Every Month Is Labor History Month

This commentary is part of a series under the following general title: Labor’s Untold Story- Reclaiming Our Labor History In Order To Fight Another Day-And Win!

As a first run through, and in some cases until I can get enough other sources in order to make a decent presentation, I will start with short entries on each topic that I will eventually go into greater detail about. Or, better yet, take my suggested topic and run with it yourself.

Markin comment:

This analysis of Earl Browder like that of William Z. Foster by early American Trotskyist leader and Socialist Workers party founder, James P. Cannon, a fellow communist, factional partner and later opponent of his in the American communist movement takes on added significance because it is likely to stand as one of the few fairly honest evaluations of the man from a contemporary communist perspective. Hell, they came out of the plains of Kansas together, although in the end they went in very different directions.
