Reading Capital in an Age of Climate Change with Matt Huber - Jan 8 2025
While there is a robust and exploding literature on capitalism as the root cause of climate change, few have systematically explored Karl Marx’s most important finished work - Volume 1 of Capital - to bring to light the climate repercussions of capital’s “laws of motion.” Volume 1 is of special importance to a Marxist climate politics given the centrality of production in causing climate change itself. Matt Huber highlights the relevance to the climate crisis of key concepts such as value, the hidden abode of production, surplus-value, the accumulation of capital, primitive accumulation, and the expropriation of the expropriators.

Stephen Maher and Scott Aquanno present an innovative analysis of Amazon’s market power, drawing on major themes from Marx’s Capital, volume 2. In a recent report prepared for Amazon Worker Solidarity, they challenge understandings of “monopoly” common in mainstream economics as well as among sections of the left. Amazon’s “bigness” and lack of a direct competitor would seem to suggest that it ...

David McNally: Marx and Colonialism - May 18 2024
Просмотров 4528 месяцев назад
We marked 10 years of the MEP on May 18, 2024, with a keynote talk by David McNally on “Marx and Colonialism: The End of Capital and the Beginning of a Journey.” The concluding chapter of Capital volume 1 tackles “the modern theory of colonization.” Yet Marx only half-delivers on the promise implied. Rather than present a full-fledged account of capitalist colonialism, he pivots back to Europe ...

The Coup at Ford in Mexico with Rob McKenzie - Apr 30 2022
Fascinating insight into left wing intelligentsia. I have been sceptical that Marxism was taught in higher education facilities, in spite of being aware of the success of the long march through the institutions. But this video shows it’s true. Imagine studying a book written 150 years ago and thinking its messages are relevant today! It is a great example of obviously intelligent people being stupid. Thanks for opening my eyes to the extent to which western societies have been indoctrinated by Marxist rhetoric. God help us.
I read the old Penguin version. Volumes 1,2, and 3, still trying to find time to read the Grundrisse.
Want to thank Reitter for his translation. It has already found value pedagogically, and I'm sure many will use it going forward as a solid basis. Hope that vol 2 and 3 get the same treatment.
A friend of mine got me the new translation as an early Christmas gift. Already much more readable than the Fowkes’ one. Absolute god’s work.
Thanks for posting this. I hope you eventually get Paul North for his perspective on editing Reitter’s translation and William Clare Roberts for insight on the French editions.
David McNally. Outstanding as ever.
Dear thanks a lot
Mattei is such a brilliant badass
Thank you all for this well though out argumentation at this critical moment. Thank you Steve Backman and the Marxist Education Project with Bill Fletcher Jr. and Carl Davidson speaking to those who think it is treasonous to stop Trump and the racist right-wing, the New Confederates, by voting for the Democratic candidate to trounce him in the elections. Stop the fascists vote!
Look at the many experiments and deaths that socialism has caused throughout history and in various countries, and you will know whether it is good or bad.
Thanks for this event ... Great effort
This person is “If printing money would end poverty, printing diplomas would end stupidity” in the flesh.
be more vague
👍
Nah, Cats are pure Nietzsche
I loved McNally's book Monsters of the Market. Good to see him expand on themes discussed in it.
bump
Cristal clear Clara!
Thank you for this excellent video!
Marx was a Satanic priest who vowed to send earth into the abyss, to destroy God and halt the motions of the stars in heaven. And just an overall nice guy. He cares so much about humanity. Has had excellent results. _"If you can't tell the difference between shit and tuna fish, don't eat at a French restaurant."_
destroy christian god ?
Socialists fight the ruling class for all of us.
Climate Crisis was invented. Check Maurice Strong and the Club of Rome to verify.
Want this book!
anarchistfederation article on Decolonizing Permaculture brought me here
Women’s and gender studies? Marxist education project??? Communism is the bloodiest system in human history, no other system murdered, starved, terrorised people as Marxism. Go to the North Korea. Then talk. Such propaganda is outrageous and should be forbidden !
Can we give examples of workers who don't produce surplus value?
Any worker who doesn't sell a commodity or provide a service - a poet who writes a poem is an unproductive worker, but if the poem is published in a book and sold then they become a productive worker. Anyone who does domestic labour (housewives/husbands) do not produce surplus value. Also arguably most public sector workers do not produce surplus for the capitalists they are provide a service and are paid for through taxation.
Buenos días Queremos traducion en español... gracias
He doesn't make any sense. Officially the Communists of Russia and China have deliberately starved to death close to 50 million+ people while market capitalism approaches have brought several billion out of extreme poverty.
super
And the anarchist lives in Catalonia because of course he does hahaha
They don't pay you more for coming online and sucking their ass here. You gotta go do it IRL
1:05:02 are you able to link the paper mentioned here?
Clara is awesome.
I'm not trying to say this to annoy anyone. It is in good faith. Anarchocapitalism and voluntaryism are considered anti-state for the following reason and in the following sense. The right and wrong conduct, or the relationships that adhere to the ideology are decided on basis of NAP within the context of physical property (from property in ones ownsbody to scarce means acquired thourh homestead and trade). But there is no support for state in this ideology. No support of state means that noone is obliged to enforce the defense of property. Obligations are only local to individual contracts. When someone steals from you, you are not obliged to do anything against it and nobody else is obliged to do anything gainst it either unless they are bound by a contract to do so. If someone fails to follow their obligation, then they are in the same position as a thief. But who will punish this thief then? And so on ... In this sense, there is no default guarantor of anything. So social trust and relations play a big role. I thought that those things are just common sense and that the only point of contention between voluntaryists/ancaps and left anarchist who claim to be the true anarchists is whether there is a distinction between personal and private property.
thx a lot from a spaniard living in Belgium!!!
Whenever the state says "we," that means there is a "them." If you are wondering which category you're in, it's probably "them."
LOLOLOL

