Socialist Equality Party

The War Comes Home: Race, Class and Police Violence in America

$3.00

This pamphlet draws the connection between the growth of police violence in the United States and the erection of a police military-intelligence apparatus that operates without any legal or constitutional constraints. There is a parallel between intensifying police violence at home and the pursuit of war overseas.

The growth of social inequality is at the heart of the destruction of democratic rights, and as such is directed at the entire working class – black, white, Hispanic and immigrant alike. Obama, the president of “Hope and Change”, bolsters the American elite’s War on Terror, imposing ever greater restrictions on fundamental rights; on the other hand, the administration relies on proponents of identity politics, such as Democratic Party operative Al Sharpton, to confuse and divide the working class.
