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. Please write info@marxedproject.org to get information on attending this series or any other event or class at The Marxist Education Project.

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. If you are unable to contribute but would like to attend this or other classes or events\, please write to info@marxedproject.org to obtain the URL for the codes to enter the on-line zoom sessions. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Empire’s Endgame: Racism and the British State (a close reading group)
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we do a close reading of an innovative work by eight activist scholars who collaborate to bring us a powerful intervention in debates surrounding racial capitalism and political crisis in contemporary Britain. Discussions of racism too often focus on individual behaviors and prejudices\, but Empire’s Endgame maps the complex relations between empire\, racist culture\, political economy\, and the practices of a security-oriented state seeking legitimacy in times of unbearable economic uncertainty. While the book’s story unfolds in Britain\, its lessons and warnings may well apply to the United States and many other crisis-ridden imperialist polities. \nThe activist scholars who have contributed to Empire’s Endgame are Gargi Bhattacharyya\, Professor of Sociology\, University of East London and author of Rethinking Racial Capitalism (2018)\, Dangerous Brown Men (2008) and Traffick (2005). Adam Elliott-Cooper is Research Associate in Social Sciences at Greenwich University (UK) and author of Black Resistance to British Policing (2021). Sita Balani is Lecturer in Contemporary Literature and Culture at King’s College\, London and author of Deadly and Slick: How Sex Makes Race in Postcolonial Britain (2021). Kerem Nisancioglu is Lecturer in International Relations at SOAS\, University of London\, co-author of How the West Came to Rule (2015) and co-editor of Decolonising the University (2018). Kojo Koram is Lecturer at School of Law\, Birkbeck College\, University of London and editor of The War on Drugs and the Global Color Line (2019). Dalia Gebrial is editor of a Historical Materialism special issue on identity politics and co-editor of Decolonising the University (2017)\, Nadine El-Enany is Reader in Law at Birkbeck School of Law and has written (B)ordering Brtain: Law\, Race and Empire (2020)\, and  Luke de Noronha\, Lecturer at University College London and has written Deporting Black Britons: Portraits of Deportation to Jamaica (2020). \nThe tickets with class and book include shipping costs via Media Mail. The class and book offers are only good for orders in the US and Puerto Rico.\nThe CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting for more than four years. We are a group of workers\, students\, activists and teachers who completed a chronological reading of all three volumes of Marx’s Capital\, and will begin a new close reading group on the Grundrisse this April.

SUMMARY:Capitalism and the Sea
DESCRIPTION:The Maritime Factor in the Making of the Modern World\nAn 8-Week Reading Group convened with Fred Murphy\nThe global ocean serves as a trade route\, strategic space\, fish bank and supply chain for the modern capitalist economy. While sea beds are drilled for their fossil fuels and minerals\, and coastlines developed for real estate and leisure\, the oceans continue to absorb the toxic discharges of carbon civilization – warming\, expanding\, and acidifying the blue water part of the planet in ways that will bring unpredictable but irreversible consequences for the rest of the biosphere. We will read Liam Campling and Alejandro Colas’s new book Capitalism and the Sea\, in which they analyze these and other sea-related phenomena through a historical and geographical lens. \n \nLongtime socialist FRED MURPHY has led MEP study groups on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, and the history of capitalism since 2015. He studied and taught Latin American history at the New School for Social Research. \nSince this course will be conducted during NYC Daylight Savings Time\, the GMT times for these sessions will be 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm GMT. \n  \nAll classes and events are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Write to info@marxedproject.org to request the URL for the zoom link for these sessions or other classes and events.

SUMMARY:Capitalism and the Sea
DESCRIPTION:The Maritime Factor in the Making of the Modern World\nAn 8-Week Reading Group convened with Fred Murphy\nThe global ocean serves as a trade route\, strategic space\, fish bank and supply chain for the modern capitalist economy. While sea beds are drilled for their fossil fuels and minerals\, and coastlines developed for real estate and leisure\, the oceans continue to absorb the toxic discharges of carbon civilization – warming\, expanding\, and acidifying the blue water part of the planet in ways that will bring unpredictable but irreversible consequences for the rest of the biosphere. We will read Liam Campling and Alejandro Colas’s new book Capitalism and the Sea\, in which they analyze these and other sea-related phenomena through a historical and geographical lens. \n \nLongtime socialist FRED MURPHY has led MEP study groups on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, and the history of capitalism since 2015. He studied and taught Latin American history at the New School for Social Research. \nSince this course will be conducted during NYC Daylight Savings Time\, the GMT times for these sessions will be 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm GMT. \n  \nAll classes and events are sliding scale.

