As the people of Afghanistan continue to be bombarded with bombs, the working class of the US, Britain etc. are bombarded with "news" via the printed and (especially) broadcast media.
You may well be familiar with the effects at home, work or school - people reacting with fear, anger, bemusement etc. to the latest revelations we are treated to, whether they be about terrorism, anthrax, the use of ground troops etc.. Many are trying to understand what's at the root of it all, "The Media" always making sure that something remains "missing in the middle": anything that might inadvertently point to the capitalist mode of production as the underlying cause of the apparently varied miseries which face us every day. Certainly anything that might help make the link between the exploitation we suffer in our daily lives and the wars and terror we see presented as media spectacle elsewhere... ...For the real war, the class war, takes place every day, wherever we are, here in our everyday lives. www.worldsocialism.org - The Antidote To The Capitalist News __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
