Borochovist "Revival"
by Moshé Machover

Borochovist ideology is at present being exhumed by the Zionist propaganda machine. A whole network of Zionist emissaries and functionaries are busy Printing Baire Borochov's works in several European languages, writing their own exegesis on these works and diligently spreading the rehashed gospel among young Jews throughout West Europe and the Americas.

Egyptian Jewry - why it declined
Ya'acoub Daoud Eskandarany
Published in 1978 in Khamsin 5 (which was the first issue in English)
In order to illustrate the particular problematic of Middle Eastern Jewries, we shall try to give a short historical outline of the Jews who lived in Egypt for 2,000 years, held important positions in the civil service, were rarely exposed to racial persecution and spoke the language of the people.
Their culture, customs and way of life were such that no problem of integration or participation in the revolutionary struggles of the Middle Eastern peoples ought to have arisen. Yet, in Egypt as elsewhere in the Mashreq, the Jewish population, with rare exceptions, has left the country.

Marx's Crisis Theory as a Theory of Class Struggle

Peter Bell and Harry Cleaver
The preface is available below, or the full article may be viewed as a PDF

Preface (2002)
Theories of crisis have always been intensely political. Different views of capitalist development and breakdown have always shaped, and been shaped by, political strategies. In the early and mid-1970s the onset of a crisis of Keynesian policy, and hence theory, brought on by an international cycle of working class struggle, led to a widespread preoccupation with "crisis theory" in both capitalist and anti-capitalist circles. While capitalist theorists struggled to find ways to restore control and accumulation, the Left gloated and said, once again, that it was all inevitable and dusted off a variety of old theories to prove it. This essay was written as the first chapter of a book intended as an intervention in the debates of those times.
