  • The Class Struggle in United States
    The Class Struggle in United States By Pavlito Geshos (nom d’plume) The objective conditions for a working class upsurge in the United States are ‘over-ripe’. By this I mean that, over the last twenty years, ‘objectively’, the workers have suffered under oppressive working conditions, extreme loss of jobs, wage cuts and denial of job rights by their employers. There has also been a systematic and deliberate failure to protect workers rights by the government agencies that are designed to defend workers rights. This means that the legal rights to organize unions or to demand safe and healthy working-conditions, are not being protected by the United States government. Those union leaders that are allowed to hold power in the United States are, in general, class collaborationists. These union leaders hold their power by making deals with or giving concessions to the capitalist class and capitalist state. Under the class-collaborationist leadership of the American labor unions, American workers have been led down the path of ‘least resistance’. Workers have tried every other option except struggle on a massive scale. Each labor contract, over the last twenty years, has involved concessions to corporate management on some level (loss of wages, benefits, jobs or job rights). Those union leaders who do fight for their members are put under a news media slander attack and/or under legal attack by the capitalist state. Effective ‘class struggle’ union leaders have been driven out of power. An example of this is the great Teamsters strike against United Parcel Service, which shut down a major sector of the parcel delivery industry in 1999.

  • Class, Wealth, and Power
    Who Really Rules the United States? Class, Wealth, and Power Folks: For most of you, this will be a fairly long (three-part) reading. From the perspective of studying for the test, the first two parts are for the most part straightforward. About the third part (comprises two sections), which is choke full of statistics: so, how would you go about studying this material for this class? To begin with, I am not interested in how well you can memorize statistical data in this part of the reading. What I would like you to do, instead, is to figure out the main points Professor William Domhoff is making concerning the distribution of wealth, income, and power in this country on the basis of the statistical data he presents. I also want you to study the graphs and tables. What do they tell us? The fundamental issue in this reading is not that all wealth and income inequality can ever be eliminated in a capitalist society (even if one wanted to for reasons of social justice), but rather how the wealthy and the powerful unfairly bend the rules of the game—involving the perpetration of class warfare on the masses (the working/middle classes)—to produce an ever-widening gap in wealth and income that in the long run hurts the objective interests of everyone (including the wealthy themselves—most ironically) from the perspectives of both procedural democracy and authentic democracy. In Part Three, Section II of this document, I want you to accord special attention to the relationship between class and race in this country, and the pernicious role of those who I call pseudo-intellectuals (the “mercenaries” of the capitalist class).

In the pop u lar press and in the writings of many economists, Keynes featured promi- nently as governments around the world urgently sought ways to avoid economic collapse. In the United States, the New York Times contained articles titled “What would Keynes have done?” (October 28, 2008), “The old economist, relevant amid the rub- ble” (September 18, 2009), and “An old master back in fashion” (November 1, 2009).

  • Middle School History & Politics Society July 2020
    MIDDLE SCHOOL HISTORY & POLITICS SOCIETY JULY 2020 PUBLICATION 1 Counter Arguments To Capitalism By Johnnie Willis-Bund In the following article I will not be directly attacking capitalism, however I will instead addressing arguments often made in capitalism’s favour (and hopefully showing that they hold very little water). I hope you find them interesting, and perhaps change your mind about the economic system you live under. The first and most common argument for capitalism is also, I find, one of the weakest. It starts of, as most capitalist arguments do. “Oh sure, communism’s a nice idea, BUT…” and then goes on like, “no one would have any incentive to work. The free market means your actions have consequences so you have to work hard.” This is a perversion of the truth. It’s the reverse of the truth. In fact, under capitalism, people have less of an incentive to work, because their labour is alienated. This means, because the means of production are privately owned (and not by the workers who actually use them) the work you do nd the profits of your labour get stolen by your boss. The very concept of profit itself depends on the fact that the labourers are underpaid. Don’t you think that this alienation may disincentivize workers and that they would be more inclined to work hard if they were able to claim the values of their own labour (by owning the means of production). What capitalism does is exploits people into doing work for other people and never receiving the value of their labours because they have been coerced into becoming another cog in the machine of surplus value theft because they would starve otherwise.

  • Yanis Varoufakis: How I Became an Erratic Marxist
    Is Marx Still Relevant Today? Folks/Guys/People: the dramatic failure of what I call “totalitarian bureaucratic socialism” all across the planet (leaving aside for the moment the obvious example of the collapse of the former Soviet empire, compare for instance the development trajectories of North Korea and South Korea so far where the former is nothing more than a kleptocratic totalitarian hereditary dictatorship buttressed by pseudo- Marxist propaganda, while the latter is a thriving capitalist democracy), has provoked a triumphalist crowing by the right wing everywhere about the supposed superiority of corporate capitalism—when compared to any other economic system known to date—in guaranteeing socio-economic and political salvation for all humankind. This is nowhere more so than in United States (despite the presence of deep and widespread systemic contradictions, which, however, neither the bourgeoisie nor the masses are willing to acknowledge having long ago, to put it somewhat unkindly, exchanged their critical faculties in pursuit of hedonistic materialist consumerism). My question to you, however, is that does this automatically translate into the irrelevance of the ideas of the one person who understood the inherent limitations of capitalism as a liberatory force, Karl Marx? In other words, is the class struggle really over in capitalist countries today? This essay, published in the British newspaper, The Guardian, authored by an economics professor and Marxist, who once served as the finance minister in the Greek government led by the leftwing party called Syriza, provides an answer to this question—albeit from his perspective. Regardless of whether your inclination is toward liberalism or conservatism, please read, digest, ponder, and be prepared to be tested on this reading.

