SUMMARY:Victor Serge: Unruly Revolutionary\, with Mitchell Abidor
DESCRIPTION:A video of this November 1\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nMitchell Abidor\, author of Victor Serge: Unruly Revolutionary presents the book in conversation with Jacob Plitman\, former publisher of Jewish Currents. \nToday\, thanks to his classic memoirs and novels\, Victor Serge is highly esteemed by virtually all segments of the left. But who was this man\, who led such a thrilling life on the frontlines of history? An anarchist? A Bolshevik? A Trotskyist? Or did he evolve into something else entirely? In this comprehensive account of Serge’s life\, work\, and political evolution\, Mitchell Abidor rescues his subject\, in all his complexity\, from the constraints of any single label. Painting a portrait of a man whose political ideas shifted continually in response to the major events of his life\, we are introduced to several Victor Serges: the youthful anarchist in Belgium and France; the leading Bolshevik in Moscow; the anti-Stalinist who faced imprisonment and expulsion from the Soviet Union. Examining the lacunae and errors of fact in his memoirs\, Abidor reveals the hidden Serge for what he ultimately was: an unruly revolutionary of both great courage and contradictions. \nMitchell Abidor is a writer and translator living in Brooklyn\, New York. In addition to his many translation works\, he is the author of May Made Me and I’ll Forget It When I Die!: The Bisbee Deportation of 1917. Abidor is the translator and editor of Victor Serge’s anarchist writings\, Anarchists Never Surrender\, and translated with Richard Greeman Serge’s Notebooks (1936-1947). \nA 30% discount code for Victor Serge and other Pluto Press books by Mitchell Abidor will be provided to all ticket purchasers.

SUMMARY:Aristotle\, Hegel\, Marx: A Philosophical Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:A video of this June 29\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nJoin us for a dialogue on philosophical themes featuring two authors of forthcoming books from Stanford University Press. Michael Lazarus is the author of Absolute Ethical Life: Aristotle\, Hegel and Marx\, and Jensen Suther is the author of True Materialism: Hegelian Marxism and the Modernist Struggle for Freedom.  Lazarus situates Marx within a shared tradition of ethical inquiry\, placing him in close dialogue with Aristotle and Hegel. His book traces the ethical and political dimensions of Marx’s work missed by Hannah Arendt and Alasdair MacIntyre\, two of the most profound critics of modern politics and ethics. Ultimately\, the book claims that Marx’s value-form theory is both a continuation of Aristotelian and Hegelian themes and at the same time his most distinctive theoretical achievement. In True Materialism\, Suther engages with three titans of literary modernism—Franz Kafka\, Thomas Mann\, and Samuel Beckett—to pursue not only an account of Hegel’s materialism but also a new critique of capitalist modernity. Breaking with the received view of Marx’s relation to German Idealism\, the book argues that the materialist critique of capitalist production is inseparable from Hegel’s idea that the demand for freedom is a demand for mutual recognition. \nMichael Lazarus is a postdoctoral research fellow at Deakin University. \nJensen Suther received his PhD from Yale University and is currently a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows.

SUMMARY:'Roses for Gramsci' with Andy Merrifield
DESCRIPTION:A video of this May 17\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nAuthor Andy Merrifield presents Roses for Gramsci\, a remarkable personal journey through the life and writings of the great Sardinian Marxist\, Antonio Gramsci. \nIn the summer of 2023\, Merrifield and his family move from the UK to Rome to begin a new life. Soon after his arrival\, the author visits Gramsci’s grave and decides to take a volunteer position helping to maintain the cemetery. At the Non-Catholic Cemetery\, home also to the great Romantics\, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats\, he keeps a watchful eye on Gramsci’s tombstone\, talking to some of his visitors\, admiring the roses and notes that Gramsci’s guests leave\, and communing with the sentinel cat that keeps watch near the gravesite. Thus begins Merrifield’s deep dive into Gramsci’s life almost a century after his death. \nThe result is a stunning portrait that offers fresh insights into nearly every aspect of Gramsci’s often tortured existence: a childhood scarred by severe health problems; his grasp of the culture of workers and peasants; his growing understanding of political economy; his friendship with the economist Piero Sraffa; his frustration trying to communicate with and be father to the son he never saw; his generosity and kindness. Above all\, Merrifield illuminates how Gramsci kept his humanity\, suffering horribly in prison while writing a revolutionary classic\, The Prison Notebooks. Personal\, compassionate\, moving—and illustrated with the author’s photographs —Merrifield revives both the legacy and meaning of Gramsci’s work and the dying art of belles lettres. Roses for Gramsci is an evocative and indelible book. \nAndy Merrifield is an independent scholar and author of a dozen books including\, most recently\, Beyond Plague Urbanism and Marx\, Dead and Alive: Reading “Capital” in Precarious Times. He has written numerous articles\, essays and reviews appearing in Monthly Review\, The Nation\, Harper’s Magazine\, New Left Review\, The Guardian\, Literary Hub\, Jacobin\, and Dissent. He is a prolific writer about urbanism\, political theory and literature.

