SUMMARY:Comrade Eli Messinger
DESCRIPTION:The Marxist Education Project lost long-term comrade Eli Messinger today\, June 22\, 2018. \nThe published obituary is below. In the middle of obituary are these key sentences: “A tireless activist for a wide range of anti-war\, human rights\, and revolutionary social change efforts. Eli was a committed fighter with a great sense of humor.” \nEli joined The Marxist Education Collective in 1977 and worked more than tirelessly well into the 1980s. He never gave up interest nor lacked in support of the project to provide non-dogmatic non-sectarian Marxist education to as broad a public as possible. He was instrumental in establishing a Science Task Force at The New York Marxist School and did much to expand our focus on developments in science in classes\, forums and other key parts of our curriculum. \nAll of us at The Marxist Education Project express our sympathy to Eli’s family\, many friends and the wide world of comrades he selflessly shared his life with.  \nMESSINGER\, Eli Charles MD \nDied June 22\, 2018\, aged 81.Beloved husband of Barbara Barnes.
