SUMMARY:A People’s Guide to Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:A multi-week class conducted with Sam Salour\nA lively\, accessible\, and timely guide to capitalism for those who want to understand and dismantle the world of the 1%. Economists regularly promote capitalism as the greatest and most efficient economic and political system ever to grace the planet. With the same breath\, they implore us to leave the job of understanding the magical powers of the market to the “experts.” Despite the efforts of the mainstream commentators to convince us otherwise\, many of us have begun to question why this system has produced such vast inequality and disregard for its own environmental destruction. This book offers answers to exactly these questions on their own terms: in the form of a radical economic theory. The multi-week class will feature a close reading and discussion of the entire book with explication and references to additional materials related to this study. If you would prefer to order the class and Hadas Thier’s book at the same time you are receiving the book at less than half price. \nAll events are sliding scale. No one is denied admission for inability to pay. Please write to info@marxedproject.org for reduced rates or the links for attending if you are unable to pay. \nSAM SALOUR is a doctoral candidate in sociology at UC Santa Barbara. He works on Marxist theory\, revolution\, and social change. Over the past few years he has conducted study groups on Marx’s Grundrisse\, the three volumes of Capital and more at The Marxist Education Project.

SUMMARY:Anitra Nelson and Vincent Liegey: Exploring Degrowth: A Critical Guide
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Degrowth: A Critical Guide\nVincent Liegey and Anitra Nelson\nSpokesperson for the degrowth movement Vincent Liegey (Budapest\, Hungary) and degrowth advocate Anitra Nelson (University of Melbourne\, Australia) talk on the politics\, challenges\, strategies and visions of the burgeoning degrowth movement\, starting in France to spread worldwide. Chaired by Pluto’s FireWorks Series editor\, Gargi Bhattacharyya. \nAs a sense of urgency pervades global environmentalism and the Left\, the degrowth movement burst into the mainstream. In short\, as growth driven climate catastrophe looms\, degrowth is a political response based on changing how we live. Exploring Degrowth: A Critical Guide counters obsessions with growth to demand a slowing of our economies\, reorientation around provision of basic needs for all\, supported by political autonomy and cultures of living within Earth’s limits. \nAs the authors discuss the practices and strategies of the movement\, identifying its strengths and weaknesses\, they examine ‘frugal abundance’\, horizontal democracy\, ‘open relocalisation’\, conviviality and reduced paid work to argue why degrowth is a compelling and realistic project. \nFor an extra discount this ticket includes admission to the presentation\, the book with shipping included (US and Puerto Rico only). \nTickets are sliding scale. We do not deny admission to events or classes for an inability to pay. Please write to info@marxedproject for the url of the zoom link to attend if you cannot afford to pay.

SUMMARY:Blood and Money
DESCRIPTION:From Primitive Accumulation to Racial Capitalism\nA Reprise of the Fall of 2020 Sessions\nCapital Studies Group of The MEP is proud to repeat this class for another 10 week term\nAll tickets are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Email info@marxedproject.org for zoom info if you are unable to pay. The stated fees are for all 10 sessions combined. \nThe birth and development of capitalism since its origins in the fifteenth century is entirely bound up with the subordination of racialized peoples. Even before capitalism arose – in a process Marx termed the “so-called primitive accumulation” – money and markets were implicated in the rise and fall of states and empires that conquered and enslaved vast numbers of human bodies. This group will address these histories and their persisting consequences. We will read and discuss David McNally’s Blood and Money: War\, Slavery\, Finance\, and Empire and Jairus Banaji’s The History of Commercial Capitalism\, both new works along with the now-classic text Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition by Cedric Robinson. Additional readings will include chapters from Marx’s Capital; essays by Robin D.G. Kelley and Barbara Fields; and selections from the July-August 2020 Monthly Review devoted to Racial Capitalism. \nThe CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting on Saturdays for nearly four years. We are a group of workers\, students\, activists and teachers who have nearly completed a chronological reading all three volumes of Marx’s Capital along with other important works such as these sessions will explore. Newcomers are always encouraged to join.

