Capitalist Decline, Nation State and State of Emergency
1 The dramatic
statement made
by Walter
Benjamin in his
1940 Theses on
the Concept of
History, during
the darkest
hours of the
20th century,
is now, after
9/11, more
actual than
ever: the
"State of
Emergency"
-the temporary
suspension of
law within the
legal order
itself -
becomes rather
the rule than
an exception,
an emergency.
As the
"war on
terror"
launched by the
Bush
Administration
and its
"Coalition
of the

What's going on in the World Social Forum
At the end of
January the
sixth edition
of the World
Social Forum
will be held in
Porto Alegre
(Brazil). As
never before in
its history,
for the Forum
this year a
crisis can be
seen on the
horizon.
Its being held
in the city
which saw it
first see the
light in the
year 2000 (and
the venue for
four of its
five editions)
was seriously
in doubt as a
consequence of
the electoral
defeat suffered
by the PT,
which lost the
mayor's
race, which it

Can the United Nations be reformed?
A "panel
of
notables",
named by the
secretary-general
of the UN, Kofi
Anan, has just
finished
proposing a
series of
changes in the
way the United
Nations
functions. They
are "the
most exhaustive
since its
creation in
1945" (
El País , 2
Jan). When the
UN was created,
the leadership
was then in the
hands of the
five
"permanent"
members of its
Security
Council, with
the power of
veto (the
United States,
the USSR,
Eng… Read more

2005 and its financial crises
As the present
edition of
International
Worker was
going to press,
there was a
chain of scares
on the
principal stock
markets all
over the world.
The apparent
reason for the
fall may have
been an
announcement by
the Federal
Reserve Board
of the United
States that
they would push
forward the
schedule on the
planned
increases in
the interest
rate.
What has
occurred is,
actually, a
preview of the
form the next
financial
crisis will
take, or, to

Defend political prisoners from imperialism
FOR AN INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN
The
imperialist war
"on
terrorism"
is affecting
directly the
political
situation in
every country
both in the
center and the
periphery.
From the start,
following 9/11,
the Bush
Doctrine has
declared an
indefinite war
of aggression
against all the
oppressed
peoples abroad,
from the Middle
East and Asia
to Africa and
Latin America,
as well as
against the
civil liberties
and social
rights at home.
The invasion of
Afghanistan and
then the war

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CRISIS
Capitalist Bankruptcy
T he
international
financial
crisis has
forced the
central banks
to perform an
unprecedented
rescue
operation of
the big
capitalist
conglomerates.
In a few hours
they squandered
half a trillion
dollars, the
kind of money
which is never
available for
health, housing
or education.
Bush rescues
the speculators
at the same
time he reduces
the health
benefits of the
soldiers
returning from
Iraq and
Afghanistan and
when the US is
facing the
collapse of its
