SUMMARY:Punk Crisis
DESCRIPTION:The Global Punk Rock Revolution\nwith author Ray Patton\nIn March 1977\, Johnny Rotten Lydon of the Sex Pistols looked over the Berlin wall onto the grey\, militarized landscape of East Berlin. He then went up to the wall and gave it the finger. He didn’t know it at the time\, but the Sex Pistols’ reputation had preceded his gesture\, as young people in the Second World busily appropriated news reports on degenerate Western culture as punk instruction manuals. Soon after\, burgeoning Polish punk impresario Henryk Gajewski brought the London punk band the Raincoats to perform at his art gallery and student club-the epicenter for Warsaw’s nascent punk scene. When the Raincoats returned to England\, they found London erupting at the Rock Against Racism concert\, which brought together 100\,000 First World UK punks and Third World Caribbean immigrants who contributed their cultures of reggae and Rastafarianism. Punk had formed networks reaching across all three of the Cold War’s worlds. \nThe first global narrative of punk\, Punk Crisis examines how transnational punk movements challenged the global order of the Cold War\, blurring the boundaries between East and West\, North and South\, communism and capitalism through performances of creative dissent. Raymond Patton studies the relationship between popular culture\, aesthetics\, identity\, and politics in the modern world\, with an emphasis on reexamining the relationship between the “first\,” “second\,” and “third” worlds of the Cold War era. As a History professor\, he has taught on a wide range of subject matter\, including World History\, Fascism and Nazi Germany\, East European and Soviet history\, Music and Resistance\, The Meaning of Life\, and Global Foundations: Consumerism. He has also played sax in a 3rd wave ska punk band. He currently serves as Director of Educational Partnerships and General Education at John Jay College\, CUNY.

SUMMARY:Day 4\, Session 3—Sexuality\, Gender and Globalization
DESCRIPTION:Sexuality\, Gender and Globalization\nKate Doyle Griffiths and Lisa Maya Knauer \nWhat do sexuality and gender have to do with the global economy? What role do sex and desire — some of the most intimate aspects of our lives — play in the emergence and evolution of capitalism\, and how are they in turn shaped by capital? Why have women\, particularly in the global South\, often been at the forefront of resistance to neoliberal capitalism? How can Marxism(s) help us understand these issues\, and formulate strategies for change? This workshop will explore these questions from multiple perspectives — spanning generations and different local\, regional and national contexts. \nLisa Maya Knauer is a founding member of the MEP and its predecessor\, the Brecht Forum. She has taught a variety of classes on feminism and Marxism\, and gender and capitalism. She is currently working with indigenous resistance movements in Guatemala\, and with immigrant women workers in the U.S. In her day job\, she is the chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. (you don’t need to include the academic affiliation if you don’t want) \nKate Doyle Griffiths is a doctoral candidate in Anthropology at the CUNY Graduate Center\, and teaches at Hunter College. She has conducted research in South Africa\, on reproductive labor\, health\, gender and politics.

