February SA Newspaper is Out!


The February edition of the Socialist Action newspaper is out and it is (always) worth a read.

Why?

First: You are able to read the revolutionary socialist perspective on issues of today that matter to you. The corporate owned and controlled media will give you the Democrats vs Republican debate. They might get into liberal vs conservative. But it's still two sides of the same coin. (I mis typed “con” there. It was probably more appropriate.)

Second: The various branches publish their activities and actions in the paper. It's good to hear the accomplishments of other socialists and what they are doing.

Third: It's written by people like you and me. Look in the mirror. That's who's writing it. Not some paid professional that is just interested in “reporting the facts” and has to get what they put together by an editor. (Yes, we have an editor. He's pretty cool and helpful in writing.) That and they have how many different articles flying around in their head and they have about as much commitment to the story as… (OK. I've seen some really good stories by journalists covering personal topics and they get allowed to be passionate about it for good reason. A reporter's personal struggle with cancer or some other deadly illness, etc. That's the exception though. The rule is dispassionate. Give me a story with fire any day.)

This month we report on:

  • The Climate Movement – Paris was a failure. What next?
  • Reproductive Rights – Planned Parenthood fights back & wins.
  • Flint- The water war on the poor.
  • Labor News from around the nation.
  • Government Spying
  • The (continuing US imposed) Haitian Crisis – Election Fraud
  • State Budget Issues
  • The Presidential Debates – Third Party Perspectives (Note the plural)
  • The Friedrichs case – An update on the war on unions

I am interested in the Presidential debates because it is a series of articles written by the different Socialist and left wing parties (Green Party and candidate Bernie Sanders included).

I have never read an article or statement from another party in any of the various socialist party publications that I read on-line. Here we are letting them speak for themselves. The articles are from a debate that Socialist Action sponsored in Oakland, CA and I'm hoping that there will be a video on-line soon.

I'm not going to get any of this in the Buffalo News or other local publications. I'm only going to get this from a socialist newspaper.

Give it a shot – subscribe today. There is a 6 month option and if you like it, opt in for longer.
