Class war intesifies in Egypt - Photo: Carlos LatuffWith the re-introduction of the emergency law, the military junta is desperately trying to strangle the revolution and return to the "normality" of the Mubarak era. But the workers are on the move. The recent upsurge in strikes and protests could spell the end for the SCAF regime.

Egyptian working class organising and on the move – The euphoria amongst the Egyptian masses that followed the fall of Mubarak in February has disappeared. The hard reality of the situation – in which political, social, and economic conditions have barely changed – has set in. The revolution has not ended, however, but has, after a brief lull, transitioned from the streets to the workplaces. The working class in Egypt – the motor force of the revolution – is organising and is on the move.

 
 ESPAÑOL
By Alan Woods

Europa está al borde de un precipicio. Este es el juicio, no sólo de los marxistas, sino de los estrategas más serios del Capital. Apenas seis semanas han pasado desde el último paquete de rescate griego, y ya se está desmoronando. Ahora hay una crisis general de confianza en las filas de la burguesía internacional. El pánico, que se refleja en los giros salvajes de las bolsas de valores, se ha extendido rápidamente desde Europa a América. Es una especie de contagio mortal que ha infectado a todos los grandes países de la zona euro.

Kapitalismens historiske krise, revolution i Mellemøsten og Europa og et socialistisk alternativ til den Europæiske Union. Det var bare nogle af de emner, der udgjorde baggrunden for Socialistisk Standpunkts 10års jubilæum lørdag den 24. september.Forud var gået ugevis af forberedelser og resultatet lod intet tilbage at ønske.