SUMMARY:Introducing Creolizing Rosa Luxemburg with Drucilla Cornell and Jane Gordon
DESCRIPTION:“I Have A Thousand More Things I Want To Say To You.”\nAn introduction to Creolizing Rosa Luxemburg with\nDrucilla Cornell and Jane Anna Gordon\, moderated by Bernabe S. Mendoza\nSession One of a six part series.\nRosa Luxemburg is unquestionably the most important historical European woman Marxist theorist of the last century. 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 understanding of the complexities of revolution. \nDRUCILLA CORNELL Professor Emeritus\, Rutgers University; JANE ANNA GORDON\, University of Connecticut \nSessions Moderator: BERNABE S. MENDOZA\, Department of Comparative Literature\, Rutgers University

SUMMARY:Blood and Money
DESCRIPTION:From Primitive Accumulation to Racial Capitalism\nA Reprise of the Fall of 2020 Sessions\nCapital Studies Group of The MEP is proud to repeat this class for another 10 week term\nAll tickets are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Email info@marxedproject.org for zoom info if you are unable to pay. The stated fees are for all 10 sessions combined. \nThe birth and development of capitalism since its origins in the fifteenth century is entirely bound up with the subordination of racialized peoples. Even before capitalism arose – in a process Marx termed the “so-called primitive accumulation” – money and markets were implicated in the rise and fall of states and empires that conquered and enslaved vast numbers of human bodies. This group will address these histories and their persisting consequences. We will read and discuss David McNally’s Blood and Money: War\, Slavery\, Finance\, and Empire and Jairus Banaji’s The History of Commercial Capitalism\, both new works along with the now-classic text Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition by Cedric Robinson. Additional readings will include chapters from Marx’s Capital; essays by Robin D.G. Kelley and Barbara Fields; and selections from the July-August 2020 Monthly Review devoted to Racial Capitalism. \nThe CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting on Saturdays for nearly four years. We are a group of workers\, students\, activists and teachers who have nearly completed a chronological reading all three volumes of Marx’s Capital along with other important works such as these sessions will explore. Newcomers are always encouraged to join.

SUMMARY:Empire’s Endgame with Gargi Bhattacharyya and co-authors including Adam Elliott-Cooper\, Sita Balani and others
DESCRIPTION:Empire’s Endgame: Racism and the British State \nby Gargi Bhattacharyya\, Adam Elliott-Cooper\, Sita Balani\, Kerem Nisancioglu\, Kojo Koram\, Dalia Gebrial\, Nadine El-Enany and Luke de Noronha \nModerated by Wilf Sullivan (Race Equality Officer\, Trades Union Congress\, London) \nEngaging with Black Lives Matter and Rhodes Must Fall movements\, Empire’s Endgame offers an original perspective on race\, media\, the state and criminalization\, and a political vision that includes — rather than expels — in the face of crisis. \n \nIn this moment of profound overlapping crises\, the landscape of politics and entitlement is rapidly remade. Several leading scholars powerfully intervene in debates on racial capitalism and political crisis in Britain. While the ‘hostile environment’ policy and Brexit referendum throw the centrality of race into sharp relief\, discussions of racism have too often focus on individual behaviours. Bringing to the fore broad political and economic contextss\, the authors trace ways in which empire’s legacies have been reshaped by global capitalism\, the digital environment and instability in the nation-state. \nGargi Bhattacharyya is Professor of Sociology\, University of East London and author of Rethinking Racial Capitalism(2018)\, Dangerous Brown Men (2008) and Traffick (2005). Adam Elliott-Cooper is Research Associate in Social Sciences at Greenwich University (UK) and author of Black Resistance to British Policing (2021). Sita Balani is Lecturer in Contemporary Literature and Culture at King’s College\, London and author of Deadly and Slick: How Sex Makes Race in Postcolonial Britain (2021). Kerem Nisancioglu is Lecturer in International Relations at SOAS\, University of London\, co-author of How the West Came to Rule (2015) and co-editor of Decolonising the University(2018). Kojo Koram is Lecturer at School of Law\, Birkbeck College\, University of London and editor of The War on Drugs and the Global Color Line (2019). Dalia Gebrial is editor of a Historical Materialism special issue on identity politics and co-editor of Decolonising the University (2017). Nadine El-Enany and Luke de Noronha are co-authors too. \n  \nAll events are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay.