SUMMARY:Karl Marx and Republicanism: Reading 'Citizen Marx'
DESCRIPTION:“… It is still not adequately appreciated that Marx’s principal political value was freedom\,\nrather than\, say\, equality or community.” Bruno Leipold\, Citizen Marx \nA five-session reading group\nWhat better time than the present moment to revisit Karl Marx’s commitment to the democratic republic as a necessary (if not sufficient) step on the path to human freedom? Over five weekly meetings we will read and discuss Bruno Leipold’s recently published Citizen Marx: Republicanism and the Formation of Karl Marx’s Social and Political Thought. As some of the most powerful capitalists in history are openly disavowing political democracy and calling for the unbridled rule of private wealth\, we revisit Karl Marx’s revolutionary republicanism and his ideas about political power and social classes. \nConvened 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:'The Late Marx's Revolutionary Roads' with author Kevin Anderson
DESCRIPTION:A video of this March 29\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nKevin B. Anderson presents his newly published book\, The Late Marx’s Revolutionary Roads\, based on systematic analysis of Karl Marx’s “Ethnological Notebooks” and related Marx texts from his final years\, 1869-1883. \nIn these writings\, Marx traveled beyond the boundaries of capital and class in the Western European and North American contexts\, turning his attention to colonialism\, agrarian Russia and India\, Indigenous societies\, and gender. Anderson’s book focuses on how the late Marx sees a wider revolution that included the European proletariat but would be touched off by revolts by oppressed ethno-racial groups\, peasant communes\, and Indigenous communist groups\, in many of which women held great social power. As Anderson shows\, the late Marx elaborated a truly global\, multilinear theory of modern society and its revolutionary possibilities that continues to speak to us today. \nThe Late Marx’s Revolutionary Roads: Colonialism\, Gender\, and Indigenous Communism is available from Verso and from other online booksellers. \nKevin B. Anderson teaches at University of California\, Santa Barbara. He has been a scholar-activist since the 1970s\, working in social and political theory\, especially Marx\, Hegel\, Lenin\, Luxemburg\, Marxist humanism\, and the Frankfurt School. Among his numerous books are Lenin\, Hegel\, and Western Marxism (1995)\, Foucault and the Iranian Revolution: Gender and the Seductions of Islamism (with Janet Afary\, 2005)\, and Marx at the Margins: On Nationalism\, Ethnicity and Non-Western Societies (2010/2016). He is is the coeditor\, with Peter Hudis\, of the Rosa Luxemburg Reader. He writes regularly for New Politics\, The International Marxist-Humanist\, LA Progressive\, and Jacobin.

