On one side of the imperialist process of domination in the Middle East is the oil-rich sheikh. The oil cuts, however small, are already showing signs of crisis in Western capitals.
SALUTE TO THE PEOPLE OF FREE GUINEA-BISSAU
34; The National People's Assembly" says that the Declaration of Independence "was formulated on the basis of the principle that power comes from the people and must serve the people. The actions of the People's National Assembly show a strong further revolutionary direction to end the last remnants of this heritage.
A PAPER IS A WEAPON
In May 1973, the head of the Special Branch reported that communist literature, cleverly camouflaged between the covers of innocuous works approved by the South African censor. The crime of all these people was to fight back against the stubborn enforcement of the South African government's 'homeland' policy.
SOUTH AFRICA-
A TIME OF
CHALLENGE
And in no area is the danger so great as in the Bantustan area. It is precisely in the area of the bantustans that the regime has advanced with new strength in the last period.
ZIMBABWE
FREEDOM STRIDINC
At the time of writing, it is clear that guerrillas are still operating in most parts of the country lying north and east of SaJisbury. Massive 'clearances' by the security forces in the districts of Mt Darwin, Centenary, Sipolilo and other parts of the north-eastern sector up to the Mozambique border have failed to completely curtail, let alone stop, the activities of armed cadres. First, it was the mobilization of the people in open resistance to the 'solution' that was so successfully accomplished during the visit of the Pearce Commission.
By September, Smith told the annual conference of the Rhodesian Front that the 'settlement' was dead. Nor is it only in the army that signs of the disintegration of settler society can be seen. The regime panicked again, as in August 1967 at the start of the Wankie campaign.
INDEPENDENCE SOCIALISM
The resolutions of the non-aligned countries themselves help us understand where the divide is in international politics today. Any alienation from the socialist camp means weakening and exposing oneself to the mercy of the still powerful forces of imperialism. These are bitter, outrageous truths that test the strength, unity and will to fight of non-aligned countries.
Their self-sacrificing and victorious struggle against imperialist aggression has served the interests of the entire human race. We must join Argentina in its just demand for the return of the appropriated Malvina [Falkland] Islands. And we must defend the right of the people of Puerto Rico to their full sovereignty.
LISTEN TO RADIO FREEDOM
We support all the statements in favor of greater unity of the non-aligned on the main problems of international life, which are contained in the various proposals presented at the conference. But we are alarmed – more than alarmed, we are becoming indignant – to see a leader of Sekou Toure's stature having to defend himself not only against the Portuguese colonialists, but also against the conspiracies they are promoting in his own underdeveloped Africa. Our faith in certain declarations and postulates of unity is waning when we see that the People's Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Somalia are not free from threats from other African powers, and we note the difficulties of the revolutionary governments of the Democratic Republic of Yemen and the People's Republic of Yemen in overcoming hostilities that may originate in Washington but are carried out from other areas closer to reach.
All this shows that our true unity does not depend on indirect detachment, but on a deeper, more enduring identity born of revolutionary principles, a common anti-imperialist program, and a drive for substantive, compelling social transformations. The position I have just outlined will certainly not be shared by all the leaders who gather here, but I have fulfilled my duty to express it with respect and loyalty to all of you.
ALEXANDER
SOLZHENITSYN
Life through a crooked eye'
This puts Solzhenitsyn in solid company with friends in the West and with South African censors. The common problems of the Soviet people today are those dealing with the transition from socialism to communism, and this is what concerns most writers in the USSR. Three novels and a play by Solzhenitsyn, translated in the West, deal with prison camps.
34; Do not trust your brother; trust your own eye, even crooked." Seeing Soviet life through a crooked eye won him the Nobel Prize for 1970. No one will deny that the Nobel Prize in the eyes of millions of people is a halo. It is in the realm of fiction. that we are in able to see the class and political likes and dislikes of the Nobel Prize Committee.
