SUMMARY:Reading Marx’s Capital\, Volume I (third series)
DESCRIPTION:Covering Parts V through VIII of Capital\, volume 1 \nJoin us as we continue the close reading of Volume 1 of Marx’s Capital begun earlier this year\, guided by an experienced team led by Lisa Maya Knauer. This fall we will be reading Parts V through VIII\, covering Wages\, the Accumulation of Capital\, and the so-called Primitive Accumulation. Each week\, we recap the passages covered at the previous session\, introduce new material\, and open up a discussion. We read the more challenging sections together a paragraph or two at a time. Supplementary materials and/or questions for reflection are circulated prior to each week’s session\, and the conversation continues in the group’s Slack channel. \nLisa Maya Knauer has been involved with Marxist education in New York for her entire adult life\, and has taught a variety of classes at the MEP and its predecessors. Her current activist work focuses on immigrant workers’ rights and indigenous struggles for land and water. In her day job\, she is a tenured radical at a public university. \nReview our Privacy Policy

SUMMARY:Commons\, Commoning\, Communism
DESCRIPTION:Various forms of commoning\, some traditional and some not\, provided the proletariat with means of survival in the struggle against capitalism. Commoning is a basis of proletarian class solidarity\, and we can find this before\, during\, and after both the semantic and the political birth of communism. –Peter Linebaugh\nBefore the advent of capitalism\, much of humanity produced their immediate livelihoods on lands and with tools to which they either had rights of use or held as individual property. All that came to a violent end with what Marx preferred to call the “original expropriation” (often misleadingly termed “primitive accumulation”) whereby the producers were deprived of access and the commons were enclosed. Peasants and artisans mounted strong resistance over centuries but in the end a propertyless proletariat emerged in countryside and city in England and other countries where capitalism triumphed. Such struggles continue down to the present\, however\, as working people continue to challenge new forms of expropriation such as intellectual-property laws\, private patents on seeds and other life forms\, displacement of urban communities\, extortion through petty fines and regressive taxation\, and seizures of land and water for mining and other profitable purposes. This reading group will explore the historical roots and persistence of such crimes and resistance by reading together The War Against the Commons\, by Ian Angus; Stop\, Thief! by Peter Linebaugh; and related texts. \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy and Steve Knight of the MEP’s Ecosocialist Study Group.

SUMMARY:Commons\, Commoning\, Communism
DESCRIPTION:Various forms of commoning\, some traditional and some not\, provided the proletariat with means of survival in the struggle against capitalism. Commoning is a basis of proletarian class solidarity\, and we can find this before\, during\, and after both the semantic and the political birth of communism. –Peter Linebaugh\nBefore the advent of capitalism\, much of humanity produced their immediate livelihoods on lands and with tools to which they either had rights of use or held as individual property. All that came to a violent end with what Marx preferred to call the “original expropriation” (often misleadingly termed “primitive accumulation”) whereby the producers were deprived of access and the commons were enclosed. Peasants and artisans mounted strong resistance over centuries but in the end a propertyless proletariat emerged in countryside and city in England and other countries where capitalism triumphed. Such struggles continue down to the present\, however\, as working people continue to challenge new forms of expropriation such as intellectual-property laws\, private patents on seeds and other life forms\, displacement of urban communities\, extortion through petty fines and regressive taxation\, and seizures of land and water for mining and other profitable purposes. This reading group will explore the historical roots and persistence of such crimes and resistance by reading together The War Against the Commons\, by Ian Angus; Stop\, Thief! by Peter Linebaugh; and related texts. \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy and Steve Knight of the MEP’s Ecosocialist Study Group.

SUMMARY:Reading Marx’s Capital\, Volume I (third series)
DESCRIPTION:Covering Parts V through VIII of Capital\, volume 1 \nJoin us as we continue the close reading of Volume 1 of Marx’s Capital begun earlier this year\, guided by an experienced team led by Lisa Maya Knauer. This fall we will be reading Parts V through VIII\, covering Wages\, the Accumulation of Capital\, and the so-called Primitive Accumulation. Each week\, we recap the passages covered at the previous session\, introduce new material\, and open up a discussion. We read the more challenging sections together a paragraph or two at a time. Supplementary materials and/or questions for reflection are circulated prior to each week’s session\, and the conversation continues in the group’s Slack channel. \nLisa Maya Knauer has been involved with Marxist education in New York for her entire adult life\, and has taught a variety of classes at the MEP and its predecessors. Her current activist work focuses on immigrant workers’ rights and indigenous struggles for land and water. In her day job\, she is a tenured radical at a public university. \nReview our Privacy Policy

