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 Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:A close reading over 10 weeks of W.E.B. Du Bois’s classic work\, Black Reconstruction in America. The book provides a basis for a much overdue revolution in US labor history. As Du Bois so eloquently and bluntly put in in 1935: “The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see again for many decades. Yet\, the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” \nIn a 1968 speech Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, hailed Black Reconstruction as “a monumental achievement … White historians had for a century crudely distorted the Negro’s role in the Reconstruction years. It was a conscious and deliberate manipulation of history\, and the stakes were high. Dr. Du Bois confronted this powerful structure of historical distortion and dismantled it. He virtually\, before anyone else and more than anyone else\, demolished the lies about Negroes in their most important and creative period of history. The truths he revealed are not yet the property of all Americans but they have been recorded and arm us for our contemporary battles.” \nSean Ahern is a long-time New York City labor activist and anti-racist fighter. He has worked as a labor organizer in the US Postal Service\, the transit industry\, and education.

SUMMARY:The Fallout of War: Metonyms of Militarism
DESCRIPTION:A video of this May 13\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nYale Working Group on Globalization and Culture\nSecond of two parts. Part One \nWar: what is it\, and what is it good for? War might seem like a foregone conclusion or a state of exception; in either case it is an archetype of crisis. In two linked sessions\, the Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture presents their collective research on a keyword of contemporary cultural studies – war – and investigates its many valences as lived reality and as metaphor. Trade wars can become militarized\, and hot wars can look cold\, depending on your vantage point. The race war\, Twitter tells us\, is impending; but in an age of US forever war(s)\, understanding war as punctuating the flow of history seems to be entirely insufficient. War is\, some argue\, a way of life\, a structuring condition that shapes our examinations of the history of the present. The war on drugs\, the war on poverty\, the war on COVID\, the war on Christmas – war is also a ubiquitous metaphor\, a self-righteous idiom that announces moral panic and articulates racial logic in otherwise terms. But metaphors of war have also influenced various radical traditions and social movements\, including anti-war activism and Gramsci’s deployment of metaphors of war in his theorizing of hegemony. Taking account of war as constitutive of the present\, the working group explores war’s meanings as event\, analytic\, and metaphor. \nPanel II Presentations:\nAanchal Saraf theorizes nuclear fallout in the Pacific as war itself moving through the landscapes\, bodies\, and generations of the Marshall Islands and its peoples.\nJavier Porras Madero explores “Dirty Wars” in Latin America for their classed\, raced\, and gendered dimensions as well as their implications for how we may understand conflict\, violence\, and the global Cold War.\nMadeleine Han’s presentation focuses on the Han River both as the face of South Korean postwar economic development (referred to as the “Miracle on the Han”) and as a repository of submerged cold war memories.\nMaru Pabón examines the dominant genres and styles of two poetic projects that emerged out of anticolonial/anti-imperial struggles in Palestine and Cuba\, shiʿr al-muqawama and coloquialismo\, in relation to the distinct temporalities of the two conflicts.\nMonique Flores Ulysses considers U.S. cultural texts seemingly disconnected from war but nonetheless imbricated in war-making during the early years of the Global War on Terror.\nMichael Denning chairs this panel. \nThe Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture is an interdisciplinary cultural studies laboratory that has been practicing collective research at Yale University for two decades. Over the years\, we have presented work collaboratively at numerous cultural studies conferences as well as at the Marxist Education Project\, the Left Forum\, Occupy Boston\, and the World Social Forum. Past projects have been published as “Going into Debt\,” online in Social Text’s Periscope\, and as “Spaces and Times of Occupation” in Transforming Anthropology; a collective interview regarding “Matters of Life and Death” appeared in Revue Française d’Études Américaines. The current members—Aanchal Saraf\, Damanpreet Pelia\, Javier Porras Madero\, Jessica Marion Modi\, Lucero Estrella\, Madeleine Han\, Maru Pabón\, Michael Denning\, Monique Flores Ulysses\, and Salonee Bhaman—work in American studies\, history\, Latinx studies\, literary criticism\, African-American studies\, Asian American studies\, comparative literature\, and womens\, gender and sexuality studies.

SUMMARY:Reading Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:A close reading over 10 weeks of W.E.B. Du Bois’s classic work\, Black Reconstruction in America. The book provides a basis for a much overdue revolution in US labor history. As Du Bois so eloquently and bluntly put in in 1935: “The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see again for many decades. Yet\, the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” \nIn a 1968 speech Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, hailed Black Reconstruction as “a monumental achievement … White historians had for a century crudely distorted the Negro’s role in the Reconstruction years. It was a conscious and deliberate manipulation of history\, and the stakes were high. Dr. Du Bois confronted this powerful structure of historical distortion and dismantled it. He virtually\, before anyone else and more than anyone else\, demolished the lies about Negroes in their most important and creative period of history. The truths he revealed are not yet the property of all Americans but they have been recorded and arm us for our contemporary battles.” \nSean Ahern is a long-time New York City labor activist and anti-racist fighter. He has worked as a labor organizer in the US Postal Service\, the transit industry\, and education.
