Born and raised in New York, Donovan was deeply impacted by the gaping socio-economic inequality he witnessed on a daily basis, and was furthermore disenchanted with the arrogance and sense of privilege of the status quo, which had long dismissed his own discontent as an idealistic youthful stage one grows out of in adulthood. Through the eyes of ex-hippies turned yuppie commuters, Donovan seems to be having a real difficult time growing up the socially acceptable way. After much distress and discontent with mainstream channels of misinformation, Donovan finally stumbled upon the book Historical Materialism by Maurice Cornforth, and it transformed his life. Since that time, Donovan has worked hard to share the socialist egalitarian vision of the world with anyone unafraid to discuss the perils of class society, and how they may be rectified by a publicly owned, and rationally planned economy. Paul occasionally comments on the unprincipled politics of the two party system, and urges readers to swing to the left of the most "progressive" positions without getting too far ahead of the public's sensibilities. Current hobbies include paying the bills, racing the clock, trying my best to not be a hypocrite, and leading by example.
