With the US and its mighty military machine stalled in Iraq, other nations of the world are finding ways to say no to US imperialism, especially China as PA contributing editor Gerald Horne argues in this issue. Our interview with Iran’s Tudeh Party (Workers’ Party) examines both the international context and domestic dynamics that surround the current confrontation between the US and Iran. Ron Bunyon’s cursory examination of the developing democracies in Africa shows the potential for Africa’s emergence as a global democratic leader.
On the US scene, Elena Mora dialogues with historian and activist Lisa Duggan on the so-called cultural questions and the aims of the far right that are behind them. PA contributing writer Owen Williamson suggest a few tactics for framing the message of the left in the struggle to defeat the agenda of the far right. Former NOW New York President Rita Haley tells PA about the importance of continuing the fight against the Bush agenda. Commentaries on the Social Security struggle and the fight to stop the back door draft inform us about important current issues. Phil E. Benjamin contributes to the ongoing debate in the labor movement by arguing that health and safety departments cannot be dismantled in order to save money. And, as always, poetry, a story, a marxist quiz, and much more makes this issue of PA worth your time.
In struggle,
PA Editors
