Today we continue a series of discussions about the basics of Marxism, a method for understanding

and changing the world used by many of the great organizers, activists, scholars, educators,

and revolutionaries in modern history. This week we continue our multi-parts series on agriculture under capitalism with a special focus on the hunger crisis in the United States.

How is it possible that in the richest country, in the history of the world, tens of millions struggle to access something as basic as food?

We need a new system. We need a new system.

We need a new society.

We need to demand that which may have sounded impossible even a few weeks ago, but is not

only realizable, but an imperative necessity. Deepening unemployment, a looming wave of evictions, massive and widening inequality.

There's no denying it. Capitalism is in crisis and capitalism is the crisis.