PABLO NERUDA
There are no clothes for this autumn fall, and less, less, less for next winter. Without a table where are we going to eat, where shtll we sit if there are no chairs.
The ideological work of African
This posed an urgent problem of training political commissars for party organizational and political educational work among the population,). He drew attention to the necessity of strengthening the ideological and political work among the inhabitants of the liberated areas. Nevertheless, the national and political consciousness of the population is growing all the time.
This is proved by the expansion) of the liberation revolution, which the Portuguese colonialists have tried in vain to suppress. The content of their ideological work is based on a series of tasks that must be performed in the course of the national-liberation revolution. These tasks can also be traced to the objective features of the emergence of national citizenship in an anti-colonial struggle.
THEWAR
IN THE
MIDDLE EAST
In this dangerous situation, the South African Communist Party declares its solidarity with the struggle of the Arab peoples to regain their occupied territories and to vindicate the rights of their Palestinian brothers who are like our oppressed people. It is no coincidence that our own racist regime condones and supports the policies of Israel's ruling circles. We welcome the principled support of the just cause of the Arabs by the government and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
We appeal for international action to enforce peace in the Middle East, based on Israel's withdrawal to its borders and the restoration of the rights of the Palestinian people in accordance with the Security Council resolution and the demands of freedom-loving people everywhere. We are convinced that it is only on such a basis that the security of all borders and peoples of the Middle East will be ensured and the implicit threat to world peace removed. Humanity must ensure that the full implementation of the Security Council Resolution of October 1973 will.
Drawing the map of Israel
HEROES
OF THE WAR
However, the renewal of the war cannot be understood if the imperialist Arrerikan factor is not taken into account. Defending the occupation of the territories of other states is not a war of national defense. The opposite is true: the renewal of the war happened because the Israeli government is keeping the Arab territories occupied and preventing a just peace without annexations.
We have repeatedly warned that the continuation of the occupation carries the seeds of renewed war. 34; The citizens of Israel go to the 8th Knesset elections in a situation of danger of renewed war. It can only lead to incessant wars and the loss of young Jewish lives and.
AFRICA
The program of the Congolese Marxist Revolutionary Party (also given in the bulletin) contains many socialist goals. All the experience of the African people in recent times indicates that the Congolese Marxist Revolutionary Party has reached an excessively rigid and ultra-leftist position. The struggle of the people of Cameroon for independence is an integral part of the struggle of the people of the whole world against imperialism, for a society freed from all forms of exploitation of man by man ..The militants of the U.P.C.
On the day of our latest news, this work was still in progress. This fact cannot be explained solely on the basis of the presence of a large Jewish minority in South Africa, whose sympathies are overwhelmingly Zionist. For example, Jews were expressly forbidden from membership in the Nationalist Party until this provision was infamously withdrawn during their rise to power.
SOCIALISM
Driven from the countryside by the dissolution of the estates, millions flocked to the cities to seek work in the burgeoning industries. We cannot possibly return to the earlier ways in Africa that existed before the arrival of the invaders. The purpose of the production is to cover the population's constantly increasing material and cultural needs.
Capitalist economics, depending on the ups and downs of the market (the 'laws of supply and demand') is essentially unplanned and chaotic. National Chairman of the Communist Party, USA, Henry Winston has been at the forefront of working class and African·American struggle for over forty years. The African communist will be irritated by some of the comments, and irritated by the omissions.
LABOUR MONTHLY
He would promise that this would never happen again, and he would fight to preserve Afrikaner dominance to the end. Because he would never see himself in the skin of a black man, he would not be convinced by Schoeman that he was harming others. He would only be more convinced that there is no alternative to the Nationalist government's current policies if he is to avoid getting himself hurt.
Shoeman's message (if it is his message) is received only by those whites who can accept blacks as equals and are already converted. The white racist majority who regard blacks as subhuman are probably immune, unable to see the connections between the oppression of Afrikaners depicted in the book and the oppression of blacks around them in real life.
