Factory and university occupations in France. US civil rights and rage at the Vietnam war. Upheavals in Italy, Pakistan and Northern Ireland. Revolt in Stalinist Czechoslovakia. Repression in Mexico. Events in 1968 sent shockwaves around the world. In 2008, Socialism Today produced a special edition on that revolutionary year. We reprint an extract from the extensive overview by PETER TAAFFE. Editorial: Corbynism and some lessons from 1968 The events of recent weeks have displayed again the undiminished hostility of the ruling class to Jeremy Corbyn’s continued leadership of the Labour Party. They have given a glimpse of how ferocious, vile and unscrupulous the opposition of the capitalists’ state, political and media establishment will be – including that from their agents within the Labour Party – in the event of a Corbyn-led government coming to office. Naomi Klein’s latest book weighs the rise of Trump and the movements of the last two decades. At times insightful, always passionate and angry, it presents an ultimately pessimistic view. The alternative she puts forward just does not go far enough, as SARAH WRACK explains. Why not take out an annual subscription online, and receive Socialism Today every month?
