By Alan Woods

ChristianityThe growth of Christianity during the first centuries of the modern era was phenomenal, especially among the lower orders. People who had nothing on earth and who lived in poverty were promised immense rewards in the after-life – provided they accepted their lot as slaves. This doctrine had an obvious appeal to the downtrodden masses, but it had equally obvious advantages for the ruling class. Eventually, the latter realized this and took the appropriate measures. But all these measures were in vain. The Church continued to thrive despite persecution – and possibly because of it.


By New Zealand Socialist Appeal Editorial Board

Phil Goff - Agência BrasilFor the Labour Party the 2011 general election defeat was the worst since 1928. The main factor for this was the historic low turnout as many workers stayed at home and were not enthused enough by the right-wing leadership of the Labour Party to go out and vote. The turn out was down from (what was considered then a low turnout) 79.46% at the 2008 general election to 73.83%. This was the lowest turnout since 1878!

The 1960s: Lessons for Today By Tom Trottier

By Tom Trottier

The 1960s: Lessons for TodayThe Occupy movement has many people looking to past movements to see what we can learn from them that can help us in today's struggles.  The period of the 1960s and early 1970s was one of upheaval around the world: May 1968, the Tet Offensive, the revolution in Pakistan, etc. The USA was not exempt from these powerful social movements. In the 1950s, the movement to end Jim Crow segregation helped to spur on movements against the U.S. imperialist war on Vietnam, large strike movements by the working class, and the movements for equal rights for women and the LGBT community.


By Martin Sweeney (Fightback Belfast)

While between 2 and 3 million struck in Britain, in the North of Ireland about 200,000 people took part in the Public Sector  strike action on 30th November. Schools and civil service offices were shut, as were job centres and council services. Rail and bus services were non-existent. Union members held marches, pickets, and rallies throughout the country over the issue of pensions. The main rally took place in Belfast city centre, where around 15,000 gathered and several thousands spread over Craigavon, Omagh, Armagh, Ballymena, Derry and other towns.

It was the youth who initiated these revolutions and movements. Subcontinent and Pakistan have a rich history of the revolutionary role played by the youth. As the "best barometer of society", the revolutionary youth of Pakistan have realized the need to join hands in their common struggle against oppression, unemployment, fundamentalism, discrimination, costly education and capitalism.

Egypt Elections Feared as unfair and rigged

Egypt elections Photo: Carlos LatuffOn Friday more than a million Egyptian youth, workers and poor yet again assembled in Tahrir Square. The masses have once again risen in an attempt to remove the remnants of the Mubarak regime, which are still in power. Not far from Tahrir, in Abbassiya Square, not more than a couple of thousand people gathered in a pathetic demonstration in support of the SCAF. To the sceptics who did not believe in the revolution, this should be a clear demonstration of the real balance of forces. But at the same time the revolution clearly faces obstacles, not from external forces, but in its own internal contradictions.

Tahrir square during the "Million man march"Events in Egypt are developing at lightning speed. Similarly to the last days of Mubarak in February this year, we see daily battles on the streets of Cairo and elsewhere. The Egyptian masses are determined to see the revolution carried through to the end. The clash between revolution and counter-revolution is provoking a crisis inside all political forces, as the rank and file instinctively move towards revolution and the leaderships vacillate and try to hold the masses back.

However, that is based on a mechanical, empirical approach that sees China maintaining its present levels of growth uninterruptedly for years to come. In the past Japan was also supposed to keep on growing, but then its apparent meteoric rise was cut across by a long period of stagnation.

 Russia's Baltic radar to monitor missile launches across Europe, Atlantic

 MOSCOW: Russia's radar station in the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad will monitor missile launches from the North Atlantic, as well as the future European missile defense system, the Aerospace Defense Forces chief said on Friday.

 "We will be able to control the entire European continent and the Atlantic, including the European missile defense system," Lt. Gen. Oleg Ostapenko said.

 The radar station is ready to go into operation as part of the national missile early warning attack system, he said.

 In addition, Iskander tactical missiles will be deployed in the Kaliningrad region "in the near future," the general said.

 Russia's air defense system will have the capability to intercept any type of missiles, any targets at any speed, including hypersonic ones, Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said on Tuesday.

 The new system, comprising air defense, missile defense, missile early warning attack and space control systems, should be up and running by December 1.

 Ostapenko's remarks come after President Dmitry Medvedev said on Wednesday that Russia would move "advanced offensive weapon systems" to its European borders in response to a planned U.S.-backed NATO missile shield if talks on the project fail.

 Moscow is seeking written, legally binding guarantees that the shield will not be directed against it. Washington, however, has refused to put its verbal assurances in writing.

 Washington responded by saying it would not alter its plans for a European missile defense project, despite increasingly tough rhetoric from Moscow.

 Kaliningrad missile early warning radar able to monitor Europe, North Atlantic - commander

 MOSCOW: A radar station built in the Kaliningrad region will seriously enhance the information capabilities of Russia's missile early warning system, Russian Aerospace Defense Force Commander Lieut. Gen. Oleg Ostapenko told journalists on Friday.

 "It will allow us to efficiently monitor missile launches over the entire European continent, as well as from the North Atlantic area, including the functioning and systems of the European missile defense shield," he said.

 All efforts to build the radar in Kaliningrad and to put it into operation have already been completed, Ostapenko said.

 "Specialists have already been trained and licensed to operate the station. We are prepared today to add this station to the general missile early warning system as soon as the supreme commander-in-chief issues such an order," he said.

 The Kaliningrad-based radar has unprecedented qualities, he said.

 "It will seriously expand the range of information gathering, enabling the country's supreme leadership to subsequently make decisions," the commander said.

 The radar's technical and tactical features allow it to stand out among previous- generation radars. It is an ultra high frequency radar, which can measure parameters with a higher degree of accuracy.

 "It consumes far less power, and the volume of its technological equipment is much smaller," Ostapenko said.

 Such radars' new-generation advanced equipment has made it possible to seriously optimize their maintenance and cut personnel servicing them on a day-to-day basis, as compared with Dnepr-, Daryal- and Volga-type radars, he said.

 "The results of this radar's preliminary trials showed that its main characteristics meet with required targets," the commander said.

 High operational compatibility radars are built within a very short period of time, he said.

 "This technology allows us to improve the station's technical capabilities of target detection, should such a need arise," Ostepenko said.

 Russia's Voronezh-DM ultra high frequency, over-the-horizon long-range high operational compatibility radar has been deployed in the village of Pionerskoye in the Kaliningrad region. The radar is capable of detecting ballistic targets within a range of 4,000 kilometers to 6,000 kilometers.
