When Freedom Is the Question, Abolition Is the Answer

Understanding Lung Cancer
Cancer of any kind is scary, but lung cancer is unique in that most people think that only people who smoke can or do get it. The truth is that anyone can get lung cancer, and it can be deadly. In 2008 (the most recent year numbers are available), 208,493 people in the United States were diagnosed with lung cancer, while 158,592 people in the United States died from lung cancer. Here, Dr. Naheed Ali dispels the notion that only smokers develop lung cancer, but also goes over their increased risk for getting the disease, while also considering the risk factors that non-smokers face. He provides background and tips for combating lung cancer, from prevention, to treatment, to coping with the disease should a person fall victim. In typical fashion, Ali helps readers to understand what lung cancer is, how it develops, its different forms, and how both patients and caregivers can approach healing and treatment. Offering a clear background on the disease and its development, this work will help lung cancer sufferers and their friends and family better cope with and understand the diagnosis.
Sozialismus ist zum Kotzen
"Ich wusste, dass die Jungs großartig sind; aber diese Seite von ihnen kannte ich noch nicht. Kauft dieses Buch! Gebt es euren Kindern und Enkelkindern und jedem, der den modisch gewordenen Nonsens propagiert, dass Staatsmacht glücklicher macht als persönliche Freiheit." Richter Andrew P. Napolitano, leitender juristischer Analyst für Fox News "Von der Verelendung Venezuelas bis zur Befreiung Georgiens stellen die Autoren jeden Sozialisten, Ex-Sozialisten, Halb-Sozialisten und wahrscheinlich jedes sozialistische Experiment, Bier für Bier, auf die Probe." Matt Ridley, Autor von "The Evolution of Everything" "In der Theorie ist Sozialismus zum Kotzen, und Ökonomen wissen, wieso. Hier sin...
Mulheres negras e marxismo
Trabalho doméstico, terceirização, identidade negra, precarização, violência policial, violência de gênero, abortos clandestinos. Os dramas das grandes massas trabalhadoras do mundo se condensam na vida das mulheres negras. Mas na história da luta de classes nós sempre fomos linhas de frente. No volume Mulheres negras e marxismo visitamos cada um desses temas para contribuir na construção de um feminismo socialista e revolucionário que entende que a classe trabalhadora é o sujeito social da revolução, essa classe cada vez mais feminina e negra. Não será um representante no poder ou um punhado de nós no topo que irá destruir o racismo e o patriarcado, isso é neoliberalismo. Com esse livro, buscamos contribuir para fortalecer esse ponto de vista para o que é certamente uma das franjas que mais tem a ganhar ao conquistar o marxismo e a revolução como ferramentas para a superação da miséria social que é o capitalismo. Como disse CLR James, estamos convocadas pela história a sermos vanguarda da classe trabalhadora brasileira para escrever “alguns dos mais massivos e brilhantes capítulos da história do socialismo revolucionário”.
