Gioconda Belli: Bringing Back the Lusty Left
April 27, 2011"Because of the separation of women, we have created societies where we are cut in the middle. And when women have gone into public life they are forced to go into public life like men," says Gioconda Belli, Nicaraguan poet and author and former Sandinista revolutionary and later government member. Gioconda and her female comrades formed "The Party of the Lusty Left" in response to continued sexism by the revolutionary party.Thomas Frank, Gioconda Belli, and Oil Gouging
April 26, 2011"This is what's interesting in Wisconsin: I think that the Right may have picked a fight they can't win rhetorically," says Thomas Frank, who visited Wisconsin during the heat of the union battles this winter. He notes that Wisconsin was historically one of the most liberal states in the country, and the labor-liberal base there is fired up and ready to fight back.
