  1. Continuing my self education of Marxism with, "What is to Be Done?" by Lenin.

    So far I've read quite a few books by Marx and Engels. This will be my first Lenin text to read, but was recommend by leftists over on Reddit.

  2. If Acts Happened Today, Would We Call It Communism?

    For many, "communism" has become less a political philosophy and more a conversation stopper. But is every effort to use our shared resources to care for the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable really communism? This article examines the difference between political labels and biblical principles, comparing the teachings of the early Church with today's political rhetoric.

  3. 🚨𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 ($𝟲𝟮𝟱 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹)🚨

    Hi, I’m disabled and in need of ongoing support. I didn’t meet March’s goal, so that gap is now carrying into April.

    I had to prioritise meds last month and couldn’t pay utilities, so I need an additional $250 to stabilise this month.

    The bare minimum I need to get through a full month is:
    • Groceries: ~$250
    • Utilities + water: $90
    • Internet + phone data: $35
    That’s $𝟯𝟳𝟱/month just to cover the bare minimum.

    $100/month is currently pledged across platforms, still building toward stability.

    If you can help:
    • Monthly support (preferred): scan QR
    • One-off support package: scan QR (pic 2)
    • One-off support through Ko-fi:
    ko-fi.com/wrzky/goal

    This work sustains a global mutual-aid network and keeps me connected to comrades organising across borders.

    Whether it’s a one-off tip or a monthly pledge, your support helps keep this work going.

  4. Hype for the Future 68B: List of Capitalist Constructs

    Overview The vast majority of symptoms of modern capitalist and hyper-capitalist societies are indeed capitalist constructs, including the following coercive outcomes: Deadlines Procrastination Laziness Safety (Normativity) Heteronormativity Wage Labor Wage Slavery Commodification Privatization Individualism (especially hyper-individualism) Inflation Paychecks Pay cuts Pay raises Ageism (ranking individuals by seniority) Corporations “Solutions” have become fake and […]

  5. Hype for the Future 25G: Against Capitalism

    Capitalism is the system that perpetuates concepts of “test scores,” deadlines, procrastination, exploitation, wages, and the slavery that is necessary for such a system to function. The idea that capitalism makes a nation—or any national system or entity—free is actually a coerced notion, as society has been forced to believe that capitalism was the successful way forward for at least the past several decades, back in a time when speaking of communism or even socialism was most […]

  6. The Kingsbury Philosophical Debates, Continued

    The novaTop Community is particularly focused on identifying flawed outcomes caused by the current economic system(s) around the globe, including concerns about capitalism potentially resulting in extinction. According to Kingsbury, capitalism can actually exist without infinite growth nor the mere outcome of growth at all. Deceptichum would be identified as “uniquely wrong” (Kingsbury) because of the definition containing “unicorns” and “rainbows,” while Mojo and MrLee would […]

  7. Nancy Fraser: "David Harvey has inspired me for many years. In 1970 he guided my first reading of Capital Volume 1 in a New Left study group. We’ve since had many discussions, at conferences, symposia and book launches. The focus was usually the relation between two paradigms of Marxist theorizing, one (David’s) focused on capital, the other (mine) on the latter’s background conditions of possibility and thus, on capitalist society. We’ve co-taught a graduate seminar on this very theme. It is fitting, then, for me to celebrate David’s 90th by revisiting his Companion to Marx’s Grundrisse. That book is uniquely positioned to advance our discussion. Its chief concern is to explicate the sense in which capital constitutes a totality. But it also references Marx’s notes on “precapitalist economic formations,” which focus on societal “conditions of production” and suggest another, larger totality. In what follows, I want to contrast these two paradigms and probe the relation between them. My aim is to specify what I take to be David’s distinctive contribution to Marxian theory. I also hope to clarify what each paradigm might offer us now, as we try to navigate the most severe capitalist crisis in nearly a century. Finally, I hope to show what we might gain by combining them."

  9. ‘We cannot simply dust off old formulas to repeat; we need take the time necessary to invent a new strategy and new organizational forms adequate to the current conjuncture.’

    Michael Hardt calls for a radical reinvention of political strategy in his contribution to Berliner Gazette’s Pluriverse of Peace series:

    Ce livre analyse la vie et l’œuvre de l’historien et homme politique de Guyana, Walter Rodney (1942-1980), ses années de formation, ses influences, son idéologie, et son action politique.

    Alors que Rodney a fait l’objet d’une demi-douzaine de monographies en anglais, cet ouvrage est le premier travail en français consacré à cet historien anglophone. Il s’adresse autant à un public universitaire travaillant sur les mondes africains qu’à un public « militant » engagé sur les questions de développement et de luttes sociales.
