My friends and I are going to be working on a thematic newspaper this summer for the next school year. The purpose of the paper is to educate and interest the student body in politics and history, with critical perspectives to establish an ignorant-free enviroment. Issues will cover several things:

Aniversaries of selected persons with a small biography. Everyone from left philosophers (Marx, Marcuse, Freire) to famous people, activists and revolutionaries (Lenin, Helen Keller, Oscar Wilde, Einstein) etc. Marxist/Socialist/ or political [economy] terminology (Capitalism, false consciousness, Alienation..etc) Historical events (US foreign policy, current events... these will corralate with the aniversaries too) Analyze specific controversial topics (MLK and Malcolm X assassinations, Nixon's reign, 2000 election, wars, Black Panthers, Israel/Palestine...etc)

Each issue will be thematic, thus everything will connect in some way. Our intentions is that after having read an issue, the reader will have a better idea of how "the system" works, and be aware of the world outside their own. A forum will also be provided to expand the field of discussion and debate; we are going to use an already existing forum www.ctcafe.net

The only thing we need is a nme for the paper! What would make a cool name for such a publication?

Whats wrong with "Field Marshal"

That sound like a good name to me :)

Mmmm but that sound more like a pen-name

Where do you live? If you live in the desert regions you can call it "The Revolutionary Sun"

you get my point, just look at your surroundings, something good will come out. It always does

What country do you live in? I'd like a Spanish title, like the Spanish words for "The Truth" - "La Verdad" or for "Red Star" - "Estrella Roja"

I like:

"The Vision"
"Enduring Truth"
"Red Sun"
"Revolution on the Horizon"
"Working Class Words" (?)

EDIT: "Sage Against the Machine" is cute!

Hey FM, don not use Newspeak America, newspeak is the language in 1984! You will send the wrong idea.

The Red Sage!

Brilliant! But we all know that a name like that will be discredited for some time by various school elements because of it's obvious red slant, but that's something that will be overcome with initial publications.

Against the Current

That's a cool name too, but it's already in use by a San Diego magazine.
