I hardly believe that in the current race for the presidency very many people would ever think of voting socialist. It would hardly have occurred to me either however the Los Angeles based band Rage Against the Machine (RATM) was there to open my eyes on several different views upon this grave subject we call politics.

The National Commission for Democracy in Mexico, USA, which fights for better conditions for the poor of Southern Mexico and Central America who are currently being persecuted and having their rights torn from them by the ruling class.
