The Left in Iraq
Rounding
Out Iraq's History
By
RON JACOBS
I just read a news report from Ramadi,
Iraq that detailed an armed takeover of a hospital there by US
forces. It seems that there was an explosion in the town and
the soldiers invaded the hospital, interrupting medical care,
including a caesarian section, and holding some of the staff
at gunpoint. As most anybody who follows the occupation of Iraq
knows, Ramadi is a stronghold of rebel resistance. Meanwhile,
I'm reading a new history of Iraq recently published by Haymarket
Books that describes the history of the workers and popular anti
imperialist movements in Iraq, especially that of the Iraqi Communist
Party. The sad story of that party's collaboration with its
enemies can only lead me to wonder how the Iraq situation might
have been quite different if the communist movement's history
had also been different.
The People's History of Iraq: The Iraqi
Communist Party, Workers' Movements, and the Left 1924-2004, by Ilario Salucci, is a brief introduction
to the ups and downs of leftist popular movements in Iraq since
the end of the First World War. Because of the dominant role
it plays in this history, much of the book concerns itself with
the Iraqi Communist Party (ICP). Salucci provides a general
overview of this party and its various splits and policy decisions.
Like that of many other communist parties, it is a tale of divisions
and realignments, some which are dependent on the world communist
movement and some that aren't. Unlike many other communist parties,
the story Salucci unveils in these pages is the story of a party
that seems to misunderstand the will of its potential base not
once or twice, but constantly. The Iraqi Communist Party is
a party whose history is one of repeated growth followed by state
repression, than by factionalization and then, open collaboration
with the same state that repressed it.
To its credit, the party and
the other leftist groupings in Iraq have been a consistent voice
for the rights of women. In addition, the Iraqi Left's understanding
of the role British and US imperialism played in Iraq's development
was fundamental to their analysis until the current occupation
of their country. This understanding enabled the Party to gain
a hearing and, at times, a substantial amount of support among
the Iraqi population. Unfortunately for all concerned, the Party
today is but an appendage to the US occupation. What this means
in real terms is that the ICP sees the US-installed regime as
the source of power in Iraq, not the people who live and work
there. This analysis has made them enemies of many Iraqis both
in and out of the resistance. However, according to Salluci's
history, this approach is standard operating procedure for the
ICP. Given that, it is no wonder that the ICP has never enjoyed
overwhelming support.
Even during the years immediately
following the 1958 July Revolution, when the Free Officers' movement
overthrew the British-installed monarchy and began progressive
land reforms and other socialist-oriented programs, the ICP failed
to consider the workers and peasants their base and ultimately
sealed their fate by not organizing these elements of Iraqi society.
Instead, they took a more timid path and refused to demand changes
that might offend the nationalist bourgeoisie-the same bourgeoisie
that was consolidating its power at the expense of the workers
and peasantry. This insight is but one aspect of this revolution
provided by Salucci. The discussion of this period in Iraq's
history is quite valuable since very little is understood about
it in the West. Furthermore, most of what has been available
in the West has not been favorable to the Free Officers and their
allies.
The tales of bloody repression
and internal revolts told throughout this history prove that
Iraq does indeed have a bloody history, but that the bloodiness
stems from the nation's colonial legacy, not from the so-called
Arab mind, or any other Orientalist fantasy. This is one of
the text's most valuable contributions to the Left's understanding
of Iraqi history. For the reader not of a leftist persuasion,
the facts presented here are important not only in their presentation,
but also in their presentation from a viewpoint that is neither
Washington's view or Baghdad's (although today that distinction
is much less than at most other periods in Iraq's history.)
Besides the actual text, there are several appendices, including
speeches and a very valuable timeline of Iraq's history from
a left perspective.
In terms of recent history,
the descriptions of the 1991 popular rebellions after Hussein's
defeat by the US military are quite interesting and informative.
Salluci reveals not only the breadth of this uprising, but also
Washington's complicity in repressing it. Once again, one is
left wondering what might have happened if this uprising had
been allowed to take its course. Instead, the Iraqis are left
with a tattered country under a brutal occupation and a resistance
quite susceptible to influences that do not necessarily have
what's best for the Iraqi people in mind.
After reading A People's
History of Iraq, I was reminded once again of the mistakes
inherent in a political analysis that does not stem organically
from the people, but comes instead from an ideology that while
generally appropriate, lacks local flexibility. Meanwhile, the
Iraqis live with the consequences. This text is not only important
to understanding Iraq's past and present; it is also useful in
understanding what might be useful to its (and ours) future.
