  • The Old Mole and New Mole Files!)
    1 “LENINST BOOMERS” BUILD “THE FIFTH INTERNATIONAL”: THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE LABOR COMMITTEE (PLUS THE OLD MOLE AND NEW MOLE FILES!) Introduction: This series of FactNet posts provides the most detailed look at the early history of the NCLC from LaRouche‟s leaving the SWP in late 1965 to the major faction fight inside the organization in 1971. The files focus most on the early NCLC in two key cities, New York and Philadelphia. However there is some mention of the NCLC group in Baltimore as well as a detailed picture of the early European organization. As part of the research, LaRouche Planet includes two detailed series of posts by Hylozoic Hedgehog (dubbed “the Old Mole Files” and “the New Mole Files”) based on archival research. Much of the discussion involves the proto-LaRouche grouping and its role in SDS, the Columbia Strike, and the New York Teachers Strike in New York as well as the group‟s activity in Philadelphia. Finally, this series of posts can also be read as a continuation of the story of LaRouche and the NCLC begun by the “New Study” also posted on LaRouche Planet which covers LaRouche‟s history from his early years in New Hampshire and Massachusetts to his relocating to New York City in the early 1950s and his activity inside the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party (SWP) until he left the SWP in late 1965. WAYBACK to 1966: How it all began The Free University and CIPA: Origins of the SDS Labor Committees. (More notes from the archives) ―For two years, beginning during the Summer of 1966; the Marcus class at a ramshackle New York Free School premises on New York City's 14th Street was the motor for the growth of a tiny group, the hard core of the future Labor Committees.‖ -- From: The Conceptual History of the Labor Committees by L.

  • A Conversation with Myra Tanner Weiss
    American Trotskyism’s ‘Anarchobolshevik’ A Conversation with Myra Tanner Weiss Myra Tanner Weiss, a prominent figure in the American Trotskyist movement through the 1940s and 50s, died in a nursing home in Indio, California on 13 September 1997 at the age of eighty. She had been the organizer of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) five-branch Los Angeles local for a decade, a member of the party’s National Committee from 1944 to 1963, a three-time SWP candidate for vice-president of the United States, and, for many years, served as the only female full member of its Political Committee (PC). In her 20 September 1997 obituary the New York Times described her a “fiery speaker” who: “cut a stylish figure in leftist circles—a small, attractive woman who was always immaculately turned out, generally in a well-cut suit of lush material run up by her husband’s tailoring family.” Myra joined the Trotskyist movement 1935, while at university in Salt Lake City. She soon moved to California where she participated in a union organizing drive to sign up agricultural and cannery workers. In 1942 she married Murry Weiss. The young couple, who were among the most dynamic people in the SWP at the time, ran the party’s Los Angeles local during most of the 1940s. Under their leadership the LA branch was not only the liveliest, but also, by the end of the decade, the largest. It was also the party’s chief source of young recruits. In addition to serving as Los Angeles district organizer, Myra was also the group’s main public figure, running for mayor in both 1945 and 1949.
