The process is made by those who are made by the process.

@louismaximuss @endnotesjournal Afaik you're right, Van der Lubbe was not in the GIC — they were quite critical of his actions. I suspect Mattick just didn't have all the info at the time of writing.

So exciting to see a translation of this!!!

"Mattick truly believed that the emancipation of the working class must be the task of the workers themselves."

Very excited this is finally seeing the light of day! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on this!

We are happy to release the first part of our “Young Mattick” Dossier, including translations of Paul Mattick's short fiction and reports from 1924-1934. This dossier has 11 pieces in total, with a preface by Marie and an afterword by @totalcritique https://t.co/wFOmwSx93R

"The higher the hopes, the brighter the flash of possibility, the harder the comedown."

[Endnotes @endnotesjournal]

The rest of the issue consists of shorter reflections. First, A New Institute for Social Research (@totalcritique) describe the impact of the uprising on an ‘essential’ workplace and analyses the gendered divisions between 'party' and 'class'.

On the second anniversary of the #GeorgeFloyd protests we are publishing a special online issue, "That Summer Feeling", in which participants look back and draw the balance sheet of America's hot pandemic summer of 2020. https://t.co/0q7dEWzqa3

To commemorate the 2nd anniversary of the George Floyd uprising we will publish tomorrow a special online issue looking back at the uprising, with texts by Jarrod Shanahan, Shemon, A New Institute for Social Research, Curtis Price, and Idris Robinson

“The answer to the question of the purpose of the theory of value is quite different for the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The bourgeoisie asks about the prices of commodities, the proletariat about the organisation of society.”

After a long, long hiatus, we finally published a new thing.

"Schools train nasty, cowed, imbecilic scavengers to fight for scraps."

Enjoy!!

@mxwfx Alfred Schmidt's History & Structure!

Good article on Hegel as a critic of instrumental reason, countering the tendency to dismiss the Frankfurt school's concept as of purely Weberian origin

Mattick telling it like it is: "There is in fact only one resolution to the problem—more properly, the social system—of exploitation, racism, war, inequality, and public corruption that Israel shares with every other nation of sufficient weight: the no-state solution."

@kmunroutrgv Good find!! Relatedly, there's also this bit of Minima Moralia (if it counts as broadly CoPE-adjacent) where Adorno compares 'important themes' in philosophy to a dog intently pissing on a particular spot haha

[A New Institute for Social Research @totalcritique]

This rocks. Inevitable philosophical & terminological quibbles aside, of the best analyses we’ve read of last summer’s uprising, and the leftist quagmire it died in.

Unfortunately, though unsurprisingly, very true. Guérin's own underappreciated work, insisting that universal polymorphous-erotic liberation & the abolition of the gender binary are essential to communist revolution, remains a potent retort to the repressed & repressive left.

[A New Institute for Social Research @totalcritique]

@r_bellofiore Thanks for taking the time to answer on the rather awkward and unfortunate medium of twitter! Will do some more reading, and ready my hoard of gold.

[A New Institute for Social Research @totalcritique]

Absolutely correct. And such a reconstruction has to be able to, on the basis of value theory, account for *why* at a certain point in the trajectory of accumulation money ceased to be a commodity, & the profound structural crisis of the mode of production this shift represents.

@EconKilljoy Best vibes we got, coming your way!! ❤️
