Markin comment:
Places like California, Massachusetts and the like that used to be in the forefront of education in capitalist America are now in the forefront of taking a beating from declining state revenues, and, frankly, concern about public education now that it is seen as a "waste" by the charter school movement, and others. There is plenty wrong with the public schools, particularly the minority-heavy city schools, but starving public education is the last thing that any society should be doing, capitalist or communist. In 2010 to make massive cuts in public education and get away with it shows just how far down this capitalist system, which at one time saw massive public education as its salvation, has gone. Well, we will change that when we communists get our chance but for now defend public education, tooth and nail.
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
