Workers Vanguard No. 961

2 July 2010

BP Disaster

(Letter)

Brooklyn, NY
22 June 2010

To the Editors of Workers Vanguard:

I’m disappointed you have not yet run an article about the Gulf oil blowout. The ruling class is raping the planet, fouling their own nest, yet they can’t stop themselves. Having allowed high-risk deep sea drilling without the technology to deal with inevitable accidents, the government can do no more than impotently wag its finger at BP, while Obama makes multiple do-nothing visits to the Gulf to show that he “cares.”

Could there be a better argument for socialism?

Fraternally,
Jack L.
