Prisoner's discount?
I'm just writing to tell you what a fine newspaper you all have. A friend sent me several copies of the Militant and I couldn't put them down. Tell me, can I get a prisoner's discount or something like that if I order a subscription to your newspaper in the near future?

Novack on tribalism
I disagreed with one point in George Novack's article on the roots of the Civil War, that one of the tasks of the American Revolution was "to rid American society of its precapitalist encumbrances (Indian tribalism, feudalism, slavery)... " While I agree that the capitalist system needed to eliminate feudalism and slavery, I don't feel that what Novack called the "Genocide of the Indians" was in any way progressive.

While the struggle against British colonization clearly merited support, the genocide against Native peoples--which continues today--is an attack on all working people.
