Argentina's foreign debt problem, massive before the war, is now monstrous. The Guardian (June 22) reported "A large chunk of Argentina's medium-term debts fall due for repayment over the next 12 months.
"Without new loans the junta will be faced with a stark choice: ask the international banks for time to pay, or tighten the fiscal and monetary screws in a way which could provoke internal strife and revolution"
This financial crisis will surely drive the Argentine bourgeoisie to mend its bridges with the US.
Whether the Argentine working class is able orient and organise itself in time to make the threat of revolution real is another question. The best thing the British labour movement can do to help to fight against Thatcher's plans to create a 'fortress Falklands' , which could allow the Argentine military or its bourgeois civilian replacement to keep national unity for war in the forefront of politics.
