SWP VP Candidate blames Capitalism for Baton Rouge Violence

"BATON ROUGE, La. — Socialist Workers Party vice-presidential candidate Osborne Hart and
campaign supporters spent several days in Baton Rouge participating in protest activities against the July 5 police killing of Alton Sterling here and Philando Castile in Minnesota.
The SWP presidential ticket of Alyson Kennedy and Osborne Hart will be filing for ballot status in the state of Louisiana later this month.
Many of those Hart and campaigners spoke to got copies of the new book Are They Rich Because They’re Smart? Class, Privilege and Learning Under Capitalism. The book notes that tens of thousands have come into the streets to protest police killings and brutality and to demand the arrest and prosecution of the cops responsible over the last several years. This is just one indication of the growing confidence and openness among workers of all nationalities throughout the U.S. to discuss and debate the broadest social and political questions."
