I've just been informed (by someone who wants to remain anonymous)
that Barbara Epstein resigned from the board of MR because of the
nonsense that Yoshie has been posting to MRZine about Iran. When she
made her complaints known to the board, they made it clear that they
supported Yoshie's work, so Epstein felt that she had no choice but to
quit. She's not interested in campaigning against what she still
regards as a venerable institution, but she feels that Yoshie's
position on Iran has so discredited the organization that she couldn't
abide a formal association anymore.
Though I'm just the messenger on this, I completely agree with
Epstein. Defending a regime that has jailed and killed thousands of
socialists and Marxists is a disgraceful thing for a socialist/Marxist
publication to do.
