Subject: Richard Greeman Intro:Hi!


Hello Marxism!
I'm new here and it sure is exciting (and a bit confusing) 
to join your discussion. Brief introduction: I've been an 
active socialist since the 1950's. Started in the ISL just 
as it joined the YPSL. Went to France as a student and 
joined "Socialism ou Barbarie." Also hung around the PSU 
(created out of old UGS). Anti-Algerian war stuff. Returned 
to U.S. and worked with "News & Letters" (Marxist Humanists) 
for 15 years or so (still am a sympathiser). Active in anti-
Vietnam war, civil rights, labor, SDS. Participated in 1968 
Columbia University revolt. Got jobs as French teacher.   
Was kicked out of Wesleyan for anti-war speech. Collected 
unemployment for two years under liberal Nixon. Translated 
novels of Victor Serge (Franco Russian writer and 
revolutionary 1890-1947). Now I'm working on a Serge 
biography. Finally got job at University of Hartford.Active 
locally with Central America Solidarity groups, etc. Write 
occasionally on Serge, Marxism, Russian and international 
questions for New Politics, Against the Current, 
International Socialism, Z and the local press. Latest 
project: "Books for Struggle: Sending Political Dynamite to 
Russia." Interested in state-capitalism discussion. Will 
attempt to post on both if I can make this machine obey.
	Please write me greeman-AT-uhavax.hartford.edu since I 
don't know how long I can stay subscribed and deal with so 
much incoming mail (I'm overdrawn on my VAX account) so will 
probably go "marxism-digest" soon as I'm leaving town.
