Fam,

Writing to inform of you of a situation that is still evolving that
requires immediate attention...

St. Louis is under a heat advisory, the Workhouse has no a/c, heat inside
rises to 115 degrees making it a death trap. Protesters are back in the
streets protesting these inhumane conditions. You or I would be arrested
for leaving a dog in a hot car. Police already under scrutiny for an
overtime scandal and covering cameras mounted in the precinct responded
with a heavy handed approach. Tempers are rising with the temperature in
and outside the Workhouse. Protesters are gearing up for round 2 tonite and
need your support. Police will try to shut this down, they do not want to
deal with a potential situation of protests outside and a prison revolt
inside, especially not as we approach the 3rd year anniversary of the
murder of Michael Brown.

I am writing to ask your support for bail, covert ops and first aid
supplies. This situation could go from 10 to 100 very quickly and we cannot
afford to be caught offguard. Please donate what you can today today to
support this action http://www.handsupdontshoot.com/donate

Mainstream media is trying to control the narrative. We will not allow them
to like they did in Ferguson.

Below are additional details...

"LET'S DO THIS AGAIN! SHARE THIS EVENT WIDELY! INVITE FRIENDS!

The police showed their true colors tonight (the 21st), brutalizing and
macing protesters who merely want the city to address the current and
ultimately inherently horrific conditions of the workhouse. Protecting a
jail that really just needs to go. A/C is a minor victory compared to what
needs to really be done. We shouldn't back down when our numbers are so big
and the momentum is strong! If we stick together, we will close this place
down once and for all.

Join us for an emergency protest against current heatwave conditions of the
workhouse on Saturday July 23rd at 7pm. Bring pots and pans to bang on, or
anything that will make a loud noise so folks can hear us. It's going to be
hot, but its the least we can do to support folks on the inside who are
even hotter. BRING WATER. PARK AT THATCHER AND HALL ST.

Our family, friends and others who are currently locked up awaiting trial
or serving short sentences in the Workhouse are right now inside a literal
tinder box because of the heat wave. Temperatures are reaching 105-115
inside and there is no air conditioning or ice to cool folks down. They are
literally screaming for help from the windows. Shut down the workhouse, the
torture has gone on long enough.

The jails and prisons we so often find ourselves in are created to keep the
poor separated. Breaking up families, gouging us out of our hard earned
money that we give to our loved ones commissary so they can buy overpriced
necessities inside, etc. And it's not just about a heatwave, it's also
about the reality of the disparity of those who do and do not go to jail
most often falls along the line of race and class. You rarely see the rich
in such torture chambers. Those who can’t afford bail are left to cook
inside, sometimes waiting years to see trial. These types of jails and
prisons they lock us up in originate from the same people who would of
justified slavery in the 1800s. Let’s break the separation and let people
know on the inside that we aren’t gonna just forget them.

A few years ago I came across a collection of local newspapers from the 
Southwest (Utah, as I recall) ca. 1910.

I was surprised to see how detailed the international coverage was. European 
politics were featured in those pre-WWI days.

Interesting piece from my upstate newspaper where I grew up. Like every 
other place in the USA, people used to get their information from print 
newspapers before there was television. My mom wrote a column for a 
defunct local newspaper called the Republican Watchman about who was 
going on vacation, got a Kiwanis club award, etc. It got that name 
because it was referring to Democrats keeping an eye on the Republicans.


I had no idea, however, how many newspapers were being published in the 
past:


You wouldn't know it to look at the newsstands these days, but Sullivan 
County used to have a thriving newspaper business. Dozens of weekly 
newspapers and periodicals were spread across the towns and villages.
There was the Monticello Adviser, the Livingston Manor Times, the 
Fallsburgh News, the Bloomingburgh Journal and the Republican Watchman, 
just to name five.


There are newspapers dating back to the turn of the 20th century and 
even some stretching back since before the Civil War.
“So many of the ways of old are now gone,” remarked Gittell. “This is 
one more way that we can not only appreciate what was here before, but 
also help guide ourselves away from this concept of mass homogenized 
culture.”

