The final issue of Riff-Raff, a Swedish journal influenced by left communist and autonomist Marxist strains, published Spring 2022.
The central question in this issue is how we can understand communism in relation to Marx's categories abstract labour and value. Are these inseperable from the commodity form and capitalist society or will they, on the contrary, live on under the control of the associated producers? We publish both Swedish translations and original contributions on this theme that we have been working with off and on—mostly off—since no. 9. With this tenth issue we also put an end to the project that kicked off more than twenty years ago. However, we look forward to continue the discussion in other contexts.
