Draft for Marxist-Humanist Perspectives
Developing a
philosophically grounded alternative to capital
Marxist-Humanists this month view the world we live in—the rule of capital
and the revolts against it—and rethink the direction of News and Letters
Committees. We invite you to read, think, and comment on our perspectives, which
include:
I. Bush's Wars at Home and in Iraq
A. Fighting the Right's 'Vision' of the Future
B. The Economic Basis of Today's Retrogression
C. The War in Iraq: Quagmire for Bush, and the Left
II.
Challenges Posed by Today's Mass Movements
A. Ukraine's 'Orange Revolution'
B. Freedom Ferment in Latin America
III. Philosophic Challenges Posed by Today's Realities
IV. Towards New Beginnings in Marxist-Humanism
Woman as Reason
Our bodies are ours!
The depth of the retrogression we face is seen in how so many were thinking
the most we can demand is that Bush nominate an O'Connor clone.
From the Writings of Raya Dunayevskaya
Marxist-Humanism's
relation to Marx's Humanism
As part of our focus on the totality of Marx’s Marxism, we reprint excerpts
of a text from 1981 entitled "Marxist-Humanism’s Challenge to All Post-Marx
Marxists." Originally delivered as a talk at the 1981 convention of News and
Letters Committees, it appears as an Introduction to the 1991 edition of ROSA
LUXEMBURG, WOMEN'S LIBERATION, AND MARX'S PHILOSOPHY OF REVOLUTION.
Youth
Marx, Proudhon and
alternatives to capital
Marx’s critical dialogue with the work of the French anarchist thinker Pierre
Joseph Proudhon spanned several decades. While largely ignored in the present,
Marx’s critique of Proudhon remains of real import for all of us struggling to
break the hold of capital over our lives and our world.
