“The Thunder of New Myths,” excerpt from the editorial of our first “issue
zero” print edition:

http://redwedgemagazine.com/articles/thunder-new-dangerous-myths


“The cultural renaissance of revolutionary Russia would be officially
forgotten; displaced by the sterile banality of the so-called socialist
realism. No longer were the boundaries of aesthetics to be challenged;
instead they were to be employed as the window dressing of freedom for an
exploitative regime. Some of Mayakovsky’s contemporaries followed his suit
by taking their own lives. Others would end up kowtowing to Stalinism. A
few, such as the revolutionary theater artist Vsevolod Meyerhold,
disappeared into the gulags and were executed. Many would flee west.”


“Victory Serge: Writing and Truth,” by Ian Birchall:
http://redwedgemagazine.com/articles/victor-serge-writing-truth


“Victor Serge died in 1947, yet only now is it becoming possible to get a
full grasp of his remarkable achievement as a writer. While his *Memoirs of
a Revolutionary* have long been well-known, it was only recently that a
full unabridged version was published in English. [1] In addition to his
seven novels (*Unforgiving Years* has only recently appeared in English
[2]) Serge wrote copiously, but often in obscure publications of the far
left and under various pseudonyms.”


“A Thousand Lost Worlds: Notes on Gothic Marxism,” by AdamTurl:
http://redwedgemagazine.com/articles/thousand-lost-words-notes-gothic-marxism


“The initial impetus for the Gothic in art and literature stemmed from the
marginalization of medieval forms by bourgeois relations and
industrialization. The Gothic castle and the abbey stood in ruins,
projecting both a nostalgia and fear of the past — things that were lost
but also alien and threatening to modern life. The dynamics of capital
continually recreate this process in contemporary culture, on various
scales and in various geographies. This dynamic is the cultural echo of
combined and uneven development.”


“Big Daddy Law,” by Allen Arthur:
http://redwedgemagazine.com/articles/big-daddy-law


“‘Rap started out as a creative response to oppression.’ He couldn’t be
more right. Ghettoized and unheard in the Bronx and Queens, black youth
spoke up whether provided the opportunity or not. They had no large
supplies of electricity, so they took to the parks and used the city’s.
They had no music education in school or money for instruments, so they
chopped up their parents’ Meters records.”

[Marxism] RedWedge this week: The Black Cultural Front, W. Benjamin and Classical Marxism + more

New on redwedgemagazine.com this week:



“Listening for Mrs. Lynch: Left Culture as Mass Matter” by Joseph Ramsey

Brian Dolinar opens The Black Cultural Front: Black Writers and Artists of
the Depression Generation (University Press of Mississippi, 2012) by
quoting not from a major artist or critic, but from a virtually forgotten
participant in a long-dismembered radical organization, an audience member
at a panel about “Culture” held by the National Negro Congress of 1940.
 During the lively discussion that followed the official presentations, a
woman identified in the proceedings only as “Mrs. Lynch” spoke up,
reminding the room that the cultural front mattered because “it is the
cultural things that keep us from going stark crazy” (3).

http://redwedgemagazine.com/articles/listening-mrs-lynch-left-culture-mass-matter

“Walter Benjamin and the Classical Marxist Tradition” by Neil Davidson

An earlier version of this article by Neil Davidson appeared in International
Socialism http://www.isj.org.uk/ 121. An updated version appears in
Davidson’s new book Holding Fast to an Image of the Past: Explorations in
the Marxist Tradition
http://www.amazon.com/Holding-Fast-Image-Past-Explorations/dp/1608463338/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid=1404702768sr=8-1keywords=NEIL+DAVIDSON
(Haymarket Books, http://www.haymarketbooks.org/ 2014). While Davidson’s
article is part of debate with British socialist Chris Nineham we feel it
offers an excellent introduction and method by which to approach the work
of Walter Benjamin. Benjamin is arguably the most important Marxist
cultural critic of the 20th century. His legacy, however, has long been
distorted by sectarian dismissiveness on the one hand and academic
obscurantism on the other. We hope Davidson’s nuanced but rooted Marxist
approach will help to reclaim Benjamin from the academic swamp and help
inoculate practical socialists from a vulgar approach to art and culture.
Most importantly we hope this article contributes to a discussion that
reconciles the best of so-called “Western Marxism” and the Frankfurt School
with the actuality of revolution and immediacy of the class struggle.

