I am a rank and file union militant and a revolutionary socialist. I am a member of the International Socialist Organization (though the views posted in this blog are entirely my own, unless otherwise stated). Though I consider myself a part of the International Socialist tradition, I am influenced by revolutionaries of other tendencies such as CLR James, Martin Glaberman, Harry Braverman, and Ernest Mandel. I believe in a Marxism that is open, critical, revolutionary and democratic.
