SUMMARY:The German Revolution 1918-1924
DESCRIPTION:The German Revolution 1918-1924: False Hope or Missed Chance?\nRevolutions Study Group at The MEP\n12-week session\nMondays\, October 3-December 19\, 7:30-9:30 p.m. \nAt the end of 1918\, the workers of Germany rose up and overthrew the Kaiser. The Bolsheviks thought that the success of the Russian Revolution hinged upon the rapid unfolding of the a world revolution\, and placed their hopes for its beginning on Germany more than any other country. For the next five years\, fractious German revolutionaries agitated for and launched a series of uprisings aimed at the creation of a workers╒ state: the Sparticist uprising in 1919\, in which Luxemburg and Liebknecht were killed; the March Action in 1921; the “German October” in 1923. They fought\, but they lost. In the process\, the working class was divided and demoralized\, the capitalist class went looking for a savior\, and the foundations of Nazism were laid.\nIn it’s beginnings\, the revolution in Germany appears very similar to the events in Russia the year before. Why was the outcome so different? We will try to answer many questions in the course of this reading group\, but that is the essential question.\nPrimary reading: Pierre Broue\, The German Revolution. Other readings include selected original documents and selections from Haffner\, Failure of a Revolution\, and Angress\, The Stillborn Revolution.\nThe Revolutions Study Group (originally at the Brecht Forum) has been meeting since 2009. Individual participants have come and gone\, however the group has held together\, studying in depth a wide range of history including the French Revolution\, the Russian Revolutions of 1905 and 1917\, the Mau-Mau Revolt in Kenya\, the Haitian Revolution\, the European Revolutions of 1848\, the May movement in France of 1968 and the Hot Autumn of Italy the following year\, the Spanish Civil War\, the Mexican Revolution\, the Socialist (2nd) International\, and Russian Social Democracy prior to World War I.

SUMMARY:Victor Serge Read-In Day
DESCRIPTION:A Victor Serge Sunday at the Brooklyn Commons\nFeaturing Mitch Abidor\, Mallory Brooks\, Silvia Federici\, Jenny Greeman\, Richard Greeman and Christopher Winks\nComplete with a Serge Book Fair and other participation of Serge’s American publishers\, Haymarket Books\, New York Review Books and PM Press \n“Victor Serge died in exile and obscurity\, apparently no more than a splinter of a splinter in the Marxist movement. But with the passage of the years\, he looms up as one of the great moral figures of our time\, an artist of such integrity and a revolutionary of such purity as to overshadow those who achieved fame and power. His failure was his success. I know of no participant in Russia’s revolution and Spain’s agonies who more deserves the attention of our concerned youth.”  – I. F. Stone \n2:00 pm: Talks and Discussion:\nVictor Serge: Revolution and its Illusions by Mitchell Abidor\, translator of Serge’s Anarchists Never Surrender (PM Press) and Notebooks (NYRB Classics). Serge’s autobiography bears the title Memoirs of a Revolutionary (a title he didn’t choose)\, but at the beginning and end of his political life he posed serious questions about the efficacy of revolution and revolutionary activity. Inspired by Serge’s article “The Revolutionary Illusion\,” Mitch Abidor will examine this aspect of Serge’s thought. \nVictor Serge’s Novels of Resistance by Richard Greeman\, Serge  scholar\, translator and prefacer of five Serge novels (NYRB Classics\, PM Press) \nVictor Serge and the Poetics of Revolutionary Memory by Christopher Winks\, (Comparative Literature\, Queens College\, CUNY). A discussion of Serge’s poetry as a prolonged elegy for the fallen —“the cortège of his executed brothers” —and an affirmation of love and hope amidst the darkness of world counter-revolution. \n3:30 pm: SERGE READ-IN:  Pick your favorite Serge passage and join with other fans including Sylvia Federici (feminist writer)\, Christopher Winks\, Melody Brooks and Jenny Greeman\, New Perpectives Theater) who will be reading their own favorites and discussing them.
