DESCRIPTION:The Trump-Putin post-truth world of Fox News and Russia Today, are kindred 
 moments of a global capitalist order that has devolved into neo-fascism: 
 scapegoating the “Other” and accepting genocide. Internal reactionaries 
 and competing multiple regional and global powers have no regard for human 
 life, as demonstrated most horribly by Assad's latest chemical gas assault 
 on Khan Sheikhoun and Trump's terror against civilians in Syria, Iraq and 
 Yemen. As a Syrian revolutionary recently put it, “After all this 
 slaughter, we ask, do the Syrian people not belong to the human 
 community?”\n\nMultiple forms of resistance continue: the global 
 women’s movement, Black Lives Matter and immigrants everywhere, including 
 in the U.S. Mass demonstrations against Putin’s regime emerged anew 
 across Russia last week, demanding end to official corruption.\n\nIs this 
 world of vile nationalism and permanent war a return to the horrors of 
 so-called primitive accumulation through enslavement and conquest? Does 
 Marx’s thought and revolutionary practice speak to this moment? Gerry 
 Emmett’s essay, “Marx’s Marxism vs. Trump-Putin’s barbarism,” in 
 the March/April News & Letters addresses these issues.\n\nHow can the mass 
 outpourings go beyond opposition and give humanity a different 
 future?\n\nWe hope to see you there and hear your thoughts.\n\nSunday,
