SUMMARY:Reading Marx’s Capital\, Volume I (second series)
DESCRIPTION:Covering Parts III and IV of Capital\, volume 1\nJoin us in a close reading of Volume 1 of Marx’s Capital – already in progress – guided by an experienced team led by Lisa Maya Knauer. This spring\, we are reading Parts III and IV\, on the production of absolute and relative surplus value. Each week\, we recap the passages covered at the previous session\, introduce new material\, and open up a discussion. We read the more challenging sections together a paragraph or two at a time. Supplementary materials and/or questions for reflection are circulated prior to each week’s session\, and the conversation continues in the group’s Slack channel. \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. \nReview our Privacy Policy

SUMMARY:Reading Marx's Capital\, Volume I
DESCRIPTION:“Scornful neglect and intemperate hostility\, haughty dismissal…\, selective co-optation and … bowdlerization”: this is how Marcello Musto\, author of The Marx Revival\, describes responses to the ideas of Karl Marx by respectable pundits over the past century. To truly appreciate Marx’s thinking\, there is no substitute for a close reading of Capital: A Critique of Political Economy\, Marx’s sustained effort to describe and explain the origin and trajectory of modern society: of “capitalism\,” a system of production that now dominates the most remote corners of the globe. Marx was arguably the first writer on the subject to immerse himself not only in theories of political economy but in concrete economic and sociological data (such as it was at the time). The study of Capital is at the core of the Marxist Education Project. \nParticipants in this class will closely read and discuss Marx’s Capital\, volume 1\, guided by Lisa Maya Knauer and other experienced students of Marx from the MEP. We will use a hybrid approach to cover the entire book. For key chapters or sections\, we will do a line-by-line reading with commentary and occasional supplemental materials. Participants will read other sections on their own\, and we will summarize and discuss when we meet. The course is offered in 11-week segments\, recurring until we have read the entire book (however long that takes). \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.

SUMMARY:Reading Mike Davis: Between Catastrophe and Revolution
DESCRIPTION:A series of readings to commemorate\, celebrate\, and learn from the ecological/Marxist writings of Mike Davis (1946-2022). Davis’s works spanned urban studies to history\, geography to political science\, and more. They have become crucial reference points for the production of new knowledge by generations of scholars\, artists\, and activists. During 10 weekly sessions we will read and discuss key chapters from five of Mike Davis’s books: Planet of Slums\, Dead Cities\, Ecology of Fear\, Late Victorian Holocausts\, and Old Gods\, New Enigmas. \nConvened by Fred Murphy and Steve Knight\, who have co-led the MEP’s Ecosocialist Study Group since 2016.

DESCRIPTION:A series of readings to commemorate\, celebrate\, and learn from the ecological/Marxist writings of Mike Davis (1946-2022). Davis’s works spanned urban studies to history\, geography to political science\, and more. They have become crucial reference points for the production of new knowledge by generations of scholars\, artists\, and activists. During 10 weekly sessions we will read and discuss key chapters from five of Mike Davis’s books: Planet of Slums\, Dead Cities\, Ecology of Fear\, Late Victorian Holocausts\, and Old Gods\, New Enigmas. \nConvened by Fred Murphy and Steve Knight\, who have co-led the MEP’s Ecosocialist Study Group since 2016.

SUMMARY:Reading Marx's Capital\, Volume I
DESCRIPTION:“Scornful neglect and intemperate hostility\, haughty dismissal…\, selective co-optation and … bowdlerization”: this is how Marcello Musto\, author of The Marx Revival\, describes responses to the ideas of Karl Marx by respectable pundits over the past century. To truly appreciate Marx’s thinking\, there is no substitute for a close reading of Capital: A Critique of Political Economy\, Marx’s sustained effort to describe and explain the origin and trajectory of modern society: of “capitalism\,” a system of production that now dominates the most remote corners of the globe. Marx was arguably the first writer on the subject to immerse himself not only in theories of political economy but in concrete economic and sociological data (such as it was at the time). The study of Capital is at the core of the Marxist Education Project. \nParticipants in this class will closely read and discuss Marx’s Capital\, volume 1\, guided by Lisa Maya Knauer and other experienced students of Marx from the MEP. We will use a hybrid approach to cover the entire book. For key chapters or sections\, we will do a line-by-line reading with commentary and occasional supplemental materials. Participants will read other sections on their own\, and we will summarize and discuss when we meet. The course is offered in 11-week segments\, recurring until we have read the entire book (however long that takes). \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. \n  \nReview the MEP’s Privacy Policy

