    On the significance of the polemical in Marxism

    Originally published: Beyond Capital (blog) on November 8, 2020 (more by Beyond Capital (blog))

    A polemic for revolutionaries is a militant dialogic practice to reveal the contradictions of a position, hammering it down to break open its hardened crust in order to rescue life from the stifle of the canon.

  • Engels’ “theoretical moment”?

    Originally published: Beyond Capital (blog) on November 19, 2017 (more by Beyond Capital (blog))

    In Marx and Engels’ Collected Works volume 47, I found a very interesting letter written by Engels to August Bebel. It was written about a month and half after Marx’s death, April 30 1883.

  • Anti-Maoism, McCarthyism, and the Indian State

    Pratyush Chandra

    Being the only “policeman” who “has ever risen to so much influence in India,” Indian National Security Adviser MK Narayanan seldom minces words in revealing the designs of the Indian State for “national security.”  He recently pronounced the focus of the state’s strategy against leftist militancy in the country.  In an interview with the Straits […]

    Pratyush Chandra

    Any serious and honest survey of the Maoist movement would convey the truth that its main agenda has been to establish essential democratic institutions that devolve political and economic power to the masses.   In every negotiation with the King and the parliamentary forces, the Maoists have asked for an unconditional constituent assembly, during whose election […]

Monthly Review Essays

  • Gendered Violence as an Inextricable Thread of Capitalism
    Maja Solar Graffiti in Mexico City, 2011. It reads: No Mas Feminicidios (No more murder of women).

    The gendered forms of violence in capitalist-patriarchal societies are, obviously, related to what is habitually recognized as violence against women.

  • The Puzzle of Financialization
    Harry Magdoff Monthly Review Volume 45, Number 5 (October 1993)

    In this reprise from October 1993, Henry Magdoff and Paul Sweezy ask: “Isn’t there anyone around here who understands how this capitalist system works?”
