The horrific scene in Las Vegas and the brutality of the Spanish state in Barcelona and the devastation in Puerto Rico are of course not related politically but they add to the general feeling that things are falling apart. The Las Vegas slaughter has nothing of course to do with the insane gun laws of the USA. It was a white man who carried out the slaughter, so it is business as usual. The thuggery of the Guardia Civil has been described as "serene" by the Spanish Prime Minister. Meanwhile people my age are tottering around with bloodied heads. The absolute greatest fuckwit of our time, Donald Trump, parades around a Golf course and insults the mayor in Puerto Rico who is trying to help her people. But she lives on an island and that is surrounded by water so there is nothing Trump can do to help. Of course if there was a Communist takeover in the island then that would be another matter, but people dying? starving? Where's the problem? Where to from here? We so desperately need a break through to a rational decent alternative to what the Capitalist class has to offer. There is hope though. as I write this thousands of brave young people are marching through Barcelona for decency. comradely Gary <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
