While capitalism goes into crisis, resulting in a rise in unemployment and more ferocious attacks on the living standard and rights of working class people, racism is on the rise. In many countries in Europe racist populist politicians and outspoken neo-fascist forces is doing what they can to direct angriness and frustration over the system that creates poverty, oppression, environmental disasters and never ending wars for their own purposes. Instead of blaming the capitalist system, they blame refugees and immigrants for the crisis.

The recent death of Augusto Pinochet marks the passing of one of the 20 th century's most ruthless tyrants. In 1973 he launched a military coup against the democratically elected Chilean government led by Salvador Allende. Claiming that Chile was under threat from so called ‘communist subversives' his military death squads proceeded to massacre thousands of socialists and trade unionists, with tens of thousands more tortured. In 1974 Pinochet declared himself president and was to remain in power until 1990, with the full support of the United States and Britain .
