Markin comment:
I have written, many times, elsewhere in this space on the nefarious role of Stalin and Stalinism in sabotaging the Spanish Revolution in the 1930s. Spain was the litmus test for lots of things, not the least of which was its place in the evolving conscious policy of holding back revolutions in the interests of Soviet foreign policy viz-a-viz world imperialism. This was, in the final analysis the fruit of the Stalinist "theory of socialism in one country." With some fits and starts that premise was basic Stalinist policy until the demise of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.
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
