I have set up this blog to post materials pertaining to the history of the Socialist Workers Party of the United States. Unless otherwise noted, I am the author of these materials. I will post items written during the period of my participation in the SWP during the 1960s and 1970s, as well as more recent items pertaining to that period. I will occasionally make very minor changes to the text. Any substantive changes will be noted.

The response from the right was typical.