SUMMARY:The Time of Our Lives with Bryan Palmer
DESCRIPTION:Socialist Register 2021: Beyond Digital Capitalism series\nThe Time of Our Lives: Reflections on Work and Capitalist Temporality\nwith author Bryan D. Palmer\n For socialists time and its meaning and organization have always been a central concern\, if only because capitalism has placed such a premium on controlling time and subordinating it to its imperatives. At the current conjuncture\, time has become the challenge for socialists to address\, not only because it defines what does and does not constitute the working day\, but because it is increasingly obvious that time and its organization defines life itself. Will time continue to be compressed into capital’s needs\, or will it be reimagined as liberation\, struggled through and over in ways that enhance the project of human emancipation? \nWhat follows presents an argument about time that: 1) outlines how class struggles over time have been essential to the rise of the workers’ movement; 2) explores the complexity of Marx’s understandings of these conflicts and their tendency to be incorporated into capital’s project\, resulting in the intensification of exploitation; 3) locates E.P. Thompson’s writing on time and work discipline within the particular concerns and context of the 1960s New Left\, offering a suggestion of how this treatment of time extended orthodox Marxist understandings of primitive accumulation; and 4) closes by discussing how time and its meanings in twenty-first century capitalism demand a rethinking of positions\, espoused by Andre Gorz and others in the 1980s\, that associated the need for new policies around time with dismissals of the role of the working class in social transformation. Time\, always a frontier of class struggle\, has been pushed today to the forefront of contentious labor-capital relations. \nBryan D. Palmer is Emeritus Professor of History at Trent University\, Ontario\, Canada. He is also the author of Revolutionary Teamsters: The Minneapolis Truckers’ Strikes of 1934 and co-author of Toronto’s Poor: A Rebellious History. \n  \nThis presentation will begin at 11 PM and end at 1 AM GMT. \nAll events are sliding scale. No one is denied admission for inability to pay. If you would like to attend the event but are unable to contribute at this time\, please write info@marxedproject.org to obtain the URL of the zoom link for this talk or other events or classes you would like to participate in. \n  \nFor those of you unable to buy a ticket\nGo to Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-time-of-our-lives-reflections-on-work-and-capitalist-temporality-tickets-138905308517 \n

SUMMARY:M.A.D. Lit 101: American Fiction and the Cold War
DESCRIPTION:The year 1953 was like most of the years following the end of the slaughter of World War II. It was another year of the baby boom that filled maternity wards in the United States\, a generation that ironically couldn’t wait to leave these suburbs. The Cold War was well under way\, and anti-communism in the U.S. was at its peak. Politicians pontificated that it was “better to be dead than Red.” In the East and the West\, the military apparatus stockpiled nuclear weapons capable of ending life on this planet thousands of times over — Mutually Assured Destruction. \nWe began this reading group with Shirley Jackson’s short story “The Lottery” followed by a shared reading of Allen Ginsburg’s Howl\, and have nowcompleted our discussion of Ring Lardner\, Jr.’s The Ecstasy of Owen Muir. We have just started The Public Burning by Robert Coover\, after which we will read and discuss Richard Wright’s The Outsider. Coover’s novel is a political economy of the US as the hegemon of Post World War II capital global restructuring and the shift of much production to energy\, the military and finance and the attempted thorough destruction of any semblance of a left opposition. \nWhat can we learn from these literary renderings and how do they help us understand the perilous period in history that we now find ourselves living? \nThe MEP LITERATURE GROUP has been meeting to discuss literature since the first days of The Marxist Education Project following a presentation by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz on her Indigenous Peoples History of the United States and her recommendation that we take up literature with Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of The Dead. The group has rcompleted readings of Victor Serge’s Unforgiving Years which was followed by Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow. Other studies have included novels related to World War I\, the depression of the 1930s\, and novels on migration\,border politics and labor organizing and our most recent session on Women Who Wrote Against Fascism\, and this summer will the group will host a 5th consecutive Noir Summer.

