Three years have passed since Israel's disengagement from Gaza. This article draws a critical balance sheet of these events and explains why the Israeli left and many others internationally were so wrong in regarding Sharon's decision as a step towards peace in the region. The choice to pull-out from Gaza, on the contrary, served the strategic interests of the Israeli ruling class.

Marxism deals with history concretely, not in the abstract. Historical
materialism carefully deals with the different historical stages through which
humankind has developed and explains the particular laws that govern different
socio-economic formations.

Historical
materialism sets out from the premise that the mainspring of historical
development is, in the last analysis, the development of the productive forces
- that is, humankind's power over nature.

The
crisis of the capitalist system is reflected in a crisis of bourgeois
values, morality, religion, politics and philosophy. The mood of
pessimism that afflicts the bourgeoisie and its ideologues in this
period is manifested in the poverty of its thought, the triviality of
its art and the emptiness of its spiritual values. It is expressed in
the wretched philosophy of post-modernism, which imagines itself to
be superior to all previous philosophy, when in reality it is vastly
inferior.

After
having won a two-thirds majority in the recall referendum, Bolivian president Evo Morales made an appeal to the oligarchy
to negotiate and for national unity. As was to be expected, the
oligarchy responded by launching a renewed offensive against the
democratically elected government using all means at its disposal. But now we
are seeing an organised reaction against the oligarchy. Building on the
movement that started on May 4th, the mass movement of workers and
peasants is being in the streets once again.

The workers of Iran
Telecommunications Industry in Shiraz, in southern Iran, have not been
paid for five months. They went on strike, including blocking the street opposite the factory, and they chanted slogans
condemning their situation, criticising their bosses and managers, and
even government leaders. The protest was broken up by the violent intervention of the riot
police.

Since its launch on 28 April 2008, HOV Indonesia has become an active medium for
discussions on the Venezuelan Revolution, especially around the issue
of nationalization of the oil and gas industry in Indonesia. It has managed to reach out to various marginalized sectors of the
population: the youth, workers, women, urban poor, and young artists.
