“Det er vanskeligt at adskille hans impasses og nederlag fra hele det revolutionære venstres i de sidste fyrre år; den vestlige revolutions forhåbninger og nederlag har i ham, som i få andre, ikke et vidne eller en historiker, men et enestående sammenløbspunkt …”
Jean-Paul Sartre’s existential Marxism shows how we can make our own history. By Sam Coombes (Jacobin, May 26, 2023)

Jean-Paul Sartre took a stand against Empire. By Oliver Gloag (Jacobin, August 20, 2021)

Jean-Paul Sartre: between existentialism and Marxism. By James Plested (Red Flag, 20 June 2021)
“While neither his early ‘pure’ existentialism nor his later existentialist brand of Marxism is compelling, his status as among the most committed left-wing public intellectuals of the twentieth century is worth celebrating. His consistent radicalism and activist orientation in the post-war period place him far above most of today’s intellectuals.”

Jean-Paul Sartre: A critical tribute. By Istvan Meszaros (Socialist Register, Vol.12, 1975, p.1-47)
“Jean-Paul Sartre is seventy: what does he mean to us? He is a man who lived half his life in the limelight of extreme notoriety … no writer in his life-time has been the target of so many attacks, from the most varied and rather powerful quarters, as Jean-Paul Sartre. What are the reasons? How should we approach the work of this man: our contemporary?”
Sartre’s political practice. By Rossana Rossanda (Socialist Register, Vol.12, 1975, p.48-74)
“Sartre’s political actions, rather than his political thinking, are the subject of these notes: the way he has judged the history through which he has lived, how he chose sides, and why, the people he allied himself with, and those he allies himself with today.”

“Sartre’s politics and his whole world view are radically different from those of International Socialism, and there is little point in pretending that they are not, though equally the common view of Sartre as a naive fellow-traveller with Stalinism must be challenged.”

- The hesitation waltz. By Ben Watson (Radical Philosophy, Issue 129, January/February 2005, p.42-45)
“Given his politics, the aspect of Sartre which causes Birchall grief is his vacillating relationship to the French Communist Party (PCF): the ‘against Stalinism’ of his title is deliberately tendentious.” - Reclaiming Sartre. By Rebecca Pitt (International Socialism, Issue 102, 2004, p. 132-43)
