New Setting of the Class Struggle and Industrial Concentration
We are dealing with the largest working class in our history. Not counting farm labor, figures that I was not able to come up with, there are roughly 130 million workers in the U.S. economy today.

Report on the 2006 Elections
I would like to begin by recognizing and appreciating our local candidates who are out in the field in this election cycle. Through them we build on the legacy of the great Benjamin J.
