Help get this paper into more hands!
By Leslie Feinberg
Whether you flip through the channels on television or thumb
through the pages of newspapers chock full of advertising, it's
all-war, all the time. The big business of media, which even in
"normal" times is inextricably tied with a thousand threads to
the military-industrial complex, now marches in lockstep to the
line of the big brass, the White House and Wall Street.
No wonder you boot up your computer to see if a new batch of
Workers World articles is waiting in your incoming email, or if
the newest issue is up on our web site at www.workers.org.
It makes all of us who donate our time and energy to work
hard on each and every issue feel proud that this newspaper
matters to you, our readers. We all know it's like a breath of
oxygen to get a revolutionary analysis of breaking events from
the point of view of the class that's struggling to emerge onto
the stage of history.
And it's so much more welcome and appreciated at a time of
great social and economic crisis. The rising anti-war current.
Battle news from the front lines against all forms of
oppression. The workers versus the deepening capitalist
recession. We offer you first-hand and documented news about
these struggles, buttressed with historical lessons and a
socialist worldview. Workers World newspaper helps illuminate
the path toward liberation.
Because we're not just reporting on society the way it is
now. We're also part of the living struggle to usher a better
world into birth.
Most people in this country have only heard socialism
defined by anti-communists. Workers World newspaper can
introduce more and more new readers to the simple concept that
the rich don't have a right to claim title to a huge chunk of
the wealth that is collectively produced every day by the vast
laboring class. All the wants, as well as needs of humanity,
could be met with the immense productive capabilities that
human labor has already created. But like the overturning of
the slave-owners and feudal kings, it will take a revolutionary
upheaval to wrest the reins of rule from the corporate and
banking class.
Workers World can help steer the course forward toward that
liberation, because we aren't just a newspaper that reports the
news, we are part of that great effort.
In that context, the newspaper becomes a collective tool to
organize and orient new ranks into the growing movement.
And that's where you come in.
You have many co-workers, fellow students, neighbors,
friends and loved ones who are striving for the truth about the
political, military and economic crises they face.
We need to extend the reach of this revolutionary newspaper.
And you play a key role.

Let's build the circulation of this newspaper. Every new
subscriber is one more informed person who will be better able
to resist the war machine and the rightward turn that Bush and
Company are forcing on this country.
