American Fascism

Tuesday, November 28, 1995 - 11:00

MY FRIENDS — I'm setting forth upon a journey I'm not fleeing, I am searching For the side that will be fighting What I fear. I wish that I could stay here A moment longer, Hug you all a little harder For I know soon I must leave you On my quest. But the world at which I'm staring Each day falls ever darker, And the more I hesitate — They grow in strength. From racist cops with batons swinging, To the Oklahoma bombing — There's really not much separating The end result. Their drums are closer beating, The same old black banners now unfurling, Along the road to Civil War We all must fight. ... Alex Middleton

about GLW - the need for alternative media

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.
