Re: [marxmail] GOP Still Wants to Pretend the Preservation of Slavery Wasn’t a Major Reason for the American Revolution - CounterPunch.org

M. Meeropol points out that the southern planter class were the wealthiest Colonials pre-revolution.  AFAIK, the fortunes of the great families of England dwarfed those of the southern planters much as the southern planters originally dwarfed the northern merchants and manufacturers.  It's

Tippett's political leanings have been known to one degree or another for some time, at least since his 1991 autobiography. This article, from 2011, provides a little more detail. https://www.marxists.org/history/etol/revhist/backiss/vol7/no1/plant.html -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io

Re: [marxmail] post-Bernie DSA future

It's interesting this article ignores the rigging of the primaries against Bernie by the Democratic Party establishment, first by DWS, and others associated with Hillary Clinton, in 2016, then by Obama after Nevada, during the 2020 cycle. Many of us on the left question whether Bernie really

Re: [marxmail] GOP Still Wants to Pretend the Preservation of Slavery Wasn’t a Major Reason for the American Revolution - CounterPunch.org

This has proved to be a productive discussion. The American Revolution hasn't been a major focus of my interest for years, and I particularly found David Walters' learned discussion of the recent arguments behind the misassessment of the American Revolution an excellent update. What has been my

[marxmail] Is Trotskyist history writing in crisis?

The crisis of the Revolutionary History journal is the crisis of history writing in the Trotskyist movement. This does not mean, of course, that Trotskyist comrades can’t produce excellent work but rather that the theoretical capacities and confident political culture needed to consistently

Thanks for posting the review, Louis. The review of Menard's book was so thorough I don't really know whether to try to read it --- It might be interesting but it sounds pretty "Quixotic" in terms of the idiosyncrasies of the author -- The ballet book, on the other hand, seems really good
