SUMMARY:Planetary Crises: 'Anthropocene Communism'
DESCRIPTION:Next monthly session September 16\nThe MEP’s Ecosocialist Study Group meets monthly to discuss important new works on the science and politics of the climate emergency\, the nature of economic and ecological crises\, and related topics. On September 16 we will consider Anthropocene Communism: Land and Capital in the Age of Disaster\, by Paul Guillibert. \nIn Anthropocene Communism\, the philosopher and activist Paul Guillibert proposes a new communism to move us beyond the ecological crisis of late capitalism. In a highly original reading of Karl Marx’s exchanges with Russian populists\, and informed by the cultural studies of Raymond Williams\, the José Carlos Mariátegui\, and Ernst Bloch\, Guillibert develops a philosophical naturalism that rethinks our relations with the environment. For Guillibert\, if we are to move beyond the Anthropocene\, we must develop new strategies. Communism must become environmentalism\, and political ecology can only become truly revolutionary once it is communist. \nOther recent books of interest to this group are listed here. \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy. Since 2015 Fred has led numerous MEP study groups on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, political economy\, the history of capitalism\, and Latin American politics. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research and reported from Latin America for several socialist publications.

SUMMARY:'The Future of Revolution' with Jasper Bernes
DESCRIPTION:How might a twenty-first-century revolution against class society succeed? Join us for a conversation with Jasper Bernes\, author of The Future of Revolution: Communist Prospects from the Paris Commune to the George Floyd Uprising (Verso\, 2026). Communism comes from the future\, but its hopes haunt our past. Bernes reads the revolutionary history of workers’ councils and communes in the light of thinkers from Karl Marx to Paul Mattick and C.L.R. James. \n“In this extraordinary study into revolutionary histories and possibilities\, Jasper Bernes does not let his reader off lightly. He pushes us to think hard alongside him about the logics and activities of collective emancipation—in this task\, we couldn’t ask for a more brilliant guide than Bernes. We need this book now\, and will continue to need it long into the future.” —Natasha Lennard\, author of Being Numerous: Essays on Non-Fascist Life \nJasper Bernes lives in Oakland and teaches in the English Department at the University of California\, Berkeley. A regular contributor to the Field Notes section of the Brooklyn Rail\, he is the author of The Work of Art in the Age of Deindustrialization and two books of poetry\, We Are Nothing and So Can You and Starsdown.

SUMMARY:Refusal of Work: The Writings of Harry Cleaver
DESCRIPTION:Refuse work. Revolt against capitalism. Read Harry Cleaver. In that order. Repeat. \nJoin editors Robert Ovetz and Kevin Van Meter for a discussion of Points of Departure: Refusal of Work and the Crisis of Capitalism: The Collected Writings of Harry Cleaver\, a definitive collection of Harry Cleaver’s best unpublished\, translated\, or lesser known writings – both historical and current – on the refusal of work\, class composition\, and the “inversion of the class perspective.” The book puts essential theoretical weapons into the hands of a new generation of militant workers and organizers re-energizing the class struggle. In these essays\, Cleaver rereads Marx to advance our collective search for points of departure from capitalism\, so we can end it before it ends us. \nRobert Ovetz holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Texas–Austin and is a senior lecturer in Political Science at San José State University\, where his work focuses on academic labor organizing and the labor movement. He is the author of When Workers Shot Back\, We the Elites\, and the forthcoming Rebels for the System. He writes on labor for Dollars & Sense and other publications. \nKevin Van Meter holds a PhD in Geography\, Environment and Society from the University of Minnesota\, serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Labor and Society\, and is a union organizer and labor educator who writes on contemporary labor issues\, labor history\, and working-class self-organization. He is author of Guerrillas of Desire and the forthcoming Reading Struggles: Working-Class Self-Activity from Detroit to Turin and Back Again. His work has appeared in New Politics\, Notes from Below\, Dollars & Sense\, and other publications.
