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: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.
