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 Through a close examination of Marx’s unpublished notes on natural science and anthropology from the 1870s\, Saito uncovers Marx’s late recognition that the productive forces “do not automatically prepare the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.

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.

This group will read and discuss 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 – the class that has the power\, by abolishing itself\, to usher in a society beyond class exploitation. The primary text is the recently published anthology Karl Marx: The Political Writings with introduction by David Fernbach (Verso – 3 volumes in one\, in paperback and e-book). We will also read extensively from Hal Draper’s Karl Marx’s Theory of Revolution\, vol. 2\, The Politics of Social Classes (MR Press; paper-back and e-book). Note that the Marx writings are available in many other places. \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.

SUMMARY:The Political Writings of Marx and Engels: Social Classes\, Revolution\, and Human Freedom
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.

SUMMARY:A Guide to The Communist Manifesto with Phil Gasper
DESCRIPTION:The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels \nA presentation with Phil Gasper \n“…All this attention to Marx’s ideas is certainly welcome. But – and of course there is a ‘but’ – with few exceptions\, recent commentators have restricted their praise of the Manifesto to what it says about the nature and workings of the capitalist system. Yet Marx and Engels did not write the Manifesto as a piece of abstract economic analysis. It was intended as a revolutionary call to action – an explanation not only of what is wrong with society\, but how it can be transformed to create “an association\, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all” (Pt. II\, ¶ 74). Central to this strategy for change is their claim that in the modern working class – the proletariat – capitalism has produced “its own gravediggers” (Pt. I\, ¶ 53). That is\, that capitalism itself has created the instrument of its abolition – an oppressed class with both the capacity and the interest to fight for the overthrow of the existing system\, the emancipation of all humanity\, and which\, unlike previous oppressed classes\, Twas capable of democratic self-rule…. The claim that the proletariat is a revolutionary class is the heart and soul of  The Communist Manifesto.”      —Phil Gasper\, International Socialist Review\, Issue 5 \nHere\, at last\, is an authoritative introduction to history’s most important political document\, with the full text of The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels. This beautifully organized and presented edition of The Communist Manifestois fully annotated\, with clear historical references and explication\, additional related texts\, and a glossary that will bring the text to life for students\, as well as the general reader. Since it was first written in 1848\, the Manifesto has been translated into more languages than any other modern text. It has been banned\, censored\, burned\, and declared “dead.” But year after year\, the text only grows more influential\, remaining required reading in courses on philosophy\, politics\, economics\, and history. \nPHIL GASPER is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Notre Dame de Namur University and the editor of The Communist Manifesto: A Road Map to History’s Most Important Political Document (Haymarket\, 2005) and Imperialism and War: Classic Writings by V.I. Lenin and Nikolai Bukarin (Haymarket\, 2017). He is a co-editor of the journal New Politics and a member of DSA and of the Tempest Collective. He lives in Madison\, Wisconsin. \nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you choose to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.
