strategy and tactics within the international left. It is a
forum for open and constructive dialogue between active

to neoliberal economic and social policies, and reject the
bureaucratic model of `socialism' that arose in the Soviet Union
and Eastern Europe. Inspired by the unfolding socialist
revolution in Venezuela, Links is a journal for `Socialism of
the 21st Century' and the discussions and debates flowing from

FAIR, the
national media watch group, has been offering well-documented
criticism of media bias and censorship since 1986. We work to
invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater
diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that
marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints.
As an anti-censorship organization, we expose neglected news
stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As
a progressive group, FAIR believes that structural reform is
ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates,
establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong
non-profit sources of information.
Uniquely,
FAIR works with both activists and journalists. We maintain a
regular dialogue with reporters at news outlets across the
country, providing constructive critiques when called for and
applauding exceptional, hard-hitting journalism. We also
encourage the public to contact media with their concerns, to
become media activists rather than passive consumers of news.
War, poverty, exploitation and oppression are products of the
capitalist system, a system in which a minority ruling class
profits from the labor of the majority. The alternative is
socialism, a society based on workers collectively owning and
controlling the wealth their labor creates.
