The Left’s recent electoral victories have generated enthusiasm among young people, helping move them “from protest to politics.” But social transformation will require building a much deeper base beyond the election cycle, starting with organized labor.

The Rising Left Can’t Ignore Labor’s Ongoing Crisis
Working people in America are facing a crisis of living standards, Sam Gindin argues, but this has not translated into a crisis for the capitalist system. To challenge ruling class power, the Left still needs to sink deeper roots into the labor movement.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.
