BUFFALO, N.Y.
'Solidarity key to battling capitalism'
Workers World Managing Editor Leslie Feinberg
spoke to a full house at Unity Church in Buffalo, N.Y., on
April 3 about how solidarity against all forms of oppression is
critical in order to wage a successful struggle against
capitalism.
The multinational and multi-generational audience at the
Workers World Party-sponsored forum included gay and straight
folks from Buffalo neighborhoods, including Lackawanna where
the working-class Yemeni community has been targeted by the
Bush administration's "war on terror."
Feinberg urged all those gathered--many of whom are active
in anti-war, anti-globalization and anti-police abuse and
racism struggles, and the lesbian/ gay/ bi/trans and student
movements--to open up discussions on the successes and problems
of revolutions that have attempted to end capitalism. This will
help to both defend the existing workers' states and to
strengthen the overall revolutionary movement to build a
communist future.
The audience responded to the even ing's message with a
prolonged standing ovation.
After a report on upcoming May 17 solidarity actions for
same-sex marriage rights and against all forms of
discrimination, bigotry and racism, more than a quarter of
those in attendance signed up to work on a plan for a local
action that day.
