K. Marx wrote in the 19th century that the bourgeoisie must expand the capitalist economic system into every corner on this planet. The capitalism must "break all borders". The cheap prices of its products will break all "Chinese Walls". Through the fast development of the communication even the most underdeveloped system will fall. This development will create nearly everywhere – as we can see except the most of the parts of Africa - totally cosmopolitical societies. And there the progressive class, Marx said the proletariat, will develop the basis for the world wide free, according to Marx communist (but you can call it however you want...) society of humanism. R. Luxemburg, wrote in the beginning of the last century, in "The Crisis of the Social Democracy": "This brutal triumphal march of the capital across the world, by using all means... has one bright side: It creates the prerequisite for it final (definite) ruin. It is creating the capitalist world power, followed by the socialist (or call it however you want...) world revolution." The capitalist globalization just creates, even many people must suffer under it, the final basis for our, a human globalization! We just have to know how to use this opportunity!

It is just a shame for us that we were not able to kick out this reformist, corrupt... criminal gang last March, when we all had the possibility... Here the first bourgeois (and be sure they will be happy about it!!!) voice about it in today's Korea Times: Union Leaders to Resign Over Corruption Scandal By Lee Hyo-sik Staff Reporter Lee Soo-ho, right, president of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), answers a question from lawmakers during the parliamentary inspection on the Ministry of Labor at the National Assembly in Yoido, Tuesday. Lee and other KCTU leaders said that they will step down in January over a series of corruption scandals plaguing the nation’s second largest umbrella labor group. /Yonhap Leaders of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) Tuesday decided to resign en masse in January over a series of corruption scandals, dealing a serious blow to the nation’s labor movement. South Korea’s second largest umbrella group said during a press conference that its leaders, including president Lee Soo-ho, will step down next year after fixing pending issues by the end of this year. It then plans to hold an election to select a new group of leaders to run the union for the next three years. Lee pledged not to run for any leadership positions, taking responsibility for a bribery scandal surrounding one of its vice presidents. The decision was made at an emergency meeting with representatives of local braches and other high-ranking officials, aimed at mapping out follow-up measures, one day after Lee voluntarily suspended his post. ``I take full responsibility for the bribery scandal as the president and sincerely apologize for it, ’’ Lee said. KCTU vice president Kang Seung-kyu was arrested last Friday for allegedly taking 81 million won ($78,000) in bribes from taxi unions. The prosecution claimed Kang received 51 million won in bribes from Park Bok-gyu, chairman of the National Taxi Transportation Union Association, and other executives of the taxi operators’ group in return for influence peddling. The KCTU also decided to launch an internal investigation into vice president Kang and set up an internal surveillance system to strengthen ethics among high-ranking union officials and monitor changes in their assets. ``While in office, I will make effort to reform the organization by cleaning up past wrongdoings of union representatives,’’ Lee said. He added that the umbrella union plans to launch countermeasures against the government attempt to gain parliamentary approval for a bill on non-regular workers, which it claims will further reduce job security. Since the beginning of the year, many union members have been implicated in corruption cases, dealing a severe blow to the KCTU that boasts 619,200 members from 744 unions. They were accused of embezzling union funds, taking kickbacks from businesses and accepting bribes from jobseekers in return for employment. The nation's largest umbrella labor union, the Federation of Korean Trade Unions (FKTU), has also gotten into the worst crisis in its 59-year history as its former leader was arrested in May for taking kickbacks from a construction firm in a high-profile corruption scandal. A Seoul district court yesterday sentenced FKTU president Lee Nam-soon to 18 months in prison and 220 million won in fines for accepting about 200 million won ($200,000) in kickbacks from a contractor in return for a building project for a union welfare center in Yoido, Seoul. ``A series of corruption scandals resulted from the lack of a transparent internal audit system inside unions to prevent their representatives from conducting illegal practices for personal gains,’’ said Bae Kiu-sik, research fellow at the Korea Labor Institute. Bae added that even though the scandals may have damaged unions, it is a good opportunity to clean up bad practices and make the organization a more democratic one.

