Hi everyone
Hands Off Venezuela supporters may be interested to attend a talk on
Tuesday (7th) by author Helen Yaffe on her book: “Che Guevara - The
Economics of Revolution. Even more relevant considering that Che’s ‘new
man’ theory is subtly imbedded in parts of Venezuela’s 1999 constitution.
This event is organised by Rock Around The Blockade and takes place
Tuesday 7 April at Bolivar Hall, 54 Grafton Way from 7.30pm. Full details:

Meanwhile, President Chavez has stressed that the G20 summit failed to
address the real reason behind the global meltdown – capitalism
(http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=90388§ionid=351020704), and
Venezuela has supported the creation of a new global currency
(http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/news/4342).
In Venezuela, or rather possibly not, opposition leader Manuel Rosales has
gone into hiding to avoid facing corruption charges
(http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/news/4345).
And a reminder that starting 14th April the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra
of Venezuela will be in residency at London’s Southbank Centre. There are
five concerts (all open to a free audience through live relays in the
Royal Festival Hall's Clore ballroom, as well as the sold-out audiences in
the hall), open rehearsals, pre-concert talks, films and symposiums from
what some have called possibly the most important social institution in
the world today.

Hi there Derek
I've misplaced your email address, so I hope you don't mind me leaving this here.
I'm writing to you inviting you to take part in the Carnival of Socialism. The Carnival has been bringing a fortnightly round up of everything that's going on in the global socialist blogosphere for the last three years, and draws from a wide and eclectic mix of blogs. It has had the added bonus of helping the blogging left become a more cohesive and welcoming place, as well as delivering more audiences to the blogs that have already taken part.
But the Carnival needs your help. We are looking to expand the number of volunteers beyond a core group of 'usual suspects'. Previous Carnivals are located on its dedicated blog at http://carnivalofsocialism.blogspot.com to give you an idea of what hosting a carnival entails. We have sessions booked up until 26th April but need volunteers for dates after then.
If you would like to sign up for a Carnival, know someone who might, or have any other questions about it please drop me a line at philbc03 at yahoo.com
Socialist Greetings,
Phil BC (A Very Public Sociologist)
