Today is the 35th anniversary of the military coup in Chile that
overthrew the Allende government, putting an end to the revolutionary
process that started in 1970. Here we republish two articles that analyse
the tragic history of the Chilean revolution and counter-revolution and a brief
commentary on the death of the ex-dictator, Augusto Pinochet.

Socialist Appeal (http://www.socialist.net/) is pleased to announce
the publication of the first in the new series run of our journal of
Marxist theory, the Marxist International Review. The main part of
the Summer 2008 issue comprises the first two chapters of Alan Woods'
unpublished book on the history of philosophy. Also included is Leon
Trotsky's short but ever relevant article, Against the stream.

This statement was
unanimously passed at the World Congress of the International Marxist Tendency.
All efforts must be made to stop the oligarchy's plans to remove Morales, which
they see as a step in the direction of re-establishing their control over the
situation.

On hearing of the nationalisation
of Banco de Venezuela the World Congress of the International Marxist Tendency,
which was sitting at the time, immediately discussed this important measure
taken by the Venezuelan government and passed unanimously this resolution of
support.

El 31 de julio en un programa de televisión emitido para todo el país,
el presidente Chávez anunció la nacionalización del Banco de Venezuela,
el banco venezolano propiedad de la multinacional bancaria española
Grupo Santander. Vamos a nacionalizar el Banco de Venezuela. Hago un
llamado a los señores dueños para que vengan por aquí y empecemos a
negociar .
