...MAJORITY opinion overlooks much of what has actually happened in Central America over the past six years. Consider the last two years of the Carter Administration--El Salvador descended into a bloody civil war a revolution in Nicaragua was followed by a ruthless purging of non-Sandinista revolutionaries, and the resultant junta set out to militarize the Nicaraguan people on a soul never before seen in Central America, except possible in Soviet-supported Cuba. Considering the last four years in comparison. We are extremely skeptical of the flippant dismissal of the Reagan approach as "peace destroying...
...Salvador the case for Reagan progress is even more clear. True, there has been a horribly bloody civil war there for the past five years and American policy there historically has not helped the cause of peace or reform, but there is no guarantee that a different Reagan policy would have changed this for the better.

They try to crush students who mobilize against the architects of an anticommunist bloodbath in Central America because when they look at EI Salvador and Nicaragua, they see the possibility of the Russian Revolution happening all over again. They see the overthrow of capitalism, the ripping away of their markets, their profits, an end to the despotic rule of the landlords, bosses, military, and the specter of workers and peasants taking power--as was done in 1917 in Russia under the leadership...
Here at home we fight to win students to the side of the working class. From Sharpeville to. San Salvador to Detroit, the lines are drawn. And while Harvard continues to drape its butchers in academic robes and make mass murder "respectable." we will continue to mobilize students to take a side with workers and peasants throughout the world.
