2006: A year in Review

2006...

The imperialist wars of aggression raged in Iraq, Afghanistan and Haiti (and still do).

The Israeli Zionists launched a series of attacks on their neighbouring nation of Lebanon, murdering civilians ruthlessly with artillery strikes and bombing raids.

A crisis in Health occured for the Cuban leader, Fidel Castro Ruz. Still, he defied the United States and Infuriated the Miami drug lords by clinging to life to the present day.

The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea was the subject of a brutal smear campaign and economic sanctions by the imperialist powers , as they dared to test missiles and nulear weaponry, in the hopes of defending their besieged nation.

Iran, also, was under pressure for pursuing a nuclear power program.

On Mayday, upwards of 3 Million immigrants demonstrated in the United States and shut down many parts of the country, in defense of their rights against the scape-goat tactics of the American government.

In the Bolivarian republic of Venezuela, President Hugo Chavez Frias was re-elected by an overwhelming majority.

In Nepal, the Communist party of Nepal (Maoist) capitulated to the forces of the Nepalese government and the United Nations, as they laid down the arms in exchange for a spot as a political party in the Nepalese parliament.

In Caledonia, the Six Nations confederacy reclaimed traditional land from the Canadian settlers,
and have held it to the present day, despite many attempts to be driven out by forces of the Canadian state.

Overall, 2006 was a year where reaction seemed to be making a desperate struggle to maintain supremacy, lashing out in all directions at any nation/ group that they percieved as a threat. In everything that they do, from invasions to occupations, sanctions to propaganda campaigns, the
bourgeosie is AFRAID. While they publicly scoff at any notions that thier wars are doomed to failure, and that the people are growing discontent with the current system, every action that the Imperialists take speaks volumes about the depth of their crisis.

I am very hopeful for this new year of 2007. In this year, I suspect that the tide of public opinion will be even harder to hold back, and the imperialists will no longer be able to smile in public; the strain of the multitude of problems, military, economic, social, environmental, etc, will really begin to hit home in this year.

I suspect that this new year will be very interesting.

Thank you,Comrade Soilride.

No disrespect, Henry. I realize that you are a Maoist. As far as Maoists go, I was quite supportive of Sendero Luminiso (Shining path)
back in the day. I was a very staunch supporter of the CPN(M) too, but I feel that Chairman Prachanda betrayed the people of Nepal struggling for Socialism.
By Joining the government of Nepal, Prachanda aknowledges the legitimacy of the government of Nepal.What is the best we can hope for? That the CPN(M) will work within the boundries of the system to create a better life for the people of Nepal? This is not Maoism, this is not Marxism-Leninism, this is pure Social Democracy. Even the Communist Party of India (Maoist) is angrily criticizing Their Nepalese comrades capitulation.

Anyways, happy new year one and all.