1. This picture (I got it from my friend’s, comrade’s or whatever.. blog. Actually partly she should rename her blog to My I Hate Bush Blog... 하하) shows people who don't know, perhaps nothing about the history. Fascism, especially the German fascism was a regime, supported - aeh... elected - by a majority of the German voters, with the one of the only goals to get the world dominion. Another goal was the termination of all so-called "under-humans" (in German Untermenschen), such as Jews, gypsies (Sinti and Roma), bolsheviki/communists, disabled people (so-called "unwertes Leben", in German). For this they used everything from pogroms to the industrial mass termination in the gas chambers. This is/was the REAL fascism! And the only followers of this ideas you find today, beside in the international fascist scene, in Middle East "resistance" movements, mainly in groups such as Hamas, Jihad Islamiya, Hizbollah, Fatah, the so-called Iraqi resistance, and so on... 2. We should know that the capitalism is a bloody "business", it should known by every political progressive person. After the 2nd World War, after the USA, in one front with the other anti-fascist allies, liberated Europe from the fascism (AND ... KOREA FROM THE JAPANESE IMPERIALISM!!!), nearly all US presidents became war criminals. Kennedy in Vietnam, Clinton in Yugoslavia - both were so-called Democrats... 3. Actually we should be happy about Bush, because, beside he is a complete political idiot, he is a real sincere representative of the ruling class. Nobody else says such things so open like him, we just must learn from this/his lectures and...

Fortress Europe is Still Killing Refugees from the South

The situation for the African refugees, who were trying, or want to try to reach the Spanish zones in the North of Morocco is now dramatically worsen. Today’s UK daily The Guardian reported that the humanitarian organization Medics without Borders (French MSF) detected 500 African refugees in the Sahara desert zone near the Algerian border. Some days ago the Moroccan police and military arrested them near the Spanish Melilla and deported them handcuffed to there. WITHOUT TO GIVE THEM ANY FOOD OR WATER! Already last weekend German newspapers reported that between 1000 and 2000 African refugees were deported under the same conditions in the desert. THIS MEANS PLANNED MASS MURDER! But it was/is demanded by politicians of the European Union. Of course now there is an outcry about this situations in the public, but already the presence of this act of inhumanity, terror of the "develope" North against the poor in the South, in the European media is decreasing. But that’s just the reality of IMPERIALISM.

It seems that the entire country, I mean S.K., is mobilizing for the APEC summit next month in Busan.

 

 

 

It is good to see that still many people here are thinking very political. Before yesterday friends of mine wrote me about the Anti-APEC festival in Busan. It was held just beside the PIFF tents. Except that the "sound was complete terrible" ("total beschissen", they wrote in German), the idea to show the international audience there that in S.K. not everyone is agreeing with the current economic and political world system is a real good idea. (Wow, the movie about the struggle of migrant workers in S.K. was totally sold out, according to a friend, he was in the audience yesterday and wrote me today) But on the other side I am worrying that this coming demonstration will be just another new chapter in the anti/counter globalization events... without any results for the people who are suffering under the current capitalism, a.k.a. globalization, or some people call it neo-liberalism. First of all we should recognize that the globalization is a duty of capitalism. If we cant abolish the current economic and political system, the capitalism, we must deal with it. By the way, even K. Marx, about 150 years ago wrote that the capital will be forced to bring all the products to the even last corner on this planet, will make profit of everything and everywhere, without any borders. We must work for an alternative globalization, a globalization from below. But it is not enough just to carry pickets with this demands in Mumbai, Seoul or Busan, we must fulfill this demand with life! For example some months ago I got in contact with a activist of the Trade Union in the P.R. China (by the way, even they are a part of the government, they getting more and more radical...). And she agreed that we must create a East Asian Union (EAU) from bellow, before the capitalists are able to realize their own plans of a EAU. But she said, that until now she got no real signs from other activist groups, for example the KCTU... Or another example: we, I mean in S.K. have thousands of migrant workers from China. But just few activists, mainly involved in the struggle of migrant workers, are trying to get in contact with them. If we dont want to try to get in contact with them, dont want to try to create a network with them [sooner or later they will/have (to) go back to China], we lose many good opportunities to create the GLOBALIZATION FROM BELLOW.. and the capital, again, will f... us! These are just some uncompleted thoughts about this subject... I will continue it soon...

