What We Are Reading
Added 2021-03-15 18:47:39 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Some really interesting pieces in today's readings. First up is a piece by the great Marxist James Connolly on class war and the state. We are hoping to do a lot more regarding his work in the future so be on the lookout for that. Next up are two sections on reform v. revolution question. First is Rosa Luxemburg's analysis of the reformist movement - familiarity with her work on reformism is critical for how we analyze. Panitch has criticisms of this framing especially in the way that Rosa's arguments are brought into the present without much need for contextualization - so regarding that, I have Panitch responding to the questions raised by SYRIZA's rise and eventual breakdown in power.
As always if there are future topics you'd be interested in let me know.
