Being said, ‘socialism’ can be said to exit already — for the rich for what it does economically is socialize the costs of doing business for transnational corporation, subsidies, tax breaks, de-regulation, re-regulation — then when it is profit harvesting time the profits are of course privatized. So we can say under this definition that the corporations and the select few who own their stock are welfare queens.

But this is not ‘socailsm’. It is neo-liberalism a late stage capitlist development when the corporations becomes the ‘state’ or government and of course this is what you are seeing now and have been for more than 30 years.

Socialism, as used by progressives means something very different Kevin. It is a labor theory of value that cliams that workers create profit through their labor, not capitalists. Capitalists would like you to believe you need them and their managerial class and hierarchy. The fact is workers do not need capitalists. They need capital and that is why where you see worker run factories, take Argentina, the costs are socialized but so are the profits. This means the people who actually do the labor, make the capial control its use directly or indirectly. The role of government here is not subsidize the rich or pass ‘free trade laws’ tht hollow out our country, it is to put into place sensible regulations that allow for a more fair and equal distribution of powre and capital.

If workers, though their work rent their lives for ten dollars an hour and increase productivty to the point they are knokcing out value of 20 dollars an hour then why should the surplus all go to the capitalist to creat technology to remove jobs, to speculate, and to other wise buy and sell politicians?

No, workers need to be in control of their labor, they need councils to direct capital investment and a government for and by the people, not for and by the corporation, Kevin, as you have now. For if it continues to become oligarchical it will turn into fascism, Mussolini style.

Ron Paul offers little when it comes to economic sensibility except the call to audit or eliminate the Fed. His policies favor the same corporations that deny basic human rights to workers everyday. Whose factories lie idle or at 70 percent for to produce would mean less profits even if people need jobs. Paul is not part of the solution, he is a libertarian which means if one is to define terms: he is a republican that believes in tthe primacy of the ‘free market’ and thus is not on the side of workers who wish a fair market, Kevin.

Thanks for writing and reading

But that is just it, Riot you letter is evidence of the possibilities for a large movement to assure zero-tolerance is redefined and aimed at the war mongers and elite managerial class at schools. For they are the real danger, the reeal child molestors and now wage war on our youth.

We need you to join your local movement against this policy, continue to speak up for this is real education and yes, challenge the authority.

If you find that you are being singled out or in any way overtly harrassed by school authorities get a hold of The Community Justice Netwark in San Francisio. You can call Shadi Rahimi, the Communications Director for this group that is actively fighting these policies.

I just received a messae fro Shadi and he is asking me to continue to expose this. If you wish anonymosuly to write me at weilunion@aol.com I will be happy to hear any stories that you can get me with names of the officials and the schools. I can then include this in more articles I hope to do with Communtiy Justice Network.

We need you. Also, look for an upcoming article about how youth in Detroit are fighting back against Wal-Mart for it will show you both the power of youth and the necessity that it organizes.

Shadi Rahimi’s phone id (415) 321-4100 X 103

You can find the group through google: Community Justice Network for Youth (CJNY).

Thank you and get me some details, anonymously if you wish, regarding zero-tolerance issues, punishment by schools and the like. As said, e-mail me: weilunion@aol.com

I look to hear from you!

I find myself spending more time sitting out in the hallway rather than in the actual classroom as a punishment. For what, you ask? Questioning. The simple act of questioning as to how our government could possiblY be a “Government for the people,” When corporations are given the same rights as a living being. For the sole purpose of making money. Questioning our protection under the 8th amendment, when big brother is constantly recording us and scanning our emails. When I told my teacher that we could’nt possibly have true freedom, because at birth, were tagged with a barcode, that precious social security number, and the moment you say something the Government does’nt like you tagged with the label “terrorist.”

Terrorist, which by the way no longer has any meaning. It’s simply a term used to justify dehumanizing people who fit into the racial stereotypes that have been brainwashed into our heads by the Wall Street Journal and Fox News

You make a powerful argument for the brutality wallpapered to our children’s back. And yes, zero-tolerance is a necessity for the ruling class for it teaches obedience, informs the young early as to the rules for the brutal system, embraces authoritarianism with both arms and prepares students for the dramatic ‘changes’ that capital has in store for them, ike low-paying jobs, foster homes, prisons, the military, betray and mistrust of others thus vitiating the need to see the common struggle for human dignity and of course it offers a perverse message to those not caught up and thrown against the wall: you could be next. Obey. You have no choice.

But as I mentioned in one of my articles, perhaps the one where students fight against the Wal-Mart internship thta is really servitude: youth will not take it, they will drop oput of school, either struggle or find their way into the house of mirroed distress, gangs and crime.

Like capitalism, the authoritarianism of ‘schools’ is unustainable and the fight back inevitable.

Thanks for helping us make sense out of much of this, Jack, and my best.

“Zero tolerance” is the expression of the sure knowledge by the capitalist class that historically it is the youth that power revolutions against social systems that are decayed, ready to be thrust into “the dust bin of history.”

“Zero tolerance” is the ruling class’ drive to terrify the youth so that as this economic system descends ever deeper into economic depression and it is no longer possible to live in the old way, the youth do not step forward throwing off the old ideological shackles, as history says they are won’t to do in such circumstances, and provide the power to overthrow capitalism and install a system of production for need rather than profit, i.e., a socialist economic system where the rule is “from each according to ability, to each according to need.”

The daily News Line, a physical newspaper printed on actual paper and distributed among the working class of England and the youth, often prints articles showing the revolutionary action of young workers, exactly the type this ruling class is trying to repress by “zero tolerance.”
