This is a blog for revolutionaries who are fighting for peace, social justice and equality. We stand against war, imperialism, poverty, racism, sexism and inequality. We want to abolish capitalism because we know a better world is necessary--a world which puts people and mother nature before profits, where everyone's human needs are met. We use blogs, films, music and other media as a tool to give political education to the masses, especially youth, with the intent of building a larger social movement.

The free government program, Mission Robinson, is largely responsible for the success, teaching more than 1.5 million people to read and write in the first two years of its existence.