The laboring part of today’s global proletariat is greater than the world’s entire population 40 years ago. Now there are workers from all parts of the globe working for the same set of bosses. \nCapitalists continually seek new avenues to expand their capital and commodify all that exists. The digital revolution has sped all this up\, quickening accumulation which lays the basis for more frequent crises. Capital continues in ever new forms the process of enclosures that began with the forcible removal of the peasantry from the land in medieval Europe. Throughout the global south\, displaced peasants are forced to migrate to cities or internationally\, working in factories or informal economies. Many others are conscripted into comprador armies to protect the extractive industries ravaging their regions. There is also outright robbery: the Panama Papers reveal the extent to which capital has fleeced the global proletariat. After more than three decades of assault on organized labor\, privatization\, austerity and structural adjustment have gutted hard-won social programs. Automation\, digitization and strategic relocation of work\, combined with just-in-time assembly\, make millions “redundant”. At the same time Walmartization\, Uberization\, Amazonification exemplify our marginalization and precarity. \nAs we plan this intensive\, workers and students are in motion throughout France\, from Nuit Debout gatherings to general strikes against austerity.  Greek workers\, hit harder still by austerity\, are reaching out to support the tide of refugees. The contract just won by the Verizon workers in the U.S. after a nation-wide strike represents a major victory. The Sanders campaign has helped normalize the concept of socialism\, but the Left and social movements have not figured out how to articulate a viable socialist alternative and build a corresponding movement. \nOver the four days of this Intensive\, we will study the causes behind these developments\, learn about some obstacles to organizing and the challenges facing workers at work and in their communities\, and consider various left analyses about social realities and the prospects for organizing. We will assess the lessons of workers’ movements globally and historically\, with emphasis on prospects in the US and the global south. Through collaborative study and discussion\, we aim to provide a challenging learning environment so each participant can develop his/her own theoretical and analytic tools to advance our organizing and movement building work in order to broaden opposition to capital locally\, nationally and internationally. \nFRIDAY\, JULY 15 / 10:00 am • Imperialism Today: Super-Exploitation & Marxist Theory • WALTER DAUM • 1:00- 4:00 pm • Class Consciousness\, Class Struggle & Self-Organizing Using Image Theater • presented by The Theater of the Oppressed Laboratory (TOPLAB) • facilitated by JANET GERSON • MARIE-CLAIRE PICHER • 5:30 pm • Public Banking: A Marxist Response to Finance Capital  • DAN KARAN • 7:30 pm • Southern Insurgency: Mass Movements Throughout the Global South • LISA MAYA KNAUER \nSATURDAY\, JULY 16 / 10:00 am • Slackers\, Sabotage\, & Syndicalism: American Labor History & The Refusal of Work • KRISTIN LAWLER  • 1:00  pm • Beyond Bernie: The Crisis of Labor & The Left in the United States • MARK DUDZIC • 3:30 pm • Prometheus in Ruins?: Uses & Abuses of the Hero Who Stole Fire • ANTHONY GALLUZZO • 5:30 pm • Logistics\, Capitalist Circulation\, Chokepoints • CHARMAINE CHUA • 7:30 pm • Devils & Dust: Resisting War in New York\, the Pacific\, & the Middle East • CLAUDE COPELAND • LAUREL MEI-SINGH • YUKO TONOHIRA \nSUNDAY\, JULY 17 / 11:00 am • It’s Not Over: Lessons for Socialists from the October Revolution\, Prague Spring and the Sandinistas • PETE DOLACK • 1:00 pm • Labor in the Global Digital Economy • URSULA HUWS • 3:30 pm • Sexuality\, Gender & Neoliberal Capitalism • KATE DOYLE-GRIFFITHS • LISA MAYA KNAUER  • 5:30 pm • Approaching Science from the Left: Uses & Abuses of Knowledge in the Planetary Crisis • REBECCA BOGER • STUART NEWMAN • DAVE SCHWARTZMAN • moderated by FRED MURPHY \nAs capitalist relations penetrate every nook and cranny of our planet and the most intimate realms of our lives\, a growing proportion of the world’s population is incorporated into the global proletariat—paid and unpaid workers and our families\, the unemployed and underemployed\, and the growing numbers who will never work.

SUMMARY:Day 2\, Session 1: Imperialism Today: Super-Exploitation and Marxist Theory
DESCRIPTION:Presentation and discussion with Walter Daum\n\nImperialism was first analyzed by Marxist theorists a century ago. Today it still dominates the world but has greatly changed: production\, not just trade\, is globalized; profits rely on the super-exploitation of hundreds of millions of proletarians in the Global South. This session will discuss the transformation of the imperialist-ruled world and what it means for Marxist theory. \nInitial reading: John Smith\, “Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century\,” Monthly Review July-August 2015; online at http://monthlyreview.org/2015/07/01/imperialism-in-the-twenty-first-century/ \nWalter Daum taught mathematics at City College in New York for 37 years. He has been a revolutionary activist and Marxist theorist\, affiliated with the League for the Revolutionary Party. He wrote a book\, The Life and Death of Stalinism and is working on another\, on the subject of imperialism. He is proud to have been denounced by the New York Post and  the CUNY Board of Trustees in 2001 for explaining at a teach-in that the 9/11 terrorist attack was “ultimately the responsibility of U.S. imperialism.
