Capitalism is a revolutionary situation of the last stage of pre-history, and the potential and possibility for freedom, or else it is just what Hegel said history has always been: the slaughter-bench of everything good and virtuous humanity has ever achieved. Marxism defined itself as the critical self-consciousness of this task of socialism in capitalism, but this has been eclipsed by the mere moral condemnation of catastrophe. This happened as a result of Marxism's own failure, over a hundred years ago, to make good on the crisis. This pattern has repeated itself since then, in ever more obscure ways.  Chris Cutrone's Marxism and Politics: Essays on Critical Theory 2006-2024 (Sublation Media, 2024) span the time of the Millennial Left's abortive search to rediscover a true politics for socialism in the history of Marxism: the attempted recovery of a lost revolutionary tradition. Cutrone's participation as a teacher alongside this journey into the heart of Marxism was guided by the Millennial investigation into controversial and divisive figures such as Vladimir Lenin, Rosa Luxembourg, Leon Trotsky, Georg Lukacs, Theodor Adorno and the Frankfurt School, and Marx himself. The question of a political party for socialism loomed large--but was abandoned. Readers of these essays will find no taboo unchallenged, as every aspect of Marxism's accumulated wreckage is underwritten by the red thread and haunting memory of what was once the world-historical character of socialist revolution.

Il se passe quelque chose d'important en Allemagne. Une nouvelle formation politique de gauche a émergé à l'occasion des élections régionales. Ce parti politique a moins d'un an, mais a sorti la grande gagnante des élections régionales en Thuringe et en Saxe qu'est Sahra Wagenknecht. On l'appelle la nouvelle Rosa Luxembourg. Née d'une mère allemande et d'un père iranien, elle se présente comme une conservatrice de gauche. "Cette insaisissable femme conservatrice de gauche bouleverse l'échiquier politique", conclue Abnousse Shalmani. On a remis un rapport à Michel Barnier sur la manière de revaloriser le pouvoir d'achat. Pascal Perri dit qu'on ne privilégie pas la bonne piste, car rien ne remplace la qualification. "Moi, je pense que c'est la qualification qui fait l'emploi", affirme-t-il. L'idée c'était de désmicardiser. En France, nous avons deux millions de smicards et quatre millions de personnes qui sont juste au-dessus du SMIC. "Il faut envisager d'autres moyens, peut-être aussi se poser d'autres questions autour des bas salaires." Avec le procès Mazan, on voit de plus en plus d'hommes faire leur autocritique. Cela se passe parfois publiquement, parce qu'ils sont des hommes. L'image du défilé de 51 hommes au procès Pelicot est terrible. Cela fait frémir par la quantité ainsi que par la banalité des profils. Du coup, tous les hommes sont-ils potentiellement coupables ? D'après Ruth Elkrief : "Tous les hommes ne sont pas des violeurs en puissance." Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.

Get access to Part 2 and exclusive episodes on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime In this episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, I am joined by James Vaughn, a Marxist historian at the University of Chicago, to discuss the history of the American Revolution and what people on the left tend to get wrong about it. James explains how the "progressive" narrative of the American Revolution differs from the classical Marxist position on the American Revolution and the history of bourgeois revolutions in general. We will see how the ways in which Marx, Engels, Lenin, Kautsky, and Rosa Luxembourg viewed the American Revolution were radically different from the ways in which the contemporary left (both in Academia and in the activist world) viewed the American Revolution.

We welcome Marxist scholars Sara Nadal-Melsió & Eduardo Cadava for a discussion on their new book "Politically Red". If as Brecht said "reading is class struggle" what does that mean for us as Marxists? How are we to orient ourselves in reading groups? How is reading political? Politically Red focuses on the work of Walter Benjamin, Frederic Jameson, Rosa Luxembourg, W.E.B. DuBois and we discuss some of the key ideas of this new book. Check it Politically Red here: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262047807/politically-red

Episode 3 : « La paix dans le patriarcat est une guerre contre les femmes » Ce troisième épisode revient sur les premières oppositions entre féministes libérales et féministes de gauche. Maria Mies analyse l'émergence du féminisme culturel qui pose les bases des théories queers. L'occasion de rappeler que le mouvement féministe est ancré dans la libération de la parole des femmes sur leurs corps et la violence infligée par les hommes (Body Politics). En interrogeant les positions de Marx et Rosa Luxembourg, Maria Mies montre comment le féminisme s'inscrit dans la lutte pour l'émancipation et la libération des femmes de l'État, de l'Église, du capitalisme et des hommes. Et au cœur de cette structure d'exploitation des femmes : le travail des femmes. Bonne écoute !

