In
January, Chavez said he defended the line of Leon Trotsky's theory of the
Permanent Revolution. But how does this theory, developed in 1905, relate to
what's happening in Latin America at the present time? Yesterday 40 people packed the NUJ
Headquarters in London to find out. Alan Woods, author and editor of the In
Defence of Marxism website was invited to speak at the Hands Off Venezuela
meeting to explain the theory and it's relevance today.
The
Pakistan
Trade Union Defence Campaign Multan

in solidarity with the Airbus workers.
Participants
were informed about the struggle of Airbus workers in France and
other European countries, and discussed the campaign demanding the
nationalisation of the company.
