Mansa is joined by Comrade Elizabeth to discuss how the bulk of the international Marxist left failed the test posed by the US bombing of Iran. Instead of taking a clear and simple stand in defense of an oppressed country under attack by imperialism, most tendencies, including within Iran, either shouted revolution and class war, equated Iran with Israel and the US, or chanted pacifist slogans that drew no line against their own bourgeoisies... yet they all carry on convinced that they did the right thing.
