The Latest From The British Leftist Blog-Histomat: Adventures in Historical Materialism

Markin comment:
While from the tenor of the articles, leftist authors featured, and other items it is not clear to me that this blog is faithful to any sense of historical materialism that Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin or Leon Trotsky would recognize I am always more than willing to "steal" material from the site. Or investigate leads provided there for material of interest to the radical public-whatever that seemingly dwindling public may be these days.
Additional Markin comment:
I place some material in this space which may be of interest to the radical public that I do not necessarily agree with or support. Off hand, as I have mentioned before, I think it would be easier, infinitely easier, to fight for the socialist revolution straight up than some of the “remedies” provided by the commentators in these entries. But part of that struggle for the socialist revolution is to sort out the “real” stuff from the fluff as we struggle for that more just world that animates our efforts.

During his first six years in London, Trinidad born revolutionary, CLR James accomplished more than most could conceive of in a life-time. In this short introduction to a film to be made, we get a glimpse of the 24/7 life of a revolutionary in 1930′s London. WORLDwrite volunteers now need your support to start filming the fully fledged documentary they have spent two years researching. Entitled “Every Cook Can Govern” the film aims to do justice to a lesser known hero. To support the project and get involved please email us.
