"This one from British satirist Chris Morris:
Bushwhacked!
The surrealism, and applause,
is particularly fine.
Enjoy!"

"A snippet of history. Political media is pretty dull and earnest as a rule, but the years since 1968 are peppered with exceptions that have broken the strictures of discourse and allowed individuality and subjectivity to break through. In Bologna, Italy, Radio Alice, although short-lived was a crucial experience in this regard for an important part of the movement of '77. In comparison with the other radio stations of the 'movement', Alice allowed voices of youth and difference to emerge over the air in ways that were not possible for broadcasters operating with a narrowly ideological agenda. Here is a taste of their own inimitable collective style. Enjoy."
"Radio Alice--Free Radio"
Collective A/Traverso
After the events of March 1977 - Radio Alice
became the symbol of the free radios. It was
emitted from Bologna, one of the strongholds
of the ICP and the explicit showcase for the
Historical Compromise.

Farewell to the Proletariat
Andre Gorz
Q: In 1958, in your book The Traitor you said the ultimate objective for any intellectual was to join the Communist Party, and now you've issued your Farewell to the Proletariat. So who changed, you, the Communist Party or the proletariat?
Andre Gorz: Everything's changed: the structure of the economy, society, the working class, the means of production and therefore the future. And it's no surprise that the labor movement, formed by the historical past, is weakened rather than radicalized by this crisis. If we are searching for a noncapitalist outcome to this crisis, and even more crucially what potential it holds for the construction of a different kind of society, the labor movement, with its parties and its unions, has little to offer. Obviously nothing can happen without it, but it is no longer the inner sanctum for the elaboration of postcapitalist ideas, practice and values.
"The Order of War"
Antonio Negri
(First appeared in the Italian Global Magazine in November, 2002
Translated into English by Arianna Bove and Thomas Seay)
Iran, Iraq, North Korea. Within the new world order, roles and pecking orders are being redefined through conflict with "rogues states". This is the game in progress between the United States, China, Europe and Russia.

"The Tribe of Moles"
Sergio Bologna (1977)
This article is a provisional attempt to trace the internal development of the autonomous class movement in Italy, which led to the explosive confrontation around the University occupations in Spring 1977. Such an analysis is only meaningful if it allows us to uncover the new class composition underlying these struggles, and to indicate the first elements of a programme to advance and further generalise the movement.
"There Is No Communism in 'Soviet' Russia"
Emma Goldman (1935)
Communism is now on everybody's lips. Some talk of it with
the exaggerated enthusiasm of a new convert, others fear and
condemn it as a social menace. But I venture to say that
neither its admirers--the great majority of them--nor those
who denounce it have a very clear idea of what Bolshevik
Communism really is.
"Slouching Toward Baghdad"
Mike Davis, February 28, 2003
Imperial Washington, like Berlin in the late 1930s, has become a
psychedelic capital where one megalomaniacal hallucination succeeds
another. Thus, in addition to creating a new geopolitical order in
the Middle East, we are now told by the Pentagon's deepest thinkers
that the invasion of Iraq will also inaugurate "the most important
'revolution in military affairs' (or RMA) in two hundred years."
"We Plebeians"
Brian Holmes
But for a few lone wolves, the Aristocrats are weary, recalcitrant,
suspicious. Dissension has broken out within the very ranks of the
Monarchy. And the eternal muttering of the Plebe has swollen to a
tremendous roar. Such is the world situation in the tripartite terms
of Empire.

"The following interview appears in the March 1-15, 2003 issue of the Indian magazine Frontline as part of a larger cover focus on international opposition to the impending war.
WORLD SOCIAL FORUM
'This is a war linked to neo-liberal economics'
Interview with Tariq Ali by SHARMINI PERIES
"WSF is a magnificent moral demonstration against the war on Iraq," stated Tariq Ali, speaking on the topic "Against Militarisation and War" before a WSF panel on January 24, 2003. The Pakistan-born writer and political activist eloquently made his anti-war arguments to a cheering and elated crowd of over 20,000 gathered at the Gigantinho Stadium in Porto Alegre, Brazil. He urged the WSF to clearly add its voice to the growing anti-war movement across the world.

Answers to Two Gereat Mysteries
John Chuckman,
YellowTimes.org Columnist (Canada), Tuesday, February 18, 2003
(YellowTimes.org) -- On Friday, February 14, the Foreign Minister of France, M. de Villepin, gave a remarkable speech to the U.N. Security Council. The precision and force of reason with which he put France's case concerning Iraq were nothing less than astonishing.
