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

*The Way Forward In Iran- A Guest Commentary By Alan Woods
Click On Title To Link To Alan Wood's Guest Commentary On The Situation In Iran That I Thought May Be Of Interest To The Radical (And Progressive) Public. Some Points I Would Agree With, Others Not. One Thing Is Sure. We Have To Defend Those Who Today Are Fighting On The Streets Against The Mullahs. This Seems To Be The Dividing Line (Fight Or Conciliate With The Mullahs) Between The Murkily Defined Factions That Are Emerging From The Opposition.

Woods and his followers support the other bourgeois mullah candidate, Mousavi, under the cover of a lightheaded objectivist perspective: Mousavi's class program doesn't really matter, just like Hugo Chavez; the "masses" will take care of things eventually without a revolutionary party and a revolutionary program. Interestingly, Ted Grant made the same blithe predictions about Khomeini back in 1979!
