... quite so, I knew Rita through Central America activism when I lived in Seattle in the 80s, although apparently she and Ed had broken up as she was no...
I had a delightful 1 hour discussion on the phone with Rita as she was donating some papers from Ed to the Holt Labor Library.j She's still quite active. I...
I thought it was Carleton College (also in Northfield, MN) which produced Barnes and a circle around him. I also seem to remember the Northites made this out...

... Are there any members of the P&F Party except hardened revolutionaries, either belonging to parties or not?...
Yes, Louis, there are. The majority of members are not members of any particular group. Of course you have to look at two ways: 1. Regitrants. About 45,000 I...
Calling for unity can be a call for unity . . . or it can be a meaningless mantra. PFP has been calling for this for a long time. Every once in a while...
You missed the uptake. We all know about Carleton College and Barnes. When the factoid was made that there's another college in the same town, St. Olaf's,...
As I see it, the issue involved was a belief that the Dobbs-Kerry leadership was abstentionist, that it emphasized propaganda over exploiting openings for...
When I first starting getting the Militant, but before I joined the YSA, I remember reading circa March 68 this two page sectarian polemic against the Peace &...
Rita was expelled and was a member of the Fourth Internationalist Tendency, which is how I got to know her. However, I think she had broken up with Ed long...
Unfortunately, the FIT had no line in the Labor Party, as the FIT had ceased to exist five years before the Labor Party's founding convention. However, it's...
In 1968 the P&F was "new leftist" at best. Only Tom Condit, who died 2 years ago and former SPer in NY, opposed the nomination of Eldridge Cleaver for the Pres...
Point taken. It was that as many went into Solidarity then...I don't know if Frank did, but Steve Bloom remains a member, they 'hung out together'. During the...
Murry Weiss was moving towards the FSP at the end of his life. He had his own small group at that point. FSP sells one of his last writings and honors him as...
I agree with this assessment, but would have to extend it here to California. What does the PFP party mean here in California. Mostly it is an afterthought, or...
Somebody on here was talking about the PFP unity initiative some years back and I had encountered them enough to approach them. They told me that I'd be on...

Thanks for the correction. I believe I got the impression that he died before he joined by a misreading of some reference to him of the FSP website. Murry was...

I think so. The first things I thought of when I read Mark L's comments about Scandinavian-Minnesotans was Marge Gunderson (the sheriff in Fargo) and the Rose...
Ah, I see, David. I obviously wasn't there for the discussions you were having with the PFP, and therefore would not suggest that your memory of the...
No, Mark, I'm giving you a very technical response as I was at two of the meetings and the "P&F" meme didn't come up in the way you describe it. And, IMO, this...