SUMMARY:Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire
DESCRIPTION:A video of this October 29\, 2022\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nIt’s in our food\, our cosmetics\, our fuel and our bodies. Palm oil\, found in half of supermarket products\, has shaped our world. Max Haiven uncovers how the gears of capitalism are literally and metaphorically lubricated by this ubiquitous elixir. With a sweeping\, experimental narrative\, Haiven takes us on a global journey that includes looted treasures\, the American system of mass incarceration\, the history of modern art and the industrialisation of war. Beyond simply calling for more consumer boycotts\, Haiven argues for recognising in palm oil humanity’s profound potential to shape our world beyond racial capitalism and neo-colonial dispossession. \nMax Haiven is a writer and teacher and Canada Research Chair in Culture\, Media and Social Justice. His most recent books are Art after Money\, Money after Art: Creative Strategies Against Financialization (2018) and Revenge Capitalism: The Ghosts of Empire\, the Demons of Capital\, and the Settling of Unpayable Debts (2020). Max also edits VAGABONDS\, a series of short\, radical books from Pluto Press. He teaches at Lakehead University\, where he co-directs the ReImagining Value Action Lab (RiVAL).

SUMMARY:Adventure Capitalism: Raymond Craib Looks at 'Libertarian Exit'
DESCRIPTION:Watch the video of this October 22\, 2022\, event on YouTube \nThe past half century is littered with the remains of experiments in “libertarian exit.” Raymond Craib‘s new PM Press book Adventure Capitalism traces the history history of individualist\, property-oriented “escape” projects pursued by the likes of Michael Oliver\, Peter Thiel\, and Bitcoin bros. Based on research in archives in the US\, the UK\, and Vanuatu\, as well as in FBI files\, Craib explores in careful detail the ideology and practice of libertarian exit and its place in the histories of contemporary cap­italism\, decolonization\, empire\, and oceans and islands. \nRaymond Craib teaches History at Cornell University. His research interests lie at the intersection of geography\, politics\, and everyday practice. His other works include The Cry of the Renegade: Politics and Poetry in Interwar Chile; Cartographic Mexico: A History of State Fixations and Fugitive Landscapes; and\, with Barry Maxwell\, No Gods No Masters No Peripheries: Global Anarchisms.

SUMMARY:State Forms and Forming States: A 2-day presentation
DESCRIPTION:Two afternoons with The Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture\nIn a two-part presentation\, the Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture will share our collective research on states: states of governmentality\, states of matter\, states of being. States move through us\, states congeal borders\, states govern\, states violate\, states intervene\, states organize abandonment\, states let die. States also signal a condition of being–states of emergency\, states of grace\, states of matter\, statelessness. What a sorry state you’re in! There are corrupt states\, failed states\, and disordered states of the economy. In many “state” formations\, stability is revered. We challenge its troubling promise to bind places and peoples together\, to curate state feelings\, while attending to the ways in which groups gather to diffuse and refuse boundaries in altered states. Together\, our panels suggest that when states transform\, perhaps it is a revolution or perhaps–it is alchemy. \nThe project is divided into two halves: \nFirst part: STATE CURATORS\nSaturday\, May 21\, 4 to 6 pm US and Canada EDT / 8 to 10 pm GMT\n“State Curators\,” takes up histories of sovereignty and governmentality\, and the relationship between knowledge\, culture\, and the state. Moving across the Mexico-Texas border\, colonial India and Reconstruction America\, Harlem and postcolonial Algeria and Cuba\, it looks at state-associated actors from social scientists to missionaries to poets. \nSecond part: FLUID STATES\nSunday\, May 22\, 4 to 6 pm US and Canada EDT / 8 to 10 pm GMT\n“Fluid States\,” considers the inherent instabilities of sovereign states and states of matter\, lingering on contemporary texts and objects that are in fluid states\, with fuzzy borders and internal incoherence–at times evading capture and at others\, facilitating capitalist exchange. \n  \nTHE YALE WORKING GROUP ON GLOBALIZATION AND CULTURE http://wggc.yale.edu/ is an interdisciplinary cultural studies laboratory that has been practicing collective research at Yale University since 2003. Over the years\, we have presented  work at numerous cultural studies conferences as well at the Marxist Education Project\, the Left Forum\, Occupy Boston\, and the World Social Forum. Projects have been published as “Going into Debt\,” online in Social Text’s Periscope\, and as “Spaces and Times of Occupation” in Transforming Anthropology; a collective interview regarding “Matters of Life and Death” appeared in Revue Française d’Études Américaines.  \n THE CURRENT MEMBERS OF WGGC: Aanchal Saraf\,  Damanpreet Pelia\, Ever Osorio\, Jessica Marion Modi\, Kelvin Ng\, Lucero Estrella\, Maru Pabón\, Michael Denning\, and Monique Flores Ulysses \nThe current members work in African-American studies\,  American studies\,  Latinx studies\, history\, literary criticism\, and women’s\, gender and sexuality studies.

