Ten years defending the ideas of genuine Marxism in Mexico

Written by the Editorial Board of Militante Wednesday, 16 August 2000

Ten years after the appearance of Militante, we see that none of the fundamental problems in our society have been improved; on the contrary, the scheme of capitalist growth continues to wreak havoc among the masses. The misery and violence of the capitalist system is more crude than ever; thus the need for a newspaper that fights for a revolutionary alternative is more urgent today than ever. The united activists at Militante, Marxist Voice of Workers and Youth, call you to join our struggle for the construction of a revolutionary alternative for the socialist transformation of society. We call on our comrades and sympathizers in the United States and Canada to work with us in our common struggle against international capitalism and imperialism. For a Democratic Socialist Federation of the Americas!
