Asalamu Alaikum.
Brothers, Sisters, and Comrades, a lot of things have happened in my life over the last year and several months. SubhanAllah there has been the good and the bad, but mash’Allah I am still alive.
More importantly, our Arab brothers and sisters have reminded the world that the working class exists, the working class can fight, that Arabs deserve respect and dignity, that the Arab masses are capable of resisting en masse, and that revolution is not only possible, but necessary.
Ironically, sunhanAllah, just as my participation on this blog should have been skyrocketing, I found myself absent trying to figure out various things going on in my personal life.
In the interim period, I have started a new blog and followed the events in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Madison, Wisconsin closely.
Hopefully the people who read this blog have already learned to stay informed with the help of Socialist Worker.org and the ISReview.org as well.
There are too many articles to catch up on and try to share here, but please check out these sights for a Marxist analysis of the unfolding events. The actions and victories of our Brothers, Sisters, and Comrades in the Middle East and North Africa has been absolutely amazing. Mash’Allah they have stood up and fought back and demonstrated the capacity of working class people to organize themselves and to democratically work together, beyond boundaries of racism, sexism, and religious division to win the necessary battles to improve life for everyone. Alhamdulillah!
Please see the latest Issue of the international socialist review for in-depth analysis of the events in Egypt at is review.org.
Also, please see my new blog, speeches no one will ever hear.
I started it because I think that the events going on as I write this are radicalizing more and more people towards revolutionary politics. But with a weak Left in the US, many people here do not know how to begin down a road of revolutionary education. I hope my latest blog can help fill that void in whatever modest way possible. Insh’Allah.
