Welcome to the 6th year of Love and Rage! Starting with this issue, we are going back to 20 pages. Reflecting the federation's emphases on anti-fascism, Mexican solidarity, and prison abolition work, we have two-page spreads on each topic. Starting wit h this issue, the ABC section will regularly be two pages. We also have an article on the Love and Rage conference, at which these focuses were chosen.
Our feature article is on the recent US elections and prospects for a "next left." We also include the third part of Ron Tabor's critique of Marxism, an article about the NY squatter struggle, news and analysis from Palestine, a report on the Guarani s truggle in Brazil, a provocative article on afrocentricity and homophobia, and, of course, much more. Look next issue for us to continue our reporting on the Zapatistas in México. The situation there has recently erupted into war again, and any analysis w e could have put forward this issue would be outdated in light of these events. However, see page 7 for an as-of-press-time update on Chiapas.
