This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. I will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies I believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time.

*On The 100th Anniversary Of The Russian Revolution Of 1905- From The Pen Of Leon Trotsky

Click on title to link to the Leon Trotsky Internet Archive's copy of a section, "1789-1848-1905" of Trotsky's post-mortem analysis of the first Russian revolution, the 'dress rehearsal' for 1917, "Results And Prospects".

Markin commment:

On this the 100th anniversary of the proletariat-led march to the Winter Palace that started the first Russian revolution and ended, short term, in bloody defeat with many dead and injured a look at Trotsky's view, especially his advanced view that the Russian proletariat would lead the revolution first gets its worked-out form.
