New Zealand is clearly entering into
recession with its economy shrinking in the first quarter of this year.
"Statistics New Zealand" (SNZ) has provided the figures that confirm what most
of us have known for sometime that indeed we are at the beginning of a
recession.

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. This fact alone reveals
the real feelings of the Nigerian working class and poor masses. It reveals the
potential for a much wider movement involving the whole of the working class.

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.

For ten years Gordon Brown has been mouthing the phrase "no return to boom
and bust". Now we see it is meaningless, as the British economy slides into
recession, possibly the worst for decades.

Formally speaking Bush has gained control of Iraq, and now
the puppet Iraqi government has been granting oil concessions to the major
multinational oil corporations. But all this comes at a heavy price in
political terms...

What is the most effective way of combating racism? Fred Weston, of the
marxist.com editorial board, spoke at the Marxist Day School held
recently in London on the effects of positive discrimination and the
lessons for the labour movement, touching on the origins of racism,
the Black question in the USA, South Africa and the struggle against
apartheid and Brazil where today the Black Socialist movement is
opposing racial legislation.

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.

Workers in British
Columbia have seen their pulp, paper, and lumber mills
closing at an alarming rate, leaving thousands jobless and facing an uncertain
future. Whole communities have been devastated as large forestry companies such
as Interfor and Canfor pull out operations and ship jobs overseas where labour
is cheaper.

The death of another female US soldier fighting in Iraq has
aroused serious suspicions as to the circumstances that led to her death. The
war in Iraq
is causing far more casualties than the official figures indicate. The case of
LaVena Johnson is yet another tragic example of why we demand the troops be
brought home now! For more information, please visit www.lavenajohnson.com.

The U.S.
is in the worst housing slump since the Great Depression as home prices fell by
a record 15.3 percent from a year ago in the first few months of the year.
Mortgage defaults and home repossessions have skyrocketed as working people are
unable to make ends meet.

The rising cost of oil, and gasoline in particular, is
having an effect on everything, further stretching the limits of the already
strained wallets of US workers. The oil and energy barons are making big
profits at the expense of US workers. It is time to call for the expropriation
of these parasites.

On Friday 11 July the Iranian regime's Supreme Court upheld
the death sentence passed against Farzad Kamangar, a teacher, journalist and
civil society activist. He is accused of being a member of the Kurdistan
Workers Party (PKK) in Turkey. This is a clear case of political discrimination
and Farzad needs the solidarity of workers around the world.
