Articles about Marxism, and key Marxist texts.
Situationists - an introduction
A short introduction to the ideas of the Situationists. Based in France, their strand of libertarian Marxism became popular after the mass strikes of 1968.
Situationist ideas came from the European organisation the Situationist International, formed in 1957. While it lasted only 15 years, its ideas were deeply influential, and have been a part of Western society - and radical movements - ever since.

Time, Work and Industrial Capitalism
Coming from a Marxist viewpoint here Thompson argues that observance of clock-time is a consequence of the European industrial revolution, and that neither industrial capitalism nor the creation of the modern state would have been possible without the imposition of synchronic forms of time and work discipline.
On General Intellect - Paulo Virno
Virno discusses Marx’s undeveloped concept of the ‘general intellect’, an idea that has become central to many autonomist readings of Marx seeking to understand ‘post-fordist’ (i.e. post industrial) capitalism (2,000 words).