This week's guest is Stephen May whose fifth novel, Sell Us the Rope is a fictional retelling of events surrounding the 5th Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour party, which took place in London in 1907.We spend most of our time following Koba—as the young man who would become Stalin was then known—as he arrives in a poverty-riddled city, and plunges into the heart of turn-of-the-century revolutionary politics. There's factionalism, and arguments, and strategising, and backstabbing, and money-grubbing, as well as the constant shadowy presence of the Okhrana—Russia's over active secret police force. There are also appearances by some of the defining personalities of the 20th-century—Lenin, Trotsky, Gorky and Rosa Luxembourg among them—long before they left their indelible marks on modern history.*SUBSCRIBE NOW FOR BONUS EPISODESLooking for Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses? https://podfollow.com/sandcoulyssesIf you want to spend even more time at Shakespeare and Company, you can now subscribe for regular bonus episodes and early access to Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses.Subscribe on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/sandcoSubscribe on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/shakespeare-and-company-writers-books-and-paris/id1040121937?l=enAll money raised goes to supporting “Friends of Shakespeare and Company” the bookshop's non-profit, created to fund our noncommercial activities—from the upstairs reading library, to the writers-in-residence program, to our charitable collaborations, and our free events.*Stephen May is the author of five novels including Life!

Cet entretien est réalisé avec Ndongo Samba Sylla, un économiste du développement sénégalais qui vit à Dakar, et travaille avec la fondation Rosa Luxembourg.  Cette interview a été enregistrée en octobre 2021.Il a écrit de nombreux ouvrages sur les économies, la politique et le développement de l'Afrique. Son dernier livre "Africa's last colonial currency" traite de l'impact du CFA sur les économies ouest-africaines. Il soutient que l'utilisation du CFA piège l'Afrique dans l'impérialisme économique. Dans cet épisode, Ndongo Samba Sylla aborde plusieurs sujets, notamment Pourquoi le Sénégal n'est pas, contrairement aux idées reçues, une démocratie qui fonctionne Les raisons du succès et de l'échec des mouvements sociaux au Sénégal / Afrique de l'Ouest L'impact de la révolution de la classe ouvrière sur les mouvements sociaux d'aujourd'hui en Afrique. Si nous avons besoin d'un plaidoyer transnational pour combattre l'impérialisme économique Le rôle d'Ousmane Sonko et des autres candidats de l'opposition : Peuvent-ils canaliser les frustrations des Sénégalais vers une réforme transformationnelle ? Ndongo Samba Sylla mentionne le Rapport Alternatif Sur l'Afrique que vous pouvez trouver ici.  Jetez également un œil au Collectif pour le renouveau africain, qu'il a cofondé.  Si vous voulez en savoir plus sur l'artiste préféré de Ndongo Samba Sylla en ce moment, jetez un coup d'œil à Boubacar Diop, un écrivain et journaliste sénégalais qui a récemment remporté le Prix international de littérature de Neustadt.

This episode is something of a special, a recording of our first ever ‘live' event, which was held on Friday 8 October on Zoom. We were delighted to be joined by Mike Finn and Dana Mills, to mark the recent publication of Mike's book ‘Debating Anarchism' (Bloomsbury 2021). Mike's book is a brilliant, provocative introduction to the debates which surround anarchist history and theory, so we felt this would be a good opportunity to explore some of these with Mike himself, and Dana, an activist and author of – amongst many other works – a brilliant biography of Rosa Luxembourg, published in 2020 with Reaktion Books. Towards the end of the conversation we opened up for some audience questions. If you're interested in buying 'Debating Anarchism,' you can get 35% off paperback and e-book editions when buying from the Bloomsbury website, using the following codes: UK: GLR TW9UK US: GLR TW9US Canada: GLR TW9CA Australia: GLR TW9AU ************************************************************ You can keep in touch with the podcast via email: abcwithdannyandjim@gmail.com, and Facebook, Twitter and Instragram, all @abcdannyandjim.

