When I left Vietnam in September 1971 after being in the Central Highlands for one year, I remember an event that I could only see its importance many years later. Three days before I left Vietnam at the out processing center in Cam Ranh Bay, I was with a couple of hundred soldiers who were also heading home from a war that was drenched in Lies. I was sleeping in one of the large barracks with a lot of other anxious people who just wanted out of this place. One of the things we had to wait for was the results of a piss test to determine if we had been using heroin while in Vietnam. If you tested positive, you had to stay in Vietnam for another 2-3 weeks to be detoxed. It was obviously a temporary shake and bake treatment that would only last until they got home, where they would no doubt continue the assault on destroying their lives with a drug that was having a powerful impact on the morale of American troops in Vietnam. While I was in Vietnam, I saw

This poster depicts a Russian woman holding the Soviet flag, with the caption: “Emancipated women – build up socialism”. The artist A. Strakhov-Bratislavskij created this poster in 1926 for the government of the Soviet Union (Global Fund for Women). After the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, men and women were proclaimed equal by the Soviet government. Women were greatly desired by the Soviet government, and not only for raising children. The Soviets saw women as an economic asset that they believed would make a great contribution to the nation. As a result, the numbers of women in the workforce doubled from 423,200 in 1923 to 885,000 in 1930 (Goldman). For the past year, I have been doing my best to study about the Great October Socialist Revolution (GOSR) on the centennial anniversary of that groundbreaking and historic event. As a child of the Cold War, the lies I was told, indeed we all were told, about the Soviet Union take my breath away. When so many of us are trying t

Owen, California  Socialist League/Liga Socialista de California. *********************************** On November 7 we celebrate the October Socialist Revolution which, one hundred years ago, overthrew not only the last in a series of Russian Provisional Governments, but the capitalist class on whose behalf it continued to wage, and lose, the First World War: what can we learn from it and from what became of the state to which it gave birth? The first thing to note is that it did put an end to capitalism on most of the territory of the Russian state: because it did not expand into Germany and beyond, it retained its fundamentally Russian character, despite Lenin's campaign to break up Russia, resulting in the alienation of one-third of its territory from Russia to found a multinational Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Lenin wanted to go further, but Stalin, the Commissar of Nat
