Sam Marcy, one of the leading Marxist thinkers of the
post-World War II era, is a founder of Workers World Party.
Since 1959
when the first issue of Workers World newspaper was published, Marcy has become
known internationally for his application of Marxism to contemporary issues.
Marcy's
penetrating analyses have made his writings widely demanded. Selections of his
works have been translated into many languages, including Spanish, Farsi,
Turkish, Korean, French and German.
Marcy's works are some of the most
important contemporary Marxist writings on the Cold War era and the rise of the
powerful military-industrial complex, the revolutionary civil rights struggles
of the 1960s, the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War, the economic forces
behind capitalist down sizing, the impact of the scientific-technological
revolution and a revolutionary working class strategy to fight back.
Of
course, in the best Marxist tradition, Marcy was not only a thinker and writer.
He was also an organizer and activist. For example, Marcy was a leading
organizer of the first demonstration in the United States against the Vietnam
War.
Marcy's writings from 1959 to 1995 are being prepared for the World
Wide Web.
