The Struggle for South Africa's Liberation: Success and Failure
John S. Saul
This paper was presented at a seminar at the University of Johannesburg on Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Albie Sachs and Ben Turok served as discussants and a lively, disputatious but comradely exchange followed -- with some challenging interventions from the large audience as well.

SYRIZA's Pyrrhic Victory, and the Future of the Left in Greece
Richard Fidler
In the wake of the September 20 Greek election SYRIZA has once again formed a coalition government with a small right-wing party, ANEL. Both parties lost votes and seats but their standing, like those of most other parties, was not very dissimilar to the results in January, when SYRIZA was first elected.
SYRIZA's 35.46% and ANEL's 3.69%, combined, were sufficient to give them a majority of 155 seats in the 300-seat parliament under Greece's electoral law, which gives 50 additional seats to the party with a plurality, in this case (as before) SYRIZA. However, voter turnout was at an all-time low, 44% of the electorate abstaining although voting is mandatory in...

We played a joke on Harper at just the right moment.

Yesterday we played a joke on the Conservatives and
embarrassed them pretty bad. Now we need your help to take this joke
to the next level.
The Harper Conservatives have been convicted of cheating in 100% of elections they’ve won (2006, 2008 and 2011). So yesterday as Harper was visiting the riding of convicted Conservative Dean Del Mastro, I made a website that looked like a real Conservative website designed to raise money for committing election crime. The donate button took people to the Prime Minister’s real fundraising page. The amazing thing is Conservative supporters actually started trying to donate to it! It made headlines including a story in The National Post highlighting the Conservative history of electoral crime.

Hey PAOV,Today is a pivotal day for the future of our people and planet.
Right now, leaders from 193 countries have met to adopt a roadmap to help the world achieve three extraordinary things: end extreme poverty, reduce inequality, and protect the planet. All by the year 2030.
How? I’d like to introduce you to the Global Goals. Today, the United Nations have agreed on 17 goals, covering everything from gender equality to ending hunger. The Global Goals will impact your life, my life, and the life of every single person on the planet. For that reason, every single person on the planet needs to know about them.
