Losing one of the good guys

Just before heading away, I learn of the death of Maurice Brinton of Solidarity, a group that has had a strong influence on my political thinking over the years (christ, how fucking pompous does that sound?) and which exposed me to the anarchist-communist/lib-soc works of Cornelius Castoriadis. I'll post more when I get back from my holidays, but there are comments and obits already out there, namely here and here.
