AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

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

CORRECTION - TIME is 7:00PM-9:00PM - Trump's Global Policies: Russia, the world and implications for the peace movement

When: Thursday, March 23, 2017, 7:00 am to 9:00 am

Where: Friends Meeting House • 5 Longfellow Park • Cambridge

presentation by Mark Solomon followed by discussion

The bizarre Russian controversy complete with charges of influencing the presidential election has diverted attention from the existential dangers of Trump's foreign policy. Trump and his right wing advisor Steven Bannon are pushing an aggressive "America First" policy driven by near unimaginably destructive nuclear weapons. There is increasing danger of conflict and war with China and North Korea that could result in massive destruction.

This presentation will analyze the political and strategic influences underlying Trump's global policies and will look at how the projected "reset" with Russia relates to those global objectives. It will also consider the dangers inherent in liberal and centrist efforts to foment a new cold war with Russia. All of these pressing threats need the immediate attention and action by peace activists.

Mark Solomon is professor of history emeritus at Simmons College and a former national co-chair of Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism.
