I have just learned of the death of comrade Loren Goldner on April 12, aged 76. While we had intermittent email exchanges over the years he was a big influence on me in the mid-2000's as I was rethinking my commitment to the pretty conventional Trotskyist politics of my student days. He was a multilingual Intellectual and activist in the left-communist tradition. He was conservant in philosophy and economics. He wrote his PhD on Herman Melville (subtitled 'between Charlemagne and the ante mosaic cosmic man') and was part of producing the journal 'Race Traitor' and more recently 'Insurgent Notes.' He promoted the relevance of both Guy DeBord and Amadeo Bordiga. Lest that give the impression he was something of an academic - he toured the world studying working class movements, lecturing on Marx's critique of political economy, the 2nd International radicals - Lenin, Luxemburg and Trotsky. Over the decade he's dedicated his time to serious study (including travelling in East Asia) of the Chinese working class, who he felt, in many ways, held the future of the world in their hands.