SUMMARY:The Solutions are Already Here with author Peter Gelderloos
DESCRIPTION:Strategies for Ecological Revolution from Below\nAs the climate crisis worsens\, we must look to revolutionary strategy for justice\nAre alternative energies and Green New Deals enough to deliver environmental justice? Peter Gelderloos argues that international governmental responses to the climate emergency are structurally incapable of solving the crisis. But there are possibilities. \n \nAcross the world\, grassroots networks of local communities are working to realize their visions of an alternative revolutionary response to planetary destruction\, often pitted against the new megaprojects promoted by greenwashed alternative energy infrastructures and the neocolonialist\, technocratic policies that are the forerunners of the Green New Deal. \nGelderloos interviews food sovereignty activists in Venezuela\, Indigenous communities reforesting their lands in Brazil and anarchists fighting biofuel plantations in Indonesia\, looking at the battles that have cancelled airports\, stopped pipelines\, and helped the most marginalized to fight borders and environmental racism\, to transform their cities\, to win a dignified survival. \nAll author royalties and proceeds from this event will go to the Indigenous reforesting initiatives in Brazil and anarchists fighting biofuels in Indonesia. \nPETER GELDERLOOS is a writer and movement participant. He is the author of How Nonviolence Protects the State\, Anarchy Works and Worshiping Power: An Anarchist View of Early State Formation. He has contributed chapters to anthologies Keywords for Radicals and Riots and Militant Occupations. \n

SUMMARY:Rubbish Belongs to the Poor
DESCRIPTION:Hygienic Enclosure and the Waste Commons\nPresentation and discussion with author Patrick O’Hare\nRubbish. Waste. Trash. Whatever term you choose to describe the things we throw away\, the connotations are the same; of something dirty\, useless and incontrovertibly ‘bad’. But does such a dismissive rendering mask a more nuanced reality? \nIn Rubbish Belongs to the Poor\, Patrick O’Hare journeys to the heart of Uruguay’s waste disposal system in order to reconceptualize rubbish as a 21st century commons\, at risk of enclosure. On a giant landfill site outside the capital Montevideo we meet the book’s central protagonists\, the ‘classifiers’: waste-pickers who recover and recycle materials in and around its fenced but porous perimeter. Here the struggle of classifiers against the enclosure of the landfill\, justified on the grounds of hygiene\, is brought into dialogue with other historical and contemporary enclosures – from urban privatizations to rural evictions — to shed light on the nature of contemporary forms of capitalist dispossession. \nSupplementing this rich ethnography with the author’s own insights from dumpster diving in the UK\, the book analyzes capitalism’s relations with its material surpluses and what these tell us about its expansionary logics\, limits and liminal spaces. Rubbish Belongs to the Poor ultimately proposes a fundamental rethinking of the links between waste\, capitalism and dignified work. \nPatrick O’Hare is a social anthropologist and activist. He completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge and is currently a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow and Senior Researcher at the University of St Andrews. \nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you choose 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@marxedproject.org for more information and other events and classes. \nZoom info for these sessions: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84694992151
