Under the Socialist Banner - - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

Recent years have seen a massive growth of interest in socialism, particularly among young people. But few are fully aware of socialism ''s revolutionary history. For this reason, an appreciation of the Second International--often called the "Socialist International"--during its Marxist years is particularly relevant.From 1889 to 1912 resolutions of the Second International helped disseminate and popularize a revolutionary aim: the overturn of capitalism and its replacement by the democratic rule of the working class, as a first step toward socialism. Despite weaknesses and contradictions that led to the Second International ''s collapse in 1914, its resolutions during these years remain a resource for those studying the socialist movement ''s history and objectives. Many of the topics dealt with--war and militarism, immigration, trade unions and labor legislation, women ''s rights, colonialism, socialist strategy and tactics--remain just as relevant today.This book is the first English-language collection ever assembled of all the resolutions adopted by congresses of the Second International in its Marxist years.

Supranational Corporation, The: Beyond The Multinationals - Laura Westra - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

This work lays bare corporate actions both domestic and international, under the guise of legal "personhood," and shows how corporations flaunt laws and act as controlling powers beyond the constraints imposed on legal state citizens.

European Bloc Imperialism - Dennis C Canterbury - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

The Poverty Of Work - David Van Arsdale - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

This chilling look inside the history of employment agencies in the U.S. argues that they should have been abolished with slavery, or at the very least, put under tight government control.

In the process millions are trapped in a cycle of unemployment, despair, and poverty.

The Bottom Worker in East Asia - - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

The protagonist of The Bottom Worker in East Asia: Composition and Transformation under Neoliberal Globalization is a bottom worker. Bottom workers are workers in the North and the South, who have suffered from the downward pressure of hierarchy under neoliberal globalization and have been re-stratified among themselves, from employed irregularly to self-employed and the working homeless. The existing division has become increasingly more fluid as the disparities in working conditions and wages are compressed downward. The book examines workers'' entrapment at the bottom, getting off the bottom, and intersecting each other by analyzing how they work, reside in, and build lifeworlds in cities and suburbs of four East Asian countries. In this way, it draws a dynamic picture of the contemporary working class. Contributors are : Tatsuto Asakawa, Ilju Kim, Jah-Hon Koo, Ashita Matsumiya, Yuko Matsusono, Shinji Sakamoto, Keishiro Tsutsumi, Keiko Yamaguchi, and Tsubasa Yuki.

Time In Marx: The Categories Of Time In Marx's Capital - Stavros Tombazos - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

Time in Marx demonstrates that the basic concepts of the three volumes of Capital come under different categories of time: "time of production" in volume one is linear, time of circulation” in the second is circular, while in the third volume organic time” is the unity of the two. Capitalist relations emerge as a definite organization of social time that obeys its own intrinsic criteria and operates as an autonomous, social subject.

Capital Accumulation And Migration - Dennis C Canterbury - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

Despite the renewed interest in the impact of migration upon economic development in general, remarkably few studies have taken up the ways in which the geographic flows of labor impact capital accumulation itself. Capital Accumulation and Migration attempts to fill this gap by analyzing a wide breadth of literature dealing with the changes to the global economy under neoliberalism, with a particular focus on examining the ways in which the migration process has been financialized and has thus been transformed into a source of profits.

Reform, Revolution, and Opportunism - - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

An essential record from the Second International, expertly curated by Under the Socialist Banner editor Mike Taber. At its height, the Second International (1889-1916) represented the majority of organized workers in the world, and the largest of its affiliated parties counted over a million members. Its congresses drew delegates from across the globe, and its major victories—like the eight-hour work day—have long outlasted the organization itself. In this important collection of debates and resolutions from the Second International, Reform, Revolution, and Opportunism captures the International’s vibrancy and gives a snapshot of its strengths, weaknesses, and contradictions. Socialist militants turned to the Second International to deliberate on how best to combat the latest deprivations and excesses of capitalism, which was stretching beyond national boundaries for the first time. These new issues and the debates about how to respond to them—surging immigration; what to say about colonialism; how to relate to burgeoning struggles for women’s rights; the drive to intern-imperialist war—remain deeply contested over a hundred years later. Taken together with Under the Socialist Banner , Reform Revolution, and Opportunism offers a rounded view of the Second International and its legacy, showing it to be a living, breathing movement with crucial insights for contemporary radicals.

Communist International And U.s. Communism, 1919-1929 - Jacob A. Zumoff - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

The Communist Party of the United States of America was founded amid the wave of international revolutionary struggles inspired by the Russian Revolution, with the express goal of leading US workers in the struggle against capitalism. Despite these intentions, the first years of its existence were plagued by sectarianism, infighting, and an obsession over the need for an underground organization. It was only through the intervention of the Communist International (Comintern) that the party was pushed to Americanize,” come out from the underground,” and focus on the struggles for Black liberation. This unique contribution documents the positive contribution of the Comintern in its early revolutionary years and its decline under Stalin.

Towards a Productive Aesthetics - Keith O'regan - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

In Towards a Productive Aesthetics: Contemporary and Historical Interventions in Blake and Brecht , Keith O''Regan mobilises a constellative approach to compare the political-aesthetic strategies of William Blake (1757-1827) and Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956). O''Regan traces two similar trajectories in each author''s work: an exploration of how capitalist domination defines conjunctures, and an investigation of how historical figures, themes, and terrains illustrate past failures or losses that can be cleaved open for radical possibilities in the present. Brecht and Blake posit an "oppositional aesthetics of the now" that articulates a theory of experience under capitalism, while counter-posing an oppositional form of existence.

Turkey: The Pendulum between Military Rule and Civilian Authoritarianism - Fath Aatay Cengz - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

Anxiety, Modern Society, and the Critical Method - Joel Michael Crombez - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

Anxiety, Modern Society, and the Critical Method interrogates the historical intersections of political economy, technology, and anxiety. By analyzing and building upon the tools developed by critical theorists to diagnose the symptoms of modern life—such as alienation, anomie, the Protestant ethic, and repression—Joel Michael Crombez convincingly argues for a revitalization of critical social science to better confront the anxiety of life in modern societies. While anxiety typically falls under the purview of psychology and its biomedical approach to treatment, here anxiety is situated within the totalizing logics of modern society. As such, Crombez provides a compelling, interdisciplinary roadmap to diagnose and treat anxiety—which he calls critical socioanalysis—that accounts for the psychosocial complexity of its production.

Austro-marxism: The Idealogy Of Unity Volume Ii - - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

From their controversial thinking on the National Question, to their reflections on the Bolshevik revolution, through their attempts to understand the collapse of their gains under fascist pressure, this volume illustrates the conceptual richness of the entire school of thought.

Shadow Government - Tom Engelhardt - Bog - Haymarket Books - Booktok.dk

In 1964, a book entitled The Invisible Government shocked Americans with its revelations of a growing world of intelligence agencies playing fast and loose around the planet, a secret government lodged inside the one they knew that even the president didn''t fully control. Almost half a century later, everything about that "invisible government" has grown vastly larger, more disturbing, and far more visible. In his new book, Tom Engelhardt takes in something new under the sun: what is no longer, as in the 1960s, a national security state, but a global security one, fighting secret wars that have turned the president into an assassin-in-chief. Shadow Government offers a powerful survey of a democracy of the wealthy that your grandparents wouldn''t have recognized.
