I just put a new article on the Break Their Haughty Power web site
on the origins of Turkish communism in the early 1920's (following a trip
there in September). Perhaps it's a bit off topic for PEN-L;
if not,can you post an announcement?
This article is a joke:
Today, a vague mood of “anti-imperialism” is back, led by Venezuela’s
Chavez and his Latin American allies (Cuba, Nicaragua, Ecuador,
Bolivia), more or less (with the exception of Stalinist Cuba) classical
bourgeois-nationalist regimes. But Chavez in turn is allied, at least
verbally and often practically, with the Iran of the ayatollahs, and
Hezbollah, and Hamas, as well as newly-emergent China, which no one any
longer dares call “socialist”. The British SWP allies with Islamic
fundamentalists in local elections in the UK, and participates in mass
demonstations (during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, summer 2007)
chanting “We are all Hezbollah”. Somehow Hezbollah, whose statutes
affirm the truth of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, is now part of
the “left”; when will it be “We are all Taliban”? Why not, indeed?