SUMMARY:Engels and the Dialectics of Nature
DESCRIPTION:Considerations in a Universe of Quarks and Black Holes\nA 9 session class and discussion with Alex Steinberg\nThis class will journey into quantum physics and 21st-century cosmology as background for a study of dialectics in natural science and philosophy. Readings include Engels’ Dialectics of Nature and excerpts from other philosophers and scientists writing since Engels. (The syllabus is below). We will explore themes from that classic text that are relevant for contemporary scientific thinking. Among questions we propose to address: Does quantum theory force us to abandon determinism? Did time exist before the Big Bang? Are the laws of nature eternal? Is there one universe or are there multiple parallel universes? What does it mean to call oneself a “materialist” when scientists use terms like “dark matter”? The goal of the class is a deep appreciation of dialectical thinking and how it helps us understand the real worlds in which we live and struggle. \nALEX STEINBERG is an independent scholar. He has has taught courses in the the philosophies of Marx\, Hegel\, Heidegger\, and Nietzsche at alternative educational institutions such as New Space for Pluralistic Anti-Capitalist Education\, the Brecht Forum\, Marxist Education Project\, and more. He has published papers on questions of philosophy and the natural sciences\, including on Heidegger and Nazism\, Marxism and Humanism\, and Hegel’s Philosophy of History\, and has presented at Left Forum\, Historical Materialism Conference\, and the First International Conference on Trotsky in Havana\, Cuba. \n  \nall classes and events are sliding scale. We do not deny admission anyone who does not have the ability to pay. Please write to info@marxedproject.org for a link code to be able to participate. \n  \nSyllabus (week by week): Class 1: Dialectics – Fundamental features and its place in the history of philosophy\, Class 2: Engels and the Dialectics of Nature\, Class 3: The dialectical revolution in the Life Sciences. Class 4. The paradox of Schrodinger’s cat: The positivist solution of the Copenhagen interpretation. Class 5. The Many Worlds interpretation: From positivism to magical realism. Class 6. Resurgence of realism and dialectics in the work of the Marxist physicist David Bohm. Class 7. A brief survey of the conceptual revolution of relativity theory. Class 8. The Big Bang and the origin of the Universe. Class 9. The discovery of black holes and gravitational waves. Class 10. A Universe\, a Multi-verse\, Cyclical Universes and Cosmological Natural Selection \n

SUMMARY:Heterodox Socialism: Michael Brie\, Jean-Numa Ducange\, Kieran Durkin
DESCRIPTION:  \npresentations and discussion with MICHAEL BRIE\, JEAN-NUMA DUCANGE and KIERAN DURKIN \nThis presentation taking place in New York City at 1:30 to 3:30 PM is taking place at 6:30 to 9:30 PM (GMT) \nOn the basis of new publications of her Polish works and more\, in Rosa Luxemburg: A Revolutionary Marxist at the Limits of Marxism\, Luxemburg’s strategic approaches are located in an Eastern European context. Michael Brie will present on how the authors discuss Luxemburg’s unique analyses of the first experiments in socialist participation in government\, of the first Russian revolution and of the forms of accumulation of capital to outline the foundations of her novel understanding of both democratic-socialist revolution and of a society that would point beyond social democracy as well as Bolshevism – a vision that will gain new significance in the twenty first century. \nJules Guesde represents the first book-length study of the French socialist leader translated into the English language. Jean-Numa Ducange’s scholarly biography of Guesde seeks to put his record on proper historical footing\, closely analysing both archival sources and accounts by his contemporaries. The book begins with his early life and the mark left on him by the Paris Commune and exile. The book concludes with an examination of Guesde’s contested legacy. \nRaya Dunayevskaya’s Intersectional Marxism brings to life her writings on state capitalism (part of her socio-economic critique of Stalinism\, fascism\, and the welfare state)\, to her writings on Rosa Luxemburg\, Black and women’s liberation\, and labor\, we are offered indispensable resources for navigating the perils of sexism\, racism\, capitalism\, and authoritarianism. This collection of essays\, from a diverse group of writers\, brings to life Dunayevskaya’s important contributions. Dunayevskaya’s Marxist-Humanism is recovered for the twenty-first century and turned\, as it was with Dunayevskaya herself\, to face the multiple alienations and de-humanizations of social life. \nMICHAEL BRIE is Head of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung in Berlin\, Germany. Recent books include Rediscovering Lenin: Dialectics of Revolution and Metaphysics of Domination (2019) and Karl Polanyi in Dialogue: A Socialist Thinker of Our Times (2017). \nJEAN-NUMA DUCANGE is Professor at Rouen University and member of Institut Universitaire de France. He is the co-director of the French journal Actuel Marx (PUF) and Austriaca (PURH)\, and one of the best scholars about the history of socialism (France\, Germany\, Austria). \nKIERAN DURKIN is Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow at University of York\, UK and has been a Visiting Scholar at University of California Santa Barbara\, where he studied the Humanist Marxist tradition. He is author of The Radical Humanism of Erich Fromm (2014) and Erich Fromm’s Critical Theory (co-edited with Joan Braune\, 2020). \n \nThis is the Part One in a three part winter spring series on Marx\, Engels\, Marxisms\, a large collection of important works by Marxists from all over the world. \nMarx\, Engels\, Marxisms: The Marx renaissance is underway on a global scale. Wherever the critique of capitalism re-emerges\, there is an intellectual and political demand for new\, critical engagements with Marxism. MARX\, ENGELS\, AND MARXISMS (edited by Marcello Musto & Terrell Carver\, with Babak Amini\, Francesca Antonini\, Paula Rauhala & Kohei Saito as Assistant Editors) is a peer-reviewed series. It is broad — comprised of monographs\, edited volumes\, critical editions\, reprints of old texts\, as well as translations of books already published in other languages. These volumes come from a wide range of political perspectives\, subject matters\, academic disciplines and geographical areas\, producing an eclectic and informative collection that appeals to a diverse and international audience. Main areas of focus include: the oeuvre of Marx and Engels\, Marxist authors and traditions of the 19th and 20th centuries\, labor and social movements\, Marxist analyses of contemporary issues\, and the reception of Marxism in the world. \nfor information on the entire series: https://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/14812 \nAll events are sliding scale.

