So spoke Leon Trotsky after one of Macdonald's attacks on "the old man" for his role in Kronstadt. Writer, editor, publisher, intellectual street fighter, and intermittent political activist, Macdonald was a quintessential American rebel, a native-born dissident individualist but at various times a socialist, a Trotskyist, a pacifist, and an anarchist.
