"We miss Asad greatly, and we remain inspired by him. We also take comfort in the knowledge that his life’s work – the search for truth, political and philosophical – will be carried on by so many others who were lucky enough to encounter him."

In the fall of 1984, when he was a new doctoral student at Harvard, Noel Ignatiev submitted an essay for an independent study. Entitled “Present Depths,” the paper surveyed the rapid and cataclysmic changes then taking place across US society.

Excellent interview with Ben Mabie & Salar Mohandesi about how imperialism has evolved since the time of Hobson, Luxemburg & Lenin, and why there is currently no significant anti-war movement in the US despite broad public opposition to the war on Iran. https://t.co/PMoZDOO9GZ
New Dig ep: Ben Mabie and Salar Mohandesi on what war on Iran tells us about US imperialism, and why US doesn’t have a massive anti-war movement even amid high anti-war public sentiment. We must make movements that can thrive and win under new conditions. https://t.co/ioOFFnLxaR
