The US reprisal of global nuclear proliferation, threatening a new arms race, could push the world to the brink of annihilation, warns SOPHIE BOLT of CND
THE Communist Party of Chile has emphasised that “the main reforms of the government, together with the most pressing social urgencies require an active government and active social movements.
“Our actions as a party in this next period must place at its centre the unity of the government with the social movements as the main tool for transformations.”
In view of the social situation caused by severe economic problems, it was pointed out that “we communists do not want these effects to be paid for by the households of working men and women,” and in reference to worrying levels of delinquency and organised crime, “we cannot wait for transformations of a structural nature of the security apparatus where immediate responses are required.”
The CPB's congress aims to build the united front against monopoly capitalism, utilising the YCL’s promising new generation of militants — but our party remains far from the strength history requires of it, despite recent progress, writes JOHNNIE HUNTER
For the first time in years, the dominant voice within Chile’s official left comes not from neoliberal centrists but from the world of labour, writes LEONEL POBLETE CODUTTI
