Just to let readers of Lou’s Blog know: Lou made arrangements for WordPress to host this site as a Premium blog up till May 2022.
After that time, Unrepentant Marxist will be available, for all time according to WordPress.com, at the following address https://louisproyect.wordpress.com/, while the address you normally use, https://louisproyect.org will no longer function. From now until May 2022 both links will work equally well. After May 2022, whatever Premium features Lou used in his blog posts will not be available. I will try to sort out if such Premium features are in use.

Thank you for this update I was worried about this.

Any idea why the Vimeo videos that Louis made don’t work on the site anymore?

I appreciate your willingness to manage this.
As a more than occasional reader of Louis’s posts during these trying times, I’d feel a bit lost without being able to tune into hefty doses of sanity. Bill in VA

It is one o’clock in the morning here in Britain, and about fifteen minutes ago I read that Louis Proyect is dead. I am shocked and saddened.
I discovered this blog in 2018 or 2019. It was something I turned to occasionally when I wanted something different and diverting to read. It was a pleasure to read Louis’s articles. I agreed with much of what he wrote.
I had not looked at this blog for a few months, and it suddenly occurred to me this evening that I would like to read what Louis had to say about recent events in the world. Then I found, to my dismay, that he is no longer with us. He was a good’un. He was on the right side. I, man in Britain in his early 60’s, have lost a comrade. I will miss his contributions.
