Peter Schiff on CNBC-Live Editorials AGITATE71 3258 11/11/2008 22:48
Peter Schiff, an economic adviser for Ron Paul, talks to CNBC about an Obama presidency the day before the election.
Crisis in the Caucasus Editorials daschaich 1791 09/19/2008 22:36
How should Socialists address ethnic conflict abroad? We can play a positive role by aligning not with any nation, but only with working people throughout the world.
Review of "Revolution in the Air" by Max Elbaum Book Reviews daschaich 1948 07/12/2008 23:38
A solid history of the New Communist Movement, interesting from historical and "leftist trainspotting" perspectives.
Review of "Kronstadt 1917-1921" by Israel Getzler Book Reviews daschaich 3187 07/11/2008 03:46
Getzler's 1983 history of "Red Kronstadt", a town and naval base outside St. Petersburg, is a valuable look at a vibrant multi-party Soviet democracy, which flourished from the February 1917 Revolution until it was strangled by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The famous 1921 "Kronstadt uprising" is explained as nothing more than a desperate attempt to restore the revolutionary democracy of 1917.
Review of Jack London's "The Iron Heel" Book Reviews daschaich 3108 06/27/2008 03:51
It's been 100 years since this dystopian novel of plutocratic oppression was first published. Although often described as a socialist novel, London's conflicted work reveals more about its author than anything else.
Anatomy of a Successful Antiwar Movement Editorials PeopleUnite 2693 06/23/2008 05:02
by Matthew Andrews

This summer there will be a National Assembly to End the Iraq War and Occupation in Cleveland, Ohio (http://natassembly.org). One of the main goals of the assembly will be to lay the groundwork for mass action against the war. At first glance, 2008 seems like an unlikely year to jump start a sluggish antiwar movement. With the elections this fall, the political pressure to line up behind the Democratic Party’s slate of candidates is already peeling away our fair weather friends from those of us who are serious about building an independent antiwar movement.

Review of "10 Steps to Repair American Democracy" by Steven Hill
When I talked with a friend about these proposals, he immediately commented: "There isn't really anything socialist about [them], is there?" The unspoken implication I picked up was that by supporting them I was skirting reformism, considered a Bad Thing by many on the radical left.

Review of "Build It Now" by Michael Lebowitz
"Build It Now" is a collection of seven short essays discussing some basic concepts of Marxism, democratic socialism, and recent events in Venezuela. While each essay is generally decent on its own -- well-written and often thought-provoking -- they are not well integrated into a coherent whole.

Review of "The Conscience of the Revolution" by Robert Daniels
Though some might be inclined to sneer at "The Conscience of the Revolution" as a study of petty factionalism and sectarianism on the left, Daniels argues eloquently that studying the Communist opposition sheds light into both why Stalinism emerged from the October Revolution and that there were other alternatives.

What do you think of Chavez's Fifth International?

It's the best thing since sliced bread!

It has potential, but I'm reserving judgment.

Shouldn't this be, like, the Seventh or Eighth International?

It's doomed. Doomed, I say!

What? Never heard of it.

@SocRed15 Rebuilding offers plenty of room for recorruption. Cleaning out house the house would be plenty easier.
