  • Price?

    Why is it $50 or $95 dollars? Wouldn't you want to allow the dissemination of such "weapons for the renewal of the left" to happen more easily than by limiting their availability to those who could pay that much for a single book?

  • Join me in bringing about changes to end this practice!

    I've started a Facebook group for anyone to join who is concerned about this practice and wants to contribute to a public discussion, and who wants to do something about it!

    I'm looking to start a not-for-profit clearinghouse to address this topic and welcome the input of anyone who's interested.

  • What to read on the revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East?

    We are all avidly following the progress of the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and beyond - combing the pages of the press, chasing down blog links, watching footage. But what recommendations would people make for a longer and more detailed view of the social, historical and economic context of the revolutions?

  • student protests in croatia

    there have been student mobilizations in croatia too for the past 2 years. little of that is known outside the country, of course. anyway, here's a statement of solidarity from croatian students with middlesex students from may 2010. just to give you some idea about the ideological thrust of it all, after two decades of first nationalist, then (neo)liberal hegemony:  http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/2010/middlesex110510.html

  • How does theology enlist the service of historical materialism? What is this service?

    I have a quote from Zizek I’m having a little trouble with. Its this one: Today, when the historical materialist analysis is receding, practiced
    as it were under cover, rarely called by its proper name, while the
    theological dimension is given a new lease on life in the guise of the
    “postsecular” Messianic turn of deconstruction, the time has come
    to reverse Walter Benjamin’s first thesis on the philosophy of history:
    “The puppet called ‘theology’ is to win all the time. It can easily be
    a match for anyone if it enlists the service of historical materialism,
    which today, as we know, is wizened and has to keep out of sight.” The trouble I’m having is with “if it enlists the service of historical materialism,” That is to say I dont understand in what way this service is enlisted, or for that matter, what it is. Can anyone help me?
