Beyond Capitalism: The Struggle for a New Society Against Today's Globalized Capital
As the mass protest against the World Trade Organization in Seattle showed,
new movements are bringing Marx's Marxism to life. His greatest work
CAPITAL and his encounters with new phenomena and new movements after
completing it speak to today's new stage of globalization of capitalism and
the emerging revolts against it.
This class series will connect Marx's theory of globalization with today's
movements through the modern theory of state-capitalism and the
philosophyof Marxist-Humanism as articulated by Raya Dunayevskaya. Her work
ROSA LUXEMBURG, WOMEN'S LIBERATION AND MARX'S PHILOSOPHY OF REVOLUTON will
be the central reading.
When new modes of organizing have been the preoccupation of so many
movements, the time is now also to connect liberatory theory to the
dialectics of organization.
