Fred Magdoff and Chris Williams, who have devoted their lives to activism, Marxist analysis, and ecological science, provide informed, fascinating accounts of how a new world can be created from the ashes of the old. The Faltering Economy The Problem of Accumulation Under Monopoly Capitalism Resource Type: Book Published: 1984 The essays in this volume are part of a radical attempt to grapple with the problems of advanced capitalist development without discarding the real theoretical breakthroughs made by Keynes. Finding Hope After Seattle Rethinking Radical Activism and Building a Movement Resource Type: Article Published: 2000 Direct action, as many anarchists tend to define it, can be deeply exclusionary. While it undeniably empowers some — mainly white and middle-class — it disempowers others. Used as a central tactic of mass mobilizations, direct action can in fact implicitly assume a certain degree of privilege, with dire consequences. Free Public Transit Resource Type: Film/Video Published: 2015 This video focuses on accessibility when it comes to public transit in Tallinn, Estonia and how transit issues intersect with social justice issues. Globalization of Capital, Globalization of Struggle Resource Type: Article Published: 2012 Something has escaped the control of the Democrats, the NGOs, the SEIU and the left sects — of official society and those attempting its mere facelift — which will not be easily brought to heel. Hundreds of thousands of people who had never before been in mass mobilizations (or mobilizations of any kind) found themselves confronting the police, facing tear gas and pepper spray, going to jail and learning in the streets what can never be learned any other way. The Growth Illusion How economic growth has enriched the few, impoverished the many and endangered the planet Resource Type: Book Published: 1999 Douthwaite argues that strategies used by governments to raise national income often increase poverty and unemployment. Moreover, in the USA, Britiain, Germany and Australia, each increase in national income consumes more resources than it creates on a sustainable basis. In other words, these economies are running backwards and making their citizens worse off. How will we get to an ecological civilization? Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 Capitalism's infrastructure, which is designed to dominate nature, cannot simply be taken over and used for an ecological transformation. Only a complete, root-and-branch change will do the job. The International Context of Global Outrage Part I: Looking back on the movements that preceded the Arab Spring, the Indignados, and Occupy Wall Street Resource Type: Article Published: 2012 Klein vs. Klein Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 This Changes Everything is a book capacious enough to allow Naomi Klein two positions at once. But a real climate-justice movement will at some point have to make choices. Marxism.ca Resource Type: Website Published: 2016 A gateway to resources about Marxism compiled by Connexions. Marx's Concept of the Alternative to Capitalism Resource Type: Book Published: 2013 In contrast to the traditional view that Marx's work is restricted to a critique of capitalism – and that he consciously avoided any detailed conception of its alternative – this work shows that Marx was committed to a specific concept of a post-capitalist society which informed the whole of his approach to political economy. My politics in brief Resource Type: Article Published: 2011 The New Face of the Radical Right? Amerika's Would-be Pravy Sektor Resource Type: Article Published: 2014 In 2009, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Political Research Associates agreed that Anarchist Nationalism "could become the new face of the radical right" in the USA. Attempting to mix subcultural anarchist mores with a cross-cutting class analysis that hinges on racial separatism and ancestral traditions, such as tribalism, Anarchist Nationalism demonstrate a worrying tendency of reactionaries to co-opt radical language in attempts to gain control over large popular fronts. The 1% of the 99% and an Anti-Capitalist Alternative Resource Type: Article Published: 2011 What we need right now is for autonomous political organizing in both unionized and non-unionized workplaces, schools,and in the streets. Other Voices: The Connexions Newsletter - November 21, 2015 Climate Change and Social Change Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical) Published: 2015 This issue of Other Voices spotlights climate change, the escalating crisis that the upcoming Paris climate conference is supposed to address. But climate change is not a single problem: it is a product of an economic system whose driving force is the need to grow and accumulate. Nor does it affect everyone equally: those with wealth and power can buy themselves what they need to continue living comfortably for years to come - everything from air conditioning to food to police and soldiers to protect their secure bubbles - while those who are poor and powerless find their lives increasingly impossible. A serious effort to address climate change therefore means social change and economic change. Our Generation Volume 9 number 1 Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical) Published: 1973 Our Generation Volume 19 Number 1 Resource Type: Article Published: 1987 Popular Movements Toward Socialism Their Unity and Diversity Resource Type: Article Published: 2014 The following reflections deal with a permanent and fundamental challenge that has confronted, and continues to confront, all popular movements struggling against capitalism. By this I mean both those of movements whose explicit radical aim is to abolish the system based on private proprietorship over the modern means of production in order to replace it with a system based on workers’ social proprietorship, and those of movements which, without going so far, involve mobilization aimed at real and significant transformation of the relations between labor and capital. Both sorts of movements can contribute, in varying degree, to calling capitalism into question; but they also might merely create the illusion of movement in that direction, although in fact only forcing capital to make the transformations it would need to co-opt a given set of working-class demands. A Question of Place Resource Type: Article Published: 2000 Global capitalism relentlessly displaces people and abandons places because it views local communities, cities, and even nations as inconveniences in the path of progress. Place-consciousness, on the other hand, encourages us to come together around common, local experiences and organize around our hopes for the future of our communities and cities. While global capitalism doesn't give a damn about the people or the natural environment of any particular place because it can always move on to other people and other places, place-based civic activism is concerned about the health and safety of people and places.

Sweat and Struggle Working Class Struggles In Canada 1789 - 1899 Resource Type: Book Published: 1974 Syriza and Sanders: "Just Say 'No'" to Neo-liberalism Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 Hopes for Syriza's negotiations with the banking troika in the EU simmered and even boiled over among elements of the left, especially after the vaunted "No" referendum vote suggested that the Greeks would not succumb to another wave of austerity measures but would instead stand firm, even if this meant potentially leaving the EU. We have seen these hopes dashed by the subsequent "negotiations," in which Tsipras seemed to have negotiated backwards, arriving at an agreement that was worse than the one rejected by the Greek voters in the referendum vote. Thompson, William Morris and Ecosocialist Tasks Resource Type: Article Published: 2013 Bernabe highlights E.P. Thompson's biography of William Morris and his theories regarding ecosocialism.

Weatherman Resource Type: Book Published: 1971 A history of the Weatherman organization. Working Toward Whiteness How America's Immigrants Became White Resource Type: Book Published: 2005 Yes, There is an Alternative! A review of Marx's Concept of the Alternative to Capitalism, by Peter Hudis Resource Type: Article Published: 2014 Peter Hudis has written a valuable analysis of what Marx said on a critical issue. In this sense it reminds me of Hal Draper’s volumes on Karl Marx’s Theory of Revolution. Hudis’s subject matter differs from Draper’s in that it deals with what comes after the revolution, rather than with how we get there. It also differs in method: While Draper was centrally concerned with Marx’s politics, Hudis, writing in what’s called the Marxist-Humanist tradition, sees engagement with Hegel’s dialectic as an essential part of creating a Marxism adequate to ever-changing times.
