Revolution: Is 1848 Repeating Itself in the Arab World?
PART I: The Dynamics of Global Capitalism
by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya
February 5, 2011

Is history repeating itself? Have the events of 1848 in Europe repeated themselves in the Arab World? Will 2011 see the same outcomes as 1848? Only the Arab people can decide. Their fate is in their hands, but they should learn from the mistakes of 1848 and seriously address the role of the capitalist class.

PART I

The European Spring of 1848 and the Arab Spring of 2011

In 1848, revolutionary fervour broke across continental Europe. The waves of revolution were set in motion in France. It did not take long before the rest of Europe was hit with a tsunami of popular uprisings and revolts. Like a domino effect, country after country would be hit by revolt. Denmark, the German States, the Italian States, Belgium, Wallachia, and the Habsburg's Austrian Empire would all be shaken by popular revolt. The bases of the European revolts were the same as those in the modern-day Arab World.

Economic disparity, abuse of workers rights, and a lack of political equality were all causes for the wave of revolutions in 1848 Europe. Industrialization and economic and technological leaps were causing major socio-economic changes in European societies before and up to 1848. While in a very different historical context, this has also been occurring in today's Arab World.

In 19th Century Europe, fundamental economic changes, characterized by the consolidation of wealth, caused massive unemployment as well as the outbreak of famines.

This has also occurred in recent years in the Arab World, largely as a result of the brunt of neo-liberal reforms and rising food prices. Anger over lack of employment, lack of opportunities, corrupt government practices, and rising bread and food prices have actually been igniting riots and protests in the Arab World, specifically those states around the Mediterranean Sea, for several years before 2011. These past riots and protests were preludes to the highly tense situations in Egypt, Tunisia, and the Arab World.


The French Revolution of 1848: Europe's Tunisia or Iran?

1848 France was ruled by the landed property class, big industry, and the banking class. It was the working class that brought about the rise of this triad (landed property, big industry, and the banking class) through the French Revolution of 1789. In turn, this triad or "big capital" would systematically disenfranchize the working class by eliminating universal suffrage.

A new residency criterion was imposed in France by King Louis-Philip I who served the interests of big capital and was appropriately called the "Bourgeoisie King." French citizens had to prove that they lived in a riding for three years. To prove residency, the French working class needed letters of authentication from their employers. Thus, the working class and an overwhelming majority of the French were disenfranchized from voting and held hostage by big capital. French workers would also migrate from one place and riding to another place and riding for employment, because of the changing economic conditions, which would also make qualification for voting impossible. Unemployment would grip France and there would be a massive surplus of labour that would be readily exploited by organized capital. These unbearable conditions would led to the French Revolution of 1848.

In the French Revolution of 1789, the working class allied itself with big capital (big industry, the banking class, and landed property), but this would change in 1848. While big capital was fighting amongst itself, the working class was becoming an ally of the petty bourgeoisie in demanding a share in governing France and directing the course of French society. The House of Orléans was overthrown and the monarchy brought to a final end with the establishment of the Second French Republic.

Yet, the working class did not secure their rights after 1848. They held briefly the seat of power. The new taxation system failed and the capitalist class retained its control, thereby neutralizing efforts for genuine socio-economic reform in France. This led up to the 1851 Paris coup that was to make Charles Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte the emperor of the Second French Empire. The other outcome, after the defeat of Emperor Bonaparte in the Franco-Prussian War, was the 1871 establishment of the short-lived French government known by historians as the "Paris Commune." [1] Under the Paris Commune and its mixed socialist and anarchist government, France became history's first socialist republic, more than seventy years before the establishment of the Soviet Union. Under the Prussian occupation of France, the Paris Commune was ultimately crushed by an agreement and strategic understanding reached between the Germans and French organized capital.

What lessons can be learned from 1848?

