la
barbarie de Nicaragua. Eso está instalado en toda América Central, es
la misma que está instalada en México, la barbarie está en el virus de
la gripe porcina, enfermedades que surgen en épocas de grandes miserias
humanas. La barbarie de Nicaragua es la barbarie en la que está cayendo
la humanidad entera.

True to form, some on the right now decry Obama's
stimulus package as nothing less than the triumph of socialism in
America. “Lenin and Stalin would love this stuff,” former Arkansas
Governor Mike Huckabee told a recent meeting of the Conservative
Political Action Conference. Not that the huckster Huckabee has any
serious ideas about how to solve the run of mortgage foreclosures or
rising unemployment. Or, for that matter, the crisis of capitalism
itself.

In the city of Berkeley, International Workers Day was,
first and foremost, a day of protest against the ongoing I.C.E. raids

The May 9 Teach-In

success. The turnout was significant -- a total of 322 participated
throughout the course of the afternoon. Most important the
presentations and the discussion from the floor dealt with the
fundamental challenges to the labor movement and its community allies
in this new situation of deepening economic crisis.