Months ago I posted something about the Lunatic With the Bomb (KIm jr./북한..) But (at least) now we have the proof that there is another lunatic on the power of a state: G. W. Bush Nabil Shaath, who was Palestinian foreign minister at the time, said: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I am driven with a mission from God'. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did.", the UK daily The Guardian wrote yesterday. Here you can read the entire article: George Bush: 'God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq' President told Palestinians God also talked to him about Middle East peace Ewen MacAskill Friday October 7, 2005 The Guardian George Bush has claimed he was on a mission from God when he launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, according to a senior Palestinian politician in an interview to be broadcast by the BBC later this month. Mr Bush revealed the extent of his religious fervour when he met a Palestinian delegation during the Israeli-Palestinian summit at the Egpytian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, four months after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. One of the delegates, Nabil Shaath, who was Palestinian foreign minister at the time, said: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I am driven with a mission from God'. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did." Mr Bush went on: "And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East'. And, by God, I'm gonna do it." Mr Bush, who became a born-again Christian at 40, is one of the most overtly religious leaders to occupy the White House, a fact which brings him much support in middle America. Soon after, the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz carried a Palestinian transcript of the meeting, containing a version of Mr Bush's remarks. But the Palestinian delegation was reluctant publicly to acknowledge its authenticity. The BBC persuaded Mr Shaath to go on the record for the first time for a three-part series on Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy: Elusive Peace, which begins on Monday. Religion also surfaced as an issue when Mr Bush and Tony Blair were reported to have prayed together in 2002 at his ranch at Crawford, Texas - the summit at which the invasion of Iraq was agreed in principle. Mr Blair has consistently refused to admit or deny the claim. Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian prime minister, who was also part of the delegation at Sharm el-Sheikh, told the BBC programme that Mr Bush had said: "I have a moral and religious obligation. I must get you a Palestinian state. And I will." Mr Shaath's comments came as Mr Bush delivered a speech yesterday aimed at bolstering US support for the Iraq war. He revealed that the US and its partners had disrupted at least 10 serious al-Qaida plots since September 11, including three planned attacks in the US. "Because of this steady progress, the enemy is wounded - but the enemy is still capable of global operations," he said. He added that Islamic radicals had used a series of excuses to justify their attacks, from conflict with the Israelis to the Crusades 1,000 years ago. "We're facing a radical ideology with unalterable objectives: to enslave whole nations and intimidate the world," he said. He conceded that al-Qaida, led in Iraq by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and other insurgents had gained ground in Iraq but the US would not leave until security had been established. "Some observers also claim that America would be better off by cutting our losses and leaving Iraq now. This is a dangerous illusion, refuted with a simple question: Would the United States and other free nations be more safe, or less safe, with Zarqawi and Bin Laden in control of Iraq, its people, and its resources?" Mr Bush asked.

