SUMMARY:Climate\, Class\, and Degrowth
DESCRIPTION:Join the MEP’s Ecosocialist Study Group as we reconvene to consider two new Verso titles that are provoking wide discussion and debate: Matt Huber’s Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming Planet\, and The Future Is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism\, by Matthias Schmelzer\, Aaron Vansintjan\, and Andrea Vetter. As one reviewer noted\, “Both take as foundational premises that we must move beyond capitalism to solve the climate crisis\, yet they critique political economy in fundamentally different ways. While The Future is Degrowth argues for abolishing the capitalist growth imperative\, Climate Change as Class War argues against degrowth and advocates for a decommodified Green New Deal.” We will address such questions as: What do advocates of “degrowth” mean by this term? How and why do capitalist growth and accumulation threaten human survival? What are the most useful frameworks to help us organize movements for climate justice? What demands should we prioritize and what lessons can we draw from previous historical movements? How can utopian thinking expand our horizons in what must be a massive fight for a more sustainable future? Where does working-class organizing come into the picture\, and what other allies and social forces can be mobilized? \nTen weekly sessions\, convened by Fred Murphy and Steve Knight\, who have co-led the Ecosocialist Study Group since 2016.

SUMMARY:Animals and Capitalism:
 Reading and Reflecting on ‘Porkopolis’
DESCRIPTION:Convened by Terike Haapoja and Fred Murphy\nA discussion and reading group on the central role of nonhuman animals in the capitalist economy\, both historically and today. We will explore the potential and limits of Marxist theory for addressing the roles and fates of nonhuman animals\, as well as ways to connect anticapitalist struggles to animal liberation and environmental justice. \nThe main reading will be Alex Blanchette’s Porkopolis: American Animality\, Standardized Life\, and the Factory Farm\, with supplemental texts on nonhuman animal work in the history of capitalism\, Marxism and animal liberation\, biological reproduction in animal agriculture\, and related topics. Through these readings we will explore how exploitation of animal bodies and the labor of nonhuman animals is bound up in the exploitation of human workers and the overall development of capitalism. Author Alex Blanchette will be joining us on March 9 to introduce his book. \nTerike Haapoja is a visual artist based in New York. Her interdisciplinary practice includes installations\, videos\, writings and collaborative projects that explore our relationship with the more-than-human world; mechanisms of exclusion and inclusion; and the possibility of political multispecies alliances. She is an adjunct professor at Parsons Fine Arts and New York University. \nFred Murphy has led numerous study groups on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, the history of capitalism\, and Latin American politics at the Marxist Education Project since 2015. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research. \n  \n  \nSix more sessions remain \n

