This month, the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx, we are making a special appeal to all WSWS readers to set up a regular monthly donation to the WSWS--to become a WSWS Supporter.

The crisis of world capitalism is developing rapidly. The imperialist powers, led by the US, threaten to plunge humanity into a world war. The ruling class is censoring the Internet and turning to ever more authoritarian forms of rule. The working class is beginning to fight back, in a resurgence of social conflict that spans the globe.

The greatest and most urgent task is the building of a socialist movement of the international working class. The ICFI is the leadership of this movement, and the WSWS is its world publication.

There are enormous challenges before us--and before, you, our readers and supporters. To reach ever greater numbers of workers and youth all over the world, to intervene more aggressively in every struggle of the working class, to improve our technology and expand our staff, to put on more events like the WSWS May Day Online Rally--we need to increase our monthly budget.

To celebrate Marx's birth, support the Marxism of today!

We are seeking 200 new monthly donors to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx. Be one of them! Make the commitment to become a WSWS Supporter!