The French Revolution of 1848 illustrates how capital can manipulate the desires of the working class and mainstream society. It also illustrates that the capitalist class was predominately in control of the state, despite the changes in political leadership. Finally, the outcome of 1848 in France illustrates that policies are deliberately fluctuated by organized capital as a means to lull mainstream society. In this context, history could repeat itself in the Arab World.

Britain Spearheads "Mini-NATO" In Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea
Rick Rozoff

On January 19 and 20 British Prime Minister David Cameron hosted his counterparts from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania at the first Nordic Baltic Summit to consolidate an "alliance of common interests."

Cameron's initiative followed by two months a two-day meeting of Nordic-Baltic defense ministers in Norway with the defense chiefs of the same nine nations that participated in the London gathering along with defense representatives from Germany and Poland.

A Russian commentary on the day of the opening of the Nordic Baltic Summit in the United Kingdom stated:

"Europeans have decided to watch the Russians in the Arctic and how they behave there closely. The idea of creating an Arctic 'mini-NATO' was discussed at the [Nordic Baltic] Summit in London on Wednesday. According to analysts, the heightened activity of North Europe is explained by an increased interest in the Arctic and its natural resources."

In addition to economic and energy issues, "experts insist that British Prime Minister David Cameron will discuss with his counterparts a draft agreement on the foundation of a new military alliance."

The author of the piece argued that as part of a Nordic-Baltic military structure stretching from the Barents to the Norwegian to the North to the Baltic Seas "a Scandinavian mini-NATO alliance has long been hovering in the air." [1]

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization subdivision is to include Alliance members Denmark and Norway, partners Finland and Sweden, and non-contiguous outposts Greenland (Denmark), the Faroe Islands (Denmark) and the Aland Islands (Finland).

The project for a Nordic military pact, modeled after and in the long run subordinated to NATO, was taken up in earnest by former Norwegian defense and foreign minister Thorvald Stoltenberg in 2009 and "provides for the creation of a mini-NATO for Scandinavia and the Arctic." [2] Stoltenberg's son Jens is currently Norway's prime minister.

The Stoltenberg report of 2009, whose formal name is "Nordic Co-operation on foreign and security policy," focused on "13 areas of potential closer co-operation in the Nordic region, such as peace-building, air-policing and maritime monitoring, security in the High North, cyber-security, co-operation between foreign services and defence." [3] More specifically, it called for "creating a military and civilian taskforce for unstable regions; a joint amphibious unit; a disaster-response unit; a coastguard-level maritime response force; joint cyber-defence systems; joint air, maritime and satellite surveillance; co-operation on Arctic governance; and a war crimes investigation unit." [4]

London protest against DU weapons

The UK Uranium Weapons Network has organised a lunchtime protest outside the US Embassy in London on November 12 to mark the Day of Action.

The protest was called by the Campaign Against Depleted Uranium, the UK Uranium Weapons Network and the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons (ICBUW) to mark the International Day of Action Against Uranium Weapons on November 6th.

While the US has used at least 400 tons of depleted uranium munitions in Iraq during the conflicts between 1991 and 2003, they continue to refuse to release data on where the weapons were used, blocking research into their health impact and preventing decontamination and risk reduction programmes.

The US, along with France and the UK, voted against a UN resolution calling for states to release this data, earlier this month, regardless of the fact that the UK had already done so for the DU used in Iraq in 2003.

Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) submitted a motion, on November 4, calling on the UK government to abstain or vote in favour of the resolution.

Members of Parliament from the three largest UK political parties submitted an Early Day Motion (EDM), on October 14, calling on the UK government to support a resolution calling for transparency from DU users tabled at the UN.

The United Nations First Committee voted by an overwhelming margin, on October 29, for state users of depleted uranium weapons to release data on where the weapons were used to governments of states affected by their use.

The UK Uranium Weapons Network members consist of the Campaign Against Depleted Uranium, the Campaign Against the Arms Trade, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the Environmental Justice Foundation, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, MEDACT, the Muslim Council of Britain, Pax Christi, People & Planet, Quaker Peace & Social Witness and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.

