On Saturday, June 8th the Workers' International League of Dallas led a demonstration in solidarity with the mass protests in Turkey. We rallied for four hours on the historic Grassy Knoll JFK monument. Despite the modest size of the rally - about 20 - tourists were eager pick up a sign, get a picture with us or ask us about the events in Turkey.

The declaration of Obama that the USA will step up its support for the rebels in Syria represents a change in the situation. The White House announcement means that the U.S. is to supply direct military aid to the Syrian opposition for the first time. Spokesman Ben Rhodes did not give details about the military aid other than to say it would be “different in scope and scale to what we have provided before.” What attitude should Marxists and the labor movement take to this?

El flujo de malas noticias parece fluir sin parar: tiroteos escolares desde Colorado hasta Connecticut. Derrumbes y explosiones de fábricas desde Bangladesh hasta Texas. Ataques terroristas desde Pakistán hasta Boston. Desmoronamiento de la infraestructura desde la Ciudad de México hasta Minneapolis. Secuestros y torturas desde Ciudad Juárez hasta Cleveland. Guerras y guerras civiles desde Siria hasta Somalia. Desempleo masivo desde Grecia hasta California ¿Cuáles son las raíces de esta ola imparable de miseria humana, incertidumbre y caos? ¿Qué puede hacer la mayoría de la sociedad al respecto?

Los recientes ataques en Colorado, Connecticut, Boston y resto del país han impresionado a todo el mundo. Como hemos explicado anteriormente en las páginas de Socialist Appeal, estos incidentes de violencia repetidos reflejan la decadencia del capitalismo americano. El declive de este sistema no ofrece ningún futuro a los jóvenes de hoy, más bien distracciones, desesperación y escapismo. El alto desempleo, la deuda, la falta de servicios sanitarios, la alienación y un sentimiento generalizado de inseguridad bastan para empujar a algunos al borde del precipicio. Se podría poner fin a estos crímenes horribles si cambiamos de sociedad, por una que ofrezca a la humanidad la esperanza de un futuro mejor; solamente si, en lugar de salidas escapistas, nos implicamos en la lucha por la vida que nos gustaría vivir.

This is an important resource. However, it's length and scope may seem...
