Wikipedia description:

Hal Draper (born Harold Dubinsky; September 19, 1914 – January 26, 1990) was an American socialist activist and author who played a significant role in the Berkeley, California, Free Speech Movement. He is known for his extensive scholarship on the history and meaning of the thought of Karl Marx and Marxian socialism. Draper was a lifelong advocate of what he called "socialism from below", that is, self-emancipation by the working class, in stark opposition to both capitalism and Stalinist or Bolshevik bureaucracy. He was one of the creators of the Third Camp tradition, a form of Marxist socialism emancipated from State apparatus.
