Well, I feel I should introduce myself to the list, since I've been asubscriber for two years. My name is Daniel Koechlin (my ancestors were German). I was born in 1976. Went to university, studied English, went to London, started a PhD on "Biblical and non-biblical sources of the Diggers' anti-authoritarianism in the English Civil War" which I never finished (although I did unearth an otherwise uninteresting Digger tract that was not in the Thomason collection). I subsequently spent six years in Suriname, Guyana and Venezuela (South America). I ended up a high school English teacher in France. My wife is Indian (from Bihar, Eastern India) and we have two kids. I speak French, German, English, Dutch, Spanish, Russian and Hindi. My first interest in politics came at the age of 17 after meeting Raoul Vanneigem, one of the founders of the Situationist movement (with Debord). I eventually grew bored with Situationist rhetoric and phraseology and read Marx, together with countless other authors with a "Council Communist" bias. I then became strongly involved in (Trade) Unionist activities and have been a staunch Union man ever since. This introduction is somewhat over-due, but here it is nonetheless. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