SUMMARY:'Citizen Marx' with author Bruno Leipold
DESCRIPTION:A video of this March 26\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nAs some of the most powerful capitalists in history are openly disavowing political democracy and calling for the unbridled rule of private wealth\, now is a good time to revisit Karl Marx’s revolutionary republicanism and his ideas about political power and social classes. In his recently published Citizen Marx: Republicanism and the Formation of Karl Marx’s Social and Political Thought\, Bruno Leipold argues that Karl Marx’s thinking was deeply informed by republicanism. Challenging common depictions of Marx that downplay or ignore his commitment to politics\, democracy\, and freedom\, Leipold shows that Marx viewed democratic political institutions as crucial to overcoming the social unfreedom and domination of capitalism.  \nPlacing Marx’s republican communism in its historical context—but not consigning him to that context—Leipold traces Marx’s shifting relationship to republicanism across three broad periods. First\, Marx began his political life as a republican committed to a democratic republic in which citizens held active popular sovereignty. Second\, he transitioned to communism\, criticizing republicanism but incorporating the republican opposition to arbitrary power into his social critiques. He argued that although a democratic republic was not sufficient for emancipation\, it was necessary for it. Third\, spurred by the events of the Paris Commune of 1871\, he came to view popular control in representation and public administration as essential to the realization of communism. Leipold shows how Marx positioned his republican communism to displace both antipolitical socialism and anticommunist republicanism. One of Marx’s great contributions\, Leipold suggests\, was to place politics (and especially democratic politics) at the heart of socialism. \nBruno Leipold is a fellow in political theory at the London School of Economics and Political Science.\nHe is the coeditor of Radical Republicanism: Recovering the Tradition’s Popular Heritage.

SUMMARY:Karl Marx and the Birth of Modern Society
DESCRIPTION:A video of this March 26\, 2024\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \n\n\nMichael Heinrich presents his biography-in-progress of Karl Marx\, which has already gained glowing reviews from Marxist scholars the world over. In the first volume published in English by Monthly Review Press\, Karl Marx and the Birth of Modern Society\, Heinrich deals extensively with Marx’s youth and his studies in Bonn and Berlin. It also examines the function of poetry in Marx’s intellectual development and his first encounter with Hegelian philosophy and the so-called “young Hegelians.” The volume begins a multidimensional look at Karl Marx and aims to include what most biographies have reduced to mere background: the contemporary conflicts\, struggles\, and disputes that engaged Marx at the time of his writings\, alongside his complex relationships with a varied assortment of friends and opponents. \n\n“A masterful work by one of the leading Marx scholars of his generation. Simply wonderful—analytical depth\, critical knowledge\, clarity of comprehension and presentation\, grasp of theoretical and historical contexts\, combine to create a most insightful Marx biography that will be an indispensable and lasting resource that scholars and researchers\, activists and critics alike\, should—and will—return to frequently.” —Werner Bonefeld\, University of York\, UK; author\, Critical Theory and the Critique of Political Economy \nMarx has found his perfect biographer…. Heinrich’s attitude is the same as that of Marx: DOUBT EVERYTHING\, even Marx himself. Only through this critical perspective Marx’s ambiguities and contradictions can be revealed\, and his greatness and legacy be reclaimed. —Riccardo Bellofiore\, University of Bergamo\, Italy; author\, In Marx’s Laboratory: Critical Interpretations of the Grundrisse \nMichael Heinrich teaches economics in Berlin and is managing editor of PROKLA: Journal for Critical Social Science. He is the author of The Science of Value: Marx’s Critique of Political Economy between Scientific Revolution and Classical Tradition\, and editor\, with Werner Bonefeld\, of Capital and Critique: After the “New Reading” of Marx.

SUMMARY:Marx for Cats with Leigh Claire La Berge
DESCRIPTION:A video of this February 24\, 2024\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \n“All history is the history of cat struggle.” In Marx for Cats: A Radical Bestiary\, our guest speaker Leigh Claire La Berge follows feline footprints through Western economic history to reveal an animality at the heart of Marxism. She draws on a twelve-hundred-year arc spanning capitalism’s feudal prehistory\, its colonialist and imperialist ages\, the bourgeois revolutions that supported capitalism\, and the communist revolutions that opposed it. Attending to myriad archival appearance of lions\, tigers\, wildcats\, and other felines\, La Berge argues that these creatures have been central to Marxist understandings of the economy and politics. Asking what humans and animals owe each other in a moment of ecological crisis\, La Berge joins current debates about ecosocialism. This playful and generously illustrated radical bestiary demonstrates that class struggle is ultimately an interspecies collaboration. \nThis event is held in conjunction with the MEP’s reading group Multispecies Marxism where we are discussing the central role of nonhuman animals in the capitalist economy\, historically and today. \nLeigh Claire La Berge is Professor of English at Borough of Manhattan Community College\, CUNY\, and author of Marx for Cats as well as Wages Against Artwork: Decommodified Labor and the Claims of Socially Engaged Art. \nRegister for the Zoom event and you will receive a 40% discount code to purchase Marx for Cats from Duke University Press. Participants are encouraged to read some or all of the book beforehand.

