...right-wing terrorists at the Bologna train station (84 dead, 160 injured) and Munich's Oktoberfest (13 dead, 215 injured). Conditions certainly seemed right for a fascist revival in Western Europe. With work hard to find, restive young people have been growing impatient with prevailing economic models, both capitalist (U.S.) and Communist (U.S.S.R.). For a simplistic few, fascism seems reassuringly regimented. In France and West Germany (though not so much in Spain and Italy), fascism and anti-Semitism tend to go hand in hand...

It is an active organization of fascist terrorists who have a long history of terror and murder against Blacks, Jews, trade unionists and the left. Fascism is the most naked form of capitalist reaction. The alarming growth of the KKK is a product of the deteriorating economic condition of U.S. imperialism.

Lots of space is devoted to timely causes, often to demands that someone be freed--the U.S. Two, the Houston Park Four, the Mao Tse-Tung Five. For several issues last winter, the theme was May Day 1980, which the party urged workers to celebrate by leaving their jobs...
Marxists have preached and "prayed" for more than a hundred years that the collapse of capitalist countries in general, and the near capitalist U.S. in particular, would come about by a revolt of the "exploited" working class. Now look at Poland [Sept. 1]. Whose workers in what type of country are revolting...
