Marxism

In anticipation of this year’s May Day, we present an adaptation of last year’s hour of radical and celebratory music and audio.

Alex Callinicos of the Socialist Workers Party at Marxism 2007 spoke on “From Marx’s Capital to Capitalism in the 21st Century”. This talk and many others can be found on the Resistance MP3 site. Hopefully, this will inspire you to pick up Marx’s master work, and if so, please check out David Harvey’s excellent online resource.

Michael Parenti becomes convinced of reality’s inherently Marxist bias. Robert Langston speaks on Dialectics and Revolution. KPFA issued an excellent 5-part series entitled, “Capitalism and its Discontents”; we feature excerpts. Adam Turl exposes the lies Corporate America shills about the Employee Free Choice Act.

While the US media showered the new president with 24-7 adoration, Obama’s deafening silence over the slaughter of innocents by the Israeli war-machine laid bare the cruel calculus of American Empire in the Middle East. Whether by fascist bombers in Spain or the Zionist IDF in Gaza, the US government has never concerned themselves with the butchery of civilians. Also, we present Gary Lapon’s insightful commentary on an article by NYT columnist, Nicholas Kristoff entitled, “Where Sweatshops are a Dream”. We also look back on this day, January 22nd in revolutionary history.

Time to organize.
