Letters: Lesson in Marxism
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: What a novel idea suggested by Yvette Cooper ("Marx comes back - in an anorak", 23 October) - "All those Socialist Worker Party members who stand on street corners shouting in nasal tones should give up and become teachers instead".
Many of those members who spend their day off promoting social change are, in fact, teachers. Could this have any connection with their experiences at work where, for the last 17 years, they have witnessed the life-blood being sucked out of our state education system by lack of funding, status and morale?
