Relay #20 November - December, 2007

<http://www.socialistproject.ca/relay>

In the new issue of Relay, David Mandel writes that the October Revolution
of 1917 in Russia "was the most influential political event of the 20th
century." It is the opening of a vast powerful challenge to capitalism that
swept across the world. Mandel recalls the importance of these events upon
their 90th anniversary, while Herman Rosenfeld reviews Moshe Lewin's 
monumental book, The Soviet Century, and its sweeping assessment of the
Soviet experience. The challenges for anti-capitalist politics today are
quite distinct. They are particularly about building anti-neoliberal
campaigns and reformation of a viable left forming a 21st century
socialism. This issue of Relay surveys a range of these processes and
struggles in Ontario, Quebec and Canada, from the recent Ontario election
and Quebec Social Forum, to current battles in the labour movement in CUPE,
CAW, UNITE-HERE, and living wage campaigns. Remaking socialist politic:
from rethinking our collective past, to building our collective struggles
today.