La plume la plus politique du rap francophone nous engage à tisser des « lianes solides » entre les mouvements « écologistes, féministes, anticapitalistes et panafricains », pour faire briller les énergies « cachées sous la brume des systèmes d'oppression ».« J'suis pas un ouf, je suis en colère. Vous êtes des oufs de ne pas l'être. » C'était fin mai, près des platines de Sims sur Nova : le retour époustouflant de la plume la mieux renseignée du rap francophone, vingt minutes de live avec Rocé « l'intrépide » – dont le flow posé navigua entre quelques-uns de ses titres exemplaires (On s'habitue, En apnée) et des tranches de son nouvel EP, Poings serrés, à paraître vendredi sur le label Hors Cadres. « Les MCs appellent punchlines ce que j'appelle écrire. ». Un tel échantillon de rimes « simples, intenses » rappela, si nécessaire, que le hip hop hexagonal peut évoquer autre chose que la virilité toxique de machos matamores, une bien pauvre obsession pour l'argent et la réussite individuelle, ou de pseudos exploits criminels.Sur le récent Cxpitxlistes, celui qui se nomme à l'état-civil José Youcef Lamine Kaminsky écrit par exemple : « J'aimerais transformer le malheur en fleur / pour voir qui ferme le poing sur les épines / Tout ce qui y est bon dans cette vie se fait descendre / Mais on ne fera pas du feu avec des cendres / Ils ont cassé humanité et jambes / de l'Afrique à la cordillère des Andes (…) On est mangé par du capitalisme, alors on meurt sur du capitalisme (…) Ce monde nous vend le dépassement de soi / Pas pour le sport mais pour un poste en stage / Comme ça tu t'exploiteras toi-même / Pas pour l'oseille mais pour pas être en marge. »Sur Tenir debout, ce « Russo-Algérien panafricain » né en 1977 à Bab-el-Oued, catapulté sept ans plus tard dans le 9-4, se demande : « On laissera quoi aux gosses à part une vie de start-up ? Des cagnottes, des hold-ups, des ragots et des carottes ? Aucune bonne intention, pas de projet de société, ils ne cherchent pas à protéger, ne cherchent pas à s'auto-gérer. » Puis Rocé égrène à toute vitesse la liste de ses principales références politiques et littéraires – Frantz Fanon, Miriam Makeba, Rosa Luxembourg, Aimé Césaire, Che Guevara… –, en passant par son père, Adolfo Kaminsky, résistant et spécialiste dans la fabrication de faux-papiers pour peuples en révolte aux quatre coins du globe.Toujours disposé, depuis 2001, à « changer le monde », Rocé grimpe avec panache à bord de L'Arche de Nova et nous engage à « tisser des lianes solides » entre les mouvements « écologistes, féministes, anticapitalistes et panafricains », ainsi que d'inclure « l'Histoire des vaincus à l'école », pour faire briller les énergies collectives « cachées sous la brume des systèmes d'oppression ». Tandis que les gauches rament à s'unir face à l'effarante montée de l'extrême-droite aux multiples visages, le rappeur nous incite, si, on peut le faire, à « briser l'inertie ».

Despite the political and institutional changes that occurred with Africa's decolonisation process in the second half of the 20th century, many colonial constructs remain to this very day. One of the most obvious and egregious symbols of these continuities is no doubt the CFA franc. The acronym of this currency created in 1945 by the French provisional government originally stood for franc of the French colonies in Africa. It still circulates in eight countries in West Africa and six countries in Central Africa, and its imperial founding principles haven’t really changed. For a deeper understanding of the CFA Franc, we spoke to Dr.  Ndongo Samba Sylla, a Senegalese development economist who lives in Dakar, and works with the Rosa Luxembourg foundation. Ndongo recently published a book, written together with Fanny Pigeaud,  titled: Africa's Last Colonial Currency: The CFA Franc Story. Through an exploration of the genesis of the currency and an examination of how the economic system works, the book outlines how colonialism persists in many African countries.

This week I am delighted to welcome back to the show, the Jazz Pianist, Marxist auto-didact, YouTube star, and the man behind the Kapitalism 101 blog, Brendan Cooney. I’ve recently just finished reading volume II of Marx’s Das Kapital, and so I’ve invited Brendan on the show to see what he makes of it all. We discuss Marx's concept of science, dialectics, Rosa Luxembourg and empire, the role of gold and silver in Marx's work, and the games people play. You can check out Brendan's Blog here: http://kapitalism101.wordpress.com/ And his great YouTube videos here: https://www.youtube.com/user/brendanmcooney/videos
