User:Carrite



My name is Tim Davenport (b. 1961), bringing over my screen name "Carrite" from Wikipedia. Reference is to E.H. Carr, pioneering historian of the early Soviet Union par excellence, in case anyone is wondering. My user page there, with a pretty vast listing of links to my contributions, is HERE.

I'm an unaffiliated Left Social Democrat politically, a petty capitalist professionally, and historian of the left avocationally. I'm a committed Wikipedian dedicated to the doctrine of Neutral Point of View and believe that (Verifiability + Veracity) is the necessary standard for inclusion in an encyclopedia. I am an outspoken critic of certain administrative and commercial abuses of WP by some members of its well connected inner circle.

My website is called Early American Marxism, www.marxisthistory.org/

I'm a volunteer at the non-sectarian Marxists Internet Archive (MIA) for a number of years now and an active member of Historians of American Communism (HOAC). My recent work has been with a small circle of lefties working in support of Marty Goodman's Riazanov Library Digitization Project, which has made pdfs of a wide array of Marxist publications available on the internet.

I'm co-editor of a documents collection on the Lovestoneites with Paul LeBlanc, currently in house at Brill. Paul indicates that a paperback version will eventually follow from Haymarket Books of Chicago.

I like cold ale, spicy cigars, and friendly dogs.