“In Defense of Classical Crowd Surfing” by Xavier Pontoon

For the past two weeks, buried within the interminable detritus of most
mainstream news, there has been a real gem of a story. I am speaking, of
course, of David Glowacki: the scientist and artist who was ejected
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jun/25/crowdsurfing-handel-messiah-classical-music
from a performance of Handel’s Messiah at the Old Vic Theatre in Bristol,
UK for the offense of, apparently, trying to crowd surf.

plus “Bells Being Best Heard in Darkness,” “The Political Murals of
Belfast” and “The Russian Revolution, Stalin and Shostakovich and the Jazz
Age”

[Marxism] Lars Lih: The Lies We Tell About Lenin

Lars Lih: The Lies We Tell About Lenin

I will just point to one odd feature of this pro-October story: it has a
pronounced anti-Bolshevik tinge. According to many writers in the
Trotskyist tradition, the doctrine of Old Bolshevism was pernicious error
that had to be rejected before revolutionary victory was possible. We are
constantly reminded by writers in this tradition that the Bolsheviks
themselves, taken as a whole, were a dull lot who stubbornly remained loyal
to what they had been told yesterday, even when their brilliant and
visionary leaders had moved on.

So pronounced is this anti-Bolshevik mood that some writers still have not
forgiven me for saying something nice about Bolshevik underground
activists. Don’t I realize that these activists were stodgy, hidebound
komitetchiki who mistakenly refused to listen to the wisdom of émigré
leaders such as Lenin and Trotsky?

[Marxism] sex work statement on Red Wedge

[Adam Turl via Marxism]

==
Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
==


The attempted murder of Christy Mack is sickening. On August 8th, Mack’s
former partner Jonathan Koppenhaver (also known by his Mixed Martial Arts
name “War Machine”) broke into Mack’s house; for hours he viciously beat
her, threatened to kill her and attempted to rape her. Only after he left
the room did Mack manage to escape with her life. At the end of it all she
had 18 broken bones in her face, shattered and knocked out teeth, broken
ribs and a ruptured liver. Her leg was so badly injured by Koppenhaver that
Mack has trouble walking.

The public response to this heinous act has been equally gut-wrenching.
Right-wing pundits and internet commentators have trotted out a predictable
but no less destructive line: that Mack’s history as a pornographic actor
somehow made her deserving of this horrifying abuse and torture. It is
unfortunately par for the course, a continuation of the vicious and
disgusting cycle of victim-blaming and slut-shaming that normalizes
violence against sex workers.

This is the last fucking straw. As sex workers, he have had enough. We are
sick of the public (including much of the left) clinging to the vestiges of
a puritanical past. Therefore, with all due defiance and anger, we welcome
you to a nuanced position on sexuality and labor: the work of sex.
the rest is online:

teaser for our first full print edition.

We are now excited to announce that this November, *Red Wedge *magazine

Since our founding two years ago we have contributed a modest but important
voice to many of the debates and discussions surrounding culture and the
left. We could not have done this without your sharp and thought provoking
essays on aesthetics and politics, your commentary on sexism in the punk
scene, your poetry that captured the horrors and devastation of war, your
radical political cartoons and countless other important and insightful
contributions.

In the spirit of our commitment to rekindling the revolutionary imagination
and rebuilding the traditions of radical, socialistand Marxist art, the
theme of our first print issue is “Art and Revolution.” Our goal remains to
help create a cultural hub for the entire Marxist and radical left to
imagine new worlds. However, we cannot do this without you. We invite you
to submit your essay, art, analyses, reviews, etc. and your poetry and
prose for our first printed issue. We look forward to your submissions!

