SUMMARY:Highlights of Marx’s Capital\, Volume 1
DESCRIPTION:*TPF is closed from March 10 – April 20* \nCapital is the indispensable sourcebook on Marx’s method for analyzing the economy\, politics and struggles. The Marxist Education Project introduced the highlights format because\, over the past 40 years\, the lengthening of people’s work week along with increased job instability (issues that Marx analyzes) have made it harder for people to commit to longer studies. \nIn a continuing quest to increase access for those who have been historically excluded\, turned off or silenced by the way this theory is often taught and discussed\, MEP is offering the highlights class beginning this January for women only. Everyone who identifies as a woman is welcome. \nWhile Capital consists of three volumes\, a basic familiarity with the key concepts and sections of Volume I offers many tools for understanding the mode of production we live under.  \nFees are sliding scale. no one is turned away for inability to pay. Tickets available here.

SUMMARY:Invention of the White Race
DESCRIPTION:The Invention of the White Race Volumes I & II\, Theodore W.  Allen’s historical materialist analysis of racial slavery\, documents how the plantation elite put in place this system of social control following Bacon’s Rebellion of 1676.  In the final stage of this uprising\, an army of European and African chattel bond laborers burned Jamestown to the ground and temporarily drove Governor Berkeley into exile across the Chesapeake Bay.   The terrified planter bourgeoisie\, in a deliberate response to this display of labor solidarity\, enacted a series of laws and practices in the late 17th and early 18th centuries which implanted a system of ‘white’ racial privileges that enabled the imposition of racial slavery and white male supremacy.  \nThe Revolutions Study Group (started at the Brecht Forum) has met since 2009. The groups has recently completed a year-long study of W.E.B. Dubois’ Black Reconstruction. Participants have come and gone\, however the group has held together\, studying in depth a wide range of history including the French Revolution\, the Russian Revolutions of 1905 and 1917\, the Mau-Mau Revolt in Kenya\, the Haitian Revolution\, the 1848 European Revolutions\, the May 68 movement in France and the Hot Autumn of Italy and much more. \nFees are sliding scale. no one is turned away for inability to pay. \nTickets available here.

SUMMARY:Capital\, Volume III
DESCRIPTION:Capital\, Volume III\, The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole\, completes Marx’s task of moving from the imaginary concrete—the researcher and scientist analyzing the appearances we see in everyday life such as in the Grundrisse\, to the abstract concrete. The results of the analytic study of the phenomenon that has revealed the social/natural content of that phenomenon (Volumes I and II)\, to the real concrete—how this content is expressed in everyday life through the mechanisms by which the actors determine their actions and appropriate wealth (Volume III). The study of Volume III is essential to understanding the complex dynamics at work in the present realities we are facing and how these realities are the necessary results of the inner logic of capital. \nThe CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting on Saturdays for more than two years. We are a group of workers\, students\, activists and teachers who have dedicated themselves to a chronological reading of all three volumes of Marx’s Capital. Newcomers are encouraged to join when your schedule permits. \nAdmissions are sliding scale. No one is ever excluded for inability to pay. \nTickets are available here.
