    Autonomist Marxist Theory and Practice in the Current Crisis Brian Marks1 University of Arizona School of Geography and Development [email protected] Abstract Autonomist Marxism is a political tendency premised on the autonomy of the proletariat. Working class autonomy is manifested in the self-activity of the working class independent of formal organizations and representations, the multiplicity of forms that struggles take, and the role of class composition in shaping the overall balance of power in capitalist societies, not least in the relationship of class struggles to the character of capitalist crises. Class composition analysis is applied here to narrate the recent history of capitalism leading up to the current crisis, giving particular attention to China and the United States. A global wave of struggles in the mid-2000s was constituitive of the kinds of working class responses to the crisis that unfolded in 2008-10. The circulation of those struggles and resultant trends of recomposition and/or decomposition are argued to be important factors in the balance of political forces across the varied geography of the present crisis. The whirlwind of crises and the autonomist perspective The whirlwind of crises (Marks, 2010) that swept the world in 2008, financial panic upon food crisis upon energy shock upon inflationary spiral, receded temporarily only to surge forward again, leaving us in a turbulent world, full of possibility and peril.

  • Class Wargames Class Class Wargames Ludic Ludic Subversion Against Spectacular Capitalism
    class wargames Class Wargames ludic Ludic subversion against spectacular capitalism subversion Why should radicals be interested in playing wargames? Surely the Left can have no interest in such militarist fantasies? Yet, Guy Debord – the leader of the Situationist International – placed such importance on his class invention of The Game of War that he described it as the most significant of against his accomplishments. wargames Intrigued by this claim, a multinational group of artists, activists and spectacular academics formed Class Wargames to investigate the political and strategic lessons that could be learnt from playing his ludic experiment. While the ideas of the Situationists continue to be highly influential in the development of subversive art and politics, relatively little attention has been paid to their strategic orientation. Determined to correct this deficiency, Class Wargames is committed to exploring how Debord used the capitalism metaphor of the Napoleonic battlefield to propagate a Situationist analysis of modern society. Inspired by his example, its members have also hacked other military simulations: H.G. Wells’ Little Wars; Chris Peers’ Reds versus Reds and Richard Borg’s Commands & Colors. Playing wargames is not a diversion from politics: it is the training ground of tomorrow’s cybernetic communist insurgents. Fusing together historical research on avant-garde artists, political revolutionaries and military theorists with narratives of five years of public performances, Class Wargames provides a strategic and tactical manual for overthrowing the economic, political and ideological hierarchies of early- 21st century neoliberal capitalism. The knowledge required to create a truly human civilisation is there to be discovered on the game board! richard ludic subversion against barbrook spectacular capitalism Minor Compositions An imprint of Autonomedia Front cover painting: Kimathi Donkor, Toussaint L’Ouverture at Bedourete (2004).

As employers use the financial crisis to make layoffs, attacked pensions, pay, and working conditions, an increasing number of workers are beginning to resist. As we go to press, hundreds of workers sacked with no notice or redundancy pay are occupying Visteon car part plants in London and Belfast to demand treatment in line with their contracts with Ford. Workers at the Prisme plant in Dundee have been occupying their workplace for weeks, demanding redundancy pay. This booklet reproduces accounts and analysis, some very short, some very detailed, of some workplace occupations by other groups of workers in the UK and elsewhere over the past 40 years. We hope that the experiences and lessons gained by workers in the past can be a small contribution to help inform and inspire our fellow workers today.

  • An Account of My Involvement with Solidarity - Bob Potter
    An account of my involvement with Solidarity - Bob Potter Bob Potter's previously unpublished 2004 recollections of his involvement in the libertarian socialist group Solidarity in the 1960s and 70s and some of its key figures like Ken Weller and Chris and Jeanne Pallis. Beginnings I’m a third generation Australian. I’m not quite sure how it happened – I came from a middle- class conservative family – but by the time I was about thirteen I had developed an incredible hatred of religion. Essentially, this hostility was against the smugness, perceived ignorance and irrationality of the ‘God worshippers’. I would have been 14 years old when I stumbled across Charles Bradlaugh’s A Plea for Atheism in the Adelaide Public Library and spent two Saturday afternoons transcribing the book (fortunately a smallish edition in the Thinkers Library). From there I moved onto Joseph McCabe and Bertrand Russell. Aged 16yrs, I enrolled at Royal Military College, Duntroon (English equivalent is Sandhurst, although Duntroon is modeled on America’s West Point!). On leave in Melbourne, I stumbled on a Communist Party bookshop and was attracted to an‘anti-religious’ pamphlet written by Marcel Cachin. I bought it, along with a copy of the Communist Manifesto. Back at College, in Canberra, I made contacts with the Australian Communist Party. I was interested to have discussions, remember looking at Lenin’s State and Revolution, but remained too critical (for all the wrong reasons!) to ever consider joining. Half-way through the four-year course, I was expelled as a ‘fellow traveler’ due to my naively declared opposition to the Korean War, which had just begun with Australia’s early and eager participation (I say naively – I was genuinely shocked at my expulsion; after all, Australia was a ‘democracy’, citizens were entitled to their own opinions, surely?!) All this is very relevant for understanding my subsequent fervid commitment to Stalinism; tied up with personal history, the inevitable break with family (my Dad a staff officer in the army).

Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Fall, 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Celia Alice Easton Koehler for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Geography to be taken October, 2016 “Sentires”: Looking Towards the Social Processes in Spanish Okupas for Strategies of Neighborhood Cohesion and Re-direction of Development. Approved: _______________________________________ Shaul Cohen Abstract: As a result of the logics of neo-liberal, global capitalism, urban citizens across the world face the regulation, commodification, and enclosure of public space. City governance responds to global financial pressures through “creative city” strategies and cuts to public services. This thesis looks at CSOA’s (Centros Sociales Okupados Autogrestionados, or Squatted Social Centers) in Spain and argues that they can be instigators of concrete neighborhood cohesion in a way that not only protests and combats the forces of neo-liberal development, but also proposes new forms of understanding and existing in urbanscapes. I do this through looking at CSOA’s as “counterspaces”; taking into account Lefebvre’s spatial triad, and using anarchist pedagogy as a lens, where experimental practices and then discourses are formed through and by horizontal “assemblies” and consensus based forms of decision making and look at how these processes incise and influence more formal or mainstream political institutions. Second, I utilize thick description to share an experience of the collectively organized transfeminist festival, Transfemifest, hosted at CSOA La Redonda in Granada Spain May 5-8 2016, as an example of how these spaces open up possibilities for the production of alternative knowledge.