SUMMARY:The Sinking Middle Class with David Roediger
DESCRIPTION:A presentation and discussion with author David Roediger\nIn the 2020 elections\, both major US political parties stressed their support for the “middle class.” David Roediger corrects this in his pointed and persuasive polemic The Sinking Middle Class. Roediger demonstrates that such an obsession is relatively new in US politics\, starting with Bill Clinton’s attempt to win back the so-called Reagan Democrats\, aided by legendary pollster Stanley Greenberg. Their efforts were marked by covert appeals to white racism and the avoidance of wealth redistribution — features that remain prominent to this day. \nDrawing on rich traditions of radical social thought\, Roediger debunks the thinly sourced idea that the United States was\, for much of its history\, a “middle-class” nation and the still more indefensible position that it is one now. The increasing immiseration of large swaths of middle-income America\, only accelerated by the current pandemic\, reveals the fallacy that is a major obstacle to progressive change. \nDAVID R. ROEDIGER teaches American Studies at the University of Kansas. His books include Seizing Freedom\, The Wages of Whiteness\, How Race Survived U.S. History\, and Towards the Abolition of Whiteness and Working toward Whiteness. His book The Production of Difference (with Elizabeth Esch) recently won the International Labor History Association Book Prize. \n“Brilliant and insightful… Explores the ways in which appeals to save the middle class in electoral politics harm the very constituencies they purport to help.”\n—George Lipsitz\, author of How Racism Takes Place

SUMMARY:Heterodox Socialism: Michael Brie\, Jean-Numa Ducange\, Kieran Durkin
DESCRIPTION:  \npresentations and discussion with MICHAEL BRIE\, JEAN-NUMA DUCANGE and KIERAN DURKIN \nThis presentation taking place in New York City at 1:30 to 3:30 PM is taking place at 6:30 to 9:30 PM (GMT) \nOn the basis of new publications of her Polish works and more\, in Rosa Luxemburg: A Revolutionary Marxist at the Limits of Marxism\, Luxemburg’s strategic approaches are located in an Eastern European context. Michael Brie will present on how the authors discuss Luxemburg’s unique analyses of the first experiments in socialist participation in government\, of the first Russian revolution and of the forms of accumulation of capital to outline the foundations of her novel understanding of both democratic-socialist revolution and of a society that would point beyond social democracy as well as Bolshevism – a vision that will gain new significance in the twenty first century. \nJules Guesde represents the first book-length study of the French socialist leader translated into the English language. Jean-Numa Ducange’s scholarly biography of Guesde seeks to put his record on proper historical footing\, closely analysing both archival sources and accounts by his contemporaries. The book begins with his early life and the mark left on him by the Paris Commune and exile. The book concludes with an examination of Guesde’s contested legacy. \nRaya Dunayevskaya’s Intersectional Marxism brings to life her writings on state capitalism (part of her socio-economic critique of Stalinism\, fascism\, and the welfare state)\, to her writings on Rosa Luxemburg\, Black and women’s liberation\, and labor\, we are offered indispensable resources for navigating the perils of sexism\, racism\, capitalism\, and authoritarianism. This collection of essays\, from a diverse group of writers\, brings to life Dunayevskaya’s important contributions. Dunayevskaya’s Marxist-Humanism is recovered for the twenty-first century and turned\, as it was with Dunayevskaya herself\, to face the multiple alienations and de-humanizations of social life. \nMICHAEL BRIE is Head of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung in Berlin\, Germany. Recent books include Rediscovering Lenin: Dialectics of Revolution and Metaphysics of Domination (2019) and Karl Polanyi in Dialogue: A Socialist Thinker of Our Times (2017). \nJEAN-NUMA DUCANGE is Professor at Rouen University and member of Institut Universitaire de France. He is the co-director of the French journal Actuel Marx (PUF) and Austriaca (PURH)\, and one of the best scholars about the history of socialism (France\, Germany\, Austria). \nKIERAN DURKIN is Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow at University of York\, UK and has been a Visiting Scholar at University of California Santa Barbara\, where he studied the Humanist Marxist tradition. He is author of The Radical Humanism of Erich Fromm (2014) and Erich Fromm’s Critical Theory (co-edited with Joan Braune\, 2020). \n \nThis is the Part One in a three part winter spring series on Marx\, Engels\, Marxisms\, a large collection of important works by Marxists from all over the world. \nMarx\, Engels\, Marxisms: The Marx renaissance is underway on a global scale. Wherever the critique of capitalism re-emerges\, there is an intellectual and political demand for new\, critical engagements with Marxism. MARX\, ENGELS\, AND MARXISMS (edited by Marcello Musto & Terrell Carver\, with Babak Amini\, Francesca Antonini\, Paula Rauhala & Kohei Saito as Assistant Editors) is a peer-reviewed series. It is broad — comprised of monographs\, edited volumes\, critical editions\, reprints of old texts\, as well as translations of books already published in other languages. These volumes come from a wide range of political perspectives\, subject matters\, academic disciplines and geographical areas\, producing an eclectic and informative collection that appeals to a diverse and international audience. Main areas of focus include: the oeuvre of Marx and Engels\, Marxist authors and traditions of the 19th and 20th centuries\, labor and social movements\, Marxist analyses of contemporary issues\, and the reception of Marxism in the world. \nfor information on the entire series: https://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/14812 \nAll events are sliding scale.
