Occupy Wall Street I
With the “Occupy” actions spreading across the country and the globe, we are seeing the slogan of “tax the rich” become very popular. Can the Militant explain why this does not advance the working class movement?

Editor’s note: This week’s editorial gives some explanation of this question. The Militant will return to both the “tax the rich” and “flat tax” demagogic appeals coming from the two capitalist parties, and a working-class approach to the question of taxes in a subsequent issue.

Occupy Wall Street II
I do not agree with the criticism from a reader in the October 31 issue about the Militant paying too much attention to strikes and other workers’ struggles. What is interesting is the mutual support of strikers and the Occupy movement.
