Statement on the Violence in Boston
The Socialist Party USA strongly condemns the violence that led to the deaths and injuries during the Boston Marathon. The suffering of the victims’ families and loved-ones cannot be understated, and we extend ourselves in an expression of deep sorrow.
We are committed to addressing the core motives behind acts of terror. Random acts of violence do not exist without the presence of motivating, situational, and socio-economic factors, and any effort toward the achievement of a long-standing peace must include a commitment to understanding and dialogue. Our dedication to the achievement of such a peace is resolute, and moments such as these both test and strengthen that dedication. The victims of violence deserve nothing less.
