We offer this paper to help both public health professionals and socialists view pandemics through a Marxist lens. Although our theory is global in scope, we focus on the U.S. because of its scientific prominence, its outsized global role in the AIDS pandemic, and its poor performance in the COVID-19 pandemic. Our hope is that this piece will strengthen efforts to protect public health and, better yet, help usher capitalism off the Earth before it makes the planet uninhabitable.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-IV583-August-2023-" rel="directory">IV583 - August 2023</a> / <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-United-States-USA-+" rel="tag">United States (USA)</a>, <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Marxism-+" rel="tag">Marxism</a>, <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-LGBT-+" rel="tag">LGBT</a>, <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Public-services-+" rel="tag">Public services </a>, <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Covid-19-Pandemic-+" rel="tag">Covid-19 Pandemic</a>