NATO Wants To Increase Cooperation With South Korea, Non-Members

-Speaking of cooperation, Brengelmann noted NATO's show of support for South Korea in light of the sinking of its warship Cheonan....The diplomat said some NATO members also serve on the U.N. Security Council and that the NATO members will try to ensure any Security Council action on the Cheonan sinking will represent their views expressed in the NATO statement.


SEOUL: The world's biggest military alliance, NATO, is looking to increase cooperation with South Korea and other partners beyond Europe and North America to meet global challenges such as proliferation and piracy, a senior NATO official said Tuesday.

"Our security interests and security interests of countries like Korea coincide today more than ever," Dirk Brengelmann, NATO's assistant secretary general for political affairs and security policy, said in an interview with Yonhap News Agency.
....

Brengelmann was to wrap up his two-day stay in Seoul later Tuesday following the third annual policy consultation talks between South Korea and NATO. Brengelmann's NATO delegation will also visit Japan and China for similar policy talks.

The German diplomat, who had served in missions in Haiti and Britain before being appointed to his current post in March this year, pointed to South Korea's reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan as an example of cooperation. Seoul has joined NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in the war-ravaged nation.

"We share interest when it comes to sound security policy," Brengelmann said, noting that it was "a happy coincidence" that he was in Seoul only a few days after South Korea launched its Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Afghanistan.

The official lauded South Korea for taking a "comprehensive approach" to its Afghanistan efforts by sending troops and police forces along with civilian reconstruction workers.
....
"The Korean PRT is a good example of what we call the 'civ-mil (civilian-military) comprehensive approach' in trying to make sure that your military efforts are being complemented by other sides," he added.

Speaking of cooperation, Brengelmann noted NATO's show of support for South Korea in light of the sinking of its warship Cheonan.

On May 20, when a Seoul-led multinational probe blamed North Korea for the March 26 sinking that left 46 sailors dead, a NATO statement said it "strongly condemns the North Korean actions" that led to the sinking. The statement also argued the North's action constituted "a clear breach of international law."

The diplomat said some NATO members also serve on the U.N. Security Council and that the NATO members will try to ensure any Security Council action on the Cheonan sinking will represent their views expressed in the NATO statement.

Seoul referred the Cheonan sinking to the Security Council on June 4, hoping to censure Pyongyang for the alleged attack.

Debates have emerged as to whether South Korea should pursue a binding resolution rather than a presidential statement, but Brengelmann opined that the format is less important than the content.

"Normally, a U.N. Security Council resolution is the stronger of the two, but the presidential statement has its values," Bregelmann said, echoing the sentiment often expressed by South Korean diplomats.

"I wouldn't put too much emphasis on that. I'd rather go for the content in either one, and look for the content, but not so much on the format of the statement."

Text Fwd: Probe Into Foreign Defense Firms Widening

Probe Into Foreign Defense Firms Widening:
British Company Becomes Second Target of Investigation After Saab
By Jung Sung-ki
Staff Reporter

An investigation into bribery cases allegedly involving foreign defense firms may widen as more evidence of illegal lobbying activities by foreign companies has emerged, a military source said Tuesday.

The move comes as the Defense Security Command (DSC) is conducting a probe into Saab, a Swedish defense and aerospace company, which is suspected of having offered bribes to the president of an advisory defense think tank at the National Assembly.

During an analysis of materials confiscated from the Security Management Institute (SMI), new evidence has emerged that another foreign defense firm allegedly gave bribes to the institute, the source told The Korea Times, asking not to be named.

He declined to identify the other foreign company concerned, but other sources said it is believed to be a U.K.-based multinational defense manufacturer.

``Investigators are still analyzing confiscated goods and will summon related officials, if necessary,'' the source said.

DSC commander Lt. Gen. Kim Jong-tae said during a parliamentary audit of the administration later Tuesday that his command was investigating six suspects and secured four witnesses.

