"I reckon Marx still has a lot to say, and I hope I’ve helped him say it yet again."
While i am at it, an interview with Jawaharlal Nehru University Professor Jayati Ghosh, which raises some questions on Marxismhttp://www.truth-out.org/news/item/44324-may-day-2018-a-rising-tide-of-worker-militancy-and-creative-uses-of-marx
Quote:the conversion of Marxist writing into a "canon" around which there have been endless often very esoteric (though no less passionate) debates about precise meanings of terms. In the English-speaking world, such hair-splitting has been all the more bizarre because the arguments were based on English translations from the German original, which was itself often prone to multiple interpretations. This overly scholastic approach made the ideas very rigid and therefore less interesting.Needless to say he is not on our wave-length
Quote:Nation-states must also be the bulwark of the fight against imperialism, which remains as strong as ever despite its predicted demise. Nation-states allowed, enabled and drove neoliberal globalization, and gave greater power especially to large capital; nation-states must be used to claw back the rights of people, and be made more democratic and accountable to the citizenry. Workers of the world (of all kinds: paid and unpaid, recognized and unrecognized) must still unite, but they must first unite within the spaces (the nations) within which they can hope to achieve their rights. The basis for proletarian internationalism therefore has to be progressive and democratic nationalism.alanjjohnstone wrote:https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/may/01/communist-manifesto-graphic-novel-martin-rowson-marx-filth-fury-gags"I reckon Marx still has a lot to say, and I hope I’ve helped him say it yet again."Also here: http://pdfs.morningstaronline.co.uk/assets/MS_2018_05_05.pdfNeed to scroll to near the bottom.
