The success of failure

This is an article N. wanted me to write. It is a revision of something I wrote in India though it’s really rough. Again comments would be super ausgezeichnet!

The Pains of Labor

I’m a little embarassed/shy to put this up here, but here goes… this is an article about the organizer as a midwife (borrowed from plato’s dialogue in the theaetetus). I could split the second half and do two articles: the midwife article that’s all sappy, and then an article on how we should organize to transform social relations what that means, what it entails, how we should change our language, assessments, and goals.

Sex, Race, and Class

I just finished reading Selma James’ Sex, Race, and Class. The article makes interesting arguments of how we understand class, and its relationship to struggles around youth, gender, and race.

The Eclipse and Re-emergence of the Commie Movement

I just finished reading Gilles Dauve’s book The Eclipse and Re-emergence of the Communist Movement. I have to say that I think the book as close as anything I’ve read to being a truly marxean piece of theory (to a fault even). Dauve raises a number of problems for council communists, ultra-lefts, and anarchists alike which I think are worth addressing.