``Our command began this investigation earlier this year when we secured evidence that classified information on the KF-X program was being leaked to the Swedish firm,'' Kim said. ``Suspects will be summoned from Thursday for questioning.''

Completion of the investigation is scheduled for late this month, he added.

The DSC is probing the case in cooperation with the Seoul Prosecutors' Office and the National Intelligence Service, the source said.

Under the authorization of the prosecution, the command raided Saab's branch office here and SMI headquarters in southern Seoul to seize documents and computer files in a bid to uncover their alleged connection.

Prosecutors traced the bank accounts of officials from Saab and SMI.

The source privy to the investigation said Saab was suspected of having offered 300 million won to 500 million won to the SMI president, a former head of the state-funded Korea Institute for Defense Analyses, to receive classified information on a national fighter development project codenamed KF-X.

Observers say the ongoing intensive probe of major foreign defense companies is in line with President Lee Myung-bak's push to eradicate irregularities in huge arms deals.

In August, Lee was quoted as saying that he believes that about 20 percent of the defense budget could be saved annually if military authorities don't receive ``rebate payments'' in weapons deals.

He called for general defense-spending reductions amid the economic downturn.

Cheong Wa Dae later cut next year's budget proposal submitted by the Ministry of National Defense to a 3.8 percent increase from last year. The ministry had originally proposed a 7.9 percent increase.

``The probe of Saab seems to be the beginning of a wider investigation into illegal lobbying activities by foreign firms and their agencies,'' a defense expert said. ``Depending on the results of the ongoing investigation, many arms acquisition projects, including the KF-X program, could be affected.''

The KF-X project, aimed at creating an indigenous combat aircraft in partnership with a foreign aircraft giant to replace the Air Force's older F-4s and F-5s, has drawn proposals from major Western fighter houses.

Saab has been among the most active bidders by offering a new design for a super-cruising stealth fighter. It also asked South Korea to join its Gripen next-generation program to forge a broader fighter development partnership.

Other foreign manufactures that have shown interest in the KF-X include Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Eurofighter. The KF-X has been controversial, however, since many defense analysts see it as unviable economically and technically.

The Weapon Systems Concept Development and Application Research Center of Konkuk University commissioned by the government to examine the feasibility of the KF-X is known to suggest lower operational requirements for the new fighter jet.

In its interim report revealed earlier this year, the center recommended a plan to produce about 250 F-16-class fighters after 2010 with the help of foreign firms.

The center asked foreign firms about their views on the per-plane cost estimate of $50 million, as well as budget-sharing ideas and technology transfer.

In a 2007 feasibility study by a local economic policy think tank, the KF-X project was assessed as unsound economically as it would cost at least $10 billion, but would reap only $3 billion in economic benefits.

Text Fwd: National Reconnaissance Office’s domestic ground stations

* Image Source/description: same as below
'The NRO operates a number of ground stations, including this one in the UK, that until recently it would not even acknowledge existed.'

National Reconnaissance Office’s domestic ground stations Look! Up in the air! No, down on the ground! The NRO’s domestic ground stations by Dwayne Day Monday, June 1, 2009

In the 1950s, when the United States began developing its first reconnaissance satellite, Air Force planners and Lockheed engineers faced numerous technological challenges. What they wanted was a satellite that took pictures over the Soviet Union, developed the film onboard the satellite, scanned it with a device similar to a fax machine, and then beamed the imagery to the ground. Because of security concerns, they decided to only beam the signals to the ground inside the continental United States, and so they began planning for three ground stations—one in the northwest, one in the northeast, and one in the middle of the country, at Strategic Air Command Headquarters near Omaha, Nebraska.

According to an October 23, 2008 note from the NRO’s Director of Security and Counterintelligence, the “fact of” the NRO’s operation of three “Mission Ground Stations” could be acknowledged “as an unclassified fact.”

