"The production of ideas, of conceptions, of consciousness, is at first directly interwoven with the material activity and the material intercourse of [human beings], the language of real life." Marx on the mind after seeing @BootsRiley's mind-blowing @iloveboostersmv. Go see it!

[American Worker @AmericanWork47]

New book days are the best days, especially when its the new issue of @longhaul_mag. Excited to read an early piece by Noel Ignatiev and the editoral addressing it, among other fine articles.

[Karl Marx @marxhaunting]

My dialectic method is not only different from the Hegelian, but is its direct opposite.

[Verso Books @VersoBooks]

“The political task of today is building a level of working class self organisation where people feel confident enough that they can change the way their workplace is ran.”
