They see that the US has won a huge victory in the Gulf War, that the war has had disastrous economic effects on the Palestinians,…


  • The Holocaust & Israel

    After the mounds of bones at Auschwitz, the incinerators and gas chambers, we understood those who said, “Never Again!“ We thought we understood. Except while saying, “Never Again!” they told the Palestinians they could not become citizens of the state called Israel, explaining to the world that the Jews, a chosen race of people, had…


  • Left Fragmentation

    The Left is incredibly fragmented. Obviously, as long as it is in pieces it will remain weak. And yet that is not the real problem at this juncture.

  • The Democratic Party

    The Democratic Party is the lightning rod of discontent.  It adapts itself to radical movements more readily than the Republicans.  It bends.  It is flexible.  And one of its main functions is to prevent the formation of a genuine people’s party, a party that would express the interests of the working people, of the oppressed…

  • The Collapse of the USSR, Tasks of Communists – Letter Excerpt, April 1993

    In my opinion, Marxist-Leninists are faced with three major responsibilities in this period: First, to keep the banner of socialism and Marxism-Leninism flying; second, to critique collectively the historical experience of socialist construction from a socialist and Marxist-Leninist standpoint, which means dialectically, not discarding that experience but embodying it in a higher theoretical synthesis, and…
