The truth about John McCain is not very pretty. You can start with the Iraq War, when he made the flippant comment that “as far as I’m concerned, we could be in there for 100 years.” The peace movement has been fighting for a timeline.

My feeling is exactly what I write in the article, which is to say, I am very hopeful, but I lack sufficient information to be more than hopeful. I wasn't saying that only others need more information, though many other people do, of course.

It is possible that the successes of the Left and progressive forces, the labor movement, Marxist parties, etc., helped preserve capitalism from its own contradictions.

Well, we set it up because I have finished two books. I have a book on Alice Neal that maybe you saw some reference to, and I just finished a novel that I started out for my grandson, years ago, and I finally completed it – it’s called Iron Mountain.

If I had to put it all together and lay out a scenario, I think we are facing years of a very weak and stumbling economy that will feel to many people like an extended recession, even if it is not formally one.

Former chair of the CPUSA Henry Winston.

Strategy for a Black Agenda first came out in 1973. The book was and remains a fundamental contribution to the struggle. The issues that Henry Winston raised centered on the unity of the class and national questions.

For working people, the long-term trend in the US has been toward greater inequality in wages, less job security, fewer pensions, and fewer people with healthcare. All these long-term trends are being further aggravated by the economic crisis the country is currently going through. How does this crisis manifest itself?

So far the campaign has shown, to any independent, intellectually astute observer, that there is currently no such thing as a free election in this country. Since Mr. Putin was appointed #1 in the electoral list, all the government’s administrative resources, all the power structures and ministries, are being used on behalf of his party’s campaign.

I have opinions, God knows, on language. This statement of Lessing’s is ridiculous. What Marxism did was to liberate language for millions of workers the whole world over, and still does to this day.

The earth will find a new way to have a balance and nature will survive, but the question is what will be the impact on humanity? In other words, we are doing this to ourselves, and if we want to improve life for ourselves, we’d better change the way we operate.

It was rather curious, that when Mr. Bush met with then Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, he expressed surprise that there were Black people in Brazil.

Religious conflict, interlocking with economic and political disputes, vastly intensified their destructiveness. That was what led me to start working on this book, which came late in my career.

All three nationalist movements in Bosnia and Herzegovina have practiced the same politics of ethnic cleansing during the war, although not with quite the same results. That is the basic reason why we think that this process of the court has been needless and politically harmful.

This book is unusual, you might almost call it an orphan, in that it was originally intended to accompany a television documentary project on the Reconstruction period. That was one of the reasons we started out saying there needs to be a strong visual component.

I look at Central America in the 1980’s as a testing ground for the coalition that stands behind George W. Bush. It was a place that brought together these different constituencies that stand behind the Bush doctrine, the pre-emptive warfare doctrine. Neo-conservatives, free marketeers, the Christian right and militarists: Central America was a place where they could run wild.
