Jim Farmelant says: That obit says that he was a member of the DSA when he was young. I don't think so, since the DSA didn't exist back then. More likely he was a member of the Socialist Youth League, which was the youth arm of Max Shachtman's Independent Socialist League. Jim is correct. He was a member of the Shachtman youth organisation then a member of the SWP youth organisation, organising the Revolutionary Tendency (Wohlforth, Mage & Robertson). This was expelled and organised themselves as an external tendency for a number of years before talks with Healy’s group in England started. As with anything touching on Healyism, Wohlforthism & Spartacicm, there is copious documentation for those with plenty of time on their hands!
