John Peterson: The Spanish Revolution 70 Years Later
On November 13, 2008 at Mayday Books in Minneapolis, Graeme and I, attended a forum on the Spanish Civil War. The speakers included this blog team member John Peterson, talking about the Trotskyist position on the war. In addition an anarchist and moderator spoke.
A good movie to see about the Spanish Civil War is Ken Loach's Land and Freedom, based on George Orwell's Homage To Catalonia. In addition Bertolucci's 1900 deals with lessons similar to those of the Spanish Civil War.

John founded the Workers Int'l League and is the national chairperson of the Hands Off Venezuela group in the US. He lives currently in the Twin Cities. Peterson is also a percussionist and future mixed martial arts fighter.Renegade Eye
