SUMMARY:Invention of the White Race - Fall 2022
DESCRIPTION:A reading and discussion group convened with Sean Ahern\, on Theodore W. Allen’s The Invention of the White Race\, including vol. 1\, Racial Oppression and Social Control; and vol. 2\, The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America (the 2022 edition combines both volumes into a single book).\n“Racial Capitalism\,” “Critical Race Theory\,” “Settler Colonialism\,” “Whiteness Studies\,” “The 1619 controversy\,” “Identity Politics\,” “Black Marxism\,” “Caste vs Race” all identify some of the ideas\, lenses and explanations that contend for our attention.  A fair consideration of these and related approaches may be well informed by studying The Invention of the White Race by Theodore W. Allen. We will read from the third edition\, which combines both volumes into a single book with a new introduction by Jeffrey B. Perry\, Allen’s literary executor. (Available from Verso at a 30% discount) \nIn 1972\, after over 30 years of activism in the labor and communist movements\, Allen shared the following strategic insight with a new generation of revolutionaries: “The most vulnerable point at which a decisive blow can be struck against bourgeois rule in the United States is white supremacy.  White supremacy is both the keystone (in the arch) and the Achilles heel of U.S. bourgeois democracy\, the historic form of bourgeois rule in the US.  It is a vulnerable point because it is a historically developed and unresolvable internal contradiction of US bourgeois democracy.  It is the decisive vulnerable point because – as history has repeatedly proved – the basic class contradictions in bourgeois democracy can never fully mature until and unless the anti-proletarian nature of white supremacy has been completely established in the minds of the proletarian masses.” \nAllen spent the next 20 years researching the primary sources and writing his magnum opus.  It provides a historical materialist analysis of racial oppression and the white identity which emerged as a principal form of social control over a rebellious laboring class of Europeans and Africans in the pattern-setting colonies of Virginia and Maryland in the 17th and early 18th century.  It is a history for today. \nSean Ahern was radicalized as a NYC high school student between 1968-1971 and was drawn to activism in labor struggles in the 70s and 80s with the American Postal Workers Union and the Transport Workers. Sean lives on the Lower East Side where he grew up and went to school. Sean met Theodore Allen in 1971\, studied with him\, and helped to distribute “Class Struggle and the Origin of Racial Slavery:  The Invention of the White Race (1975)” which served as a precis for The Invention of the White Race.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Alternatives with Marx: Economy\, Ecology and Migration
DESCRIPTION:Himani Bannerji\, Michael Brie\, Gregory Claeys\, and Silvia Federici with editor Marcello Musto\n \nThis book presents a Marx that is in many ways different from the one popularized by the dominant currents of 20th century Marxism. The dual aim of this collective volume is to contribute to a new critical discussion on Marx’s critique of political economy and to develop a deeper analysis of certain questions\, like ecology and migration\, to which relatively little attention has been paid until recently. \nContributions of globally renowned scholars\, from nine countries and multiple academic disciplines\, offer diverse and innovative perspectives on Marx’s points of view about ecology\, migration\, gender\, the capitalist mode of production\, the labour movement\, globalization\, social relations\, and the contours of a possible socialist alternative. \nOrder the book here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-81764-0 \nThis event is sponsored by the Marxist Education Project\, Shelter & Solidarity\, The Community Church of Boston\, Encuentro5\, Hardball Press\, and Socialism & Democracy

SUMMARY:Workers’ Inquiry and Global Class Struggle: Strategies\, Tactics\, Objectives
DESCRIPTION:with editor Robert Ovetz and researcher Gifford Hartman\nRumors of the death of the global labor movement have been greatly exaggerated. Rising phoenix-like from the ashes of the old trade union movement\, workers’ struggle is being reborn from below by workers themselves. \nBy engaging in what Karl Marx called a workers’ inquiry\, workers and militant co-researchers are studying their working conditions\, the technical composition of capital\, and how to recompose their own power in order to devise new tactics\, strategies\, organizational forms and objectives. These workers’ inquiries\, from call center workers to platform\, trucking\, cleaning\, logistics\, mining\, auto factories\, teachers\, and adjunct professors\, are re-energizing unions\, bypassing unions altogether or innovating new forms of workers’ organizations. \nIn one of the first major studies to critically assess this new cycle of global working class struggle\, Robert Ovetz collects together case studies from over a dozen contributors\, looking at workers’ movements in China\, Mexico\, the US\, South Africa\, Turkey\, Argentina\, Italy\, India and the UK. The book reveals how these new forms of struggle are no longer limited to single sectors of the economy or contained by state borders\, but are circulating internationally and disrupting the global capitalist system as they do. \nROBERT OVETZ is a Lecturer in Political Science at San Jose State University in California. He is the author of When Workers Shot Back: Class Conflict from 1877 to 1921 (Brill\, 2018 and Haymarket\, 2019) and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Labor and Society. GIFFORD HARTMAN is a member of the Global Supply Chain Study/Research Group (https://libcom.org/blog/empire-logistics) and is an adult educator\, labor trainer and working class historian. He has helped organize wildcat strikes at his own workplace and training sessions to build working class solidarity worldwide. \nAll events are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Please write to info@mepnet.wpenginepowered.com for the url to gain access to this event or any other event or class of The Marxist Education Project. \nThe price of the book includes shipping. This book offer is only good for the US unless you are willing to pay the difference between US Media Mail costs and the cost to mail to the country you want the book shipped to.

