Dear WSWS Reader,

Thanks to all who donated generously to the WSWS in response to our appeal celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx. Many readers left comments when making their donations. One remarked, "Thank you for all that you do," and another wrote: "The WSWS's great team of seasoned and superb researchers is absolutely vital to us."

Indeed, the WSWS is vital. It is the essential counter to the lies of the corporate media and capitalist states throughout the world. It not only analyzes events but is playing the leading role in the fight to defend democratic rights, free Julian Assange, oppose imperialist war, and develop the growing struggles of workers all over the world into a conscious movement against the capitalist system.

The WSWS is your publication, and it depends on your support.

If you did not donate last month, it is not too late to celebrate the bicentenary of Marx's birth by supporting the voice of Marxism today--the World Socialist Web Site.

Thank you,
Joseph Kishore
For the WSWS
