The Web is hell
The Web is hell ...
until you Google Workers World.
Cyberspace can be hell. Hard to find what you want on the
Internet. That's why when someone asks you where to find
something, the answer is often, "Google it."
If you want real anti-war news and analysis, if you want to
find an organization that really fights racism, battles sexism,
stands for lesbian/gay/bi/trans liberation, and looks at
everything else with a revolutionary eye, then you'll want to
find Workers World on the Web: www.workers.org.
WW, a Marxist newspaper that's been published in the United
States since 1959, has been on the Web since 1995. And if you
use Google you'll find that it is one of the most popular sites
on the Internet for news with an anti-capitalist perspective.
You'll find that WW has been around a long time and has solid
anti-war experience to back up what it is saying and doing.
Unlike some publications on the Web that only offer samples
or charge fees to read current or past articles, every issue of
Workers World newspaper can be read in its entirety--for free.
That's free as in freedom. WW is an open content publication
that can be freely shared by everyone. (Of course, it still
costs money to keep up the Web site. The site is kept free by
all the donations we get from our readers and supporters. It's
easy to become a supporter online at www.workers.org/orders/.)
There's a regular Web version of WW online, with hyperlinks
and all the other stuff you'd expect to find on a Web edition
of a newspaper. Or you can download the entire paper in PDF
format and not only read the stories but also see all the
photos of struggles happening across the United States and
around the world. Some Workers World photos and photographers
have won awards here and internationally, so it can definitely
be worthwhile to see the whole paper, if you have a high-speed
connection for the download.
Or better yet, buy a subscription and get a printed copy
every week in the mail.
As for Google, well, it's great. But if you want to find
socialist news, you'll do even better on the WW Web site, where
there is a fast search engine that goes through five years of
Workers World's archives so you can find the background story
to what is happening today.
Read Workers World on the Web. You'll thank yourself for
doing it.
