SUMMARY:The Political Writings of Marx and Engels: Social Classes\, Revolution\, and Human Freedom
DESCRIPTION:At Karl Marx’s burial\, his lifelong friend Frederick Engels said that he was “above all\, a revolutionist.” Yet\, after 150 years\, his critique of political economy is arguably better understood and respected than his political theory of working-class revolution. This is ironic since Marx intended his critique of capitalist economies to be the intellectual buttress for his theory of revolution. Marx never wrote a work on political theory comparable to Capital. Perhaps because of this\, his ideas about the state\, governments\, political struggles\, and social revolutions have been propounded and interpreted in many ways by many different parties. This group will read and discuss original texts by Marx and Engels about their theory of class struggles as the motive force of human social evolution and the modern working class as the political antagonist of the capitalist system – the class that has the power\, by abolishing itself\, to usher in a society beyond class exploitation. The primary text is the recently published anthology Karl Marx: The Political Writings with introduction by David Fernbach (Verso – 3 volumes in one\, in paperback and e-book). We will also read extensively from Hal Draper’s Karl Marx’s Theory of Revolution\, vol. 2\, The Politics of Social Classes (MR Press; paper-back and e-book). Note that the Marx writings are available in many other places. \nModerated by David Worley\, a member of the executive committee of the Marxist Education Project and a longtime associate of the Brecht Forum\, where he served a term as co-chair of the Board of Directors. David is a nonsectarian socialist\, active since the 1960s in support of a wide range of peace and social justice causes.

SUMMARY:Robert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence
DESCRIPTION:The Economics of Global Turbulence: A Close Reading and Discussion\nConvened by Sam Salour\n\nRobert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence: The Advanced Capitalist Economies from Long Boom to Long Downturn\, 1945-2005 (1998\, rev. 2006) remains among the best accounts of the evolution of advanced capitalist economies since the Second World War. His analysis of the long downturn\, although strongly criticized by certain Marxists\, proved able to account not only for the great recession but also for the global economic stagnation ever since. Even bourgeois scholars of different persuasions – whether neoclassical\, neo-Keynesian\, post-Keynesian or Kaleckian – now acknowledge that the dynamism of the advanced capitalist economies has been slowing dynamism ever since the 1980s.\n\nWe are engaging in a close reading of the text with extensive discussion. We read 10 to 15 pages in each session and expect to finish the book in 6 months. We will follow up with a reading of Brenner’s The Boom and The Bubble and his article “What is Good for Goldman Sachs is Good for America\,” in which he extends his analysis to account for the Great Recession.\nRobert Brenner is professor emeritus of history and director of the Center for Social Theory and Comparative History at UCLA. His influential article\, “Agrarian Class Structure and Economic Development in Pre-Industrial Europe\,” imprinted his name on a central debate concerning the origins of capitalism – the Brenner Debate. \nNo prerequisites nor any preparation is required. There is no charge for this class. Click here to register.

SUMMARY:Robert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence
DESCRIPTION:The Economics of Global Turbulence: A Close Reading and Discussion\nConvened by Sam Salour\n\nRobert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence: The Advanced Capitalist Economies from Long Boom to Long Downturn\, 1945-2005 (1998\, rev. 2006) remains among the best accounts of the evolution of advanced capitalist economies since the Second World War. His analysis of the long downturn\, although strongly criticized by certain Marxists\, proved able to account not only for the great recession but also for the global economic stagnation ever since. Even bourgeois scholars of different persuasions – whether neoclassical\, neo-Keynesian\, post-Keynesian or Kaleckian – now acknowledge that the dynamism of the advanced capitalist economies has been slowing dynamism ever since the 1980s.\n\nWe are engaging in a close reading of the text with extensive discussion. We read 10 to 15 pages in each session and expect to finish the book in 6 months. We will follow up with a reading of Brenner’s The Boom and The Bubble and his article “What is Good for Goldman Sachs is Good for America\,” in which he extends his analysis to account for the Great Recession.\nRobert Brenner is professor emeritus of history and director of the Center for Social Theory and Comparative History at UCLA. His influential article\, “Agrarian Class Structure and Economic Development in Pre-Industrial Europe\,” imprinted his name on a central debate concerning the origins of capitalism – the Brenner Debate. \nNo prerequisites nor any preparation is required.

SUMMARY:Robert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence
DESCRIPTION:The Economics of Global Turbulence: A Close Reading and Discussion\nConvened by Sam Salour\n\nRobert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence: The Advanced Capitalist Economies from Long Boom to Long Downturn\, 1945-2005 (1998\, rev. 2006) remains among the best accounts of the evolution of advanced capitalist economies since the Second World War. His analysis of the long downturn\, although strongly criticized by certain Marxists\, proved able to account not only for the great recession but also for the global economic stagnation ever since. Even bourgeois scholars of different persuasions – whether neoclassical\, neo-Keynesian\, post-Keynesian or Kaleckian – now acknowledge that the dynamism of the advanced capitalist economies has been slowing dynamism ever since the 1980s.\n\nWe are engaging in a close reading of the text with extensive discussion. We read 10 to 15 pages in each session and expect to finish the book in 6 months. We will follow up with a reading of Brenner’s The Boom and The Bubble and his article “What is Good for Goldman Sachs is Good for America\,” in which he extends his analysis to account for the Great Recession.\nRobert Brenner is professor emeritus of history and director of the Center for Social Theory and Comparative History at UCLA. His influential article\, “Agrarian Class Structure and Economic Development in Pre-Industrial Europe\,” imprinted his name on a central debate concerning the origins of capitalism – the Brenner Debate. \nNo prerequisites nor any preparation is required.

