SOCIALISM is not hostile to the RIGHT TO LIFE position

The working class Left is hardly ecstatic about the FOR PROFIT abortion industry . Does not obsession with abortion " right " at least suggest a certain contempt - UNWOMANLY, UNCHRISTIAN - for the helpless child in the womb ?

               It is the rottenness and insecurity of the capitalist way of life that makes vulnerable women panic on learning that they are pregnant. Above all they need HELP first .

               SOCIALISM is certainly not hostile to the RIGHT TO LIFE position.

    USA - a growing police state



    " The United States is a deeply class-divided society, in which two political parties of the financial aristocracy do the bidding of a state apparatus of coercion and violence of almost unimaginable dimensions. "

                 I completely support the campaign of World Socialist Web Site for an Internet free from gross POLICE STATE interference.

                 Just a hint of probable POLICE STATE crackdown on the " free speech " tradition in the USA .

                    Without warning a few months ago I discovered that I was " BANNED FROM THE BROWN DAILY HERALD WEB SITE ". This is the voice of student ( ? ) opinion at Brown University . My comments in the past were the same in tone and substance as my comments here. Sometimes a comment REMOVED is justified for some legal reason or the web site's right not to have its own agenda undermined.

                    I informed the editorial page editor of the Providence Journal, Edward Achorn about this . To be brief, he was contemptuously uninterested. Soon the Providence Journal simply ended COMMENT opportunity for everybody !

             Yesterday I caught a breaking news headline on CRANSTON PATCH : the Division of Motor Vehicles computer system had been restored . I wrote ONE sentence saying that the state computers should be programmed for COMMON SENSE .

                Right away : " YOUR COMMENT HAS BEEN REMOVED AS SPAM " !



                I don't think I should be dismissed here as a paranoid " socialist " crank . By the way , I should remind Ed Achorn that the " socialist " , Bernie Sanders, WON the Democratic Primary here in April 2016.
    Of course , that is just what the ruling class fears most: any coherent, systematic, well informed criticism of " OUR way of life ".
    The World Socialist Web Site needs all the good will and support it can get .

      Yes, We Socialists have no friends in the Democratic Party or " in high places "

      [ Remember Upton Sinclair's maxim, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it"?]

          Thank you for this thoughtful comment. For most my adult life my " salary " and income made it impossible for me not to agree with quite orthodox Marxism - better known as Trotskyism today.
      In the final analysis ,the working class AS A WHOLE will choose its vanguard , honor its triumphant leaders and heroes.

                    It does help to listen to ordinary working class people frequently and their obscure but unpretentious " scholars ".

                  I was always impressed with the style and thinking of James P. Cannon. I browsed his " Speeches for Socialism " at the Warwick Campus of the Community College of Rhode Island. Is this book still being published ?

      The massacre in Gaza and imperialist war policy



      Thank you for the information on a real life anti-Zionist. I will check this out . There is one great quote by Professor Howard Zinn on Zionism which I will post later.
      Here it is : 
      : " I think the Jewish state was a mistake, yes it was probably the worst thing that the Jews could have done. What they did was join the nationalist frenzy, they became privy to all the evils that nationalism creates. 
      Jews were known as kindly, talented people. Now Israel is contributing to anti-Semitism " . [Howard Zinn, Jewish American historian ]
