SUMMARY:Translating 'Capital' for the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:A recording of this December 14\, 2024\, event is available on YouTube. \nThe appearance of a new English-language edition of Marx’s Capital\, Volume I\, translated by Paul Reitter and edited by Paul North and Paul Reitter\, has been a momentous occasion. Join a conversation with Reitter and noted Marx scholar Michael Heinrich on the challenges of translating Marx for 21st century readers\, the weaknesses and strengths of earlier translations\, and the ways the new edition can help us understand Marx’s analyses of capital and value. \nPaul Reitter is Professor of Germanic languages and literatures at The Ohio State University\, where his scholarship focuses on German-Jewish culture and the history of higher education. He is the author of The Anti-Journalist: Karl Kraus and Jewish Self-Fashioning in Fin-de-Siecle Europe; On the Origins of Jewish Self-Hatred\, and Bambi’s Jewish Roots: Essays on German-Jewish Culture. \nMichael Heinrich served on the Editorial Board for the new edition of Capital. He taught economics in Berlin and was managing editor of PROKLA: Journal for Critical Social Science. He is the author of a number of books on Marx and Capital\, including An Introduction to the Three Volumes of Karl Marx’s Capital\, Karl Marx and the Birth of Modern Society\, and The Science of Value: Marx’s Critique of Political Economy between Scientific Revolution and Classical Tradition.

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: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: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: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.