The plan ultimately did not work. As anybody who has tried to e-mail high-resolution scanned photos knows, photographs are full of data and suck up bandwidth. As the early reconnaissance satellite program went forward, it soon became apparent that each satellite could beam no more than two to thee dozen photographs to the ground each day, half of them obscured by clouds—nowhere near what was necessary to cover the Soviet landmass. The limitations were the narrow bandwidth then available from radio, the short amount of time that a satellite would actually be in range of a ground station, and the small number of ground stations. So they abandoned this approach in favor of satellites that returned massive numbers of pictures to the ground on film—like getting an encyclopedia via snail mail instead of e-mail.

Two decades later the techno-spooks solved these problems. They did so in a variety of ways, including using higher frequencies (hence more bandwidth), data compression, and most important of all, the use of relay satellites in higher orbits. The imaging spacecraft in its low orbit could take its pictures and beam them up to a higher satellite that then beamed it to the ground, thus increasing the amount of time that a satellite could transmit its imagery.

Of course the ground station segment was still important and for security reasons the National Reconnaissance Office, the agency that operated the satellites—and the ground stations—kept its association with various satellite control stations both in the United States and around the world secret, even after the NRO became public in the early 1990s. That has now changed, slightly.

Last October, with little fanfare, the NRO declassified the fact that it operates three ground stations within the United States, located near Washington, DC; Denver, Colorado; and Las Cruces, New Mexico. Although they declassified that fact, it has not become public until now. A source recently provided a declassified memo that outlines the declassification of these facilities. (You can download it here.)

According to an October 23, 2008 note from the NRO’s Director of Security and Counterintelligence, the “fact of” the NRO’s operation of three “Mission Ground Stations” could be acknowledged “as an unclassified fact.” However, the security director cautioned that “program specific information and associations will remain unclassified and unchanged.” In other words, nobody will tell you what goes on at these stations. The NRO also revealed its “presence” at the Royal Air Force Facility Menwith Hill, near Harrogate in the United Kingdom, and the Pine Gap facility near Alice Springs, Australia.

What exactly prompted the declassification of the “fact of” these facilities remains unknown. But it undoubtedly had something to do with making them more accessible to more civilian and military personnel.

Of course, these are not really stunning revelations. The use of these facilities as downlinks for intelligence data collected by American satellites has been reported for decades, and has appeared in such books as William Burrows’ Deep Black (1987) and Jeffrey Richelson’s America’s Secret Eyes in Space (1990). During the 1980s, Menwith Hill, whose large white domes dominate the picturesque English countryside like some alien mushroom field, served as the site of numerous protests by Britain’s nuclear disarmament movement. The Las Cruces site is collocated with NASA’s Tracking Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) ground station on the White Sands Missile Range. TDRSS has long included “national security customers” in its operations. The NRO also operates its own fleet of data-relay satellites in both geosynchronous and highly-inclined orbits. The White Sands site grew significantly in recent years and has a lot of parking spaces outside its buildings.

What exactly prompted the declassification of the “fact of” these facilities remains unknown. But it undoubtedly had something to do with making them more accessible to more civilian and military personnel, probably those involved in aspects of homeland security. That was illustrated last July when the NRO also declassified the “fact of” its operation of radar satellites, something that had also been known for two decades. For quite a few years now the US military has been seeking to develop a new class of radar satellites to detect moving targets like tanks and trucks on the ground—as opposed to the NRO’s satellites, which essentially take radar images of small areas. Problems arose because the NRO did not even admit that it operated such satellites. Everybody involved in discussions over developing a new series of such satellites had to obtain a special security clearance simply to talk to somebody from NRO, even if the NRO systems’ technical details were not going to be discussed. Secrecy got in the way of progress at developing military capabilities.

The NRO will now acknowledge that it operates, or has a “presence” at, these ground facilities. Maybe they will even put a sign up on their gate. But don’t bother knocking at the door; they won’t let you in.

