Corbynism
three years on
The Tory government hangs by
a thread. Its disastrous Brexit policy threatens to blow it apart and
widespread desperation and anger at seemingly endless austerity could
erupt at any moment. There’s still time, argues PETER TAAFFE, for Jeremy
Corbyn to act decisively in Labour’s drawn out civil war – to develop a
socialist alternative to capitalist crisis and misery.
The latest, starkest global warning
In October, cyclone Leslie
devastated the Iberian peninsula, only the second time a tropical
cyclone has hit Europe since 1842.
It coincided with the meeting of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change, the UN climate research body, where a
report called for a new target to restrict the global temperature rise to 1.5C above pre-industrial
levels, instead of the present target of 2C. It issued a stark,
twelve-year warning. PETE DICKENSON reports.
Do we really need a new Anti-Nazi League?
How can we fight the
far-right when poverty pay, sky-high rents and harsh austerity provide
such fertile ground for racism and reaction? Drawing lessons from the
1970s, PAULA MITCHELL explains the limitations of the approach
epitomised by the ANL – and why a socialist alternative to capitalism’s
inability to provide a decent future is needed to mobilise working-class
people.