SUMMARY:Soldiers of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:with author Mark Lause\n\nIn Soldiers of Revolution\, historian Mark A. Lause analyzes changes in European warfare in the closing decades of the 19th century and the consequences for working-class movements. The Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71 introduced new military technologies\, transformed the organization of armies\, and upset the continental balance of power. The mass armies that became a new standard required mass mobilizations of working people\, who exercised a new power through social democratic parties and insurgent movements. The Paris Commune of 1871 grew directly from discontent among radicalized soldiers and civilians pressed into armed service on behalf of institutions they had learned to mistrust. In brutally suppressing the Commune and butchering tens of thousands of Parisians\, the French rulers put an end to the old utopian faith that reason and morality could resolve social tensions. War among nations became linked to revolution\, and revolution became enmeshed in armed struggle. \n“This is military history at its broadest and best. Lause captures events and technologies of destruction to be sure but also the regimented labor of war\, the soldier’s experience of larger worlds and new comrades\, the coming to know of politics as a life and death matter\, and the invitation to interrogate national ideals. These transformations set the stage for the for both the Paris Commune and the brutality of its repression.”  —David Roediger \nhttps://www.versobooks.com/books/3865-soldiers-of-revolution \nMark A. Lause has published many works on labor history\, including The Great Cowboy Strike: Class\, Politics & Violence in the Making of the American West; Free Labor: the Civil War and the Making of the American Working Class\, and Long Road to Harpers Ferry: The Rise of the First American Left. He is Professor of History at the University of Cincinnati and has been a socialist for over fifty years. \nAll events are sliding scaleÑchoose the level at which you are able to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.

SUMMARY:The European Radical Left: Movements and Parties Since the 1960s
DESCRIPTION:with author Giorgos Charalambous\nIs today’s left really new? How has the European radical left evolved?\nGiorgos Charalambous answers these questions by looking at three moments of rapid political change – the late 1960s to late 1970s; the turn of the millennium; and post-2008. He challenges the conventional understanding of a ‘new left’\, drawing out continuities with earlier movements and parties. Charalambous examines the ‘Long ’68’\, symbolized by the May uprisings in France\, which saw the rise of new left forces and the widespread criticism by younger radical activists of traditional communist and socialist parties. He puts this side by side with the turn of the millennium when the Global Justice Movement rose to prominence and changed the face of the international left\, and also the period after the financial crash of 2008 and the rise of anti-austerity politics which initiated the most recent wave of new left parties such as Podemos in Spain and Syriza in Greece. \nWith a unique ‘two-level’ perspective\, Charalambous approaches the left through both social movements and party politics\, looking at identities\, rhetoric and organization\, and bringing a fresh new approach to radical history\, as well as assessing challenges for both activists and scholars. \nThis book is available to download through the Open Access program. \nGiorgos Charalambous is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the Department of Politics and Governance\, University of Nicosia. He is also the co-convenor of the Left Radicalism Specialist Group at the Political Studies Association. Charalambous is the author of European Integration and the Communist Dilemma (Ashgate\, 2013)\, and has co-edited Party-Society Relations in Cyprus (Routledge\, 2016) and Left Radicalism and Populism in Europe (Routledge\, 2019).

SUMMARY:Late Capitalist Fascism
DESCRIPTION:What if fascism can no longer be confined to political parties or ultra nationalist politicians but has become something much more diffuse that is spread across our societies as cultural expressions and psychological states? This is the thesis developed by Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen\, who argues that late capitalism has produced hollowed-out and exchangeable subjectivities that provide a breeding ground for a new kind of diffuse\, banal fascism. The overt and concentrated fascism of the new fascist parties thrives on the diffuse fascism present in social media and everyday life\, where the fear of being left behind and losing out has fuelled resentment towards foreigners and others who are perceived as threats to a national community under siege. Only by confronting both the overt fascism of parties and politicians and the diffuse fascism of everyday life will we be able to combat fascism effectively and prevent the slide into barbarism. \nMIKKEL BOLT RASMUSSEN is an art historian\, cultural critic and professor in Political Aesthetics at the University of Copenhagen. He has written books on the Situationist International\, politicized contemporary art and the revolutionary tradition. Previous books include Trump’s Counter-Revolution (Zero Books\, 2018) and After the Great Refusal (Zero Books\, 2018). \nPictured are: Estonian fascist Kaalep and French fascist LePen smiling together as they mutually display the fascist sign for white supremacy. LePen later asked Kaalep to take the image off his Facebook photo stream. More photos include a “White Way” protest in Plauen\, Germany\, a large fascist gathering in Poland\, the neo-Nazi Kotleba in Slovenia\, along with English fascists in the heart of London. \nOrder Mikkel’s book here: https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=late-capitalist-fascism–9781509547432. \nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you are able to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.

