We democratic socialists will " socialize " Brown University's Rockefeller Library in the near future

Letter: Laura Marie Marciano: Symbolic and literal gatekeeping at Brown University
 Laura's heart is in the right place here. In her mind the vignette at the Rockefeller Library could have sparked a Proustian memory of the segregation era in the Deep South 50 years ago: " What , not at MY Brown University ! " There is no white supremacy in the America of 2017. There is no " white privilege ".

 There IS obscene CLASS inequality. Capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY locks out the working class majority of ALL races and ethnic groups from decent homes, hospitals, " nice " neighborhoods, locks them out of the HAPPY FUTURE. 

The ruling class offers them the consolation of the Megabucks State Lottery ! 

What keeps the homeless people in the street ? Their race ? No, it is PRIVATE PROPERTY - KEEP OUT. 

Walking around downtown in the Kennedy Plaza area I am greeted by NO PUBLIC RESTROOM signs-no matter what my bladder is saying. 

Democratic Socialism will check capitalist private property rights. It will in the near future " socialize " Brown's Rockefeller Library.
