Strakon’s provisional list of righteous leftists
(Modern age: i.e., post-Emma Goldman)
My use of the word "righteous" may offend some, given that all of these people — insofar as they were of the Left — have held beliefs opposed to liberty and justice as we understand them. But it's the best adjective I've been able to come up with so far.
— Nicholas Strakon I exclude Ronald Radosh and David Horowitz despite their good anti-imperialist work long ago because they then went out and became neocons.
Robert Caro (The Years of Lyndon Johnson)Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair (CounterPoint)
Gabriel Kolko (despite his being horrified by the use that liberty people were making of his work)
Michael Parenti (establishment "coincidence theories" vs. dissidents' "conspiracy theories")
James Weinstein (The Corporate Ideal in the Liberal State)
Robert Paul Wolff (In Defense of Anarchism)
Outraged objections and proposals for additions are welcome. Ω
