Daan Monjé
Daniël "Daan" Monjé (24 October 1925 – 1 October 1986) was a Dutch politician and activist. Monjé, a pipefitter by profession in the port of Rotterdam, was co-founder of both the Socialist Party and its direct predecessor, the Communist Unity Movement of the Netherlands (Marxist–Leninist) (KEN-ML). Monjé was expelled from the Communist Party of the Netherlands (CPN) together with his '' kameraad'' Nico Schrevel in 1966 because of overt sympathy for Mao. Monjé and Schrevel had by then founded the Marxist-Leninist Center (MLC) in Rotterdam, renamed the Marxist-Leninist Center in the Netherlands (MLCN) in 1965. With these, they tried to influence the CPN and individual members of that party from outside to opt for Maoism. From 1967, the course to influence the CPN was abandoned and attention was directed towards the formation of a distinct political party. This became the KEN, founded in 1970. In 1971, the paths of Schrevel and Monjé split after an ideological disag ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Socialist Alternative Politics
The Socialist Alternative Politics (Dutch: ''Socialistische Alternatieve Politiek,'' or SAP) is a Trotskyist political group in the Netherlands without parliamentary representation. History Early roots of the SAP The SAP traces back its roots to the beginning of the Trotskyist movement in the Netherlands. In 1945 the Revolutionary Communist Party was founded as the Dutch member of the Fourth International. However the party was unsuccessful as an independent party and was disbanded in 1952. The former RCP members opted for an entryist tactic in the PvdA. They formed the Social Democratic Centre (SDC) as an internal pressure group to move the PvdA leftwards. However the SDC membership was expelled from the PvdA in 1959. This severely weakened the Dutch section of the Fourth International. Their entryist strategy was expanded to include other leftwing parties and organizations, mainly the Socialist Workers Party (Dutch: ''Socialistische Werkerspartij)'', the Workers' Yout ...

UK Miners' Strike (1984–85)
The miners' strike of 1984–1985 was a major industrial action within the British coal industry in an attempt to prevent colliery closures. It was led by Arthur Scargill of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) against the National Coal Board (NCB), a government agency. Opposition to the strike was led by the Conservative government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who wanted to reduce the power of the trade unions. The NUM was divided over the action and many mineworkers, especially in the Midlands, worked through the dispute. Few major trade unions supported the NUM, primarily because of the absence of a vote at national level. Violent confrontations between flying pickets and police characterised the year-long strike, which ended in a decisive victory for the Conservative government and allowed the closure of most of Britain's collieries. Many observers regard the strike as "the most bitter industrial dispute in British history". The number of person-days of work ...