[Marxism] Steven Salaita on leaving academia

(From FB)

A few thoughts on leaving academe:

Next week, I will depart Beirut and return to the DC area. I’m grateful 
to the students and friends who made our time in Lebanon so rewarding. 
We’ll remember this period with great fondness. My son grew from a 
toddler into a little boy in Beirut. His first memories are registered 
at AUB.


Despite applying to positions on four continents, I was unable to find 
an academic job, so I no longer count myself among the professoriate. A 
number of colleagues have attempted to recruit me, but their efforts 
always get shut down by management. In turn, I often feel like I’m 
reliving the UIUC fiasco, which isn’t conducive to the kind of mood I 
prefer to inhabit. I’m easygoing, but I refuse to tolerate the 
indignities of a blacklist.


My immediate plan is to write and give talks. I’m still young and 
energetic. I don’t intend to slosh around in self-pity. Whatever I end 
up doing, I will maintain the spirit of noncompliance that defined my 
time in academe. If you take any lesson from my ouster, please don’t let 
it be fear or caution. Docility is a gift to those who profit from 
injustice. Academe can no longer afford this luxury.


People still ask if I would go back in time and change anything. I would 
not. If my behavior were dishonorable, then I might have something to 
regret. I condemned a brutal ethnocratic state. On this count, I will 
die unapologetic. And insofar as we are forced to contemplate life in 
binaries, I prefer unemployment to subservience. My heart is with those 
who struggle for dignity amid terrible oppression. I spare no loyalty to 
a bourgeois industry that rewards self-importance and conformity.
Despite every node of my disposition screaming at me not to say what I’m 
about to say, I again surrender to my lesser judgment: I leave academe 
feeling that, no matter my copious shortcomings, I managed to remain a 
decent human being. Zionists have worked overtime to incriminate me, but 
they’ve never found anything incriminating—not from a lack of diligence, 
but because there’s nothing to find but plainspoken disdain for settler 
colonization. I haven’t always been a good professor—I’m disorganized 
and forgetful and reclusive and unresponsive and an easy grader—but I’ve 
never compromised my ethics or sold out colleagues and students in order 
to ingratiate myself to power.


Thank you for entertaining my self-indulgence. If my words sound 
incompatible with the demands of nuance and discretion that predominate 
in academic culture, then it’s because I’m no longer of the culture and 
thus unconstrained by its emphasis on disinterest and diplomacy. I can 
speak according to the whims of my conscience. This is what happens when 
you manage to survive a punishment. You become free.

[Marxism] Fwd: Boris Souvarine: No, the Kaiser did not fund the Bolsheviks | Louis Proyect: The Unrepentant Marxist

On June 17th, I posted an article titled “Did the Kaiser Fund the 
Bolsheviks” that was prompted by several articles that made this case, 
including in the liberal Nation Magazine—perhaps unsurprisingly. This 
elicited an interesting comment on the article that showed up this morning:


	For a discussion of Zeman’s documents see Souvarine’s Solzhenitsyn and 
Lenin, in Dissent 1977, online here: 
http://www.stagingdissent.com/wp-content/files_mf/1433877729summer77souvarine.pdf 
There’s also Souvarine’s response to Carmichael in Dissent January 1978 
(Letters, pp.113ff), only available to those who have access (Louis 
perhaps you can put this online?): 
http://search.opinionarchives.com/Dissent_Web/DigitalArchive.aspx?panes=1=02403324_1


Zeman was mentioned in my article as a scholar who dismissed the alleged 
ties between Lenin and Alexander Parvus, who was both an early theorist 
of Permanent Revolution and a successful businessman who was supposedly 
a funnel of German funds to the Bolsheviks.


Souvarine’s article was a critique of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s “Lenin in 
Zurich”, a hybrid novel/history that concurred with the German funding 
of the Bolsheviks hypothesis and even went so far as to argue that there 
was no “sealed train” to the Finland Station, a staple of belief by all 
sides on this debate—until now, at least for me. I find Souvarine most 
convincing.


As per the commenter’s request, I am posting the exchange of letters 
between Joel Carmichael and Boris Souvarine from the Summer, 1978 
Dissent. Carmichael is obviously a hardcore anti-Communist who was 
outraged by Dissent magazine’s temerity in publishing an article that 
cleared Lenin’s name of a charge going back to the early 1920s, namely 
that his party was subsidized by the Kaiser.