London: Anarchists Call for G20 Action
B31416 / Sun, 8 Mar 2009 11:27:27 /
International Statement issued by LONDON ANARCHISTS:
THE SUMMER OF RAGE STARTS HERE!
G20 London Summit:

A rebellious call for days of action March 28th – April 2nd 2009
MARCH 28/09 //
MILITANT WORKERS: DIRECT ACTION BLOC
‘Put People First’ Anti-G20 demonstration, 11am Central London

As the financial crisis has spurred a global economic recession the reality of the situation is being faced by us all – price hikes and wage cuts, job losses, spiralling debt and repossessions. The institutions of government and global finance are making us pay for their mistakes, giving themselves hefty bonuses for the privilege. As big banks get billions of our money to bail them out, the Post Office is threatened with privatisation and mass redundancies to claw back the pension hole!

Government and bosses, while protecting their own interests, are steadily losing their grip as the anger of the working class becomes more and more apparent after a decade of enforced ’social peace’.

Putting working class anger first

The recent wildcat strikes at the Lindsay Oil Refinery saw workers take action for themselves, without union backing. Thousands of workers across the country walked out in sympathy strikes – a practice still outlawed under the Thatcherite anti-trade union laws. No repercussions were suffered by the workers – a lesson to us all. And although we oppose such slogans as “British Jobs for British Workers”, we do not dismiss the experiences, anger and positive action of those workers to develop a pro-working class position, based not on capitalism’s demands for inter-worker competition, but on international class solidarity.

If we want social change we must fight without prejudice for it.

Solidarity is not a word but a weapon

Our purpose is to put direct action at the core of any fightback – against the repossessions and redundancies that we will face over the coming months and years, to restate our commitment for an international unity amongst all working class people regardless of nationality, race, sexuality or religion. We stand shoulder to shoulder with all those who take direct action against their current situation (against the state and its institutions, against the bosses and the capitalism they cling to), and confront those who seek to hinder or recuperate that action – fascist parties like the BNP, government forces, the trade union elite and the corporate media. The memory of the miners strike, Wapping, Poll tax lingers long and hard. 2009 is our summer of rage – we are only as strong as the power we give ourselves. Join the direct action bloc on the Put People First mass demonstration on Saturday March 28th. Meet in Victoria Embankment Gardens, 11am. Look for the red and black flags.

APRIL 1/09 // RECLAIM THE MONEY Meet in the Square Mile (London’s Financial centre) to take back what’s ours

World leaders, including Barak Obama, are set to meet at Docklands Excel Centre in London’s East End, for the G20 financial summit on April 2nd, to sort out the global crisis they themselves conspired to create. While unemployment escalates along with debt and poverty – we are told to tighten our belts, not to complain, to have faith in bankers, bosses and politicians, these leaders are preparing the biggest shake up in the history of capitalism since the 1930s. We can only imagine what is on offer as their solution – from the people that brought us wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine, from the heads of economies that continue to concentrate the world’s wealth in the hands of a tiny minority from the obscene rich and powerful who continue to steal the products of our labour and time, forcing us to fight amongst ourselves for what’s left. We are living in uncertain, dangerous times, where we can either allow our futures, and the future of our children, to be decided by the same class of people that have brought us into this crisis (and continue to profit from our misery) or we can decide to get rid of the lot of them and organise society differently – for our own benefit and of the benefit of those around us; those we work with, those we live with, for a future based on our collective needs.

We are their crisis

Let’s make this a chance for a fundamental change in society. Let’s reclaim the history of working class struggle for a new free world, for a global human community fit for all, not the undeserving rich elite who are happy to see our lives ruined if it means that they stay in charge and at the top. Join thousands of disgruntled, angry, pissed off people on the streets of the financial district. As the bankers continue to cream off billions of pounds of our money let’s put the call out – RECLAIM THE MONEY, storm the banks and send them packing. April 1st in the square mile, City of London financial district.

APRIL 2/09 // G20 London Summit, Excel Centre, Docklands A day of fucking up the summit and other adventures. Be warned. Be aware. Be ready!

London Anarchists
