SUMMARY:Peru: Crisis and Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Banners read\, “They all must go! Jail the murderers! Elections now! Not one more death! Out with Dina Boluarte! Down with the racist civil-military dictatorship! Shut down Congress! For a people’s constituent assembly!”\nA video of this February 22\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nA deepgoing political crisis is shaking Peru\, with massive protests by working people in the countryside and cities\, murderous repression by the armed forces and police\, and desperate efforts to restore order by a widely hated right-wing Congress and an unelected president\, Dina Boluarte. Women and Quechua and Aymara people from the Andean countryside and interior cities are taking a leading role in demanding that Boluarte and the Congress resign and that a democratic constituent assembly be convened to enable a government that represents Peru’s diversity rather than the exploitative\, racist elites of Lima. Join us as Peruvian left activist and sociologist Nicolás Lynch reports on and analyzes these dramatic events direct from Lima. Historian Gerardo Rénique moderates and joins the conversation. \nNicolás Lynch has published many books and essays on Peruvian politics and history. He has taught at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima and has served as Peru’s Minister of Education and as Ambassador to Argentina. Lynch holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the New School for Social Research. \nGerardo Rénique taught Latin American history for many years at the City College of New York. He is a frequent contributor to Socialism and Democracy and NACLA: Report on the Americas. His research interests include the political traditions of popular movements in Latin America\, and race\, national identity and state formation in Mexico.

SUMMARY:Woman\, Life\, Freedom: Iran through the Lens of Antonio Gramsci
DESCRIPTION:With Piruz Alemi\nJuxtaposing documentary video footage with selected readings from Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks\, we will deepen our understanding of the current uprising among women and young people in Iran. Applying Gramsci’s dual perspective on Individuality/Universality\, Hegemony/Authority\, Force/Consent\, Terror/Legitimacy\, Strategy/Tactic\, Agitation/Propaganda\, and State/Civil Society\, we will examine spontaneous movements\, subaltern groups\, and the balance of domestic and international forces. These sessions will offer an opportunity for participants to document\, write\, screen films\, archive\, brainstorm\, and stay informed about the movement for Woman\, Life\, Freedom in Iran. They will be accessible to people at all levels of familiarity with Gramsci’s work and Iranian history and politics. \nConvened and facilitated by Piruz Alemi\, who holds a PhD in political economy from the New School for Social Research and an MFA in documentary film making from CCNY. He is director of the People of Color International Cultural Exchange Film Festival. He has taught at John Jay College/CUNY for 15 years and holds a research fellowship at Sheffield university in the UK.

SUMMARY:The Novels of Nanni Balestrini with the MEP Literature Group
DESCRIPTION:The MEP Literature Group resumes this fall/winter and continues its tradition of reading international political fiction. We will read several works by the Italian author Nanni Balestrini\, including We Want Everything and The Unseen. These selections are in honor of Michael Lardner\, an enthusiast of Balestrini’s writing and the convener of the MEP’s literature group for many years. Balestrini\, born in 1935\, had by the early 1960s an active literary career in Gruppo 63\, edited journals\, and participated in computer experiments. From literary spats\, he moved to political involvement during Italy’s Years of Lead (ca. 1968-1988). Upon being charged with membership in a guerrilla group he fled to Paris and later to Germany. We Want Everything chronicles a rebellion centered at the Fiat Mirafiori factory in Turin; The Unseen continues the story of Italy’s explosive 1970s when the young and unemployed of cities joined workers in an unexpectedly militant movement known simply as Autonomy (Autonomia). Its “politics of refusal” called forth draconian repression from the employers and the state. We will begin with selections of Balestrini’s poetry.

SUMMARY:Woman\, Life\, Freedom: Iran through the Lens of Antonio Gramsci
DESCRIPTION:With Piruz Alemi\nJuxtaposing documentary video footage with selected readings from Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks\, we will deepen our understanding of the current uprising among women and young people in Iran. Applying Gramsci’s dual perspective on Individuality/Universality\, Hegemony/Authority\, Force/Consent\, Terror/Legitimacy\, Strategy/Tactic\, Agitation/Propaganda\, and State/Civil Society\, we will examine spontaneous movements\, subaltern groups\, and the balance of domestic and international forces. These sessions will offer an opportunity for participants to document\, write\, screen films\, archive\, brainstorm\, and stay informed about the movement for Woman\, Life\, Freedom in Iran. They will be accessible to people at all levels of familiarity with Gramsci’s work and Iranian history and politics. \nConvened and facilitated by Piruz Alemi\, who holds a PhD in political economy from the New School for Social Research and an MFA in documentary film making from CCNY. He is director of the People of Color International Cultural Exchange Film Festival. He has taught at John Jay College/CUNY for 15 years and holds a research fellowship at Sheffield university in the UK.

