Letter to the Editor March 2025
To the Editor:
I suggest someone in this country is stirring a fascist stew: a stew spiced with chauvinistic ingredients; national, racial, and male chauvinism.
Will the Chef turn up the heat?
Will the pot boil over?
Or will workers and oppressed people unite to form their own democracy, a democracy based upon public ownership of banks and large scale industry?
I believe the answer will be revealed within the next century.
