Black America's
challenge to Bush's war and repression
Resisting police abuse in Chicago's Cabrini-Green,
marching in defense of affirmative action at the steps of the U.S. Supreme
Court, and racking high poll numbers against Bush's war on Iraq show the ongoing
struggles of the other, Black America for freedom. As invasion turns to
occupation, can questions about Bush's style of "democracy" in Iraq
and in the U.S. be the basis of solidarity?
Editorial
Tasting
the bitter roots of occupation
The Bush administration's main goal--the eradication of
Saddam's rule--was achieved slightly ahead of schedule. This development has
starkly revealed that the concrete future of the Iraqi people was only a
secondary priority for the U.S. It's clear the U.S. would like to maintain as
many Ba'athist functionaries in place as possible to eventually reinvigorate the
basic functions of state power. It is also clear that this will be unacceptable
to much of the Iraqi population.

'Letters on Hegel's Absolutes'... A Celebration
This May marks the 50th anniversary of the writing of Raya
Dunayevskaya's "Letters on Hegel's Absolutes"-the philosophic
breakthrough that led to the birth of Marxist-Humanism. As part of our
commemoration of this event, we are reprinting a 1987 commentary by Dunayevskaya
on these letters, in which she reexamined them in light of the effort to work
out a new relation between philosophy and organization. We also publish two
essays on her philosophic contribution. Further discussion of these issues will
continue.

clampdown
In June nearly nine million signatures were collected,
out of 11 million people on the island of Cuba, to sign into law a declaration
on the impossibility of modifying the current political structure. At about the
same time a vicious response was set in motion as well, the fruits of which is
the current wave of repression.
