Hey, didn't I just do this post with the ANSWER entry. Oh, I forgot, there was a split in this organization over...? The other group got ANSWER. Another, oh well, here.
I don't run into this group much anymore but at one time they had some influence in Boston.

For those not aware of that concept it meant, and means today, in practice, that each oppressed nation, gender, race, group, sub-group and, I suppose, individual does their own thing for their oppressed group (or self) and we will all meet up, collectively I assume, in the great by and by of the revolution.

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
