The SWP (which Marcy was originally in) was an interesting crew. I once sat and read position papers from none other than Lyndon LaRouche (under his party name Lyn Marcus).

The Trotskyists were, well, unbelievable. There was even a faction that had a political "line" on UFOs.

These guys inhabit a world that I cannot describe.

Clark is a free-lance guy. His politics seem to be populist with a Marxist DSA tinge. Becker is an ass.

You see from the article the odd juxtaposition of factions the WWP helped cobble together then.

Lenni, well, he's obsessed with Zionism during the pre-founding period. I'll let it go at that. Met him once at a Socialist Scholars conference in NYC 1990. He's everything you can imagine, and more. Ugh.

I forgot I know all this crap.

Maybe some think-tank should give me a job. It'll certainly validate all those years guzzling beers while reading weighty tomes, and behaving like a thug on campus.

You should have seen some of the women I dated at the time.

Yeah, a job would be payback for my suffering.
