Letter: In response to "Democrats and Socialism | Letters to the Editor | tucson.com – Arizona Daily Star

Socialism and Communism are not the same thing.They are diametrically opposed.North Korea,China and Cuba are Communist countries.Sweden, Switzerland,Norway and Portugal practice Socialism.Socialism is more democratic than what we have here in U.S.A which is a Republic. In Norway and Sweden and Switzerland they do not use voter suppression to win an election.They do not have courts that take away a person's rights or try to overturn a fair and fair eletion.

It was Republicans that tried to overturn an election by rioting at our nation's capitol and by trying to use electors. my responce to this person is to take a basic course in Gov't 101

Islam in China must be ‘Chinese in orientation,’ adhere to socialism, Xi Jinping says in Xinjiang visit – Yahoo News

The Chinese government is pushing efforts to ensure that religious groups in China adhere to the socialist principles of the ruling Communist Party.

President Xi Jinping reportedly gave the directive to officials during his recent four-day visit to Chinas Xinjiang region, which concluded on Saturday.

According to state-run Xinhua News Agency, Xi urged local officials to make "enhanced efforts" to "uphold the principle that Islam in China must be Chinese in orientation, and to adapt religions to a socialist society."

Xi highlighted the importance of religious followers staying closely united with the Communist Party and the government.

China, a country with ethnic unity, is invincible and will have a bright future, and our Second Centenary Goal is bound to be achieved and so is the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Xi was quoted as saying.

He also stressed strengthening different ethnic groups identification with Chinese culture, the nation and the Communist Party through education and guidance.

"We have formulated ethnic theories and policies characterized by ethnic equality and unity, regional ethnic autonomy, and shared development and prosperity, so that all ethnic groups have enjoyed equality, unity and progress in real sense under the socialist system," the Chinese president was quoted as saying.

Xi dubbed Xinjiang a core area and a hub in Chinas development program, which consists of building ports, railways and power stations meant to connect the country to Central Asia and Eastern Europe nations.

Xis Xinjiang visit came amid heavy criticism from the U.S. and several European countries that oppose Chinas oppression of the Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in the region.

Story continues

China has maintained that the rights of its citizens, including those of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, are protected.

However, in the last several years, Chinese security forces have been accused of aggressively quelling protests by Uyghur Muslims over settlements from Han Chinese originating outside the province.

In May, leaked confidential documents purportedly showed new information about the detainment of the Uyghurs, which Chinese officials have dubbed a fabrication. However, authorities maintained that the camps are about countering violent terrorism, radicalization and separatism, not about human rights or religion.

Summer strikewave: For coordinated action against the bosses! – Socialist Appeal

Trade union leaders are talking about a summer of discontent, with workers on the railways, at Royal Mail, and in the public sector moving into action. These struggles must be brought together into a mass movement against the bosses and Tories.

Alongside rising temperatures in recent weeks has been a rising tide of class struggle, with strikes spreading like wildfire.

The RMT rail strikes have breathed confidence through the entire labour movement, inspiring other workers to move into action.

As a result, union after union are now declaring their intention to ballot members and take industrial action.

Already, around 115,000 Royal Mail workers organised in the CWU have voted to strike, joining members in the telecoms industry.

Railway workers in the ASLEF and TSSA are also set to strike, on top of further RMT strike days announced for 27 July, 18 August, and 20 August.

And even formerly-privileged layers such as criminal barristers are walking out, shutting down the courts in protest against the crisis in the justice system.

PCS and NEU are already moving to ballot members over strike action. And they are likely to be joined by unions organising healthcare workers. This includes the BMA, representing doctors, who have asserted that strikes are almost certain.

With workers across the board now moving into battle, all facing the same attacks on wages, jobs, and conditions, the situation is screaming out for coordinated action.

The trade union leaders including the TUC, the umbrella organisation for the union movement must therefore begin working together to actively link these struggles, in order to present a united front against the bosses and the Tories.

This should include the call for a one-day public sector strike over the question of pay, in order to unite the movement and galvanise the entire working class.

Alongside this, union-led demonstrations should be organised in every town and city, launching a mass campaign to force a general election and boot out this rotten Tory government.

This should include demands for a sliding scale of wages, linking pay to prices; for the expropriation of the billionaires, to fund a reversal of all the cuts; and for the nationalisation of the banks and major monopolies, under workers control, in order to plan the economy along socialist lines.

This is the revolutionary alternative that the Marxists in the movement are fighting for. We urge you to join us in this struggle the struggle for socialism.

This Congress notes the Tory government is in a state of crisis, at a time when working people are experiencing a cost-of-living catastrophe.

Inflation is soaring, including rising energy bills, putting a squeeze on working people like never before. This comes on top of a decade of falling real wages and austerity.

At the same time, CEO pay has returned to pre-pandemic levels, and many companies are reporting record profits.

This Congress also notes the rise in industrial disputes that our affiliated unions are engaged in, including significant strike action being taken nationally by the RMT and CWU, amongst others.

This Congress believes that, given the generalised crisis facing the working class, coordinated action must be used across unions and industries, as part of a joint strategy to fight the bosses and Tories as a united movement.

This should include united action in the public sector over pay, starting with a one-day public-sector-wide strike. Mass demonstrations in every town and city should also be organised to coincide with this, demanding a general election in order to kick out the Tory government.

This should be linked to the fight for a socialist political programme, with an updated New Deal for Working People to include the following demands:
