Re: [Marxism] Worker strike actions in Donbass?
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == Rabkor is essentially writing fantasy fiction about Donbass. In reality, miners' unions are pro-unity and took part in unity rallies in Donetsk under Ukrainian flags. They have a good reason to do so: the problem of Donbass is that the coal expensive and low-quality, all the mines are very deep because all the top layers have already been mined; thus Donbass coal mines wouldn't survive free market competition. However, Ukrainian government keeps them afloat by subsidies for two reasons. The first reason is that coal miners are surely the best organized and most militant group of workers in Ukraine that launched massive strikes in the 90s so the government fears them. The second one is Russian gas price for Ukraine which is so high that it's reasonable to buy Russian gas back from the EU countries. This creates demand for Ukrainian coal as an alternative to Russian gas. Should Donbass join Russia, this would change since Russia has much cheaper open-pit coal from Siberia, not saying about oil and gas. In the Russian part of Donbass all coal mines were closed except the two belonging to Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov. And independent Donbass would not have the financial resources needed to sustain its coal mining. Thus miners have good reasons for being pro-unity. The recent strike in Krasnodon on Rinat Akhmetov's mines had pure economical reasons - it was directed against Akhmetov's wage cuts and according to reports from the site of the events, the miners distanced themselves from separatists and did not put forward anti-government slogans. As for Yenakiyevo, Ukrainian media report just about 300-strong mob of separatists seizing Akhmetov's company office. I can't either verify or confirm their relation to miners or metal workers. Thererfore separatists are generally hostile to miners' unions. Here are some statements: http://kvpu.org.ua/uk/news/6/3144/zayava-nezalezhnoi-profspilki-girnikiv-ukraini-shhodo-zagrozlivoi-situacii-v-kraini http://kvpu.org.ua/uk/news/6/3142/zayava-kvpu-shhodo-ostannikh-podijj-v-kraini http://kvpu.org.ua/uk/news/4/3148/separatisty-zakhvatili-gp-%22artemugol%22-v-gorlovke I would say that the pro-Russian militias pose greater fascist threat to miners than government in Kiev.

[Marxism] Blog post: Playing To Win
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == Full at http://cheapmotelsandahotplate.org/2014/05/05/playing-win/ When I was a boy, I loved sports. Baseball was my passion, and I could be found in the backyard, even in the middle of winter, endlessly throwing a rubber-coated baseball into the air and hitting it as far as I could with my bat. I played organized ball from the age of nine to twenty-two, in Little League, Pony League, American Legion, High School, College, and in town leagues. When I began teaching, basketball became my new sports obsession, and I played seven days a week for many years. In a working class town, excellence in sports was much prized, and for me, helped secure my budding “manhood.” It greatly aided my desire to fit in, to be considered someone who was physically tough. Sports allowed me to be good at something and respected at the same time. Academic excellence wasn’t even a close second. It was impossible then, in the 1950s ane 1960s, just as it probably still is, to be sports-crazy and not worship competition. When I played, I wanted to win. Defeat bothered me; there was never a game that I didn’t do whatever I could to win. This often led me to behave badly. I had no sympathy for teammates whose performance was below par. I’d yell and scream at them. Once when I was fifteen and pitching in an important contest, our third baseman dropped an easy pop fly. I shouted an obscenity at him. My father was watching the game and was so angry at my outburst that he came onto the field and told me to apologize. To little effect, however; I wasn’t chastened and didn’t change my behavior. . . .

Re: [Marxism] Thomas Piketty Interview: Economist Discusses His Distaste for Marx | New Republic
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == An important interview in which he exposes his willful ignorance. He admits never having read any Marx except the Manifesto, yet blithely slanders Marx for having no data. So leave aside the fact for now that he says nothing about surplus value, rates of profit (falling or otherwise), or any other key Marxist economic concept (well, not nothing: he lies and claims Marx didn't deal with productivity increases). What he means by Marx having no data is that Marx doesn't accumulate the kind of data that can be plugged into an x-y graph comparing two variables, which is the be-all and end-all for mainstream economists (Piketty doesn't do it in a particularly sophisticated way, but that's for he and his colleagues to deal with). Marx DOES include more than enough data to prove the validity of his formulas for surplus and profit rates and on that basis to outline laws of motion, patterns of accumulation etc. And all that is a solid basis for empirical investigations like those of Shaikh and Tonak on national accounts which expose Piketty's data for the amateurish conglomeration it is.

For one thing a lot of Internet discussion has moved to Facebook, for good or ill. For another Renfrey isn't necessarily revered as an expert, for example on Libya where there was a lot of public discussion around 2011-12 and if I recall correctly to the extent there was any line adopted, Renfrey's very positive stance towards the rebels was a minority one. See e.g. http://links.org.au/node/2300. For a third thing Socialist Alliance's line clearly isn't what's in Links, as there's a variety of views there.

The fragile recovery from the GFC and the Great Recession that followed has been at the expense of the large majority of people who have been forced to shoulder the main burden. As a result a continuing political crisis of neo-liberalism continues to break out into political upheavals and what the IMF calls “geopolitical risks”. These include the continuing wars and uprisings in the Middle East, the conflict in Ukraine and the continuing popular mobilisations against austerity in southern Europe. 8. However, many of these mass uprisings also revealed the limits of spontaneous revolts as well as the challenges – and necessity – of developing the self-organisation and political consciousness of the oppressed and building a political force that represents the interests of the oppressed and is capable of leading a struggle for political power against the ruling classes. In the absence of such developments, right-wing populists, local elites and imperialist powers will exploit the situation. We can see this dynamic unfold in Egypt, Syria and the Ukraine. 9. The Socialist Alliance will continue to stand in solidarity with all struggles against oppression and exploitation even where we disagree with the political leadership of such struggles. For instance, we defend the supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and other dissidents facing brutal repression under the Egyptian military regime, even though we disagreed with the politics of MB and the former Morsi government. 10. We oppose – and seek to expose – any imperialist intervention and manipulation of these conflicts but we reject the approach of those leftists who in the name of opposing imperialism whitewash bloody dictatorships like that the Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad. Similarly, while we condemn the interference of the US and EU in the conflict in Ukraine we also call for an end to the intervention by the Putin government of Russia.

Re: [Marxism] Bandera and Ukraine
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == I know Chris Ford well and readily acknowledge his expertise on the history of Ukraine, but I'm surprised that he wrote that 'put simply without Stalinism there would have been no Bandera'. The hard-line Ukrainian nationalism -- 'integralism', as it was often called -- that Bandera espoused was around well before Stalin's taking over the reins in Moscow, and the integralist OUN, of which Bandera became a major leader, was formed in 1929, that is, just as Stalin took over and some years before the famine in Soviet Ukraine, and Bandera had become its chief propaganda officer in 1931. No doubt the famine in Soviet Ukraine reinforced Bandera in his views, but he was an integralist well before it happened. If we interpret Chris' statement in the way that without the Stalinist experience, Bandera's brand of integralism would not have taken off; again, I would dispute this. Integralism was a common factor right across Eastern Europe in the interwar period, and it occurred within nations that were established, such as Poland, and amongst nationalities who did not have a nation-state of their own, Ukrainians being a notable case (there was also a Jewish brand of integralism, articulated by Jabotinsky). Ukrainian integralism grew up largely in Poland, which incorporated much of Western Ukraine, and whose regime persecuted Ukrainians as bad as if not actually worse than it persecuted Jews within its borders. Again, news of the famine in Soviet Ukraine would have intensified Ukrainian integralism, but it grew up to quite some degree in response to Polish chauvinism and in parallel with such sentiments across the area. Integralism had movements amongst most if not all nationalities right across Europe in the interwar period, and, especially in Eastern Europe, it keyed in neatly with existing anti-Jewish sentiments, in places (such as Poland) informing government policies when integralists got into office, and creating a murderous brew which erupted when the Nazi invasion took place, with the Nazis both permitting and encouraging pogrom gangs to run amok. The very real crimes of Stalinism in Ukraine, whether or not or to what degree they were propelled by specific anti-Ukrainian sentiments on the part of the Soviet bureaucracy (it's a moot point, as Russification took place in all non-Russian areas and the 1932-33 famine also badly hit southern Russia and Kazakhstan), gave a big impetus to Ukrainian integralism, but I would suggest that even had the Soviet Union not evolved into Stalinism, the famine not occurred and the Soviet regime had not expanded into what was in 1939 Polish territory, a brand of extreme right-wing Ukrainian nationalism with definite fascist features would have come into being, and would have been no less murderous towards other nationalities, especially Jews, than the other integralists in the area at the time.

Let me refer to that FI article that I scanned in to remind you of the circumstances: http://louisproyect.org/2014/04/20/lenins-party-great-russian-chauvinism-and-the-betrayal-of-ukrainian-national-aspirations/ Skrypnyk, a personal friend of Lenin, and a realist always studying the relationship of forces, was seeking a minimum of Ukrainian federation with Russia and a maximum of national independence. In his opinion, it was the international extension of the revolution which would make it possible to resist in the most effective fashion the centralising Greater Russian pressure. At the head of the first Bolshevik government in the Ukraine he had had some very bitter experiences: the chauvinist behaviour of Muraviev, the commander of the Red Army who took Kiev, the refusal to recognize his government and the sabotage of his work by another commander, Antonov-Ovseyenko, for whom the existence of such a government was the product of fantasies about an Ukrainian nationality. In addition, Skrypnyk was obliged to fight bitterly for Ukrainian unity against the Russian Bolsheviks who, in several regions, proclaimed Soviet republics, fragmenting the country. The integration of Galicia into the Ukraine did not interest them either. The national aspiration to sobornist’, the unity of the country, was thus openly flouted. It was with the “Katerynoslavian” right wing of the party that there was the most serious confrontation. It formed a Soviet republic in the mining and industrial region of Donetsk-Kryvyi Rih, including the Donbas, with the aim of incorporating it into Russia. This republic, its leaders proclaimed, was that of, a Russian proletariat “which does not want to hear anything about some so-called Ukraine and has nothing in common with it”. This attempted secession could count on some support in Moscow. The Skrypnyk government had to fight against these tendencies of its Russian comrades, for the sobornist’ of the Soviet Ukraine within the national borders set, through the Central Rada, by the national movement of the masses. The first congress of the CP(B) of the Ukraine took place in Moscow. For Lenin and the leadership of the Russian CP(B) the decision of Tahanrih had the flavour of a nationalist deviation. They were not ready to accept an independent Bolshevik party in the Ukraine or a Ukrainian section of the Komintern. The CP(B) of the Ukraine could only be a regional organization of the pan-Russian CP(B), according to the thesis “one country, one party”. Is the Ukraine not a country?

Workers of a printing house are facing suspensions and lay-offs; a group of workers are organizing to fight back as the union officials try to push them aside. At the same time, Martin, part of the workers’ group, starts to read the Communist Manifesto and ends up meeting Karl Marx himself, is he dreaming or is it reality ? All through the episodes Marx appears in the story, exposing his revolutionary ideas regarding social classes, the crises, the State and communism. The famous actor Carlos Weber (Marx en el Soho) plays the role of Karl Marx in this story along with a group of young actors from the independent national scene. The series was produced by the IPS (Instituto del Pensamiento Socialista) and directed by the Contraimagen group and the TVPTS (online TV channel). It was initiated by the PTS (Socialist Workers’ Party), a member of the Frente de Izquierda y de los Trabajadores (Left and Workers’ Front), as part of its work to spread Marxist ideas throughout the country. Coming out fittingly on May 1st, International Workers’ Day, this fictional mini-series aims at uniting actual history with the fundamental ideas of the classic Marxist pamphlet The Communist Manifesto. The 4 episodes will be issued online throughout May, each Thursday, in Spanish with subtitles available in English, French and Spanish. They’ll be available on www.tvpts.tv, www.pts.org.ar, and social networks. http://www.ft-ci.org/Marx-Is-Back-a-mini-series-of-fiction-based-on-the-Communist-Manifesto?lang=en Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

Is Counting on the Past By NORIMITSU ONISHI ALEXANDRA, South Africa — In this poor black township on the outskirts of Johannesburg, the campaign posters exhorting voters to return the African National Congress to power in Wednesday’s election reached deep into the party’s glorious past. “Do it for Madiba,” said one poster, referring to Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first black president, by his clan name. “Do it for Chris Hani,” another poster declared, referring to the firebrand A.N.C. leader assassinated in 1993. The posters, put up by the South African Communist Party, the A.N.C.’s partner in government since the end of white rule in 1994, avoided mentioning the country’s current president, Jacob Zuma, who is beset by scandal. But the misdirection was not fooling Nomakwezi Buya. “They are just abusing the names of Mandela and Chris Hani because they are dead people,” said Ms. Buya, 59, who is a former A.N.C. loyalist who says she will vote for a breakaway party this time. “They are not keeping their legacy alive.” Five months after the death of Mr. Mandela, the party is counting on its dead heroes to keep its current, sullied leadership in power. It is likely to work: The A.N.C. is poised to win overwhelmingly in this nation’s fifth democratic election, granting a second term to Mr. Zuma, 72, whose popularity was further eroded by a recent report detailing the misuse of $23 million in public funds to upgrade his private home. But a projected decline in support is expected to chip away at what has effectively been a one-party state since the end of apartheid 20 years ago. By how much remains the key question. In recent months, young men have looted shops, burned tires and hurled rocks in townships surrounding Johannesburg and Pretoria, in what are called “service delivery protests” aimed at the A.N.C. Dissident veterans of the party are urging voters to spoil their ballots in a “Vote No” campaign. The Economic Freedom Fighters, a new party that is led by the former leader of the A.N.C.’s youth wing and is calling for the nationalization of mines and banks without compensation, is attracting the young and angry. Traditional A.N.C. allies like the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa, the nation’s biggest trade union, have also broken away. Their message — that the party that freed South Africa is now led by a corrupt class that has failed to raise the standard of living of the average black South African — resonates here in this traditional A.N.C. stronghold. Still, the absence of a clear alternative for the black majority, as well as older black voters’ enduring loyalty to the figures who liberated them, has given the A.N.C. an insurmountable lead in the polls. “The people that go to vote are our grannies, our parents, because they came with the A.N.C. from far,” said Tshidiso Nonyane, 25, who voted for the party in the past but has not registered for this election. “The A.N.C. is going to win because of those people. If there was another party that would truly bring jobs, better housing and stuff like that, that would be better.” A college graduate with a degree in marketing, he is now working at a McDonald’s. “The youth is not voting because there’s no point in voting,” he said. “Even on that day, we won’t even be watching the news to check who is winning or what because we know the A.N.C. is going to win. So the A.N.C. is only winning for the wrong reasons.” Nevertheless, this election, the most competitive in South Africa’s post-apartheid history, offers some hints of the forces that could loosen the A.N.C.’s grip on power in the years ahead. The Democratic Alliance, the main opposition party traditionally associated with white South Africans, has attracted middle-class blacks and begun widely campaigning in black townships like Alexandra with the message of “Together for jobs.” “For the first time, the A.N.C. is not taking electoral victory for granted,” said Steven Friedman, a political analyst at the University of Johannesburg. “Even if the competition is being hyped up, the A.N.C. is taking it seriously, and that is politically significant.” As an example, Mr. Friedman said, the party had directed its lawmakers to pass only legislation popular among voters in the run-up to the election — the first time it had bothered to do so. Here in Alexandra, Ms. Buya was planning to vote for the Congress of the People, a party started by dissident A.N.C. members in 2008. Asked why, she waved her arms inside her small shack where she lives with her two daughters and two grandchildren under a thin roof made of corrugated metal. “We still live here after

[Marxism] NEW FROM VERSO: BOHEMIANS BY DAVID BERGER AND PAUL BUHLE
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == Bohemians: A Graphic History by David Bergerhttp://www.versobooks.com/authors/1836-david-berger and Paul Buhlehttp://www.versobooks.com/authors/266-paul-buhle OUT NOW Marvelously drawn tribute to free thinkers ... Engaging, informative, and inspiring. – Joe Sacco http://www.versobooks.com/books/1563-bohemians The countercultures that came to define bohemia spanned the Atlantic, encompassing Walt Whitman's Brooklyn and the Folies Bergère of Josephine Baker, Gertrude Stein's salons and the Manhattan clubs where Dizzy Gillespie made his name. Edited by Paul Buhle and David Berger, Bohemians is the graphic history of this movement and its illustrious figures. The stories collected here revisit the utopian ideas behind millennial communities, the rise of Greenwich Village and Harlem, the multiracial and radical jazz and dance worlds, and the West Coast, Southern, and Midwest bohemias of America, among other radical scenes. Drawn by an all-star cast of comic artists, Bohemiansis a broad and entertaining account of the rebel impulse in American cultural history. Featuring work by Spain Rodriguez, Sharon Rudahl, Peter Kuper, Sabrina Jones, David Lasky, Afua Richardson, Lance Tooks, Milton Knight, and more. The ebook edition is expanded from the paperback edition, and includes additional chapters on the swing music scene, La Boheme and midwest bohemians, as well as expanded material on the Greenwich Village intellectuals, Walt Whitman and Harlem jazz club Minton's Playhouse. -- DAVID BERGER was born and raised first in Brooklyn and then in that most bohemian of suburbs, Croton-on-Hudson. He currently writes, teaches and occupies Wall Street while residing in Chelsea with his wife, the singer/songwriter Audra MsBlu Berger. PAUL BUHLE, formerly a senior lecturer at Brown University, produces radical comics. He founded the SDS Journal Radical America and the archive Oral History of the American Left and, with Mari Jo Buhle, is coeditor of the Encyclopedia of the American Left. He lives in Madison. -- This collection of marvelously drawn stories pays tribute to the free thinkers who've moved against society's grain and turned their backs on convention. Engaging, informative, and inspiring. – Joe Sacco, author of Palestine Words become graphic and the graphics bring Bohemia alive in this wonderful history by Buhle and Berger. There is nothing worse than being severed from one's own roots, as demonstrated by decades of identity movements, there is nothing worse than being stripped of one's heritage, unless it's the theft of identity by thieving oppressors. This graphic anthology beautifully reconstructs the roots of America's counter-culture from the lost stories of men and women, blacks and whites, gay and straight who were the original refuseniks of Bohemia. I can't wait for more. – Tom Hayden Disaffected wealth looking for fun, imaginative outsiders wanting a voice, reaching across and within ideology, dreams, expression and desires. Great intro to an American century of influences, individuals and scenes producing ideas for the future to engage. – Sarah Schulman, author of The Gentrification of the Mind Once again, Paul Buhle has assembled a stellar group of writers and cartoonists to illuminate a subject often ignored by the wider pop-obsessed culture. The stories in Bohemians: A Graphic History bristle with real-life energy and detail, bringing this slice of history to vibrant life. The tale of Yosl Cutler's radical Yiddish puppets by Joel Schechter (featuring Spain Rodriguez's last published work, with an assist by Jay Kinney), is worth the price of admission alone. – Bill Griffith, creator of Zippy the Pinhead Delightful, witty, and informative, Bohemians is a bar-raising performance in the genre of graphic histories… a comic-art volume that narrates a complicated story of race, sex, and rebellion with great aplomb to provide portraits that are candid and humane. – Alan M. Wald, author of The New York Intellectuals A terrific appraisal of culture's gypsies, tramps and thieves, worthy of the editors' judgment: Obituaries for bohemia have, in short, always been premature. – Kirkus Reviews Both a visual treat and an edifying look at alternative culture. – Library Journal -- Paperbackhttp://www.versobooks.com/books/1563-bohemians, 176 pageshttp://www.versobooks.com/books/1563-bohemians / Publication: April 15th 2014 / ISBN: 9781781682616 / US$16.95 / £9.99 CAN$£19.95 ALSO AVAILABLE AS AN E-BOOK -- Visit Verso's website for information on our upcoming events, new reviews and publications and special offers: http://www.versobooks.com Sign up for the Verso

== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == One of the recent changes in the conflict has been that the rebels are becoming more organised and more effective. Infighting is still common, but they are learning to coordinate operations. It is safe to say that the Free Syrian Army, in particular, is back after months of being eclipsed by Salafist and jihadist groups. A process of consolidating rebel factions under a common leadership is underway. According to rebel sources, the FSA is winning back armed factions, previously acquired by religious groups. These factions are joining the FSA for several reasons, not least because the FSA is increasingly better funded and as supplies to extremist forces are no longer steady as was the case in the past – unless such forces control resources inside Syria, such as oilfields.

[Marxism] Abahlali baseMjondolo Press Statement
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == 06 May 2014 Abahlali baseMjondolo Press Statement The ANC Must be removed from Office For nine years our movement has boycotted elections. We have been clear that no political party represents the interests of the poor and that it was necessary for us to build our own power in order to present our own needs and demands to society. In these nine years we have won many victories but most of us remain in shacks. Twenty years of shack life is a disgrace in a democracy. Corruption is also a disgrace. In Durban you get nothing without a membership card for the ANC. All development goes through the councillors and their ward committees and ANC branch executive committees. Development is there to make ANC leaders rich and to control the rest of us by only making it available to ANC members. Development is not for the people. This kind of corruption is a disgrace in a democracy. But an even bigger disgrace is the repression that we have faced from the ANC, its members, its leaders and its assassins. They have banned our marches; attacked our marches; arrested us on trumped up charges; assaulted us in detention; used armed men to drive us from our homes with police support; used death threats, attacks in our homes and torture in police stations to intimidate people to manufacture evidence against us; detained us for months and months while we wait for a trial that gets thrown out of court because there is no evidence against us; used their anti-land invasion unit to evict us for political reasons and beaten and shot us in our communities. Senior members of the ANC and the Municipality have made public death threats against us. Two activists were assassinated in Cato Crest last year and another, an unarmed teenage girl, was executed by the police. We cannot go on with this level of repression. As everyone knows we are not the only people who face this kind of repression. We all know about Andries Tatane and all the others murdered by the police on protests. We all know about the Marikana Massacre. In Durban court orders are just ignored by the Municipality and so the courts cannot protect us. Mostly the media and civil society tend to agree that because we are poor and black we are automatically violent and criminal and too stupid to think our own politics and so we do not get that much protection from the media and civil society either. We have some valued comrades on the left among the middle classes but mostly this left just wants to bus us into its meetings so that it can look credible without having any interest at all in our struggles, our ideas or our safety. NUMSA asked us to support their march in Durban but they have not shown any concern to support us when we face repression. The EFF also asked us to support their march in Durban but, like NUMSA, they have not supported us when we face repression. So far our experience of both these organisations is that they are operating like the left NGOs – we are treated as if our only role is to provide the large numbers of people that they need to be bussed in to justify their politics. Because we cannot carry on like this we took a decision to vote against the ANC. We did not want to split our vote. We decided to collectivise our vote in order to make it stronger. Our main priority was that the ANC must be removed from office. We knew that this will not happen in this election but we were still clear that if we can weaken the ANC then we must do that. Also we knew that if we collectivise our vote all the political parties will know that there is a large bloc of votes that will be available at the next election for the party that does the best job in opposing repression and takes the best position on shack settlements. We decided that all political parties except the ANC would be invited to make a presentation to the movement. Some of our members did not want to invite the DA to make a presentation as they are known to represent the rich and, in Cape Town, they are no different to the ANC when it comes to illegal and violent evictions. However we debated this at length and decided to invite them to make a presentation on the grounds that the removal of the ANC was our first priority and the weakening of the ANC was our second priority. The DA, EFF, NFP and WASP all accepted the invitation to make a presentation to our members at the Diakonia Centre on 25 April and they all came and made their presentations. The delegates to that meeting then returned to their branches to discuss the presentations there. We met again on 2 May and held a general meeting. At this meeting the general leadership did not vote as their role was to facilitate the meeting. The rest of the delegates voted and the

