SUMMARY:Commons\, Commoning\, Communism
DESCRIPTION:Various forms of commoning\, some traditional and some not\, provided the proletariat with means of survival in the struggle against capitalism. Commoning is a basis of proletarian class solidarity\, and we can find this before\, during\, and after both the semantic and the political birth of communism. –Peter Linebaugh\nBefore the advent of capitalism\, much of humanity produced their immediate livelihoods on lands and with tools to which they either had rights of use or held as individual property. All that came to a violent end with what Marx preferred to call the “original expropriation” (often misleadingly termed “primitive accumulation”) whereby the producers were deprived of access and the commons were enclosed. Peasants and artisans mounted strong resistance over centuries but in the end a propertyless proletariat emerged in countryside and city in England and other countries where capitalism triumphed. Such struggles continue down to the present\, however\, as working people continue to challenge new forms of expropriation such as intellectual-property laws\, private patents on seeds and other life forms\, displacement of urban communities\, extortion through petty fines and regressive taxation\, and seizures of land and water for mining and other profitable purposes. This reading group will explore the historical roots and persistence of such crimes and resistance by reading together The War Against the Commons\, by Ian Angus; Stop\, Thief! by Peter Linebaugh; and related texts. \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy and Steve Knight of the MEP’s Ecosocialist Study Group.

SUMMARY:Reading Marx’s Capital\, Volume I (third series)
DESCRIPTION:Covering Parts V through VIII of Capital\, volume 1 \nJoin us as we continue the close reading of Volume 1 of Marx’s Capital begun earlier this year\, guided by an experienced team led by Lisa Maya Knauer. This fall we will be reading Parts V through VIII\, covering Wages\, the Accumulation of Capital\, and the so-called Primitive Accumulation. 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 Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks
DESCRIPTION:In these sessions led by Piruz Alemi\, we will continue to study selected passages from Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks. We delve into key themes and concepts related to civil society and state: politics and the arts\, racism\, class and gender\, religion\, linguistics\, and other methods of analysis\, critical theory\, mass media\, and cinema\, hegemony\, and subaltern studies\, as well as the role of intellectuals and activists in discovering new methods and languages to be transformative. A Gramscian “Past & Present” approach is key to our work. \nThroughout these sessions\, we will attempt to connect our own cultures and life experiences with contemporary struggles such as those unfolding in the Woman\, Life\, Freedom movement in Iran. \nParticipation in previous sessions is not a requirement – all are welcome to join.

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 Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks
DESCRIPTION:In these sessions led by Piruz Alemi\, we will continue to study selected passages from Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks. We delve into key themes and concepts related to civil society and state: politics and the arts\, racism\, class and gender\, religion\, linguistics\, and other methods of analysis\, critical theory\, mass media\, and cinema\, hegemony\, and subaltern studies\, as well as the role of intellectuals and activists in discovering new methods and languages to be transformative. A Gramscian “Past & Present” approach is key to our work. \nThroughout these sessions\, we will attempt to connect our own cultures and life experiences with contemporary struggles such as those unfolding in the Woman\, Life\, Freedom movement in Iran. \nParticipation in previous sessions is not a requirement – all are welcome to join.
