From the commodity to communism - Peter Åström

The present article, taking the commodity form as its point of departure, is an attempt to summarise important parts of Marx's analysis of capital so as to answer: what is value; what does the abolition of capital imply; and how can a communist reorganisation of social reproduction be envisaged?

Periyar’s Political Atheism

The fight between New Atheism and religious extremism is futile, for both are rigid in their outlooks and blind to social injustices. Political…

What does a local group do?

Our local No War But the Class War meeting in Newcastle decided to talk about what a local group should do, and read an old article called "What does the communist left do?" to kick off conversation.

Introduction to two fragments on value

Below are two texts by Marx not before translated into Swedish. The first one, with the title “Value” is from the Grundrisse (1857–8), interestingly taken from the very end of these Manuscripts. It consists of a first and, as will be seen, unfinished sketch of how the editions to follow of Marx's great critique of political economy, with some minor revisions in the different editions (of 1859, 1867, and 1872) came…

Introduction

This tenth and final issue of the Swedish journal riff-raff is being published eleven years after the last one. A fact that may provoke laughter among all the cynics, greedy for cold comfort, who populate the tiny, parliamentary-orientated extra-parliamentary Swedish left. A fact that we neither can nor want to do anything about.

One step forward, but just as far from the goal - Peter Åström

There is one big problem in Xavier Girrard's text and that is the very point of departure, for if it is impossible to balance two symmetrically opposed errors, as Dauvé himself notes, it will certainly be less possible to successfully overcome a problematic which doesn't even exist.
