P. K. Gandakin
P. K. Gandakin is a communist, writer, and organizer who lives in New York.
His theoretical interests lie in understanding theory as a practice and the continued vitality of Marx and Lenin in the current period. Additional interests primarily include: Soren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, the critique of the philosophy of science, and Marxist political action.
His organizational history involves the CPUSA and the DSA, but he is a vagabond at heart.
