[Marxism-Thaxis] Free Ebook Service Of Interest (Was U of C Ebooks)
Have you looked at http://a.rg.org There is a strong focus on postmodernist heroes, but a fruitful supply of materials on Marxism, Frankfurt School authors, etc. There is no search mechanism, but you can click on Library and then search alphabetically by author. You can sign up for a daily new additions newsletter. I think that rg.org is not a producer per se but an aggregator, as well as an indicator to others willing to laboriously scan a work. I've noted that items requested often show up a few days later! To date, only Verso has issued a formal cease and desist request. - Bill Ralph Dumain wrote: University of California Press has made a whole collection of e-books available online, many of them in their entirety for free.

This is news to me. I see that one has to register to use this site? Is this advisable?

[Marxism-Thaxis] Free Screenings Tonight of Capitalism
Free Screenings Tonight of Capitalism for the Jobless and Homeless in America's Hardest Hit Cities (plus local benefit premieres all across the country) Thursday, October 1st, 2009 Friends, We're just one day away from the widest opening I've ever had for any of my movies. Tomorrow, Friday, October 2nd, Capitalism: A Love Story opens on over a thousand screens across the United States, a record for an independent documentary. This follows last weekend's limited opening in New York and L.A. where Capitalism set the box office record for the highest per screen average of ANY movie released so far this year. Not just any documentary -- any MOVIE! It was, as the studio said, a good indicator of just how well the movie may do when it goes wide this weekend. I sincerely hope they're right because I believe deeply in this film. To kick off the national release of Capitalism: A Love Story, I've asked the studio to offer a number of screenings in the nation's hardest hit cities -- the ones with the highest unemployment rates and highest foreclosure rates -- where those who've lost their jobs or who are in foreclosure (or have already been evicted) may attend my film free of charge. They've agreed, and so tonight (Thursday), the night before our opening day, ten cities will grant you free admission if you have fallen on hard times. The list of theaters and cities is below. You don't need to bring any proof of your situation -- just show up -- it's the honor system, no questions asked. Of course, a free movie ain't much when what you really need is a job or a place to live. And that's not going to change until the party that controls both the Congress and the White House wakes up and realizes the American people put them in charge to fix the mess created by the previous administration. For that to happen requires the active involvement of each of us. And, as I show in this movie, it's going to also require us to challenge some fundamental assumptions about an economic system that currently allows the wealthiest ONE PERCENT in this country to have more financial wealth than the bottom 95% combined. That concentration of money and power in the hands of so few people is, I believe, at the core of so many of our problems. So, if you're going through tough times and you live in one of the areas below, please be my guest tonight, on the eve of my new film's opening. Seating will be on a first come, first served basis. Also, in another five cities tonight, I have made the film available to local groups to hold benefit screenings to raise money for their local organizations -- organizations which are working toward a day when a filmmaker doesn't have to offer free screenings to people who've been put through the wringer. If you live in any of these areas (see below for the list of benefit premieres tonight), please come out and support the good work of these grassroots groups. So, until tomorrow, thanks for your support, and I'll see ya at the movies!

[Marxism-Thaxis] Free will
I can imagine Caudwell saying something like the problem of free will and determinism is a bourgeois philosophical problem. Free will is another of the many expressions of bourgeois liberty, i.e. the total independence and autonomy of the individual from society and the universe. The desire that this individual will not be determined by anything but itself is the dream of bourgeois individualism and absolute individual freedom. ONce we are comfortable with the individual as especially a social individual, the lack of undetermined and free will of the individual is not so bothersome.