With the upcoming relaunch of the new website, Red Wedge Magazine is
excited to announce the new blog: Red Wedge Comix! Political cartooning is
a dying (if not already dead) art form. A combination of cheap metaphors,
lack of humor, lack of nuance, and reactionary politics has led to arguable
the most boring and repetitive medium in comics history. At the same time,
alternative comics has seen seen a boom in recent years due to the amazing
innovation of cartoonists with immeasurably diverse content and styles.

The hope of Red Wedge Comix is to use the diverse and ever expanding and
changing medium of alternative comics to restore the revolutionary
imagination to the comic medium. Explicitly political, anti-capitalist,
socialist, anti-fascist, anti-racist, feminist, lgbtq liberation, and
decolonization comic themes are encouraged. If you are interested in
publishing your work online through Red Wedge Comix please email your
submissions to dumpsterpizzapr...@gmail.com

Also if you are interested in publishing longer serialized comics (either,
monthly or weekly) please send proposals to this email address as well. All
submissions should be RGB color format and 300ppi size. No racist, sexist,
homophobic, transphobic, or other comics that reinforce oppression will be
accepted.

The revolutionary socialist left faces a crisis of imagination.



Most of us cannot really imagine an organized mass alternative within
present-day capitalism (let alone a full-fledged post-capitalist polity).
This is not meant as an insult. This difficulty is not borne of individual
or political failure. It is a product of large social forces beyond any
single socialist, tendency or organization. We organize protests and issue
analyses. We unpack the ABCs of Marxism (as we see it) in study groups with
talented millennial workers and students. We occupy town squares and block
highways. Some of us have gone on strike or helped run independent
political campaigns. Comrades (from Socialist Alternative, Solidarity,
*Kasama*, *Jacobin*, International Socialist Organization, Workers
International League, Socialist Party, Red Party, Philly Socialists,
Socialist Action, among many others) do impressive (as well as the
necessary if mundane) things that keep the socialist tradition alive. On a
(usually) local level socialists (can) leaven the rise of struggle.



But it is now more than six years since the onset of the Great Recession.
Despite substantial interest in anti-capitalist ideas among millennials the
socialist left in the U.S. is hardly larger than it was in the 1990s and
the 2000s. Not even the embryo of a large-scale alternative has begun to
cohere. Something is not working.

While our ultimate goal should be to abolish the commodification of art,
that \ is not achievable in the here and now (especially for poor and
working-class artists). For us, our labor determines whether or not we eat,
go to the doctor, clothe our children, and continue to make art. We cannot
merely produce work for the detached assessment of experts. This is why we
are forming *November*: an association of anti-capitalist studio artists;
to foster the exchange of artistic strategies and promote the sale of our
work (at rates that compensate our members but are affordable to
working-class patrons). If you are interested in joining please contact us:

*Quantité Negligeable
 by **Adam Turl
*

The playwright Bertolt Brecht
, in his
polemics with the theorist George Lukács argued: "Even those writers who
are conscious of the fact that capitalism impoverishes, dehumanizes,
mechanizes human beings, and who fight against it, seem to be part of the
same process of impoverishment: for they too, in their writing, appear to
be less concerned with elevating man, they rush him through events, treat
his inner life as quantité negligeable..."



*Red Wedge No. 2 Launch (Chicago + St. Louis)
 by **The Editors
*

 *Red Wedge* is proud and humbled to be the only English language
publication examining all the arts from a Marxist viewpoint. Our second
issue, “Art Against Global Apartheid”, dropped in May, and we want you to
come celebrate it with us. We will have copies of *RW2* available for
purchase, as well as other cool items (posters, pamphlets, etc). If you're
new to the publication, a long time reader who wants to show support, or
just want to come talk art and radical politics, we expect to see you there.



