News & Letters,
February-March 2006
To our readers: We are beginning 2006 with the February-March News &
Letters and continuing bimonthly after that.

Bush's agenda. But is it really an opening for revolutionary activists and
thinkers?
Editorial
The election of Evo Morales begs questions like: Can nationalized industry
truly free Bolivia from the world economy? What kind of developments are needed,
nationally and internationally, to break the power of capital and
underdevelopment?
From the Writings of Raya Dunayevskaya
The renewed resistance to Bush's policies in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina's devastation calls on us to restate Marx's liberatory vision and the
American roots of Marxism. "A 1980s View of the Two-Way Road Between Africa and
America" by Raya Dunayevskaya, first published in 1983 on the 20th anniversary
of the historic mass March on Washington, is a revolutionary observance of Black
History Month 2006.
Philosophic Dialogue

philosophy, Chris Arthur challenges her notion that freedom is subjectivity. In
his reply, collection co-editor Kevin Anderson argues that philosophy and
revolution are indeed "equal partners."