Excelente exposición. Gracias desde Costa Rica
That's why people say Italy , and stars start flickering in front of their eyes !!!😍
Where is your accent speaker from?
If we broadly accept the limits re climate and resources the ruling class rams down our throats daily, then if the labour movement don't pull their finger out and address these issues, the ruling class will have little choice but to instigate their authoritarian policies, which is already happening and could be considered the bedrock of scientific fascism.
Thank you for your contribution & teaching! Will you please consider narrating an audio of your book, that would be cool!
Digital technology will not raise productivity because it replaces unproductive labour and is deployed to grab market share rather than save labour time.
nice
I hit the working class with my tender young ass in 1980, so all I know is being used as fuel for those who rule. We are krill for the Wall Street whales, so may the omnipotent invisible hand of the market be with you in this mythos and neoliberalism.
NATO: set on creating a global civil war / it started jan 6 /2021/ with the Donald trump war games on the capitol hill, and now is going global/ china Pakistan France Germany, south america asia north america Hawaii, the 9/11 going wild on a global civil war 🤔 no wonder ignorance is strength, peace is war/ freedom is enslavement 🤔 however some call it morals & progress 🐾🐒🐽🪳
Garbage woke jihadi talking nonsense on a smelly communist YT channel, you couldn't make this up! " 24 views 3 months ago " And literally nobody cares
@ 13:00 ...And thankfully it's not covid. Lmfao. Make sure you take all the boosters
Global civil war? Prison planet? 4 minutes in and I'm realizing that Alex Jones has been right about half of the shit he was psychotically screaming about LOL. Looks like many of us on the Sociopolitical sphere have come to an integration. No time left for pacifism or amnesty.
A brilliant lecture. Explains clearly what is happening on the global scale
THE FACT IS THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PERMUTATIONS OF REALITY, THAT IF ANY SOOTHESAYER ACTUALLY GUESSES THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FUTURE (WITH INCOMPLETE INFORMATION) IT WOULD BE, ESSENTIALLY, CHANCE HAPPENSTANCE. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PREDICTING THE END OF CIVILIZATION SINCE CIVILIOZATION STARTED. SAME GOES FOR CAPITALISM WHICH CATERS TO THE SELFISH SIDE OF HUMAN NATURE.
Great session … Thank You 🙏
