SUMMARY:Topics in Political Strategy: 'Nerd Reich' and 'We Still Here'
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, 7-9 pm ET Next on September 1\n \nAs we head toward the US fall elections\, the Topics in Political Strategy reading group will continue our mix of currently-published substantive analytical pieces and a monthly book-length treatment of important topics of political theory. \nThis fall\, we read two critical commentaries on two very different ends of the present moment and organizing responses to it. \nWe Still Here: Pandemic\, Policing\, Protest and Possibility\, by Marc Lamont Hill. We trace back to 2020 and the uprising that “marked a new phase in the Movement for Black Lives.” Hill “critically examines the “pre-existing conditions” that have led us to this moment of crisis and upheaval\, guiding us through both the perils and possibilities\, and helping us imagine an abolitionist future.” (from Bookshop.org listing) \nThe Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy\, by Gil Durán\, a journalist traces back from the rise of JD Vance\, to Peter Thiel\, and then further to the right. “These guys were never libertarians\,” says Durán. “Now that they are the government\, we see their true face: They’re fascists\, and they’re authoritarians.” (Quoted on Democracy Now!) \nWe study together to understand the wave of reaction which once again has washed over politics\, its reflection in both long historical currents and fast-changing global trends\, and ways to think strategically about advancing in new directions for the socialist left.

SUMMARY:Adam Smith and ‘The Wealth of Nations’
DESCRIPTION:Join Russell Dale to read and discuss the works of Adam Smith in this ongoing study group. At present the group is reading Book 4 of Smith’s The Wealth of Nations. Smith’s notion of capital was important to Marx in the development of Marx’s understanding of capital\, and Marx frequently quoted from Smith in his discussions in Capital and other writings.\n \nWe are reading the Oxford University Press edition of the work – the full title is An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1976; General editors: R. H. Campbell and A. S. Skinner; textual editor: W. B. Todd). The book has been republished by The Liberty Fund and made widely available in a two-volume photographic reproduction edition. \nRussell Dale taught philosophy at Lehman College\, CUNY\, for many years but is now retired. He has been a collaborator of the Marxist Education Project since its inception. He is on the Editorial Board of the Marxist journal Science & Society.

SUMMARY:Marx's Capital\, Volume I - A Short Course on Capitalist Production
DESCRIPTION:A 12-session study group\, September 19 through December 5 \n\nHave you always wanted to study Marx’s Capital\, Volume 1\, but hesitated because of the time commitment to read the entire volume from start to finish? Join us for a 12-session study group covering key sections of the book. \nExperienced Capital study leader Lisa Maya Knauer facilitates as we explore the relevance of Marx’s analysis to our current context. While we will go over the assigned material each week\, participants will read the material on their own in advance. This study group is open to both Capital newbies and those who have read it previously but want a refresher. Lisa will be using the new Reitter-North translation of Capital\, but participants are welcome to use any available edition.  \n\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.
