Yeah SJ used to be called Bad Haircut but the name Bad Haircut was > from a 10 year-old joke and just didn't convey what we were trying to do with the magazine. The name Social Justice encompasses the struggles of people everywhere who work for gender equality democratic government economic opportunity intellectual freedom environmental protection and human rights. These efforts manifest themselves in differing ways under varying circumstances. We hope to use the magazine to highlight aspects of these struggles and provide avenues for support when possible. Social Justice is an electronic magazine (e-zine) designed for free distribution through the internet. Feel free to make copies and share with friends (or enemies).

Subject: proletarian revolution
Proletarian Revolution No. 51 (Spring 1996) Partial Contents '96 Election: Racist Anti-Worker Trap Only yesterday, Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh were the stock horror figures for Democratic advocates. Now they join the liberals and the entire bourgeois establishment in pointing with horror at Buchanan. The dominant capitalists are afraid that his rhetoric will *prematurely* heat up trade war , heighten racial polarization and stir up working-class anger. French Workers Show the Way The French workers' fight was a slap in the face of those who preach that the working class is dead, that workers cannot break through the class collaborationism of their unions and parties and that the idea of a general strike is absurd on its face. In France the working class took a giant step forward toward reclaiming its revolutionary heritage. The crying need is for a revolutionary leadership to make that heritage conscious. Haiti Occupation Switches Frontmen Given the crisis rampant throughout much of the Western hemisphere, a mass revolutionary uprising would spark working- class eruptions even beyond the Caribbean. In such a situation, the position of the imperialist troops, to say nothing of their indigenous lackeys, would become untenable. To start this process requires merciless criticism of and opposition to Preval, Aristide and all the leaders who disarm the masses politically and materially in service to their imperialist masters. Capitalism Revives Human Bondage Throughout the world, imperialism is using superexploited and even slave labor in its increasingly cutthroat global competition. This in turn drives down the wages and conditions of all workers. It also paves the way for various nationalist capitalist demagogues to whip up national and racist chauvinism against abysmally paid foreign workers. ISO's Right Turn to Labor For a long time, one of the nice things that could be said about the labor work of the International Socialist Organization was that they were pretty much not doing any. The ISO found a home on upper middle-class college campuses, where they recruited to the most minimal pseudo-socialist politics. For the past couple of years the ISO has been making a turn to labor work, by and large playing the role of cheerleaders for leftish trade union bureaucrats. This article will analyze the ISO's behavior on the labor scene and show that at no time has the ISO waged a fight against the pro-capitalist labor leaders that would be worthy of an organization calling itself revolutionary. Detroit Left Strikes Out No less than three separate support committees backed by left participants have been involved in the Detroit strike, raising their notions of trade-union militancy. In their arguments for militancy, the left groups attempt to substitute themselves for the image they hold dear of militant trade unionism. They avoid a revolutionary explanation of why trade-union militancy is not enough -- and fail to show how to not only defend but to transform such militancy into revolutionary struggle. New York Unions Beg for Class Peace 'It's nice to come home to a city where there is labor peace.' So said AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, addressing the Association For a Better New York in December after a visit to strike-bound France. Only a few weeks later, labor peace in New York was shattered by the month-long building workers' strike of Local 32B-32J of the SEIU, the local Sweeney once ran. Thanks to the efforts of Sweeney's hand-picked successor , Gus Bevona, also vice-president of SEIU, a strike with potential to win was turned into a near-disaster and a defeat for the workers.

Subject: Rethinking Marxism
Rethinking Marxism A Journal of Economics Culture and Society -------------------------------------------- Rethinking Marxism aims to stimulate interest and debate over the explanatory power and social consequences of Marxian economic and social analysis. To that end it publishes studies that seek to discuss elaborate and extend Marxian theory. It is concerned with theoretical and philosophical (metodological and epistemological) matters as well as more concrete empirical anallysis - all work that leads to the further development of a distinctly Marxian discourse. Contributions are encouraged from people in many disciplines and from a wide range of perspectives. It is the editor's belief that Marxian approaches to social theory are important for developing strategies toward radical social change - in particular for ending class exploitation and the various forms of political cultural and psychological oppression including those based on race and gender. Research that explores these and related issues from a Marxian perspective are particulary welcome. Articles of interest: Masculinity and the culture of anxiety in post-war United States Barbara Epstein. Grow or Die: Theories of capitalism and the environment Blair Sandler. Dependency of mutuality: A feminist perspective on dilemmas of welfare policy Martha Acklesberg. The Cherry Orchard: Problems for peace in Middle East Marilyn Zuckerman.
