    Mauritius: Marxism, ecology and the contribution of John Bellamy
    Foster <http://links.org.au/node/2463>

By *Lalit de Klas*
June 2011 -- Lalit [the revolutionary socialist party in Mauritius] sees 
the natural universe, whether it be the air above us, the sea around us 
or the Earth we walk upon, and all that lives upon it, and even outer 
space, as being our collective heritage as human beings. We are part of 
it, and also the guardians of it. This natural universe, our Mother 
Earth, is now endangered.

    Martin Hart-Landsberg: Market 'outcomes' and political power
    <http://links.org.au/node/2467>

    */"Now imagine if we had a state that engaged in transparent
    planning and was committed to using our significant public resources
    to reshape our economy in the public interest. ... state planning
    and intervention in economic activity already goes on.
    Unfortunately, it happens behind closed doors and for the benefit of
    a small minority. It doesn't have to be that way."/*

    Crises real and artificial, and why a new 'New Deal' is not feasible
    <http://links.org.au/node/2466>

By *Sam Williams*
August 21, 2011 -- Since World War I, the maximum debt that the U.S. 
government could carry has been determined by law. Every so often as the 
maximum debt limit was approached, Congress routinely voted to raise the 
debt limit. But this year the Republican-controlled House balked. The 
Republican majority threatened to refuse to raise the debt ceiling 
unless the Obama administration agreed not to raise taxes on the rich 
and corporations or even close tax loopholes that have often enabled the 
rich and corporations to pay no taxes at all.

    Libya: NATO's 'conspiracy' against the revolution; Who are the
    Libyan rebels? <http://links.org.au/node/2462>

The following article, reposted from /Jadiliyya/, was written before the 
entry of rebels into Tripoli on August 20-21, signalling the looming 
collapse of the Gaddafi regime. It offers valuable analysis of the 
dynamics between imperialism and the rebel movement and the Libyan 
masses. It contends that the Western powers, in an attempt to control 
the uprising, rationed their military support to ensure that significant 
sections of the Gaddafi state would be retained in any post-Gaddafi regime.

Links seeks to promote the international exchange of information, 
experience of struggle, theoretical analysis and views of political 
strategy and tactics within the international left. It is a forum for 
open and constructive dialogue between active socialists coming from 
different political traditions. It seeks to bring together those in the 
international left who are opposed to neoliberal economic and social 
policies. It aims to promote the renewal of the socialist movement in 
the wake of the collapse of the bureaucratic model of "actually existing 
socialism" in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
