about me
"If you wish to bake a pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." Carl Sagan

"Between the saints as the church paints them and the devils as the candidates for sainthood portray them, there are to be found living people. And it is they who make history." Leon Trotsky

"Reactionary epochs like ours not only disintegrate and weaken the working class and its vanguard but also lower the general ideological level of the movement and throw political thinking back to stages long since passed through. In these conditions the task of the vanguard is above all not to let itself be carried along by the backward flow: it must swim against the current. If an unfavourable relation of forces prevents it from holding political positions it has won, it must at least retain its ideological positions, because in them is expressed the dearly paid experience of the past. Fools will consider this policy "sectarian." Actually it is the only means of preparing for a new tremendous surge forward with the coming historical tide."

Leon Trotsky. "Stalinism vs Bolshevism" (August 1937)

If Israel Were Cuba

By Steven Argue

The U.S. has carried out terrorism against Cuba, including CIA operative Luis Posada Carriles blowing-up a civilian airliner, Cubana flight 455, killing all 73 people on board. The U.S. shelters this terrorist from justice.