THE MELILLA REFUGEE TRAGEDY, OR BETTER THE EUROPEAN WAR CRIME AGAINST IMMIGRANTS

In the night to Wednesday, local time, during a new assault to the Spanish ex territorial area of Melilla about 65 African refugees were able to enter the Spanish territory. But also many people were injured during the attempt to reach the Fortress Europe, a.k.a. European Union. Also on Wednesday the governments of Spain and Morocco agreed that from now the Spanish “authorities” will deport all “illegal” African migrants back to Morocco. But this means for the most of them their INEVITABLE DEATH!! Here is a report by a European, bourgeois magazine from the last weekend about the refugee tragedy there (yesterday was a very impressive article about it in the German daily Berliner Zeitung, but I dont know if I have the power or endurance to translate it...): ASSAULTING CEUTA AND MELILLA Through the Razor Wire and into the EU By Yassin Musharbash in Ceuta, Spain It's a gruelling journey and many get left behind on the way. But for those who manage to finally scale the razor-wire fence surrounding Ceuta and Melilla in northern Africa, it's a dream come true. They have left poverty behind in the hopes of a new life in the EU. The new arrivals are obvious. Exhaustion written on their faces, many of them are still not up for speaking even after days in the holding center. Several sit motionless, faces propped up by their hands, on a worn-out sofa. Quiet sighs come from the wounded. They stare into empty space. The first impression of desperation is deceptive though: Behavior which normally might be mistaken for depression means victory in Ceuta. After a long battle, they have finally hit the Jackpot. The six men in the room -- all from sub-Saharan Africa -- have arrived in the waiting room for a better life in Europe. The journey is not an easy one. After a several-week-long odyssey across Africa, they've managed to get across the three-meter-high barbed-wire fence that separates Africa from the Spanish city of Ceuta. Now, even though they're still physically on the African continent, they are politically beyond Africa's reach and under the protection of EU law. The Christian organization "La Cruz Bianca" provides them with food and clothing, and since they've all "lost" their passports, they can't be sent back to their countries of origin. But the men, all between 20 and 30, are too exhausted to show their joy. Ayuba, 21, is one of them. He fled the Ivory Coast because of the political insecurity and lack of work. "That was 2003," he says. He arrived in Morocco only after trekking on foot across Mali and Algeria. Then he lived for 16 months in the forests outside of Ceuta. Until last week, that is, when he decided, along with hundreds of others, to attempt to scale the fence. Five of his companions died during the incursion. And they keep on coming Determining who shot them is the subject of serious discussion in Spain and Marocco and Spain immediately sent more security to guard both Ceuta and the country's second northern African enclave, Melilla. But the wave of would-be immigrants has continued, and on Monday morning, hundreds more assaulted the fences surrounding Melilla with some 200 managing to get through according to Red Cross officials. "I want to work in Europe and send money back home," says Ayuba. In the Ivory Coast, he was a farm laborer, he says. He lived in a simple hut and hated his life more and more. "Now everything will get better," he hopes. In a couple of weeks, the Spanish authorities will likely have to take him to the Spanish mainland; the holding center in Ceuta is once again filled to overflowing. Ayuba will then be officially asked to leave the country. But, unofficially, everyone knows that Ayuba won't do that. Instead, Ayuba will labor in the plantations of the Iberian Peninsula, or sell sunglasses on the streets, or move to northern Europe where he'll work on the black market. No one who has made it this far will go back voluntarily. He's dreamed about this moment for a long time. Ayubas story is a typical one among sub-Saharan African migrants -- a group that makes up the majority of the thousands each year who try to reach Ceuta. But, Africans are no longer the only ones dreaming of Ceuta. Indeed, globalization has made a deep imprint on the paths taken by refugees. The 16-square-kilometer enclave has become a world-wide symbol of hope. Indeed, a quick trip to the "Centro de Estancia temporal de Inmigrates" -- CETI for short -- reveals a vast array of peoples and nationalities. The camp is occupied by Iraqis, Indians, Pakistanis, and Algerians, among others, all clad in donated clothes and in possession of green, plastic ID cards. Even Chinese have turned up in the camp -- some of whom took the long way in by actually swimming out to sea from the African mainland and then back to the Ceuta waterfront. Raising the fence won't help Ceuta -- a city that is half vacation paradise and half grimy border town -- deals with the flood of migrants in astoundingly calm fashion. There is little violence say the residents of CETI, and there are several organizations, like "La Cruz Blanca", that help out when CETI fills up. But the residents of Ceuta are aware that things can't continue this way forever. The numbers of would-be immigrants continues to rise and Thursday's deaths show that the EU doesn't have any productive answer to the pressure that migrants are putting on the small city. The fence is now being raised to six meters and the army is taking control of security while Spain itself is determined to allow even fewer immigrants in. In reality, though, the problem is not the height of the fence, but the failure to address the root causes of immigration. No one has an answer to the most pressing question: how to prevent immigrants from leaving their countries in the first place? Ceuta lies on the seam between the first and third world. And as long as Europe seems like a paradise, people will continue to fashion home-made ladders in hopes of crossing over the fence. The story of Nadem Waheed, who was born in Bangladesh, gives a fair sense of the hardships migrants are willing to endure for the sake of reaching Europe. "My income in Dhaka wasn't enough to support my wife and two sons," reports the 38 year-old, who stands in the sunshine wearing a jogging suit and flip-flops. "It wasn't even enough to send my kids to school." Nadeem struggled to save €5,000 for the man who promised to smuggle him "directly to Europe." It was a lie. Instead of a direct path, Nadeem undertook a miserable trek that ended up taking the lives of many of his fellow travelers. Dying of thirst in the Sahara The journey began when the smuggler loaded Nadeem and his fellow migrants onto a cargo ship. After several weeks -- Nadeem doesn't know how many -- the vessel arrived on the West African coast and Nadeem and his companions went on to Mali by foot. "There, they packed 15 of us into a pick-up truck and we crossed the Sahara," says Nadeem. "That took 23 days, and there was almost nothing to drink." Many died of dehydration; their corpses were left behind in the sand. "Most of the time, I was barely coherent. I thought that it would never end. I didn't know where I was. I was scared," he recalls. "Finally, we saw the ocean." Nadeem's group thought that this was the end of the journey. Actually, they had just reached the Moroccan city of Casablanca on the Atlantic Coast. Here, the smugglers herded the Indians and Bangladeshis onto tiny boats, or "pateras." The horror continued. "The boats capsized repeatedly," says Nadeem. "Again, many people died. They just let them drown." Now Nadeem is waiting to be shipped to the Spanish mainland. Nadeem has trouble sleeping because of the terrible journey. He's lonely. For over a year, he hasn't spoken with his wife and his sons; he doesn't know if he'll ever see them again. Nonetheless, he says, "I am happy." Such is a typical portrait of a winner: at least it is here in Ceuta.
