Below is the editorial from Volume 7 Issue 1:
 
Fire
This Time Newspaper is out in your hands again. We are back and determined to
get the paper out regularly. We are hoping to be able to publish the newspaper
every three weeks, or 16 issues in one year. However, we will publish once a
month in August and in December due to holidays and also conferences we are
organizing. Fire This Time, is a revolutionary newspaper. Our newspaper
reflects the battle of ideas that is shaping the political, economic and social
fabrics of our society on the local and international
stage.
Fire This Time is a platform and standpoint of working and oppressed people. We
intend to present an alternative that is intellectually honest and presents
facts and analysis
for those who are interested to know the truth and want to bring about a better
world.
 
We
have taken a side in the battle between the dark forces and the forces of
humanity. We
are objective in the sense that we do not deny reality, but we are against the
order of the
current reality. We are for fundamental economical and social change. Hence,
Fire
This
Time reflects the struggle and revolutionary independent working class
policies, to advocate
for socialist change. Humanity, as a consequence of the deep and irresolvable crisis
of capitalism and imperialism, is on the verge of total collapse. The
potential, capacity and capability of human beings is immense, but
unfortunately it is captivated by the destructive forces of capital and its war
machine. No conscious men and women in this world can be indifferent to this
injustice.
 
Fire
This Time newspaper was born out of necessity, not out of an eccentric desire,
to present our vision. As a matter of fact after many considerations and
looking more carefully into what we wanted to achieve in the short and long run
as revolutionaries and looking into the potential and actual capacity of the
working class movement and its political organizations, as a whole, we decided
to go ahead with this project. Not because we have better ideas for building a
revolutionary movement, but because we did not see an alternative to join or to
follow as our revolutionary vanguard. We are independent. 
 
The
truth is we have always relied on the generous contributions of our supporters
and readers. We have never received a single penny from any mainstream,
progressive, or other institution. This is an ambitious project, with
grassroots support and thousands of hours of volunteer work. We do not wish for
anybody to impose their agendas on us in exchange for their money. If you
believe we are doing a good job; if you think it is worth it to support this
small revolutionary newspaper, then we would like to appeal for your financial
help. We assure you that you are our reason for existence and we depend solely
on you.
 
Thank
you.
