The basic problem I really have is that whenever I meet leftists in the socialist and Marxist movements, I'm called a individualist. [] I'm supposed to shrink after this— Usually I'm called individualist by students, and by academicians, who’ve never done a days work life [sic] in their entire biography, whereas I have spent years in factories and the trade unions, in foundries and auto plants. So after I have to swallow the word , I don't mind the word at all!
