Joseph Carter (1910–1970) was the pseudonym of Joseph Friedman , a founding member of the American Trotskyist movement.
Friedman was expelled from the Young Communist League , the youth wing of the Communist Party of America , in 1929 for his Trotskyist sympathies. He became a charter member of the Trotskyist Communist League of America and with Emanuel Geltman and Albert Glotzer created Young Spartacus, the youth newspaper of the Communist league. [1] Friedman was the original editor of Labor Action, the official organ of the Workers Party , the organization established by James Burnham , Max Shachtman , and Martin Abern in April 1940 following their departure from the Socialist Workers Party . He was one of the originators of the theory of bureaucratic collectivism . He dropped out of political activity after World War II. [2]
