Why I Write?
My purposes of this site (a project that began in 2001 and has been undergoing several modifications over time) have been rather simple:
1. to maintain a blog of my own commentaries on matters of social significance
2. to maintain a website of my own published articles and feature stories that have been independently written apart from the blog, such as poetry, newspaper clips, documentaries, books, research articles etc.
3. to create a comprehensive database for academic discussion on Marxism and different strands of progressive activism. Some portions of it are written by me whereas others are edited
4. to publish articles (those originally written by me, and those credited to their original authors) on several personalities and movements associated with alternative media, radical politics and actions of resistance
5. to maintain a database of text, audio and video of progressive speeches, and movements & to make them easily accessible to the readers for better appreciation of alternative history
6. to become an easy reference for radical songs, poetry, photographs, art, and agitational literature (some works may not have been published elsewhere online and might have required hours of scanning and preservation)
What ways can this help?
I hope the materials provided here will be of some help to some of you who might have any of the following needs:
1. clarifications pertaining to Marxist writing, definition of terms used, clarifications about socialist countries, doubts regarding communist leaders
2. easy access to literature and materials (audio/video) that are not mass-produced because of their contents and historical circumstances (for example, works earlier published by Soviet Union were never made available to westerns scholars and readers and now their publications have been ceased)
3. alternative views on mainstream production of views
4. critical media scholarship, peoples history perspectives and independent analysis of the world we live in