SUMMARY:Towards a Revolution in Labor History: White Supremacism and Bourgeois Social Control
DESCRIPTION:Towards a Revolution in Labor History: White Supremacism and Bourgeois Social Control in US History\nSean Ahearn and the Revolutions Study Group\n4 more sessions\nWhy is the US working class unorganized and suffering to a far greater extent than in other advanced capitalist societies?\nThere are two texts for these sessions: “Towards a Revolution in Labor History” (an unpublished manuscript by Theodore W. Allen now made available on line by the University of Massachusetts-Amherst) and The Southern Key: Class\, Race and Radicalism in the 1930s and 1940s by Michael Goldfield.These two critical works challenge the way in which US labor history is currently understood and taught. \nGoldfield connects racial oppression\, “white” blindness and “white” racial opportunism in the heyday of labor’s apparent greatest victories\, to it’s post war defeats and subsequent rise of neo-liberalism. \nAllen views the exclusion of the 17th\,18th\,and 19th century ante-bellum African American chattel laborer from standard labor histories as an example of the “White Blindspot” which supports “white” labor opportunism. Connected to this is a misunderstanding of the ante-bellum southern plantation system as a non-capitalist mode of production. The racially oppressed and exploited chattel laborer\, who produced the surplus value central to the growth of capitalism in North America\, is thereby placed outside the purview of “labor history\,” relegated to a pre- history\, a Black history\, a side show at best to the emergence of the factory system based on the waged European-American laborers in the 19th century. \nThe Revolutions Study Group (started at the Brecht Forum) has met since 2009. The groups has recently completed an in-depth study of W.E.B. Dubois’ Black Reconstruction. Sean Ahearn is a long-time New York City activist\, organizer\, and instructor who has been thoroughly engaged with a study of the development of class in relationship to race from the time of the colonial settlers coming to the Americas to developments taking place during these days of late capital. \nThese classes originate in New York City. If you are out of this timezone use this for reference: 6:30 – 8 PM (EST NYC) 11:30 PM – 1 AM (GMT) \nAll classes and events are sliding scale. No one is denied admission for inability to pay.

SUMMARY:Organizing Insurgency: Workers’ Movements in the Global South
DESCRIPTION:A Pluto Wildcat with author Immanuel Ness\nWorkers in the Global South are doomed through economic imperialism to carry the burden of the entire world. While these workers appear isolated from the Global North\, they are in fact deeply integrated into global commodity chains and essential to the maintenance of global capitalism. \nLooking at contemporary case studies in India\, the Philippines and South Africa\, this book affirms the significance of political and economic representation to the struggles of workers against deepening levels of poverty and inequality that oppress the majority of people on the planet. Immanuel Ness shows that workers are eager to mobilize to improve their conditions\, and can achieve lasting gains if they have sustenance and support from political organizations. From the Dickensian industrial zones of Delhi to the agrarian oligarchy on the island of Mindanao\, a common element remains – when workers organize they move closer to the realization of socialism\, solidarity and equality. \nImmanuel Ness is Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York and Senior Research Associate at the University of Johannesburg. He is the author and editor of many books\, including Southern Insurgency: The Coming of the Global Working Class (Pluto\, 2015) and Urban Revolt: State Power and the Rise of People’s Movements in the Global South (Haymarket\, 2017).

SUMMARY:Creolizing Rosa Luxemburg: Unfinished Conversations with Revolutionary Women
DESCRIPTION:This series is based on the new Rowan and Littlefield volume edited by Drucilla Cornell and Jane Anna Gordon. All participating session leaders are contributors to the forthcoming\, Creolizing Rosa Luxemburg\, which will be available here: https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781786614421/Creolizing-Rosa-Luxemburg \nRosa Luxemburg is unquestionably the most important historical European woman Marxist theorist. Significantly\, for the purpose of creolizing the canon\, she considered her continent and the globe from an Eastern Europe that was in constant flux and turmoil. From this relatively peripheral location\, she was far less parochial than many of her more centrally located interlocutors and peers. Indeed\, Luxemburg’s work touched on all the burning issues of her time and ours\, from analysis of concrete revolutionary struggles\, such as those in Poland and Russia\, to showing through her analysis of primitive accumulation that anti-capitalist and anti-colonial struggles had to be intertwined\, to considerations of state sovereignty\, democracy\, feminism\, and racism. She thereby offered reflections that can usefully be taken up and reworked by writers facing continuous and new challenges to undo relations of exploitation through radical economic and social transformation. Luxemburg touches on all aspects of what constitutes revolution in her work; the authors of this volume show us that\, by creolizing Luxemburg\, we can open up new paths of understanding the complexities of revolution. \nThis six-part seminar series explores some of her signal contributions—her argument that imperialism and primitive accumulation are endemic to capitalism; her prescient attention to racist super-exploitation in southern Africa; her insistence that socialism had to be created in and through the widest form of participatory democracy\, including the mass strike; her reflections\, with attention to the other-than-human world and incarceration\, on transformative subjectivities—through putting them in conversation with Global Southern thinkers past and present. \n  \nUnfinished Conversations among Revolutionary Women\nPaget Henry\, Brown University; Sandra Rein\nMay 15th\, 2-4 pm USA DST / 6-8pm GMT\nSession Six stages conversations between Rosa and other revolutionary women with whom she could not have spoken\, including Paget Henry speaking about Sylvia Wynter and Claudia Jones\, and Sandra Rein will speak of the revolutionary legacy of Raya Danayevskaya. \nThe May 15 panel will be from 2 to 4 pm. \nAll events are sliding scale. No one is denied admission because of inability to pay.
