Dansk Vietnamesisk Forening stiftes “for at samle de forskellige fløje at Vietnambevægelsen i et fortsat solidaritetsarbejde, efter at Vietnam-krigen sluttede”. 1976vietnam.jpg

Dansk Vietnamesisk Forenings “første militante bomærke (til venstre) blev lavet af Dea Trier Mørch, og først i 1989 blev det erstattet af et mere fredeligt motiv lavet af Thomas Kruse. Begge billedkunstnere var medlemmer af det politiske kunstnerkollektiv Røde Mor.” (Citat fra foreningens site).

The CIA’s secret global war against the Left. By Branko Marcetic (Jacobin, November 30, 2020). “Forty-five years ago, under a cloak of secrecy, Operation Condor was officially launched: a global campaign of violent repression against the Latin American left by the region’s quasi-fascist military dictatorships.

The undead ghost of Operation Condor. By J. Patrice McSherry (Logos: A Journal of Modern Society & Culture, Vol.4, No.2, Spring 2005; online at Internet Archive). “Today, as shadowy U.S. forces use “disappearance,” torture, and illegal cross-border transfers of prisoners in the ‘war on terror’–practices that evoke Condor in the 1970s–an examination of Operation Condor and its methods is as instructive as it is unsettling.”

Hollywood blacklisted my father Dalton Trumbo: now I’m proud they’ve put him on screen (The Guardian, 16 January 2016). Elizabeth Day interviews Mitzi Trumbo.

Trumbo – The Hollywood witch hunt. By Gaetana Caldwell-Smith (Socialistaction.org, December 31, 2015). “Hopefully, word of mouth will encourage the general public to see this engaging film …”

The Blacklist in ”˜Trumbo’ didn’t just restrict free speech. It changed how we talk about freedom. By Andrew Paul (In These Times, December 15, 2015). “Trumbo misses the opportunity to tell a more faithful, radical narrative of cinema’s Red Scare and its resistors.”

Trumbo trivializes McCarthy terror. By John Bell (Socialist.ca, December 14, 2015). “… it is a shame that the makers of Trumbo chose to crank out a feel-good, Hollywood-friendly biography that ends up trivializing the McCarthy terror.”

Trumbo and the history of the Hollywood blacklist. By Fred Mazelis (World Socialist Web Site, 30 November 2015). “Trumbo, to be blunt, cannot be taken seriously as an examination of the fate of the American left … Nevertheless, this film does have certain significant saving graces. For that reason Trumbo’s appearance is important and timely.”

A witch-hunt victim’s revenge. By Elizabeth Schulte (SocialistWorker.org, November 18, 2015). “It’s a welcome turn of events when a communist – who in his day was vilified and imprisoned for his political commitment – is the affable hero of a Hollywood movie about the importance of civil liberties.”

Why “Trumbo” is one of the most important films ever made. By Louis Proyect (CounterPunch, November 6, 2015). “… [the] film is so head and shoulders over every American film made this year in terms of direction, screenplay, acting, incidental music, and costume design, it becomes one for the ages.”

The Happy Jack Fish-Hatchery Papers (Esquire, January 1970; online at The Unrepentant Marxist, March 17, 2016). “In which the Messrs. Steve Allen, Dalton Trumbo, and Art Schlesinger, Jr, debate the true meaning of liberalism.”

How Kirk Douglas overstated his role in breaking the Hollywood Blacklist. By John Meroney and Sean Coons (The Atlantic, July 5, 2012). “For years, the actor has taken credit for bravely hiring a communist screenwriter in the McCarthy era. But there have long been questions about his version of the story.”