SUMMARY:States and Social Revolutions: A Comparative Analysis of France\, Russia and China
DESCRIPTION:An ongoing free offering \nA close reading of Theda Skocpol’s States and Social Revolutions\nConvened with Sam Salour\nStates and Social Revolutions: A Comparative Analysis of France\, Russia and China is a 1979 book by political scientist and sociologist Theda Skocpol\, published by Cambridge University Press\, which explains the causes of social revolutions. In the book\, Skocpol performs a comparative historical analysis of the French Revolution of 1789 through the early 19th century\, the Russian Revolution of 1917 through the 1930s and the Chinese Revolution of 1911 through the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. Skocpol argues that social revolutions occurred in these states because of the simultaneous occurrence of state breakdown and peasant revolution at the same time. \nSkocpol asserts that social revolutions are rapid and basic transformations of a society’s state and class structures. She distinguishes this from mere rebellions\, which involve a revolt of subordinate classes but may not create structural change\, and from political revolutions that may change state structures but not social structures. What is unique about social revolutions\, she argues\, is that basic changes in social structure and political structure occur in a mutually reinforcing fashion and these changes occur through intense sociopolitical conflict. A convergence of peasant rebellion on one hand and international pressures causing state breakdown on the other hand cause revolutionary social movements. \nThe book was highly influential in the study of revolutions\, and has been credited with ushering in a new paradigm. All who register will be put in touch with Sam for information on obtaining reading material. \nNo prerequisites nor any preparation is required. As stated above\, ADMISSION IS FREE. \n  \ninfo@mepnet.wpenginepowered.com for more information and other events and classes. \nZoom info for these sessions: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84694992151

SUMMARY:Lefebvre / Althusser: Humanist and Anti-Humanist Marxism
DESCRIPTION:Considerations for Opposition to Capital in the 21st Century\nwith Andy Merrifield\nAndy Merrifield has written two significant essays regarding the relationships of the lives and works of Henri Lefebvre and Louis Althusser\, their working together and apart\, both essays being important for conceiving next steps for an internationalist left now more than half a century past the events of 1968 in France and the Hot Autumn of 1969 shortly thereafter in Italy. Links to each essay is below the extracted quotes below. \n \n“LIKE MARX INVERTING HEGEL\, Lefebvre stands mainstream economic and sociological wisdom on its head: ‘we must consider industrialization as a stage of urbanization\,’ he says\, ‘as a moment\, an intermediary\, an instrument. In the double process (industrialization-urbanization)\, after a certain period the latter term becomes dominant\, taking over from the former.’ This is a bold\, provocative statement for any Marxist. For it suggests that the mainstay of the capitalist economy isn’t so much industrialization as urbanization\, that industrialization all along was but a special form of urbanization. Capitalism reigns\, Lefebvre says\, because it now manages and manufactures a very special commodity: urban space itself — an abundant source of surplus value as well as a massive means of production\, both a launch pad and rocket in a stratospheric global market.” —Andy Merrifield\, https://mronline.org/2021/03/28/lefebvre-in-the-age-of-covid/ \n“LEFEBVRE’S AND ALTHUSSER’S WORK OVER THAT DECADE [1970s]\, from differing tried to valorize for the Left a capitalist state in crisis. Could a unified Left leverage state power away from a disgruntled Right? Could it do so in the streets\, in the factories\, and through the ballot box? Could forces within the state be modified by organized pressure from the outside? Could pressure from the outside not only transform the inside but actually become that inside? ‘Ons’engage\,’ Althusser used to say\, ‘et puis on voit.’ And yet\, after engaging\, after jumping into the fray\, what one saw was a dramatic power shift\, a transition and renewal in the reverse direction. It was the Right who got its act together\, who closed ranks\, whose class power ‘condensed\,’ just as the Left’s fell apart\, as its unity fractured into disunity.” —Andy Merrifield\, https://mronline.org/2021/06/13/lefebvre-and-althusser-reinterpreting-marxist-humanism-and-anti-humanism/ \n“Dialectical Urbanism shows a fruitful direction for the Marxism of the future. Exploring the collision between abstract capitalist space and concrete human place\, Andy Merrifield offers a fresh vision of the totality of modern life.”   —Marshall Berman\, City University of New York \n“Exceptionally well written\, informative insightful\, thoughtful and thought-provoking\, Marx\, Dead and Alive: Reading Capital in Precarious Times is an extraordinary study and one that should be a part of every community\, college\, and university library Contemporary Political Science and Theory collection.”       —Midwest Book Review \nAndy Merrifield is an independent scholar and the author of numerous books including his most recent Marx Dead and Alive (2020)\, of which his presentation with The MEP last year was one of our highlight events. His other books include Dialectical Urbanism (Monthly Review\, 2002)\, Magical Marxism (Pluto Press\, 2011)\, The Amateur (Verso Books\, 2018)\, and What We Talk About When We Talk About Cities (and Love) (OR Books\, 2018). \n  \nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you are able to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.