SUMMARY:After the Pandemic: Rebuilding the Medicare for All Movement
DESCRIPTION:with Mark Dudzic \nThe world’s most expensive healthcare system failed catastrophically under the real-world structure test of the pandemic. This crisis drove home both the absurdity of linking healthcare to employment and the importance of treating healthcare as a decommodified public good. But the politics of the emerging post pandemic period are not conducive to big\, transformative initiatives like Medicare for All. We will explore this disjuncture between social necessity and political possibility and how it might be resolved with particular emphasis on the role of the institutional labor movement. \nMARK DUDZIC is the Chair of the Labor Campaign for Single Payer and is a longtime union organizer and activist. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Hard Right and the Political Parties of Capital
DESCRIPTION:2nd in the Socialist Register 58 Series: Old Polarizations\, New Contradictions: The Crisis of Centrism\nBILL FLETCHER                  Trump and the Danger of Right-wing Populism in the US\nSAMIR GANDESHA            Identity Crisis: The Politics of False Concreteness\nINGAR SOLTY                       Market Polarization Means Political Polarization \nBill Fletcher’s essay on the “Danger of Right-Wing Populism in the US” presents a careful appraisal of the forces marshalled on the right over the course of the Trump presidency\, leading to the insurrection of January 2021. Fletcher’s longstanding contention\, put forth in his widely-noted ‘Stars and Bars’ essay in the Politics of the Right volume\, was of the dangers of a rightwing mass movement emerging in the US. \nSamir Gandesha seeks an answer in what he identifies as ‘a fragmentation of the universalism that had historically underwritten the struggle for socialism’ leading to what he terms a ‘politics of false concreteness’ centered on forms of identity politics on both the left and the right. Indeed\, in the absence of a ‘left universalism’\, Gandesha argues\, ‘we can only expect the logic of polarization to drive an already accelerating authoritarianism\, as rightwing demagogues mobilize support based on racialized grievances’. This can only be met by a ‘class identity’ that seeks a universalism ‘in its own self-dissolution’\, that is\, in the struggle against classes as such and thus capitalism. \nIngar Solty’s “Market Polarization Means Political Polarization” is a third assessment of this particular moment. Solty’s contention is that the social polarizations that result from the market processes set in motion by neoliberalism bring with them a political polarization in the form of fissures in the party systems of liberal democracies\, allowing the hard right new political space to occupy and permitting varied forms of authoritarian nationalism to take hold. He concludes with the gravest of warnings: unless a new organized working-class politics emerges\, this world world will further and further slip down the slope of liberalism into fascism’. \nIN MEMORY OF LEO PANITCH • 1945-2020  / All of us at The Marxist Education Project appreciate all that Leo did and is continuing to do following his untimely death one year ago this past December. This series which begins on February 20 is presented in his memory as it represents a few of the many fruits that still spring from the myriad seeds that Leo has planted. \nBILL FLETCHER JR. is a long-time trade unionist\, writer\, and a past president of TransAfrica Forum.\nSAMIR GANDESHA is Professor and Director of the Institute for the Humanities at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver.\nINGAR SOLTY is Senior Research Fellow in Foreign\, Peace and Security Policy at the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation’s Institute for Critical Social Analysis in Berlin. \nAll book offers include US Media Mail. The book offers are for US addresses only as the costs for shipping outside of the US are often more than the price of the book. From Canada\, the book can be ordered from Fernwood. Merlin Press in the UK is the best source for other areas of the world. \nAll events are sliding scale. No one is denied admission for inability to pay.

SUMMARY:The Politics of Permaculture with Terry Leahy
DESCRIPTION:‘What is permaculture?’ \nIf you have just heard of the movement and do not know much about it\, you might well think that permaculture is about food growing and gardens. But if you have asked a permaculture afficionado you will have been told that that conception is a mistake. In fact\, there are a variety of different ways of defining permaculture. As a sustainable system of agriculture based on tree crops\, as a system of sustainable agriculture and settlement design\, as a design philosophy for a sustainable society. There is much to be gained from exploring these different conceptions in detail. Those are questions about the foundation of permaculture in ideas. But it is also important to explain permaculture as a social movement\, a body of people\, their actions and the ways that they think about the world. \nPermaculture is an environmental movement that makes us reevaluate what it means to be sustainable. Through innovative agriculture and settlement design\, the movement creates new communities that are harmonious with nature. It has grown from humble origins on a farm in 1970s Australia and flourished into a worldwide movement that confronts industrial capitalism. \nThe Politics of Permaculture is one of the first books to unpack the theory and practice of this social movement that looks to challenge the status quo. Drawing upon the rich seam of publications and online communities from the movement as well as extensive interviews with permaculture practitioners and organisations from around the world\, Leahy explains the ways permaculture is understood and practiced in different contexts. In the face of extreme environmental degradation and catastrophic climate change\, we urgently need a new way of living. \nThis book is available to download through the Open Access program. \nTERRY LEAHY has been involved in the permaculture movement since its founding in 1978. He has lectured in universities since 1973 and retired at the end of 2016. His recent book\, Food Security for Rural Africa: Feeding the Farmers First (Routledge\, 2018)\, outlines a permaculture strategy for Africa and shows how projects can be designed to make this work in practice. \n\nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you are able to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.