  • Anarchist Economic Practices in a 'Capitalist' Society
    the author(s) 2014 ISSN 1473-2866 (Online) ISSN 2052-1499 (Print) www.ephemerajournal.org volume 14(4): 951-975 Anarchist economic practices in a ‘capitalist’ society: Some implications for organisation and the future of work Richard J. White and Colin C. Williams Adopting an ‘anarchist squint’ (Scott, 2014: xii) this paper aims to expose, subvert, and undermine the dominant prima facie assumption that we live under a ‘neoliberal capitalist’ order. It achieves this primarily by drawing attention to the pervasive nature of alternative economic modes of human organisation within western society. Celebrating an ontology of economic difference, the paper argues that many of the existing ‘alternative’ modes of human organisation enacted through everyday material, social and emotional coping strategies are demonstrably and recognisably anarchistic. Far from being a residual and marginal realm, these anarchist forms of organisation – underpinned by mutual aid, reciprocity, co-operation, collaboration and inclusion – are found to be deeply woven into the fabric of everyday ‘capitalist’ life. Exploring the key implications for the organisation of everyday work, particularly at the household and community level, an economic future is envisaged in which anarchist modes of organisation flourish. The paper concludes by discussing why anarchist forms of organising and organisation should be harnessed, and how this might occur. Political, economic and social institutions are crumbling; the social structure, having become uninhabitable, is hindering, even preventing the development of the seeds which are being propagated within its damaged walls and being brought forth around them. The need for a new life becomes apparent. (Kropotkin, 2002b) An anarchist society, which organises itself without authority, is always in existence, like a seed beneath the snow, buried under the weight of the state and its bureaucracy, capitalism and its waste, privilege and its injustices, nationalism and its suicidal loyalties, relations differences and their superstitious separatism.

  • Marx for a Postcommunist Era: on Poverty, Corruption, and Banality Does Not Doomsay
    MARX FOR A POSTCOMMUNIST ERA When the Iron Curtain collapsed, capitalism reigned triumphant and the ‘end of history’ was declared. However, peace and prosperity have been short-lived. In recent years, anti-globalization protests have returned viol- ence to the streets, nations have been ravaged by ethnic genocide, and fundamentalist radicals have intensified their war with the West. In this uncertain climate, Marx for a Postcommunist Era: On Poverty, Corruption, and Banality does not doomsay. It does, however, seriously question the ability of market forces to deliver the greatest good to the greatest number. It rejects the class hatred and social engineering that has discredited Marxism in the past and it does argue that Marx’s emphasis on social equity, real democracy, and human capital still forcefully resonates in the modern day. After reviewing Marx’s philosophical roots and his twentieth-century re- ception, Sullivan applies Marx’s ideas to three major phenomena—poverty, corruption, and banality—that remain obstacles to freedom in the twenty- first century. Drawing on the 2000 US presidential elections, Russian tax evasion, the mixed success of privatization, the ascent of Hollywood and Silicon Valley, and our fascination with fake theme bars, ethno-chic fashion, and the retro trend in design, Sullivan also highlights the breadth of Marx’s legacy both inside and outside the academic world. Marx for a Postcommunist Era combines a deep understanding of Marxist thought with journalistic engagement in real-world themes. This compre- hensive and timely book will be of interest to students and academics in the areas of philosophy, sociology, politics, and cultural studies, and to anyone with an interest in Marx and his legacy.

  • “The Two Movements in Economic Thought, 1700–2000: Empty Economic Boxes Revisited”
    Incomplete draft of June 27, 2016 “The Two Movements in Economic Thought, 1700–2000: Empty Economic Boxes Revisited” Deirdre Nansen McCloskey1 My theme is of a Rise and a Fall of understanding, arising from a failure to measure one’s understanding. Down to 1848 the new field of political economy was gradually coming to understand the system of market-tested betterment (lamentably called by its enemies “capitalism”). After 1848, however, more and more of the economists, as they increasingly called themselves, came gradually to misunderstand it. Indeed, the political left and the middle came to treat the theories of market-tested betterment with angry contempt, such as Thorstein Veblen’s blast against English economics, with its allegedly necessary assumption of the “hedonistic conception of man . of a lightning calculator of pleasures and pains, who oscillates like a homogeneous globule of desire of happiness under the impulse of stimuli.”2 “Imperfections” in the market took center stage in economics, and the understanding that had developed during the Rise was at best forgotten, or at worst condemned as “capitalist” propaganda, so obviously false that no actual evidence for its falsity needed to be offered. The trouble we have had with the Fall after 1848 is that seldom or never have the alleged imperfections in market-tested betterment been subject to measurement. That is my main point: that the Fall has not been justified scientifically. From the point of view of the sciences that depend on measurement, such as geology or history, the course of economic science is strange indeed. The crux in the sad story of a retreat from understanding after 1848 was an ill-chosen piece of rhetoric, the locution “perfect competition.” “Perfect” competition came to be seen by the left and then by the center as a unicorn.
