«Gramsci & Hegemony»: Peter D Thomas
Gramsci & Hegemony | Peter D Thomas | Counterforum | London | 3 May 2010«Credit Crunch: origins and orientation»: Paul Cockshott and Dave Zachariah
1. Introduction
The cyclical pattern of capitalism is periodically punctuated by severe crises that lead to restructuring of the political-economic system. In this article we argue that the underlying factor of the current crisis is a real economic imbalance caused by an unprecedented growth of the nancial sector. Moreover, we argue that a return to an expansive era of capital accumulation will become impossible in the advanced countries.
Each structural crisis opens opportunities for signicantly advancing the position of the working-class. But it requires a socialist movement with the organisational and programmatic capacity to articulate and implement progressive policies. This is not the state of the movement at present. We believe that without a political economy of the working-class it is impossible to formulate a coherent political program of the working-class.
«Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’, Karl Marx, and the Second American Revolution»: Kevin B. Anderson
Summary: The film “Lincoln” shows the radicalization that had taken place in Civil War America by January 1865, with the Lincoln administration allying itself with the Radical Republicans to end slavery. At the same time, this Hollywood epic ignores both the economic/class dimensions and the warm exchange of letters between Marx’s First International and the Lincoln administration during the very same weeks that are the subject of the film — Editors
Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln” zeroes in on a single, crucial month of the U.S. Civil War, a conflict that amounted to a second American revolution. In January 1865, as the Union victory over the Confederacy is just months away, President Abraham Lincoln decides to push through the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S Constitution, abolishing slavery unconditionally and without compensation to the slaveowners. This is a far different Lincoln than the candidate of 1860, who refused to campaign as an abolitionist, or the president who delayed issuing the Emancipation Proclamation until almost the third year of the Civil War, in 1863. It is a Lincoln who has grown with the times, whose armies now include 200,000 Black troops, and whose speeches are beginning to hint at citizenship and voting rights for the former slaves.

«Finance, crisis and the left alternatives»: Alfredo Saad-Filho
Alfredo Saad-Filho, Dept. Head of Development studies at the University of London, England, says that we have a situation of malfunction, but there is not the political will to replace capitalism. In his recent talk in Vancouver, He says that he wants to see people claim the right to a different future. He says it is inconceivable that people will accept all the inequalities, the difficulties, the crisis and the waste that we have today. He also says that there is more than enough to satisfy everyone needs globally: Today there is no need or reason why people starve in different parts of the world (October-2010)

«Comunismo y religión: La mística revolucionaria de José Carlos Mariátegui»: Michael Löwy
Acerca de la religión, como acerca de otros tantos temas, Mariátegui es un heterodoxo.Tradicionalmente, se entiende el comunismo moderno como un movimiento ateo, secular y profano, activamente opuesto a la religión, como a toda forma de “idealismo”. El pensamiento de José Carlos Mariátegui, uno des los principales fundadores del comunismo latinoamericano, tiene muy poco en común con esta imagen convencional. Acerca de la religión, como acerca de otros tantos temas, Mariátegui es un heterodoxo. En el corazón de su heterodoxia marxista, de la singularidad de su discurso filosófico y político, se encuentra un momento irreductiblemente romántico.

Nota introductoria del autor a la segunda edición
Mario Duayer foi um dos tradutores dos Grundrisse de Marx direto do original em alemão para o português, agora publicado pela editora Boitempo. Como parte do lançamento do livro, Duayer foi convidado a discutir esta importante obra escrita entre os anos de 1857 e 1858, mas que veio a público somente no século XX. Entre os temas discutidos, Duayer colocou especial ênfase na subordinação, no pensamento de Marx nos Grundrisse, da exploração ao estranhamento social. Exploramos uns aos outros porque em primeiro lugar nos estranhamos socialmente. É a alienação como sociabilidade que permite a existência da exploração. A ontologia de Marx, portanto, não é somente uma ode ao fim da exploração, mas propriamente ao fim do estranhamento ou da alienação, ou do outro que me é externo e indiferente. Duayer aproveita também para comentar o relativismo ontológico de Thomas Khun sobre a co-existência de diferentes paradigmas, e mostra como as ideias de Marx, Lúckacs, Roy Bhaskar e Moishe Postone oferecem uma visão que contrasta com os recentes avanços de epistemologias pós-modernas.
