Una vez superado el clima de antimarxismo dominante en los años ochenta y noventa, el Marx del siglo XXI quedó liberado de la pesada hipoteca de ser el "padre" de los comunismos reales del siglo XX. De los escombros del Muro de Berlín surgió un Marx capaz de ofrecer claves válidas para entender el mundo globalizado por fuera de las interpretaciones canónicas de un partido o una ideología. Más cerca en el tiempo, el estallido financiero de...

El mito de Lawrence de Arabia, o El Orenz, ha dado a la historia un personaje de novela, casi descomunal. Son innumerables los estudios literarios, psicológicos e históricos sobre su figura y sus escritos, sin olvidar la superproducción rodada por David Lean en 1962 inspirada en el famoso "diario" árabe. Pero su teoría bélica, sintetizada en la Enciclopedia Británica bajo la voz Guerrilla en 1929 (y anticipada la década anterior en Los siete...

In eleven incisive, biting essays, Marxist philosopher Darko Suvin suggests that "capitalism (and all of us in Leviathan's belly) stands today in the presence of Yeats's rough beast advancing toward Bethlehem, that finance capitalism is not simply a stage but a recurrent 'Autumn' signal of transition from one world regime of accumulation and domination to another; it signals the destruction of the old regime and creation of a 'new' one." And to bolster...

It began over 75 years ago, in 1944long before the last shots of the Second World War had echoed across the wastelands of Eastern Europe - with the brutal Greek Civil War.

El mejor homenaje a George Orwell, un referente del pensamiento antitotalitario del siglo XX- es revisar su 'Rebelión en la granja'. Miquel Porta Perales se atreve. Hoy, en el marco mental del populismo rampante y la izquierda indignada dominantes, ¿por qué no pasar de la rebelión a la sumisión?
Algunos de ellos se alzan de nuevo contra la dominación. Igual que sus homólogos originales. Aunque con otras armas y objetivos. Cualquier parecido...

¿Qué fantasma recorre hoy Europa? No es desde luego el comunismo -ese "fantasma" del que hablaran Marx y Engels en 1848-, sino el capitalismo neoliberal y sus expectativas plenas de desolación y de ruina el que, de hecho, recorre hoy Europa y el mundo entero.
¿Cómo ha conseguido el capitalismo volver invisible su auténtica infraestructura de explotación, permeando de tal modo nuestro inconsciente y hasta nuestra piel? ¿Cómo es que hablamos...

In the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 Marx explains how, under capitalism, people rely on labor to live. In the past people could rely on Nature itself for their natural needs; in modern society, if one wants to eat, one must work: it is only through money that one may survive. Thus, man becomes a slave to his wages. It is only through his work that he can find enough money to continue to live; but he doesn't simply live, he actually...

Marx's 'Das Kapital' cannot be put into a box marked "economics." It is a work of politics, history, economics, philosophy and even in places, literature (yes Marx's style is that rich and evocative). Marx's 'Das Kapital' For Beginners is an introduction to the Marxist critique of capitalist production and its consequences for a whole range of social activities such as politics, media, education and religion. 'Das Kapital' is not a critique of a...

El capital es la obra que consagra mundialmente a Marx, que conoce reediciones y traducciones en vida del autor y que será recomendada por la Internacional como la "biblia del proletariado". Y así como la biblia judeo-cristiana estuvo sometida durante siglos a las querellas sobre la fidelidad al original, esa obra maestra de Marx dio lugar, durante todo el siglo XX, a intensos debates para determinar cuál era la edición autorizada, quiénes los...

America has been under attack for the last hundred years by socialist ideologists who want to fundamentally transform America from what it is, a religious, conservative, free enterprise, capitalist republic, to what they believe it should be, an irreligious, liberal, centrally managed, socialist partocracy. And they have made remarkable progress!
The modern Democratic Socialist Party is the latest incarnation of this evolution toward repealing and...

Where is the opposition party not being accused of being communist by its opponents? Where is the opposition, which has not thrown this blightful communism accusation back to its...

Excerpt: "One of the minor peculiarities of this unprecedented war is the Tour of the Front. After some months of suppressed information-in which even the war correspondent was discouraged to the point of elimination-it was discovered on both sides that this was a struggle in which Opinion was playing a larger and more important part than it had ever done before. This wild spreading weed was perhaps of decisive importance; the Germans at any rate...
