 The Russian Revolution and the Italian Left 1933-46 | International Communist Current
The "communist left" is to a very large extent the product of those sections of the world proletariat who posed the greatest threat to capitalism during the international revolutionary wave that followed the 1914-18 war: the Russian, the German, and the Italian.
This did not mean that the whole problem of state capitalism had been closed once and for all: in particular, the collapse of the Stalinist regimes at the end of the 1980s was to demand further reflection and clarification about the way the capitalist economic crises affected these regimes and brought about their demise.
The negative proof of this is provided by the trajectory of Trotskyism, whose defence of the USSR had contributed to their betrayal of internationalism during the war, and whose continued adherence to the thesis of the 'degenerated workers' state' turned them into apologists of the Russian imperialist bloc during the Cold War.

In the worst case of dashed expectations, the current Ecuadoran political mess follows the betrayal by colonel Lucio Gutiérrez of the Sociedad Patriotica, who initially took power in the famous January 2000 insurrection and then by election in early 2003, pretending to be a leftleaning populist sympathetic to indigenous people.

 MyStudios- Last Supper restored

In the centre is the coat of arms of the client, Ludovico Sforza combined with that of his wife Beatrice d'Este; on his right (the viewer's left) is the coat of arms of his first-born son Massimiliano and on his left that of his second-born son Francesco.
Bearing in mind that Ludovico had had the adjoining Church of S. Maria delle Grazie altered specifically as a last resting place for his family, then Leonardo's Last Supper is not merely an outstanding example of artistic innovation and creativity, but also a dynastic statement by his client.

 Palestine and the Geocentric Left : SF Indymedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The endorsement in the sixties of multicultural identity politics was a betrayal of the Left's rationalist and materialist roots, reflecting as it does a romantic fascination with the "noble savage" whose culture is superior to the hyper-civilized and boring advanced capitalist societies.

Just as the geocentric universe was sustained by faith, so too with the left: it has degenerated into an irrational cult whose creed is anti-Americanism, a prideful self-loathing that strangely coexists with a smug self-righteousness that would have made a witch-burning Puritan blush.

Wilby reveals more about what his own concept of 'being on the left' must mean than about the questions he purports to address.
He gives not so much as a hint of any consciousness of a left broad enough to embrace more than one view about the Iraq war, foreign policy, bringing down oppressive tyrannies, ending genocides in progress, humanitarian intervention, that sort of thing.
On the contrary, Wilby's left is delineated in terms of notions like 'betrayal' and 'deserting the cause'.
