Thank you for asking me a question. I do not lack interest in these groups, but I am a historian whose workload includes a great deal of teaching, so I spend my time mainly preparing university courses and writing up my historical research, plus translating historical documents. I have attended a few socialist conferences in Chicago, NYC, and London. The panels were interesting.

For the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, I was asked to translate and annotate leaflets I selected from various socialist parties in 1917. These were published serially on SocialistWorker.org and on John Riddell's blog. There was interest in publishing the leaflets in book form, so I translated other documents about organizing workers' militias and trade unions and compiled these into a book.