SUMMARY:Siegebreakers: A discussion of Justin Podur's novel set in Gaza
DESCRIPTION:A novel by Justin Podur\nwith two weeks of group discussions*\nJustin made a presentation on Siegebreakers on Saturday\, September 18 with the Marxist Education Project’s Literary Studies Group \nUnder the crushing weight of the siege of Gaza\, Laila and Nasser are members of the Palestinian resistance fighting desperately to free their people.

Unknown to them\, Ari\, a brilliant Israeli spy\, has decided that his conscience can no longer allow him to participate in the starvation of Gaza. A double agent whose every move is under mounting suspicion\, Ari reaches out to the American contractors who trained him with a secret plan. As they all struggle to break the siege\, they face the wrath of the Israeli military machine. \n“Siegebreakers is at once a gritty\, violent thrill ride and the first book I would hand to someone who wants to understand Gaza today.” —Dr. Tarek Loubani\, emergency doctor and volunteer physician at Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City \n“Based on an industrious research\, this dramatic and powerful tale shows once more the power of fiction to illuminate and expose what the media fails\, or is unwilling\, to disclose about life under siege in the Gaza Strip and its impact on the people incarcerated in it.”  —Ilan Pappe\, historian and author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine \nJustin Podur is the author of Haiti’s New Dictatorship. He has contributed chapters to Empire’s Ally: Canada and the War in Afghanistan and Real Utopia.

SUMMARY:We Are “Nature” Defending Itself: Entangling Art\, Activism and Autonomous Zones
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED. A later date in 2022 will be found.\nby Isabelle Fremeaux and Jay Jordan\nChronicles the story of the ZAD (zone to defend)\, a resistant land occupation emerging out of a decades-long struggle which stopped a new airport project\nIn 2008\, as the storms of the financial crash blew\, Isabelle Fremeaux and Jay Jordan deserted the metropolis and their academic jobs\, traveling across Europe in search of post-capitalist utopias. They wanted their art activism to no longer be uprooted. They arrived at a place French politicians had declared lost to the republic\, otherwise known as the ZAD (the zone to defend): a messy but extraordinary canvas of commoning\, illegally occupying 4\,000 acres of wetlands where an international airport was planned. In 2018\, the 40-year-long struggle snatched an incredible victory\, defeating the airport expansion project through a powerful cocktail that merged creation and resistance. Fremeaux and Jordan blend rich eyewitness accounts with theory\, inspired by a diverse array of approaches\, from neo-animism to revolutionary biology\, insurrectionary writings and radical art history. \nThis event considers one of a number of books from the new Pluto Books Vagabonds series. Published in collaboration with the Journal of Aesthetics & Protest. Further info: https://vagabonds.xyz/wandi/  \nIsabelle Fremeaux is a popular educator and action researcher. She was formerly Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Birkbeck College London. Along with Jay Jordan\, she is a coordinator of The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination. \nJay Jordan is co-founder of Reclaim the Streets (1995-2000) and the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army\, and co-author of We Are Everywhere: The Irresistible Rise of Global Anticapitalism (Verso\, 2003) and A User’s Guide to Demanding the Impossible (Minor Compositions\, 2011). He is a coordinator of The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination. \n  \nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you are able to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.

