Markin comment:
We had best preserve, and do so quickly, the words, thoughts and comments of heroic old time World War II anti-fascist fighters like Manolis Glezos while they are still alive, whether they fought under the Stalinist banner or ours. In that struggle Stalinist militants like Glezos were our people, even if they were not "our people". I am making some effects to touch base these days with the remnants of the American Abraham Lincoln Batallion of the 15th International Brigade who fought in the Spanish Civil War with that same intention, and there are precious fewer of those "pre-mature" anti-fascists left.
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. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
