A major teachers' strike has broken out in Nigeria over the question of a Teachers' Salary Scale. What is significant is that 88% of the population is backing the strike.

The role of the Pakistan Army
By Lal Khan in Lahore   
Tuesday, 22 July 2008
To look at the Pakistan Army solely as the instrument of the ruling class would mean ignoring the real contradictions that have developed within it. On the one hand an important wing of the top military brass are now involved directly in the economy, both the legal and the "black economy", including drug running. There is another contradiction, which is that between the top brass and the lower ranks who are more in touch with the mood of the masses.

[Ted Grant Archive Update] - German Workers Vote Labour—Demonstrate Opposition to Nazism
By Ted Grant in 1946   
Friday, 18 July 2008
The first democratic elections in Germany after the war, in 1946, saw the workers' parties triumph, especially the Social Democrats, a swing of the petty bourgeoisie toward the Christian Democrats, the collapse of the openly right-wing parties and a total rejection of the Nazis. Ted Grant pointed out that this was the answer to those, including the Stalinists and Labour leaders, who blamed the German workers for Hitler's crimes. The relative setback of the Stalinists and protest vote in the Soviet Zone also indicated that German workers were in favour of Socialism, but were repelled by the Stalinist caricature of it.
