Product Description
The propertied classes
have always laid the charge of "terrorism" on those leading the
struggle against exploitation and oppression. But it has been the terror of the
capitalist rulers against which an outraged majority eventually rises. Trotsky
explains why the working class is the only social force capable of leading the
toiling majority in overthrowing the capitalist exploiters and beginning the
construction of a new society and why individual terrorism--whatever its
intention--relegates the workers to the role of spectators and opens the
workers movement to provocation and victimization.

The
Mega-Chemical Conglomerate has launched a PR campaign
on OVTV
(OVATION), “the only network devoted to art &

creativity with the best of performance, people,
art,
music and film…”
This
ties-in quite nicely with the capitalist line that
art
& music alone can change the world.

“We know from past experience that militant actions
don’t
solve anything. Music has so much more to offer
in terms
of social change…”