SUMMARY:The Novels of Nanni Balestrini with the MEP Literature Group
DESCRIPTION:The MEP Literature Group resumes this fall/winter and continues its tradition of reading international political fiction. We will read several works by the Italian author Nanni Balestrini\, including We Want Everything and The Unseen. These selections are in honor of Michael Lardner\, an enthusiast of Balestrini’s writing and the convener of the MEP’s literature group for many years. Balestrini\, born in 1935\, had by the early 1960s an active literary career in Gruppo 63\, edited journals\, and participated in computer experiments. From literary spats\, he moved to political involvement during Italy’s Years of Lead (ca. 1968-1988). Upon being charged with membership in a guerrilla group he fled to Paris and later to Germany. We Want Everything chronicles a rebellion centered at the Fiat Mirafiori factory in Turin; The Unseen continues the story of Italy’s explosive 1970s when the young and unemployed of cities joined workers in an unexpectedly militant movement known simply as Autonomy (Autonomia). Its “politics of refusal” called forth draconian repression from the employers and the state. We will begin with selections of Balestrini’s poetry.

SUMMARY:Global Civil War: Capitalism Post-Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Watch the video from this November 19\, 2022\, event on YouTube. \nWith William I. Robinson\nGlobal Civil War provides a big-picture account of how the coronavirus pandemic and new digital technologies have transformed capitalism and the entire global economy and society. Analyzing the concentration of power and control in the hands of corporate conglomerates\, tech giants\, megabanks\, and the military-industrial complex\, the book documents the extent of unprecedented global inequalities as the mass of humanity faces violent dispossession and uncertain survival. The book issues a dire warning against the emergence of a dystopic digitalized dictatorship but also finds great hope and inspiration in the burgeoning social movements of the poor and the dispossessed as humanity descends into global civil war. \nWilliam I. Robinson is Distinguished Professor of Sociology\, Global Studies\, and Latin American Studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Among his many books are Global Capitalism and the Crisis of Humanity (2014); Into the Tempest: Essays on the New Global Capitalism (2018); and The Global Police State (2020). \nGlobal Civil War is available from the publisher\, PM Press.

SUMMARY:El Golpe: US Labor\, the CIA\, and the Coup at Ford in Mexico
DESCRIPTION:by Rob McKenzie with Patrick Dunne\nTrue crime meets political thriller in an explosive exposé of US meddling in Mexico\nEarly in my research\, a friend with excellent knowledge of the United Auto Workers internal operations told me\, “Don’t give up. They are hiding something”…’ \n \nIt’s 1990\, and US labor is being outsourced to Mexico. Rumors of a violent confrontation at the Mexican Ford Assembly plant on January 8 reach the United Auto Workers (UAW) union in the US: nine employees had been shot by a group of drunken thugs and gangsters\, in an act of political repression which changed the course of Mexican and US workers’ rights forever. Rob McKenzie was working at the Ford Twin Cities Assembly plant in Minnesota when he heard of the attack. He didn’t believe the official story\, and began a years-long investigation to uncover the truth. His findings took him further than he expected – all the way to the doors of the CIA. \nVirtually unknown outside of Mexico\, the full story of ‘El Golpe’\, or ‘The Coup’\, is a dark tale of political intrigue that still resonates today. \nRob McKenzie worked at the Twin City Ford Assembly Plant in St. Paul\, Minnesota as an assembler\, electrician and full-time union representative. In 1998 he became President of his United Auto Workers branch\, and later was elected to the Minnesota State AFL-CIO Executive Board. \nPatrick Dunne is a graduate in History from the University of Cambridge\, with a dissertation on ‘The AFL-CIO and the Coup against Allende’. \n  \nDiscount code for the book at plutobooks.com = MEP \n

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: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

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.
