The Global South countries face extremely unfair trade when engaging with the Global North, because the West charges high prices for their products and the rest of the world is left with low remuneration due to their low wages. This creates an unequal exchange and low terms of trade for the Global South. This situation has attempted to be reversed by many proposals from the Non-Aligned Movement and New International Economic Order, but one unique solution has been proposed by Arghiri Emmanuel: a tax on exports. This could bring the equilibrium price of the Global South's products up, and lower the costs for their products. It's a solution worth exploring to address the inequality the Global South faces.

Emmanuel held deep reservations about such alliances, while Bettelheim maintained that they were both feasible and necessary. In the decades since, Bettelheim's position has become the majority opinion within many progressive and revolutionary movements. Recent years, however, have seen a renewed interest in Emmanuel's arguments. The collection Turning Money into Rebellion tells the dramatic and little-known story of a particularly committed contingent of Western European revolutionaries deeply influenced by Emmanuel's ideas.As the debate was playing out in the pages of Le Monde, a small group of Danish Maoists took the unusual step of breaking relations with the Communist Party of China over these very questions. In 1970, they formed an underground organization of highly disciplined cadres who would implement what they saw as the political implications of Emmanuel's position: to forego the fight for socialism in the immediate future in Denmark, and turn instead toward the third world. From 1972 on, they devoted their efforts to political solidarity work through a legal charity that they founded, Clothes to Africa, and a criminal cell—unknown to most members of either the group or the charity—that carried out bank robberies to help fund progressive forces fighting for revolution in Palestine, South Africa, and elsewhere.Over the next twenty years, the robbers, calling themselves the Manifest–Communist Working Group (M-KA), channeled millions of dollars to such movements around the world. They never tried to justify any given robbery in political terms, through statements or communiqués, preferring that police believe it was the work of ordinary thieves. This extreme expression of solidarity derived from the group's analysis of Danish society, and their belief that the Danish working class as a whole was too complacent to take any interest in international solidarity with the revolutionary proletariat in the neo- and semi-colonies, because they had been “bribed” by imperialist super-profits. Following their arrest in 1989, they became known as the Blekinge Street Gang, after the site of their hideout in Copenhagen.Today it might seem that only specialist scholars and activists would take any interest in an organization like the M-KA, never mind read an anthology of essays, interviews, and documents detailing their ideology and activities. After all, such ultraleft groupuscules abounded in Europe and North America in the 1970s, and despite the sensational headlines they generated, their real influence was, in the main, negligible. The M-KA never had more than fifteen members; its predecessor, the Communist Working Circle (KAK), had twenty-five. What makes them historically noteworthy, and Turning Money into Rebellion a riveting read, is their unusual fusion of academic theories of unequal exchange with a revolutionary praxis of armed expropriations, used to fund revolutionary movements across the neo- and semi-colonies.monthlyreview(dot)org/2017/09/01/theorists-and-thieves/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unequalexchange/support

The short answer: no. Emmanuel offers a proof to demonstrate that low waged countries would need to have an inversely proportional rate of profit to mitigate the difference in prices caused by high wages in another country. This is highly unrealistic, as all evidence prior shows that the formation of an average rate of profit occurs rather than an average rate of wages.

To begin this series on key concepts in the political economy of unequal exchange, we introduce the notion of price of production schemas, based on average profits and cost-prices. The concept of the "price of production" is a central element of the economic analysis outlined in Volume III of "Capital." The price of production represents the average cost of production for a commodity in a given industry, including not only the direct costs of labor and materials but also a portion of the total capital invested in fixed assets (machinery, buildings, etc.). It is distinct from market prices, which can fluctuate due to supply and demand dynamics. To learn more, here are the two chapters of Volume III that cover this subject: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1894-c3/ch09.htm https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1894-c3/ch01.htm To support our work, consider supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ArghiriEmmanuelAssociation?utm_source=iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=spotify-announcement --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unequalexchange/support

In the 1960s, the independence of the Congo seemed to herald the delinking of one of Africa's most powerful economies and nations from Western imperialism. Patrice Lumumba presented a vision of a unified, Pan-African Congo whose resources "would actually benefit its children". This posed an immense challenge to the rule of Belgian high finance, the major mining companies in the Katanga province led by Union Minière du Haut-Katanga, and not least the white settlers who by 1960 numbered 110,000 throughout the Congo, yet accrued half of the value of the entire country. And of course, the rising imperial hegemon of the time, America, refused to allow a socialist Congo allied with the Soviet Union. All these forces unified to remove Lumumba and crush his Pan-African vision. In the ensuing conflict, imperialism would win out even against the settlers. Yet the resistance of the Congo continued, with Lumumbist figures like Antoine Gizenga rising and struggling to create socialism in the Congo. In this first episode of an ongoing series aimed to reveal the ways the Congo has been exploited by unequal exchange, we begin with reference to Arghiri Emmanuel, who began his theorization of unequal exchange by seeing its brutal effects firsthand while advising and allying with Lumumba. Thus, we tease out the roots of Unequal Exchange analysis as a method of solidarity with Third World liberation, originating undeniably in the Congo.