SUMMARY:Disputing the Deluge with Darko Suvin joined by Editor Hugh O’Connell and special guests
DESCRIPTION:Collected 21st-Century Writings on Utopia\, Narration\, and Survival by DARKO SUVIN\nwith Editor HUGH O’CONNELL\nwith guests Marc Angenot\, Gerry Canavan\, Patricia McManus\, & Eric D. Smith\n“Everything in here is of note\, from the essays early in this century on fascism and on fantasy to the most recent pieces on the enduring importance of communism; the growing danger of anti-utopian discourse; and especially the totalizing environmental\, economic\, political\, and cultural terror and destruction brought on by the systemic operations of the Capitalocene.” —Tom Moylan\, Glucksman Professor Emeritus at the University of Limerick\, Ireland\, and author of Becoming Utopian: The Culture and Politics of Radical Transformation (Bloomsbury\, 2020) \nFor over 50 years\, Darko Suvin has set the agenda for science fiction studies through his innovative linking of science fiction to utopian studies\, formalist and leftist critical theory\, and his broader engagement with what he terms “political epistemology.” Disputing the Deluge joins a rapidly growing renewal of critical interest in Suvin’s work on science fiction and utopianism by bringing together in a single volume 29 of Suvin’s most significant interventions in the field from the 21st century\, with an Introduction by editor Hugh O’Connell and a new preface by the author. \nBeginning with writings from the early 2000s that investigate the function of literary genres and reconsider the relationship between science fiction and fantasy\, the essays collected here—each a brilliant example of engaged thought—highlight the value of science fiction for grappling with the key events and transformations of recent years. Suvin’s interrogations show how speculative fiction has responded to 9/11\, the global war on terror\, the 2008economic collapse\, and the rise of conservative populism\, along with contemporary critical utopian analyses of the Capitalocene\, the climate crisis\,COVID19\, and the decline of democracy. By bringing together Suvin’s essays  all in one place\, this collection allows new generations of students and scholars to engage directly with his work and its continuing importance and timeliness. \nDarko Suvin is Emeritus Professor of English at McGill University\, Canada\, and has been a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences\, since 1986. Darko has authored 25 books\, including the foundational study in science fiction Metamorphoses  of Science Fiction: On the Poetics and History of a Literary Genre(1979\, 2016)\, Victorian Science Fiction in the U. K.: The Discourses of Knowledge and of Power (1983)\, Positions and Presuppositions in Science Fiction (1988)\, and In Leviathan’s Belly: Essays for a Counter-Revolutionary Time (2012). \nHugh C. O’Connell is Assistant Professor of English at University of Massachusetts-Boston\, USA. He is editor of Legacies of Blade Runner\, special issue of Science Fiction Film and Television (2020; with Sarah Hamblin); Speculative Finance/Speculative Fiction\, and a special issue of CR: The New Centennial Review (2019; with David M. Higgins). \nMarc Angenot\, FRSC\, a professor in McGill’s French Language and Literature Department for over forty years\, has been awarded the Prix du Québec Léon-Gérin for his outstanding contributions to the social sciences. He is world-renowned for his research and is widely considered the founder of Social Discourse Theory. His vast body of work encompasses intellectual history\, linguistics\, politics\, semiotics\, rhetoric and informal logic\, as well as literary theory. Among his critically acclaimed works are Le Marxisme dans les grands récits (Paris\, 2005) and Dialogues de sourds (Paris\, 2008). In 2004\, The Yale Journal of Criticism published a special issue titled “Marc Angenot and the Scandals of History”.  Gerry Canavan is co-editor of special issues of American Literature and Polygraph on “speculative fiction” and “ecology and ideology\,” respectively and has edited (with Kim Stanley Robinson) the critical anthology\, Green Planets: Ecology and Science Fiction\, 2014 and The Cambridge Companion to American Science Fiction (co-edited with Eric Carl Link\, 2015. Dr\, Patricia McManus is a senior lecturer in the Humanities at the University of Brighton. She is the founder of the Dystopia Project. Her research interests are the novel —in particular the problems involved in understanding genre as a productive force in literary history — and Marxism as a methodology for utopianism. Eric D. Smith. is professor of modern and contemporary British and Anglophone literature at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He is the author of Globalization\, Utopia\, and Postcolonial Science Fiction: New Maps of Hope (Pagrave\, 2012) and editor of Darko Suvin’s career-spanning collection Parables of Freedom and Narrative Logics: Positions and Presuppositions in Science Fiction and Utopianism in the Ralahine Utopian Studies Series (Peter Lang\, 2021).
