From 11th
to 13th October in the FAO building in Rome the Fourth Gathering of Intellectuals
and Artists in Defence of Humanity took place. Present were intellectuals from
many countries, representing many different points of view, but united in their
concern for the crisis that is affecting the whole world and threatens the
future of civilization, culture, the environment and possibly the very survival
of the human race.
Alan Woods is
presently on a speaking tour of Italy
organised by Hands Off Venezuela-Italy and the Marxist tendency FalceMartello.
There is keen interest in hearing a Marxist analysis of the events taking place
in Venezuela
as the successful meetings so far held clearly demonstrate. See also the picture gallery.
