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.
