The
crisis in housing is a product of the capitalist system. Yosef Mikhah looks at
the effects it has on working people, and the need for a socialized plan of
quality housing for all. From the latest issue
of the US Socialist Appeal
Guantánamo Bay, an American army base containing 3,000 US military
personnel, is located at the southern end of Cuba. It has over the past two
years been used as a prison for 660 detainees from the ‘War on Terror’.The
use of the base as a prison for ‘enemy combatants’ has generated a great
deal of controversy. This term‘enemy combatants’conceals the fact that the
prisoners have no rights whatsoever and exposes the hypocrisy of the US
government.
