Networking and politics

About me: I work in an academic environment in New England. My primary interest is the workers' movement. I have visited Mexico twice, and I would like to spend some extended time in Mexico City. Through the Web, I am fortunate to be in contact with comrades in Mexico City, London and Buenos Aires, as well as several US cities. If you have similar interests, it would be great to hear from you.

Listen, Marxist! - Murray Bookchin
Murray Bookchin's best-known leaflet, Listen, Marxist! was aimed predominantly at students influenced by the Maoist Progressive Labor Party which was heavily (and highly destructive) active in the mass Students for a Democratic Society movement in 1960s and 70s America. His criticisms of "Marxism" and Marxist terminology are not applicable to Marxism as a whole, but some do apply to the crude politics of the PLP. Despite this significant shortcoming, we reproduce the document here due to its importance in terms of the left and libertarian left in the US
