Just a reminder that you should not forget about the horrible things which occur in a world not fit for humanity.

Victims of the Montreal Massacre at l'École Polytechnique on December 6, 1989. Fourteen human beings slaughtered because they were women.

Geneviève Bergeron	Maryse Laganière
Hélène Colgan	Maryse Leclair
Nathalie Croteau	Anne-Marie Lemay
Barbara Daigneault	Sonia Pelletier
Anne-Marie Edward	Michèle Richard
Maud Haviernick	Annie St-Arneault
Barbara Klucznik Widajewicz	Annie Turcotte

This is just one tragedy in a world of tragedies. We cannot comprehend the pain of all of the tragedies, so most of us pick one or two to remember, or ignore them all.

Socialists are appalled by all of them. The only way to end our horror is to end the economic system and its attendant social structures which dehumanize us all so that we can live amidst the horror. We can be disabled by the scale of the horror, or we can enable ourselves. We can build a society fit for humanity: Socialism.
