SUMMARY:Towards a Revolution in Labor History
DESCRIPTION:Norfolk\, Virginia shipyards\, built with chattel bond labor\nA reading of Theodore W. Allen’s unpublished manuscript\, “Towards a Revolution in Labor History\,” a text that challenges “the original sin of ‘white’ labor historiography\,” which according to Allen “lies in the misbegotten concept that excludes the Black bond-laborers from the ‘working class.’”\nIn this heretofore unpublished manuscript\, Theodore W. Allen\, author of the acclaimed The Invention of the White Race\, challenges a new generation of labor historians and activists to break from what he described as “The Great White Assumption … the acceptance of the ‘white’ identity of European Americans of all classes as a natural attribute rather than a social construct.” Allen maintains that this “assumption” has shaped the field of US labor history since the 19th century and “lies at the root of harmful omissions and distortions of the historical record\, which need to be criticized and corrected if the study of labor history is to contribute to the development of class consciousness of the American working class and a viable alternative to the ruinous policies of the ruling class.” We will read Allen’s manuscript along with selections from other works by Allen and other labor historians. \nConvened with Sean Ahern. Sean was radicalized as an NYC high school student between 1968-1971 and was drawn to activism in labor struggles in the 70s and 80s with the American Postal Workers Union and the Transport Workers. Sean lives on the Lower East Side where he grew up and went to school. Sean met Theodore Allen in 1971\, studied with him\, and helped to distribute “Class Struggle and the Origin of Racial Slavery: The Invention of the White Race” (1975)\, which served as a précis for The Invention of the White Race.

SUMMARY:The Political Writings of Marx and Engels: Part II\, Surveys From Exile
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 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. That class has the power\, by abolishing itself\, to usher in a society beyond class exploitation. The primary text is the anthology Karl Marx: The Political Writings\, three volumes in one\, recently published by Verso. \nThis group began in fall 2022 and completed part 1 of the text\, covering the Communist Manifesto and Marx’s commentary on the 1848 revolutions in Europe as they unfolded. In this part 2\, we will be reading the “Surveys From Exile” section\, which begins with “The Class Struggles in France 1848-1850” and takes us through Marx’s articles on the Civil War in the United States. \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:Towards a Revolution in Labor History
DESCRIPTION:Norfolk\, Virginia shipyards\, built with chattel bond labor\nA reading of Theodore W. Allen’s unpublished manuscript\, “Towards a Revolution in Labor History\,” a text that challenges “the original sin of ‘white’ labor historiography\,” which according to Allen “lies in the misbegotten concept that excludes the Black bond-laborers from the ‘working class.’”\nIn this heretofore unpublished manuscript\, Theodore W. Allen\, author of the acclaimed The Invention of the White Race\, challenges a new generation of labor historians and activists to break from what he described as “The Great White Assumption … the acceptance of the ‘white’ identity of European Americans of all classes as a natural attribute rather than a social construct.” Allen maintains that this “assumption” has shaped the field of US labor history since the 19th century and “lies at the root of harmful omissions and distortions of the historical record\, which need to be criticized and corrected if the study of labor history is to contribute to the development of class consciousness of the American working class and a viable alternative to the ruinous policies of the ruling class.” We will read Allen’s manuscript along with selections from other works by Allen and other labor historians. \nConvened with Sean Ahern. Sean was radicalized as an NYC high school student between 1968-1971 and was drawn to activism in labor struggles in the 70s and 80s with the American Postal Workers Union and the Transport Workers. Sean lives on the Lower East Side where he grew up and went to school. Sean met Theodore Allen in 1971\, studied with him\, and helped to distribute “Class Struggle and the Origin of Racial Slavery: The Invention of the White Race” (1975)\, which served as a précis for The Invention of the White Race.

SUMMARY:The Political Writings of Marx and Engels: Part II\, Surveys From Exile
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 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. That class has the power\, by abolishing itself\, to usher in a society beyond class exploitation. The primary text is the anthology Karl Marx: The Political Writings\, three volumes in one\, recently published by Verso. \nThis group began in fall 2022 and completed part 1 of the text\, covering the Communist Manifesto and Marx’s commentary on the 1848 revolutions in Europe as they unfolded. In this part 2\, we will be reading the “Surveys From Exile” section\, which begins with “The Class Struggles in France 1848-1850” and takes us through Marx’s articles on the Civil War in the United States. \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:Cedric Robinson's Black Marxism
DESCRIPTION:This study group is reading and discussing Cedric Robinson’s Black Marxism. Robinson argued that Black radicalism must be linked to the traditions of Africa and the unique experiences of Blacks on western continents. Analyses of African-American history need to acknowledge this; from the time of the early formation of a world bourgeoisie\, to the African diaspora\, to the Atlantic slave trade\, to the 20th Century. Robinson’s text also addresses the work and legacies of C.L.R. James\, W.E.B. Dubois\, and Richard Wright in their anticapitalist positions and their contributions to and conflicts with Western Marxism. Convened by William Stroud and Peter Wilson.

SUMMARY:Cedric Robinson's Black Marxism
DESCRIPTION:This study group is reading and discussing Cedric Robinson’s Black Marxism. Robinson argued that Black radicalism must be linked to the traditions of Africa and the unique experiences of Blacks on western continents. Analyses of African-American history need to acknowledge this; from the time of the early formation of a world bourgeoisie\, to the African diaspora\, to the Atlantic slave trade\, to the 20th Century. Robinson’s text also addresses the work and legacies of C.L.R. James\, W.E.B. Dubois\, and Richard Wright in their anticapitalist positions and their contributions to and conflicts with Western Marxism. Convened by William Stroud and Peter Wilson.