*Wriggling Off the Precipice

by **Alexander Billet
*

The experimental hip-hop group clipping. have a new E.P. out. It’s called
*Wriggle*. The group’s M.C. Daveed Diggs has recently become nothing short
of a Broadway celebrity lately since winning a Tony for his role in
*Hamilton*. The man is a phenom, an insane talent on the microphone.
There’s no question about this. Diggs’ more usual fare with clipping. is,
however, of a somewhat different fare. As I’ve put it previously, he’s far
more Marquis de Sade than Lafayette, and clipping. fit right in with the
insurgence of “industrial hip-hop” we’ve seen over the past few years that
also includes the likes of Death Grips. Here’s the title track and lead
single from the new E.P.



*Support Consumer Grade Film
 by **Adam
Turl
*

Consumer Grade Film  is producing a
feature-length movie, *In Circles*, and they need your help
.
As they write on their website: *Consumer Grade Film is a U.S. Midwestern
collective of filmmakers focusing on low-budget, socially-conscious
projects. Our current works in progress include the short, Ubercreep, the
feature length film, In Circles, and the YouTube channel, VHS Girl. We are
open to collaboration with other filmmakers focusing on similar content.*



*Rock Against Racism: Roots, Conflict, Contrast

by **Colin Revolting
*

 A collection of anti-racist activist and photographer Syd Shelton’s work
from Rock Against Racism has been collected together for the first time. Is
this book a nostalgic trip to the bad old days of 1970s racial conflict or
does it have something to offer a new generation fighting the changing face
of racism in the 21st century? Maybe both?

Shelton’s starkly black and white photographs portray the sharp contrasts
in 1970s Britain. National Front marchers and anti-racist crowds, the
police and the youth on the street, the punks and Rastas, Sikh pensioners
and black and white kids, the bands and the audiences.



*The Realms 

[Marxism] "Return of the Crowd" -- call for submissions -- Red Wedge 3

Red Wedge is now accepting submissions for our third print issue –centered
around the "return of the crowd" and the 100th anniversary of the Russian
Revolution: "One of the cultural conceits of neoliberalism was that
everyone was to be connected – via social media, the global economy, etc. –
but as atomized individuals pioneering brave new identities. The mobile,
the rabble, the aggregated unrefined, were supposed to be a thing of the
past. But the crowd has returned – befuddling the political center across
Europe and the United States."



….



We are looking for essays, papers, reviews, short stories, poetry, visual
art, comics, and other submissions that deal with some of these questions.

America hates its artists. America hates its young working-class people.
Thirty-six people are dead. They are victims of an art and music economy
that doesn’t work for the majority of artists and musicians. They are dead
because gentrification is taking away our right to the city – and pushing
artists and young workers to the margins – especially (but not only)
artists of color. And because of gentrification the urban life-rafts for
gender non-conforming and queer young people are shrinking. You can’t stay
in the small towns, but you can’t afford San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle
and Portland.

*Dear Artists, Comrades, Friends, Associates, and Bored Police Spies,*

We are pleased to announce the first issue of *Locust Review*
 — forthcoming in late October
2019. *Locust
Review* is a socialist journal of the radical weird. Printed four times a
year in relatively affordable and anachronistic black and white newsprint,
as well as online, we will be offering up art, fiction, poetry, drama,
creative non-fiction, and whatever else we think may directly fuel the
imagination and hunger for a different future in our drab end times.

In our quixotic attempt to map, explore, and preserve the gravediggers’
multiverse, the Born Again Labor Museum 
has created this Irrealist Worker Survey. More surveys with be forthcoming.
If you want attribution in any future exhibitions or educational material,
please fill out your name in the fields at the bottom of the survey. If you
wish to remain anonymous, given the dictatorial power of employers, as well
as state repression, we understand that as well. You could also give
yourself a nom de plume (or nom de guerre). If you don’t already have one,
coming up with one might be fun. All survey fields are optional. Fill out
as much or as little as you like.

May the ghosts of our exploited ancestors shit on the floors of Elon Musk’s
spaceships.
