------------

'Vindication', claimed Bush's supporters after anti-Syrian protests in Lebanon. But the US is unleashing forces it cannot control, argues Chris Harman. The Iraq election has not broken the resistance or brought stability, Anne Alexander and Simon Assaf show. And pressure is building up against the Mubarak's 23 year old pro-US dictatorship, socialist activists from Egypt report.

What is the shape of Britain after eight years of New Labour? What has happened to industry, the working class, the schools, the urban landscape? How badly damaged is Labour's base? Jane Hardy, Jacob Middleton, Terry Wrightly, Alex Law, Gerry Mooney and Charlie Kimber provide insights into these issues in a special section.

'Autonomism' is a powerful current in the global anti-capitalist movement. John Holloway, one of its foremost theoreticans, debated Alex Callinicos at a crowded meeting during january's World Social Forum. You can read the complete transcript here.

Hugo Chávez has become a symbol of defiance to imperialism, drawing enthusiastic crowds in places as far apart as Porto Alegra and Calcutta. But what really is happening on the ground in Venezuela? Roland Denis, a Venezuelan revolutionary and former deputy minister, tells of some of the contradictions in the 'Bolivarian' process.

Soon a majority of the world's people will live in cities. In many the working class is a minority of the total population and is hard to organise. Esme Choonara, Andy Durgan and Kieran Allen review important books looking at how workers have managed to shake the ruling class in three cases.

Plus a friendly critique from Argentina of Mike Gonzalez's much-acclaimed book on Che Guevara; John Moluneux on the controversial artist Tracey Emin; Mike Gonzalez on the World Social Forum; and reviews including Angus Calder on Scotland's bourgeois revolution and John Game on Indian Industrialisation.
