Letters to the Editor
LINDA AVERILL EVOLVES

DEAR EDITOR: Thanks, Stranger Election Control Board, for your endorsement
[Sept 15]. Wow, maybe the revolution will be televised!

As for your suggestion that I leave the Freedom Socialist Party for the
Democrats, hell will freeze before that happens. I dumped the Dems for
socialism in the 1980s, after "liberal" President Jimmy Carter reinstated
registration for the draft. Since then, well-meaning folks have advised,
"You'll get further if you drop the 's' word."

But, truth be told, any progress toward justice in this country is due to
independent political mass movements, with radicals and socialists leading
the way. On the other hand, look at what the Democrats did to the massive
antiwar movement, which was out in the streets at the start of the Iraq War.
Like you advise me, they urged protesters to "join the mainstream dialogue"
via the Kerry campaign?and they killed the movement.

I'm a revolutionary feminist because I've studied Marxism and it makes far
more sense than so-called "free-market" theories à la Milt Friedman and
trickle-down Bush. What Marx scientifically showed is that, if humanity is
to evolve, socialism is the next stage. Global productive forces are
advanced enough to feed the entire world and reduce the workweek?if the
economy were planned, wealth shared, and industry publicly owned under the
control of workers.

Instead, under capitalism we get wars, manmade disasters like New Orleans,
the trashing of our environment, and AIDS epidemics. The sooner we close
Wall Street, the better for us and the world. Viva socialismo!

By the way, I call for a $17/hour minimum wage for all who work in Seattle,
not just city contractors. In every nation (except Cuba) the poor are
getting poorer and the rich richer. Few of us are paid what we need to
survive, which in overpriced Seattle is at least $17 an hour.

Linda Averill

Seattle City Council candidate Position 4