Re: [Marxism] Ukraine: The Only Way to Peace by Anatol Lieven | NYRblog | The New York Review of Books
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == That duck is treading water, for now at least, and given political exigencies, it may be dead in the water. The parliament in Kiev just voted down even the possibility of holding a referendum. It was voted down due to security concerns. Makes sense. Can't very well put off a planned military attack, dictated by the terms of the IMF agreement, in order to hold some silly plebiscite. And also, they outlawed the communist party. What is truly strange and terrible about this looming disaster is that all the leading players already know and agree about what the only solution can be, even if they disagree on the details and the timing: a federal Ukraine with elected regional governments and robust protection for regional interests. This, *not* further separation, is what Moscow is proposing; and this is what the Ukrainian interim president, Olexander Turchynov, has publicly hinted at for the Donbas. Although the rebels in Donetsk and other eastern cities have declared the Donetsk Republic and are now planning an independence referendum on May 11, many easterners, too, have indicated that they want some kind of federalization and not independence or annexation to Russia. As interviewshttp://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/04/world/europe/behind-the-masks-in-ukraine-many-faces-of-rebellion.htmlpublished in Sunday’s *New York Times* make clear, even some rebel commanders themselves hope to keep Ukraine united.

[Marxism-Thaxis] This is the full 50 volumes of the Lawrence Wishart MECW in searchable, retail-like quality.
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/10041593 This is the full 50 volumes of the Lawrence Wishart MECW in searchable, retail-like quality. Marx/Engels Collected Works (MECW) is the largest collection of translations into English of the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It contains all works published by Marx and Engels in their lifetimes and numerous unpublished manuscripts and letters. The Collected Works, which was translated by Richard Dixon and others, consists of 50 volumes. It was compiled and printed between 1975 and 2005 by Progress Publishers (Moscow) in collaboration with Lawrence and Wishart (London) and International Publishers (New York). The Collected Works contains material written by Marx between 1835 and his death in 1883, and by Engels between 1838 and his death in 1895. The early volumes include juvenilia, including correspondence between Marx and his father, Marx's poetry, and letters from Engels to his sister. Several volumes collect the pair's articles for the Neue Rheinische Zeitung. Other volumes in the Collected Works contain well-known works of Marx and Engels, including The Communist Manifesto, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, and Capital, lesser-known works, and previously unpublished or untranslated manuscripts. The Collected Works includes 13 volumes of correspondence by the mature Marx and Engels, covering the period from 1844 through 1895. Although the Collected Works is the most complete collection of the work by Marx and Engels published to date in English, it is not their complete works. A project to publish the pair's complete works in German is expected to require more than 120 volumes. ___ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
