These are
a few of the Turtle's favourite thing, and are crudely organised
by topic.
Anti-Globalisation
struggles, Immigration/Asylum, The
Soviet Bloc, Gender/Queer Rights,
Socialism, Religion, Theory,
and Our Comrades
As with
the rest of the People's Turtle, this is a page in permanent revolution.
But rather than build an encyclopaedia of struggle, the Turtle has
selected the finest, wisest, and occasionally most frivolous, sites
of struggle.
We're always
hunting for new links, so please send
in your recommendations for review by the democratically centralised
editorial troupe.
Anti-Globalisation
Struggles
Here, we
celebrate a few of our favourite groups from the Global Justice movement,
AKA the anti-globalisation, anti-capitalist, trouble-making, rabble-rousing
activist ensemble.
Primus
inter pares in the global justice world, while the World Social
Forum was still a twinkle in a French Trotskyist's eye, The
People's Global Action formed a network to fight the predations
of the WTO, and mobilise for alternatives. They're still going strong,
and worth a looksee.
That one of the co-editors used to work for Food
First influences our approval of this fine organisation only a
little. They're in the good books of many other movements of which
the Turtle approves, including Via
Campesina and the MST.
Trotskyism,
bless, sometimes works. The good folk from Attac
have done some excellent work in Europe, pulling together a wide coalition
of folk around the very concrete Tobin Tax policy. They've also been
instrumental in getting the World
Social Forum on its feet, together with the Brazilian Worker's
Party. And some sympathetic comrades are doing fine, Francophone
work over at anticapitalisme.org
In the slightly
more frivolous category, we place the fine, but occasionally nationalist
Third
World Network, the commendable Whirledbank
and Yes-Men WTO spoof sites, and,
how could we not, the site celebrating harmony between Turtles and
Teamsters, the Sea Turtle Restoration
Project
Immigration/Asylum
The
Campaign to Close Campsfield
The Soviet
Bloc
Here's a
site about Soviet
leaders.
The Legenday Tito Home Page!
Stalinism
Today! The North Korean News Service!
And why not visit the "Official"
Kazakhstan?
Gender/Queer
Resources
IGLHRC
(and, yes, it's pronounced "Iggel-hurk")
Unifem
ActUp Philadelphia
Socialism
Socialist.org
Monthly Review
Democratie
Socialiste
Religion
The
Vatican City
Theory
There's a ton of stuff at www.marxists.org.
The
Situationist International Archive
Theory.org.uk
This is
where we post links back to those sites which have been polite enough
to maintain a link to the Turtle of their own, and publicise a few
other things which we think might be worthwhile.
The
New Left Review
website goes from strength to strength.
Freezerbox
Magazine is well worth a visit, and has recently been publishing
the wise words of Turtle Stakhanovite J. Carter Wood.
Other sites
which promote the work of other Contributors to the Turtle include
the National Center for Economic and
Security Alternatives, which is the stamping ground of Joe Guinan,
the North West Labour
History Group, which chose to celebrate twenty five years of their
annual journal with a contribution from our very own Dave Renton,
and Toward
Freedom Online, which does good things, and which has been
known to publish the words of Sasha Abramsky.
Thinking
of journals, magazines and the like, look out also for the new publication,
Radical
Society, when it hits the "New Journals" shelf
of your local academic institution's library, and which the Turtle
will be perusing with care and attention.
And Underground
Focus have linked to us, and we're happy to reciprocate.
Ben Dalby
was the only writer to write for every issue of the Paper Turtle,
1993-5, so why not buy his brand new album, Symphony
of Silence?
Young
Labor Left in Australia have been enjoying the Mao of Pooh, and
we quite like their site, too.
And Signs
of the Times isn't bad.
