SUMMARY:Hegel for Radicals: The Science of Logic
DESCRIPTION:The MEP’s recurring series Hegel for Radicals continues this fall with a reading of Hegel’s magnum opus\, The Science of Logic. Familiarity with this work greatly aids any reading of Marx’s Capital. Alex Steinberg will guide participants past the legendary obstacles to understanding this unsurpassed presentation of dialectics. Its depth and systematic structure is without parallel in any other of Hegel’s works. \nEight weekly sessions will introduce what is living in Hegel for those who want to change the world. No prior experience with Hegel or attendance at previous classes is expected or required. Our goal is to make Hegel’s dialectic less mysterious as we go along and try to tease out the revolutionary implications in his thought and its significance for our time. \nAlex Steinberg is the facilitator of Hegel for Radicals. He is an independent scholar who has taught and published on topics such as the philosophy of Heidegger and Nazism\, Marxism and humanism\, Hegel’s philosophy of history and Hegel’s Phenomenology at various alternative educational institutions. Alex was a Conference Presenter at the First International Conference on Trotsky in Havana\, Cuba. he has been also involved with the governance of WBAI radio in New York and its parent organization\, Pacifica\, most recently as the Chair of the Pacifica National Board from 2020-2021.

SUMMARY:The Spectre Still Haunting: Introducing the Revolutionary Politics of Marx and Engels
DESCRIPTION:An introductory 10-week reading group for those just getting acquainted with Marxist ideas\, based on Marx and Engels’ elegant and rousing classic The Manifesto of the Communist Party and Frederick Engels’ Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. We will be guided by China Miéville’s thoughtful\, provocative meditations on the Manifesto\, A Spectre Haunting. While Miéville is best known for his speculative fiction\, he is equally brilliant as a contemporary communist political commentator. \nA manifesto embraces contradiction. It is unafraid of paradox.\nIt provokes and insists and jokes and it’s quite serious. –China Miéville \nFacilitated by David Worley of the MEP’s Revolutions Study Group.

SUMMARY:Marxism and the Capitalist State
DESCRIPTION:A video of this December 16\, 2024\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel.\n\nA lively discussion with the editors and several contributors to the just-released Marxism and the Capitalist State: Towards a New Debate. The collected essays combine general theoretical reappraisals with investigations of contemporary challenges\, including new technologies\, the climate crisis\, the coronavirus pandemic\, and changes in social reproduction. This project began from a shared commitment to understanding the specifically capitalist character of the modern state in relation to the causes of our current age of global catastrophe and the overcoming of capitalist social relations. \nOur panel will feature the book’s three editors:\nRob Hunter holds a PhD in Politics from Princeton University\, USA. He is a member of the Legal Form editorial collective.\nRafael Khachaturian is a Lecturer in Critical Writing at the University of Pennsylvania\, USA.\nEva Nanopoulos is a Senior Lecturer in Law at Queen Mary\, University of London\, UK. Nanopoulos co-edits the blog Legal Form and she co-directs the Queen Mary Centre of Law and Society in a Global Context and co-founded its “Law and Marxism” series.\nAnd joining them we will have four contributors:\nAlyssa Battistoni\, “State\, Capital\, Nature: State Theory for the Capitalocene”\nNate Holdren\, “Social Murder: Capitalism’s Systematic and State-Organized Killing”\nChris O’Kane\, “The Marx Revival and State Theory: Towards a Negative-Dialectical Critical Social Theory of the State”\nSteve Maher\, “From Economic to Political Crisis: Trump and the Neoliberal State”

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.

SUMMARY:Blood and Fire: The Violent Origins of Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Join the MEP’s Capital Study Group in a four-week study of the concluding section of volume I of Marx’s Capital\, which discloses the widespread violence and dispossession – in both Europe and colonized areas – that accompanied the emergence of capitalism. For Marx\, the history of this original expropriation or “primitive accumulation” was “written in letters of blood and fire.” In order for social relations to become structured around the production of commodities\, direct producers had to be violently separated from their means of subsistence\, and common resources had to be concentrated and privatized. \nThis series both concludes our year-long close reading of Capital\, Volume I\, and introduces the work for new readers who are welcome and encouraged to attend. It is also a good opportunity for those who had to drop out along the way to return to the study of Capital. 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. \nIllustration depicts the clearing (enclosure) of the Scottish Highlands\, which Marx details in chapter 27 of Capital.

SUMMARY:Oppression and Resistance in New Chinese and Chinese-American Science Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Join us to read selections from the best of Chinese and Chinese-American science fiction. Over the last ten years\, authors have reached English-speaking audiences with exciting and award-winning new literature using the metaphors and methods of speculative and visionary writing. \nThe new wave of younger Chinese science fiction writers often brings exciting explorations of political and social themes. Alongside daring new scientific imaginations\, our selections this fall feature issues of anti-Asian violence and racism\, colonialism\, then and now\, and the cruelties of global capitalism\, often resulting in resistance to oppression.  Our selections truly merit the new tag of “visionary fiction.” \nOur reading group includes people steeped in the speculative fiction tradition as well as new readers exploring themes with us for the first time. The tilt of global economics\, scientific research\, and politics Eastward makes this fall’s theme timely. \n\nVagabonds by Hao Jinfang\, translated by Ken Liu\, as well as Hao’s Hugo award-winning story\, “Folding Beijing”\nInvisible Planets and Broken Stars\, short story collections translated and edited by Ken Liu (selected stories)\nBabel\, by RF Kuang\nOur Missing Hearts\, by Celeste Ng (December 18\, January 8)\n\nConvened by Steve Backman\, long-time explorer of the visionary side of science fiction; member of the MEP leadership team \nPlease watch for information about the Visionary Fiction Reading Group’s new themes and readings for the winter season