SUMMARY:Summertime … and the Living Ain't Easy: Black Noir
DESCRIPTION:The Marxist Education Project’s Literature Group continues its summertime tradition of reading noir fiction: the popular American crime genre that explores the corruption of society – and\, in our selected books by Black writers – corruption in the workplace\, in unions\, and among workers. “Mystery fiction written by Black authors is\, not surprisingly\, often very different from work in that broadly defined genre written by white writers.” –Black Noir \nWe will read these four books:\nIf He Hollers\, Let Him Go by Chester Himes\nA Red Death by Walter Mosley\nBlack Water Rising by Attica Locke\nThe Man Who Changed Colors by Bill Fletcher Jr. \nFull book descriptions and a reading schedule are available here. \nConvened by Jacqueline Cantwell\, who became involved with the MEP’s Literature Group because of her love of Victor Serge’s novels. Participating in an MEP reading group led by Serge translator Richard Greeman seven years ago\, Jacqueline found a community of readers eager to be challenged by the ambitions of international writers devoted to the creative potential of political fiction. Since the death of Michael Lardner\, who hosted and organized the Literature Group for so many years\, she has taken the lead in furthering the group’s goals of exploring international fiction and encouraging thoughtful conversation.

SUMMARY:Summer with Hegel: The Preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit
DESCRIPTION:A seven-week summer course with Alex Steinberg that concludes our ongoing studies of Hegel’s mysterious work\, The Phenomenology of Spirit. We will do a close reading of the Preface to the Phenomenology \, a work that can be read on its own and is considered the most succinct and comprehensive statement of Hegel’s philosophy. \nThese sessions introduce what is living in Hegel for those who want to change the world. No prior experience with Hegel or attendance at previous classes is expected or required. Our goal is to make Hegel’s dialectic less mysterious as we go along and try to tease out the revolutionary implications in his thought and its significance for our time. \nWe will be reading Terry Pinkard’s translation of the Phenomenology\, published by Cambridge University Press. A free version is available online. \nAlex Steinberg is an independent scholar. He has taught on topics such as the Philosophy of Heidegger and Nazism\, Marxism and Humanism\, and Hegel’s Philosophy of History at various alternative educational institutions and informally. He was a Conference Presenter at the First International Conference on Trotsky in Havana\, Cuba. Alex has been also involved with the governance of WBAI radio in New York and its parent organization\, Pacifica\, most recently as the Chair of the Pacifica National Board from 2019-2021.

SUMMARY:Summertime … and the Living Ain't Easy: Black Noir
DESCRIPTION:The Marxist Education Project’s Literature Group continues its summertime tradition of reading noir fiction: the popular American crime genre that explores the corruption of society – and\, in our selected books by Black writers – corruption in the workplace\, in unions\, and among workers. “Mystery fiction written by Black authors is\, not surprisingly\, often very different from work in that broadly defined genre written by white writers.” –Black Noir \nWe will read these four books:\nIf He Hollers\, Let Him Go by Chester Himes\nA Red Death by Walter Mosley\nBlack Water Rising by Attica Locke\nThe Man Who Changed Colors by Bill Fletcher Jr. \nFull book descriptions and a reading schedule are available here. \nConvened by Jacqueline Cantwell\, who became involved with the MEP’s Literature Group because of her love of Victor Serge’s novels. Participating in an MEP reading group led by Serge translator Richard Greeman seven years ago\, Jacqueline found a community of readers eager to be challenged by the ambitions of international writers devoted to the creative potential of political fiction. Since the death of Michael Lardner\, who hosted and organized the Literature Group for so many years\, she has taken the lead in furthering the group’s goals of exploring international fiction and encouraging thoughtful conversation.

SUMMARY:Summer with Hegel: The Preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit
DESCRIPTION:A seven-week summer course with Alex Steinberg that concludes our ongoing studies of Hegel’s mysterious work\, The Phenomenology of Spirit. We will do a close reading of the Preface to the Phenomenology \, a work that can be read on its own and is considered the most succinct and comprehensive statement of Hegel’s philosophy. \nThese sessions introduce what is living in Hegel for those who want to change the world. No prior experience with Hegel or attendance at previous classes is expected or required. Our goal is to make Hegel’s dialectic less mysterious as we go along and try to tease out the revolutionary implications in his thought and its significance for our time. \nWe will be reading Terry Pinkard’s translation of the Phenomenology\, published by Cambridge University Press.
