Martin Glaberman (December 13, 1918 – December 17, 2001) was an American Marxist writer on labor, historian, academic, and autoworker.
Glaberman was associated with the Johnson-Forest Tendency, a radical left group which understood the Soviet Union as a state capitalist society that split from the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party, which understood the Soviet Union as a degenerated workers' state.
In 1950, the Johnson-Forest Tendency left the Trotskyist movement and became known as the Correspondence Publishing Committee. When this group suffered a major split in 1955 with a large number supporting Raya Dunayevskaya (or "Forest" of "Johnson-Forest") and forming a new group called the News and Letters Committees, Glaberman remained loyal to C.L.R. James ("Johnson") and the Correspondence group. James advised Correspondence from exile in Britain. It remains a matter of dispute whether the majority in 1955 supported James or Dunayevskaya. Glaberman has claimed in New Politics that the majority supported James but historian Kent Worcester claimed the opposite in an important biography of C.L.R. James.
