[lbo-talk] A Call for Submissions: Michael Harrington Symposium

[Bhaskar Sunkara]

He has some flaws that he himself admitted, for one he had some generational
discord with Tom Hayden and the New Left in the early 1960s, which he later
regretted and on Vietnam he openly supported by the late 1960s peace in
Vietnam through the withdrawal of US troops, instead of a more protagonist
stance towards the (deeply flawed of course) North Vietnamese forces.
He was also very militant in his anti-totalitarianism, which he never
apologized for of course, so apologists for the "real existing socialism"
despise that about him.

Maurice Isserman who will be contributing in this forum wrote a great
biography of him.