SUMMARY:The Spectre Still Haunting: Introducing the Revolutionary Politics of Marx and Engels
DESCRIPTION:An introductory 10-week reading group for those just getting acquainted with Marxist ideas\, based on Marx and Engels’ elegant and rousing classic The Manifesto of the Communist Party and Frederick Engels’ Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. We will be guided by China Miéville’s thoughtful\, provocative meditations on the Manifesto\, A Spectre Haunting. While Miéville is best known for his speculative fiction\, he is equally brilliant as a contemporary communist political commentator. \nA manifesto embraces contradiction. It is unafraid of paradox.\nIt provokes and insists and jokes and it’s quite serious. –China Miéville \nFacilitated by David Worley of the MEP’s Revolutions Study Group.

SUMMARY:Reading Marx in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:An eight-week reading group centered on Kohei Saito’s newly published Marx in the Anthropocene: Toward the Idea of Degrowth Communism\, with side glances at Saito’s critics and further elaborations of the notion of “degrowth communism.” Saito’s book\, says Gareth Dale\, offers us “the next step in a transformation of our understanding of ‘Marx’s ecology.’ For his Marx\, human society arises from nature: it is simultaneously of it and against it\, in that humans are conscious of their relationship to nature and consciously shape it\, in a relationship that develops historically. The term that captures this is metabolism\, referring to humanity’s interaction with nature through social labor—a relationship that becomes increasingly riven the more it is subsumed under capital.” Through a close examination of Marx’s unpublished notes on natural science and anthropology from the 1870s\, Saito uncovers Marx’s late recognition that the productive forces “do not automatically prepare the material foundation for new post-capitalist society but rather exacerbate the robbery of nature.” Thus he presents us with a Marx who in his final years was effectively advocating “degrowth communism.” \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy\, who has led numerous MEP study groups on Marxism\, ecosocialism\, science and technology\, and Latin American history and politics.

SUMMARY:Political Writings of Marx and Engels III
DESCRIPTION:This group is reading and discussing 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. This third and final series takes up articles on India\, China\, and European colonialism; essays on the Civil War in the United States; documents related to the International Workingmen’s Association; Marx’s classic The Civil War in France and related essays; polemics against Bakunin; and Marx’s correspondence about the rise of the workers’ political party in Germany\, including his Critique of the Gotha Program. \nAll readings are available in the Verso Press anthology Karl Marx: The Political Writings. These writings are also available from many other sources in book form and online. \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:Political Writings of Marx and Engels III
DESCRIPTION:This group is reading and discussing 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. This third and final series takes up articles on India\, China\, and European colonialism; essays on the Civil War in the United States; documents related to the International Workingmen’s Association; Marx’s classic The Civil War in France and related essays; polemics against Bakunin; and Marx’s correspondence about the rise of the workers’ political party in Germany\, including his Critique of the Gotha Program. \nAll readings are available in the Verso Press anthology Karl Marx: The Political Writings. These writings are also available from many other sources in book form and online. \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:Reading Marx in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:An eight-week reading group centered on Kohei Saito’s newly published Marx in the Anthropocene: Toward the Idea of Degrowth Communism\, with side glances at Saito’s critics and further elaborations of the notion of “degrowth communism.” Saito’s book\, says Gareth Dale\, offers us “the next step in a transformation of our understanding of ‘Marx’s ecology.’ For his Marx\, human society arises from nature: it is simultaneously of it and against it\, in that humans are conscious of their relationship to nature and consciously shape it\, in a relationship that develops historically. The term that captures this is metabolism\, referring to humanity’s interaction with nature through social labor—a relationship that becomes increasingly riven the more it is subsumed under capital.” Through a close examination of Marx’s unpublished notes on natural science and anthropology from the 1870s\, Saito uncovers Marx’s late recognition that the productive forces “do not automatically prepare the material foundation for new post-capitalist society but rather exacerbate the robbery of nature.” Thus he presents us with a Marx who in his final years was effectively advocating “degrowth communism.” \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy\, who has led numerous MEP study groups on Marxism\, ecosocialism\, science and technology\, and Latin American history and politics.
