However, even today, all who make up the LGBT community continue to face discrimination and sometimes violence. As capitalism declines on a world scale, the ruling classes of each country will tend to look for scapegoats, to divert people from the struggle to change this decaying system and replace it with socialism and workers democracy. The ruling class will continue its policy of divide and rule, a tool to split the unity of the working class. Included in this is the use of homophobia and the attempt to divide people on the basis of sexuality. How can the LGBT community defend the gains of the movement and move forward to true freedom and equality? Why does this movement need to link its struggle with the struggle for socialism? This booklet is an attempt to try to address some of these questions and learn the lessons of the past, so the future can be changed for the better. 12 pages. What's New at *Socialist Appeal* for September 21st, 2011 [NEW FLYER] Make the Rich Pay for the Crisis! - An open letter to the #occupywallstreet movement<http://socialistappeal.org/resources/leaflets/955-new-flyer-make-the-rich-pay-for-the-crisis-new-flyer-make-the-rich-pay-for-the-crisis-an-open-letter-to-the-occupywallstreet-movement> Written by Socialist Appeal Wednesday, September 21st, 2011 To the courageous protesters, facilitators and sympathizers of the #occupywallstreet movement! Your bold action, inspired by the movements in Egypt, Greece, and Wisconsin, is a great effort in trying to capture the imagination of millions of workers and youth around the world who are dissatisfied with the status quo. It shows that there exists in this country a layer of committed left-wing activists who are ready to challenge the injustices of capitalist society. As allies of the movement, we would like to offer our perspective. *Socialist Appeal* has produced the open letter as a new flyer<http://socialistappeal.org/images/stories/letter%20to%20wall%20street%20occupation.pdf> for distribution at the protests.

Capitalist crisis deepens no recovery in sight as economy heads for depression<http://socialistappeal.org/analysis/economy/950-capitalist-crisis-deepens-no-recovery-in-sight-as-economy-heads-for-depression> Written by Rob Sewell Monday, September 12th, 2011 The world crisis of capitalism has entered a new stage. Rather than recover, several countries are showing features of a depression. This is an unprecedented situation and shows the deep malaise affecting the capitalist system, still reeling from the slump of 2008-9. Ten Years Since the September 11 Attacks<http://socialistappeal.org/analysis/us-history/945-ten-years-since-the-september-11-attacks> Written by Socialist Appeal Sunday, September 11th, 2011 Today marks the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the Twin Towers on September 11th, 2001. We are reproducing a number of articles on the attacks of 9/11 and the "War on Terror" from *Socialist Appeal* and from Marxist.com<http://www.marxist.com/>, including the latest article from Alan Woods, "Ten years after 9/11 - How the world has changed <http://www.marxist.com/ten-years-after-9-11.htm>." A whole generation has now come of age in a decade marked by these events and their aftermath. It is crucial that we draw the correct political lessons. Who Pays for the Crisis?<http://socialistappeal.org/wil/editorials/949-who-pays-for-the-crisis> Written by John Peterson Friday, September 9th, 2011 [image: Who pays for the crisis?]It seems hard to believe, but it has been ten full years since the September 11 attacks, and nearly ten years since the first issue of Socialist Appeal. A decade later, the country is in many ways a very different place. Long gone are the cars adorned with a dozen American flags and endless chants of USA! USA! An entire generation has grown up knowing nothing but George W. Bush, war, terrorism, financial crisis, home foreclosures and unemployment. And in real terms, things have actually gotten worse under Obama. Where is the hope and change Americans were promised? Conditions determine consciousness. The conditions we are forced to live in are having a profound effect on Americans consciousness, especially among the youth. And this transformation has revolutionary implications for the future. *Editorial for Socialist Appeal issue 62.* ** *Socialist Appeal <http://www.socialistappeal.org/content/view/15/31/>* is published by the Workers International League <http://www.socialistappeal.org/> PO Box 4244 St. Paul, MN 55104 You may also want to visit www.marxist.com and www.newyouth.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
