Talk:James J. Martin (historian)

anarcho-capitalist?

Are you sure he was an anarcho-capitalist? I see it said that he was an "individualist anarchist" influenced by Tucker. [1] RJII 06:04, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

"criticism"/Miller

I'm not sure why there is a paragraph on Miller's The Crucible. Lots of people have published criticism; was this a major aspect of Martin's career? Otherwise it seems wholly un-notable. Moreover, it's uncited -- where is this criticism? And it's unintelligible -- I can't tell if Martin said that the protagonist was not heroic, and he was not heroic because; or if he said that the protagonist was heroic, but for two reasons. I'm deleting the paragraph from the text and putting it here for someone else to work with. It includes my minor rewrite for clarity in the first half of the paragraph, and my {{cn}} template.

He also published criticism. For instance, of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, Martin said that John Proctor is not heroic merely because he points the finger at himself, but because his story allows him to point out the evil in his environment, the enemy of man's freedom, here the repressive structures of society that would take a man's name.Undercutting his credibility? Maybe just undercutting his popularity in some circles. Can you supply some links as to his holocaust thoughts? He may be a good source - why did he and others think that the holocaust was being used as a cover/deversion for WW2? I hope WW2 wasn't a "preemptive" strike against Germany et al - some preWW2 writings seem to suggest that we ( the Allies) were hunting for a reason - wiki occasionally hits a homer.159.105.80.141 (talk) 19:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
