  • Libertarian Marxism Mao-Spontex Open Marxism Popular Assembly Sovereign Citizen Movement Spontaneism Sui Iuris
    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.

  • Academic Freedom and Controversial Speech About Campus Governance — Rogers Brubaker
    Academic Freedom and Controversial Speech about Campus Governance — Rogers Brubaker — Rogers Brubaker is Professor of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles and UCLA Foundation Chair; Visiting Professor, CEU. Classical definitions of academic freedom focused on freedom of re- search and teaching. In the American context, the right of professors to speak freely as citizens outside the university has also been emphasized. But many recent controversies over academic freedom in the US—and I limit my comments to the US—have turned on speech inside the univer- sity yet outside the traditional domains of research and teaching. Research and teaching continue of course to be central to the defense of academic freedom in the face of external pressures, notably from private and public funders, government regulators, and the populist right. But I have been asked to address internal threats to academic freedom. And while some internal controversies have focused on the freedom of research and teaching, many have focused on other issues. The most widely discussed of these controversies have concerned invita- tions to controversial outside speakers. Public attention has focused on efforts by the campus left to “disinvite” or “de-platform” speakers such as Charles Murray at Middlebury and Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter 93 i6 AF - 00 Book.indb 93 2017.11.22. 9:01 at Berkeley. These widely publicized incidents have already generat- ed a substantial backlash: several conservative state legislatures have passed campus speech bills.1 The campus right has also sought to pre- vent or disrupt events involving controversial (especially pro-Palestinian) outside speakers. But there is another kind of internal academic freedom controversy that I would like to highlight.

  • Ideological Diversity Course UNDERGRAD
    Free Speech, Viewpoint Diversity, and Higher Education or Bigots and Snowflakes: Living in a World Where Everyone Else Is Wrong COURSE DESCRIPTION In this course, we will address questions surrounding viewpoint diversity. There are two foundational premises for the course. The first is that there is a lack of diversity along this dimension, particularly within the domain of higher education; recent survey data confirm this trend (goo.gl/ddnGEG). The second assertion is that this lack of diversity damages the mission of higher education (we will talk more about this in the first class). Inherent in the definition of viewpoint diversity is the principle that there is a spectrum of perspectives ranging, politically speaking, from staunchly conservative on one end to radically progressive on the other – and that the voicing of perspectives falling along that spectrum should be without social penalty. *Because the tilt in our current context on campus leans left and the material in the course will often refer to the absence and dismissal of opinions that deviate from an orthodoxy, omitted viewpoints often — though not without exception — coincide with non-left views or leftist views that simply ask uncomfortable questions. Using our two assertions as a starting point, we examine issues that students may consider relevant for their academic studies in the social sciences and on campus more broadly. The overarching goal of the course is to introduce students to concepts that will teach them the importance of examining multiple perspectives dispassionately and to think critically in all aspects of their education. Invariably, it is the case that, to cover this material, we will delve into topics and listen to speakers that some will find distasteful or even abhorrent, particularly — although not exclusively — in the fourth section (described below).

  • Evolutionary Psychology As a Unifying Framework and Meta-Theory
    Part V | Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Ultimate explanations: Evolutionary psychology as a unifying framework and meta-theory The term ‘evolutionary psychology’ (EP) was coined during “lengthy and intensive debates about how to apply evolution to behavior” (Tooby & Cosmides, 2005, p. 15) between Martin Daly, Margo Wilson, Don Symons, John Tooby, Leda Cosmides, and David Buss in the 1980s. It is a relatively young and developing way of thinking in psychology that can serve as a meta-theoretical framework, as it builds directly on the foundations of biology. More spe- cifically, EP is based on the only scientific explanation for the complexity of earthly life forms, namely evolution by natural selection. In the scientific community, it is largely ac- knowledged that humans are a product of evolution by natural selection too. We are mammals belonging to the branch of the tree of life called primates and our closest living relatives are the chimpanzees and bonobos, with whom we share a common ancestor that lived some 6 to 7 million years ago. Though such long time spans are beyond our ‘natural’ capacity to comprehend, consider this: the process of evolving from a light-sensitive cell to a human eye can happen in fewer than 400,000 years (Nilsson & Pelger, 1994). Researchers named our species homo sapiens and contemporary researchers have deter- mined our ‘start date’ to be at least 300,000 years ago, based on new homo sapiens findings in Morocco (Hublin et al., 2017). ‘Start date’ is a bit of a misleading term, as there is of course no ‘sudden appearance,’ but a very slow, invisible, and gradual change.

  • The Vanguards of Free Thought and Reason
    The Vanguards of Free Thought and Reason Shôn Ellerton, January 17, 2021 My thoughts and views of some of my favourite podcasters who have given so much to fill the void which mainstream media ignores. Ever since I was a child, I had a fascination with books. I wanted my own library; one of those stale musty antiquated rooms with leather-bound furniture complete with a little spiral staircase to access tiers and tiers of books, most of which, I would never be able to read in a lifetime. But alas, I do not have such a room; however, I do have a sizeable collection of books, most of which, I confess, I have not read. My collection of books mainly consists, what many would consider, to be on the heavy side of reading. Works by Dante Alighieri, Ayn Rand, Edgar Allan Poe, Friedrich Nietzsche, Franz Kafka, and many others adorn my shelves along with a scattering of science fiction from the likes of Isaac Asimov and H.P. Lovecraft and a few light-hearted books from Bill Bryson and Jeremy Clarkson. Whether fiction or non-fiction, I have learnt so much from reading, particularly that of ethics and how to think rationally and critically. At least, to the best of my abilities because there is always room for improvement! We now live in a world of one-liner tweets and pointless meme posts on social media, and I fear that our modern generation is being deprived of self-agency to free thought and wisdom, both attributes which may be obtained through the written and spoken learnings through others in full context.

  • The Intellectual Dark Web? You Have to Be Kidding Me by Miles Mathis
    The Intellectual Dark Web? You have to be kidding me by Miles Mathis First published July 10, 2021 Tucker Carlson had Bret Weinstein on his special edition last night, so I looked him up. He is supposed to be part of the “intellectual dark web”. You have to laugh. I am sure a Weinstein is going to be part of an intellectual dark web, telling hard truths in the face of huge pressure. Funny, since it is the second time in a week I have seen that term “intellectual dark web”. It was also applied to Lindsay Shepherd, the alleged Ontario graduate student who allegedly assigned a Jordan Peterson video to her class and was dressed down for it. She ended up becoming semi-famous for that one thing. At that last link, also notice the name of the author of the article promoting her: Tennant. I could tell just at a glance that Shepherd was planted in this story by Intelligence for her looks—which are admittedly smashing. Because nothing else about that story rings true. The same goes for the Bret Weinstein story, which is that his small fame came from being attacked by students at Evergreen State College, where he taught. That by itself is enough to out him, since I have previously outed Evergreen as one the top ten premier CIA-front colleges. They all are now, but these small colleges like Evergreen are wholly owned subsidiaries of Intel. Absolutely everyone on campus is a spook, down to the cleaning and gardening staff. You begin to understand how I could read this whole project just from the names.
