News and Letters, July 2003Draft for Marxist-Humanist Perspectives, 2003-2004 War,
resistance, and the need for a new alternative The uprising of Black youth in Benton Harbor, Michigan, follows the U.S. victory in Iraq, suggesting that there is a human alternative to Bush's racist, imperialist, state-capitalist USA.
