天下大势，合久必分，分久必合？
苏格兰被英格兰合并（吞并）三百周年纪念日。
欧洲几百上千年的久分，过去几十年的渐合。苏格兰与英格兰三百年的久和，现在的渐分？
Excerpts from http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch04.htm
The famous final phrase of the Manifesto, “Working Men of All Countries, Unite!”, in the original German is: “Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch!” Thus, a more correct translation would be “Proletarians of all countries, Unite!”
The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.
Working Men of All Countries, Unite!
“Workers of the World, Unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains!” is a popularisation of the last three sentences, and is not found in any official translation. Since this English translation was approved by Engels, we have kept the original intact.
资产阶级已率先联合起来，全球化（当年帝国主义夹着尾巴逃跑了，如今帝国主义夹着皮包回来了），无产阶级（工人阶级）应该奋起直追。

UK and US unions in merger talks
Amicus, a major union in the UK, is to discuss a possible merger with another union based in the US and Canada.
If agreed, it would bring another 1.2m members to Amicus, creating one of the biggest unions in the world with more than 3m members.
Amicus General Secretary Derek Simpson is due to meet officials from United Steel Workers in about a fortnight.
The BBC’s Stephen Cape said it was the first time such an international merger has been mooted.
Pay strikes
He said it was a reflection of the changing world, where union influence was in decline yet there was a growing need to fight global companies.
Although there are different labour laws in other countries, a super union could put pressure on companies and their managers, he added.
On some issues, for example pay, it would be possible to co-ordinate strikes at a company with plants in Britain and America.
Amicus is already set to expand next month when it merges with the Transport and General Workers Union (T&G), making it the country’s biggest union.
Previously, Mr Simpson has spoken of creating “a single global trade union movement capable of challenging the might of multinationals”.
