Oh boy if there is one thing I hate it's being forced to look at
exegesis in a Marxist tradition. If you want to construct a glossary
of terms that is accessible, I suggest, among other things:
1. Keep it as short as possible (each entry).
2. Look at concepts and uses of the terms prior to Marx, i

>>3. Look at concepts and uses of the term derived from Marxist
traditions but not considered 'Marxist'<<
I should add that I don't mean the traditions I list are derived from
Marx but rather they import terms and concepts from Marx and Marxism.
Influence is a lot more than the importati
All of which, I should add, is not to deny the distinctiveness of
Italian autonism and Negri's attempts to give an intellectual voice to
it. Zizek's observation about how fascism displaces class antagonism
(at least temporarily) is NOT ORIGINAL, by the way. This first quote
is Zizek writing for a '
I was looking at this new introduction to a re-publication of the
Guattari & Negri work (pre-Empire, pre-Hardt),
Communists Like Us.
It's hard to get primary sources for Guattari in English on the
internet. When he exists, it is as 'Deleuze-Guattari'. I doubt if most

To Socialism! How?
By Daniel Rubin
How do we go from where we are to socialism? Not an easy question and
there is more than one contradictory approach on the left and even in
and around our Party. There is much in Marxist theory and methodology

I don't know which is worse, this CPUSA bullshit or the postmodern
