Just recently people
in Seattle voted Kshama Sawant to the City Council. While socialism has been
scoffed at and declared obsolete by our mainstream politicians, pundits and

While Labour leader David Cunliffe was saying that
socialism is not a word he uses, Socialist Alternative candidate Kshama
Sawant was getting voted on to the Seattle City Council , defeating
the longtime Democrat incumbent. She told the media: “I think we have shown the
strongest sceptics that the socialist label is not a bad one for a grassroots
campaign to succeed.' While our corporate media have been diligently
chronicling the private life of television chef Nigella Lawson and the
death of a cartoon dog, it has paid zero attention to the election
of Kshama Sawant to the Seattle City Council this month.
