Re: [Marxism] Campaign for a NO on bailout?

["S. Artesian" <sartesian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think we should definitely talk about  and definitely oppose the bailout-- 
including but beyond the obvious: "Billions for Investment Bankers, Not One 
Red Cent for Universal Healthcare."

Question is-- how do we move beyond simple "reform the securities industry," 
"back to the New Deal" type of agitation?

During the 1980s, smaller US agricultural producers were between the real 
rock and hard place of debt, interest rates, and low prices. Jesse Jackson 
copped quite a bit of popularity in farm areas, showing up at farm 
foreclosures and auctions, leading protests..  Think he even raised the 
slogan of  no foreclosures, no seizures.

Don't see why we can't do the same with housing debt-- cancel it.  Cancel 
all residential mortgage debts on family units.  Period.
