Louis Proyect: I Have Always Identified with People Trying to Change Things

Louis Proyect, who died this week, spent the 1980s organizing international delegations of technical workers to support the Nicaraguan revolution. In this previously unpublished interview, he reflects on Central American solidarity efforts and a life lived on the Left.

Never heard of him but reading that article gives me an amazing insight into what I already know about the left.

They think they mean well but their mentality of constantly trying to change things is actually more of a disease than a help.

Obsessed with change. All change. It's in their blood. Not always for the better.

Leave people alone.

We lost another good friend today in Louis N. Proyect. Lou was a fighter and we had our fights over the years and I enjoyed most of them, even though he bloodied me up a couple of times."

sounds like a lovely guy!

Much of our progress is technology based. Commie stupidly had nothing to do with it.