SUMMARY:Capital\, Volume 1\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Capital\, A Critique of Political Economy\, Karl Marx\nVolume I: The Process of Production of Capital\nSecond 12 Week Session Covering Chapter 4 thru Chapter 15\nwith Mary Boger \nVolume I of Capital begins the scientific presentation of the laws of motion that underlie the developmental processes that has led to the realities of our contemporary human condition. In only 200-300 years capitalist relations of re/production have absorbed all pre-capitalist societies into its circulation of commodities making all that exists\, whether real or imaginary\, means for investing money to make more money. Private ownership and control over our earth’s natural resources by the owners of capital and separation of the world’s population from any direct access to our conditions of life and what we produce have reduced our human productive activity to a thing that is bought and sold at the bidding of capital. \nUncovering the how\, what and for whom our life processes are determined based on the logic of using money in order to make more money is a journey we need to take if we are to consciously situate ourselves within our given historical process as effective political/social/universal actors. Marx’s scientific presentation of the laws of motion of capitalist development begins by analyzing the fundamental or elemental form which wealth takes in our society\, the commodity. Understanding this form leads us to the most basic law that grounds social reproduction in societies under the domination of capital\, the law of value. Therefore\, in Session I\, our first task was to break through the appearance and reveal the social content of the commodity form\, the beginning of the unraveling of the why and how of what we necessarily\, under the domination and exploitation of capital\, experience every day in our lives. \nSession 2 will complete the analysis of Part I: Commodities and Money\, starting with Chapter 2: The Process of Exchange followed by the historical development of the money form in the circulation of commodities. This in turn leads to the Transformation of Money into Capital\, positioning the reader to analyze the specific social relations of capitalist production (wage labor and owners of capital) in relation to the forces of production\, the means of production. The analysis also enables us to understand the developmental processes that underlie the societal transformations that continuously occur as capital necessarily seeks to expand and accumulate more and more capital–increasing world populations as the employed part of the working class constantly grows while a relative surplus population thrown out of production grows even faster due to the ever increasing productivity of labor; along with constant introduction of new technologies–ever transforming our relation to nature\, each other and the how\, what for whom production takes place. \nNEW STUDENTS: (Please Note) Part I of Volume I lays out the fundamental laws of capitalist development and its internal contradictions. It is necessary to fully understand all that follows as Marx explicates the dynamics particular to the historical process that we are engaged in reproducing in our everyday life\, where the logic of re-production is based on money making more money. The First 12 Week Session covers Part I and has been recorded. It is available to be viewed through the MEP’s Vimeo. Upon registering\, these sessions will be made available and I recommend listening to as much as possible\, especially where Chapter 1 begins in in the fourth class. \nMary Boger\, political economist (MA) sociologist (PhD)\, and ethnographic researcher. MA Thesis: Marx on the Fetishism of Commodities. Dissertation: A Ghetto State of Ghettos: Palestinians Under Israeli Citizenship. A member of the original founders of the first School for Marxist Education (1975) and its continuation as the New York Marxist School/Brecht Forum (1979-2014) and Mary is now engaged with the work of the MEP. She has been teaching Capital for many years to students of all ages and diverse occupations\, backgrounds and countries of origin. Throughout these four and half decades. Mary has actively participated in movement struggles and solidarity work with a broad range of liberation struggles. \nAll classes and events are sliding scale.
