EDITOR—An in-depth examination of the rapidly exploding problem of homelessness in the US, a disturbing sign of its social, economic, and political disintegration, and the fact that the state, more than ever in the hands of the super rich, from the Supreme Court to municipal and state governments, is making homelessness a crime, and triggering divisions in the working class, instead of seeking perfectly viable solutions to this iconic problem of capitalist societies. Homelessness has clear causes, notes Sabby, ridiculously low incomes for many workers, for example, and the solution is in building more shelters and adequate housing for the working class, as well as health support systems, not unleashing more police harassment and jail on such people.

RAINER SHEA—The book makes it apparent that the solution isn’t to simply restore the original Marcyism, because Marcyism’s strategy was always flawed. As the book recounts, during the 80s the Marcyists would argue against capitalism by uniformly calling the capitalist state’s policies “racist.” Which they weren’t wrong about, but the effect this had was to reduce capitalism to race. It was a way of signaling that liberals could find a friend in the WWP, which evidently didn’t bring WWP to success. It couldn’t rebuild U.S. communism following its crippling by McCarthyism, and its next big defeat with the destruction of the Black Panther Party.

ERIC ZUESSE—Perhaps the neoconservatives will say that this is Russian propaganda, or Chinese propaganda, or Iranian propaganda, or by some other country that neoconservatives hope to conquer, but they won’t be able to contest any of this by the numbers, because all of these numbers come from the U.S. Government itself. The actual propagandists are the neocons themselves, and they are funded by U.S. billionaires, who have been profiting from all of this.

TELESUR—On Wednesday June 26, hundreds of members of the Bolivian Armed Forces had mobilized under the order of General Juan Zúñiga in the center of La Paz and surrounded the Quemado Palace, attempting to stage a coup d’état. Their attempt was quickly diffused by a combination of the swift response from Bolivian President Luis Arce to replace the leadership of the military, an immediate and unanimous condemnation by the international community, and most importantly, the overwhelming mobilization of the Bolivian people to the center of La Paz to defend their democracy.
