Welcome to Marxism International!
Welcome to Marxism International, a site devoted to issues of labor and contemporary politics. I hope you find my blog informative and worthwhile.
Marxism-International began life as a mailing list at the University of Virginia back in 1996. We moved to Emory three years later, and left there in early 2004. In both instances, political differences led to a parting of ways. In Emory’s case, it was our ardent defense of Adolfo Olaechea, arrested in Spain on an Interpol warrant charging him with being part of the “general command” of Peru’s Shining Path. Incidentally, Adolfo had been, prior to his arrest and extradition (see Links), a co-moderator of M-I, a position which I also held as one of a trio of co-founders. Reincarnated here, Marxism-International retains the flavor of the original while continuing to grow in new and fruitful directions. Personally speaking, I remain in close touch with Comrade Olaechea - now under virtual house arrest in Lima - and consider him one of the most prescient and original thinkers of our time.
