[Marxism] Very Illuminating Discussion of Iraqi Politics and History

["M. Junaid Alam" <mjunaidalam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Interview excerpts with 3 Iraqi trade union leaders commenting on the
Iraqi political situation with respect to elections, resistance, and
occupation, complemented by a full interview with a US historian about
the history of nationalism and communism in the country. Definitely
important to listen to given the kind of information vacuum and nebulous
understanding we have about the dynamics of the situation on the ground
there.
