Mike Davis, "Marxist" academic that supports the Democratic party, has written some great books on LA, imperialism and megacities. I was just doing a little rooting around and found this critique in Salon.

I will leave it your own judgment whether the attack on me years ago in Salon, by someone who lives in Malibu, has any merit. But please be informed that I have never supported the Democrats (you can see my attack on their recent politics in the latest New Left Review). I keep a portrait of Durutti not Hilary Clinton on my desk.

I got my information about Mike Davis and the Democrats from an article in Counterpunch awhile back. I think it had to do with the Nader campaign. I will look it up. If not I stand corrected. By Mike Davis himself?
In the Counterpunch that one gets in the mail there was article entitled:
Mike Davis Won't You Please Calm Down!; California's Cataclysmicist Running Scared
2003 (not sure which issue October maybe?)
I think this is where I got the information about his support of the Dems. Maybe in the California race or Kerry? Not sure. Here's a link to his piece in NLR on the Democrats after the fall elections.
The Democrats after November:
