-Lucy Parsons As the economic and social contradictions of the corporate controlled U.S. political system deepen, the terrible pain of everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people is, and will continue, to concomitantly increase. Even so, there are those so-called ‘progressives’ and/or ‘leftists’ who are making a comfortable living from the very pain of…

Thus, as difficult and challenging as it most certainly is, we must link our concerns and issues together.
