This article is a contribution to the discussion of Lenin's thought, on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of his birth. The subject is one which can be appropriately treated by a British Marxist, since the concept of an "aristocracy of labor" is one which Lenin clearly derived from the history of British nineteenth-century capitalism. His concrete references to the "aristocracy of labor" as a stratum of the working class appear to be exclusively drawn from Britain (though in his study notes on imperialism he also remarks upon similar phenomena in the "white" parts of the British Empire). The term itself is almost certainly derived from a passage by Engels written in 1885 and reprinted in the introduction to the 1892 edition of The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844 which speaks of the great English trade unions as forming "an aristocracy among the working class.".

Presents the text of an interview with Eric Hobsbawm, author of Age of Extremes. Hobsbawm describes five key developments that have occurred since 1991: 1) shift of the world's economic center from the North Atlantic to Southeast Asia; 2) the worldwide crisis of capitalism; 3) US failure to maintain a solo world hegemony; 4) emergence of a new bloc of developing countries as political entities; & 5) weakening of the authority of national states. Hobsbawm discusses the "lunacy" of the neocons project; the surprising re-emergence of piracy; & the ascendency of China. He believes China is unlikely to experience serious political changes in the near future &contends that Barack Obama has "blown his chance" to be a great president by his insistence on staying to the right of center. Other topics discussed include the unlikelihood of a two-state solution in Palestine; progressive projects in Latin America; implications of the communications revolution; humanitarianism as a revived imperialism; & the failure of secularization to undercut religion in the US as it has elsewhere.