Though Thomas Sankara was removed and assassinated in a comprador counter-revolution backed by the West 36 years ago, his legacy is still a source of revolutionary inspiration for the Burkinabé people and their ongoing revolutionary struggle against imperialism. Today, after a period of great unrest, a military government led by Captain Ibrahim Traoré has signaled some shifts towards justice for Sankara and the continuation of his legacy - but work remains for the Burkinabé revolution.  That work is being greatly assisted by the efforts of the Thomas Sankara Center for Liberation and African Unity, an initiative designed to support the Sankarist project and its continuation through pedagogy for the youth and the continued distribution of revolutionary literature.

The Liberation Support Movement (LSM) was an anti-imperialist organization founded by Don Barnett and based in Canada and the United States from 1968 until 1982. The group's activities supported indigenous resistance movements in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, South Africa/Azania, East Timor, and more. They were in contact and collaboration with the Danish M-KA organization as well. Here, we give an audio-presentation of LSM's “Principles of Anti-Imperialist Work”, where they lay out the theory and praxis that guided their organization. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cadre-journal/support

After a genocide committed by colonial Germany from 1904-1908 against the Herero and Nama peoples, and occupation by Apartheid South Africa from 1915 to 1990, Namibia remains deeply scarred by the colonial legacy, particularly on the question of land. In 1990, the white settler minority which made up less than 0.5 percent of the population owned almost all commercial land in Namibia. In 2018, 28 years after independence from the Apartheid regime, land inequality remained high, with white settlers owning 70 percent of agricultural land and Namibians only 16 percent. The Landless Peoples' Movement of Namibia, founded in 2017, seeks to address this inequality with radical land redistribution and rights for the landless, as well as reparations for Germany's genocide. We interviewed Henny Seibeb to learn more about their efforts to fight for reparations and land now!

What does it mean to commit your life to struggle for anti-imperialism? How does it affect you in a political group fighting together in solidarity? What are the benefits and limitations of an undercover strategy? These are some of the questions that Torkil Lauesen and other members of the Manifest-Communist Working Group (Manifest–Kommunistisk Arbejdsgruppe) of Denmark asked themselves as they engaged in revolutionary support for liberation struggles in the Global South. Lauesen joined us to discuss his global perspective on this work and reflect in a dialectical manner on this time period.

We interview Christian Høgsbjerg (author of "C.L.R. James in Imperial Britain") on the Revolutionary life of James, an activist and theorist, renowned author, and foremost advocate for Pan-African revolution. James's numerous texts range from the legendary (Black Jacobins, Beyond a Boundary) to the overlooked (Notes on Dialectics, A History of Pan-African Revolt), so we didn't get to cover everything here, but hope this is a useful introduction to James.

In 1979, Maurice Bishop and the New J.E.W.E.L. Movement (NJM) came to power, in the spirit of the Cuban and Haitian revolutions, against an authoritarian neocolonial puppet and promised to end illiteracy, poverty, and the colonial condition of Grenada as a site of former enslavement and ongoing extraction. 4 years later (and 40 years past from 2023) Bishop was dead, assassinated by members of his own revolutionary government, and Ronald Reagan was authorizing the imperialist invasion of a tiny island that posed no threat to the American Empire. What happened? The story of the Grenadian Revolution is a complicated tale of Vanguards and Masses; a dialectical interplay of the forces that make revolution possible. In looking at the 40th anniversary of the end of the short-lived revolution, we ask how a revolution's flame can burn so bright that even its extinguishing still casts a shadow on the Caribbean today. Our guest is David Austin, the author of the Casa de las Americas Prize-winning Fear of a Black Nation: Race, Sex, and Security in Sixties Montreal, Moving Against the System: The 1968 Congress of Black Writers and the Making of Global Consciousness, and Dread Poetry and Freedom: Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Unfinished Revolution.

What is Proletarian Internationalism? And how do we implement it today? Anti-Imperialist struggle is not just a remnant of the past; it has to be conducted in the ongoing fight against the unequal division of the world by the imperialists. We discussed with Justin Yeary, the Treasurer of Friends of Swazi Freedom, on his recent solidarity mission to South Africa to assist the Communist Party of Swaziland in their ongoing struggle against neocolonialism, and his theory of internationalism. We hope comrades learn from this example about ways they can participate in internationalist solidarity. https://friendsofswazi.com https://twitter.com/KansasSBC https://discord.gg/RURAWQWJ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cadre-journal/support
