PermalinkThanks for posting improved versions...
I helped but, wondered beside those, what ones are not finalized? I haven't looked and compared yet.
and for originals we have to look into English originals right?
I Have not compared them yet to to make it safe, I will start at the last ones that I glanced over and seemed not finalized but, correct me if I am incorrect.

PermalinkIn response to a B. who asked me for a feedback on the farsi translations, I went through a few and I found them very fluent, easy to read and understand. Well Done!
While I still cannot make a final conclusion about this site, I gather that Mike is an open-minded Maoist. Well, that doesn't have an effect on my approach to this site. I'm here to meet the socialist activists, not the ideologies; even though we inevitably get into theoretical debates.
Generally speaking, if this site is to promote that version of 'socialism', I might be in the wrong place.0 Like -
I'm glad to hear your appraisal of our Farsi translations.
I think it is fair to describe me as an open-minded Maoist -- (or let's say that I aspire to be open-minded and may succeed occasionally).
But it is worth adding that this is not my site alone. It started as my blog several years ago, but as a network congealed around it, we have created a moderator team and the Kasama Project is emerging as a communist organization.
I remain one of the main contributors and moderators of the site -- but my politics do not <em>define</em> the discussions here, and the views i put forward should not be assumed to be automatically the common positions of the Kasama Project as such.0 Like

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow and transformation of all existing social conditions. We are open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. We will not shrink from what we do know: the solutions cannot be found within the current world order or the choices it provides. We are for revolution. We seek to find the forms of organization and action for the people most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all humanity.
To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate, discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the rapid changes shaping the world around us. We need to sum up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts, victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements. We need to re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people and move mountains.
Dig in.
