From the northeastern province of MoraZ<ln to the western hills of Chalatenango, the entire northern tier of the country has been the scene of coordinated guerrilla assaults on the forces ofthe U.S.-backed military/Christian Democratic junta. So far, insurgent advances contrast with the January "final/general" offensive that was called off after only ten days. But government troops and police are not the only obstacle facing rebel fighters-treacherous calls for negotia­ tions with sectors of the junta pose a dangerous roadblock to a left-wing victory on the battlefield. As rebel forces step up their attacks, Reagan continues to pour millions in weapons into thejunta'sarmory. Mean­ while, imperialist liberals have launched an offensive of their own, pleading for a "peaceful solution" to the civil war which has claimed 20,000 lives since January of last year. But the Reagan regime isn't buying. While supplying the junta colonels with Huey helicopters (,Of1linued on page 14 Cruz/Gamma Remember, this is the same Menachem Begin whose Irgun terrorists massacred hundreds of defenseless and unarmed Arab villagers at Deir Yassin in 1948 and whose planes routinely bomb defenseless Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon today.

  • In Defense of Communism Against Critical Pedagogy, Capitalism, and Trump
    Critical Education Volume 8 Number 1 January 1, 2017 ISSN 1920-4175 In Defense of Communism Against Critical Pedagogy, Capitalism, and Trump Curry S. Malott West Chester University of Pennsylvania Citation: Malott, C. S. (2017). In defense of communism: Against critical pedagogy, capitalism, and Trump. Critical Education, 8(1), 1-24. Retrieved from https://ices.library.ubc.ca/index.php/criticaled/article/view/186173 Abstract In this essay I challenge the anticommunism that has dominated critical pedagogy since its emergence in 1980, which coincided with imperialism’s somewhat successful counter-offensive against the global communist movement. It is within the context of the absence of communism and the communist movement that paved the way for the rise of Trump and the far right more generally. The anticommunism central to progressive forms of education, from a non-capitalist perspective, represents nothing less than the crossing of class lines. After outlining the major premises this work is grounded in, situated within a common debate between Marxism and Native studies, I review key responses to anticommunist propaganda. I then provide a brief history of the Soviet Union offering concrete responses to the anticommunism that has infected those of us on the educational left, especially in North America. I then offer a short discussion of the Black Panther Party as another example of the current relevance of the communist legacy in the United States and how this legacy has been systematically under attack. The text concludes with a brief summary of some of the core principles of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) as an example of a contemporary U.S.-based Marxist-Leninist communist party endowed with the necessary analysis and organizational structure to challenge capitalism and imperialism under a Trump presidency.
