This is capitalism. 22,000 children die every day from preventable disease and hunger.

The organizers of this blog believe that you cannot have capitalism without mass hunger. This is one of the reasons we are against capitalism and for international democratic socialism. Some statistics came out recently which show what the so called liberals in the capitalist regime of Obama have been up to. More capitalism as we have been saying. The New York Times (Sunday September 19th, 2010) reports that this year the Obama regime will spend at least $100 billion on their war in Afghanistan and at most $10 billion for 800 million African people. Capitalism is a vicious and savage and cruel system. It has forfeited the right to exist. It must be overthrown.

Although i agree that capitalism has to be replaced, the language we should use in public, shouldn't be the same language we use among each other!

Hi Nadim, good to hear from you. I assume you're talking about the term "overthrown." While I agree that we don't use the exact same terms as we would among each other, most American workers would not have a problem with these terms I don't think.

There is a tendency for some on the left to speak one way to the working class and in the Unions and then use all the revolutionary sounding rhetoric in private, proletariat this and imperialism that.

But that doesn't mean that the working class is not open to more direct reference to regime change or the transformation of society. There would just be a fair amount of doubt it could occur or other questions.

A recent poll here in the US found that some 36% of Americans are favorable to socialism.

It is great to read such a passionate outcry about world hunger. We grow more than enough food to feed the worlds population. We could surely manage our resources better to provide people with jobs. People cannot look beyond the idea of making a profit in a lot of cases.this whole condition then informs international economic policy. This has directly caused mass devastation
