New Socialist keeps fighting the good fight. This issue, both timely and relevant, examines the growing trend of targeted policing and aggressive police actions during demonstrations. Other articles dissect the rise of the Alliance threat in Canada with the election of Stockwell Day, OCAP activists’ trail, economic recession, and global workers’ struggles. New Socialist continues to be a vital source for local struggles for social justice. The writing is analytical and explanatory, fortunately avoiding the easy cant and sloganeering that sometimes haunts the urgent activist writing of well-informed and socially engaged individuals. A vital resource connecting the local with international struggles among the different aspects of oppression. (RT)
