(We also call attention to our July 10 mini-conference “Dialectics of Race, Class, and Gender: Debating Raya Dunayevskaya’s Intersectional Marxism,” more information here.)

 

This June 27 session will take up chapter 11, “The Philosopher of Permanent Revolution Creates New Ground for Organization” and the Afterword to the chapter, “Trotsky’s Theory of Permanent Revolution,”  from Raya Dunayevskaya’s classic book, “Rosa Luxemburg, Women’s Liberation, and Marx’s Philosophy of Revolution” (pp. 153-73). Marx’s organizational activity and concepts will be viewed alongside — and in contrast to — those of V.I. Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, and Leon Trotsky.

About the series:

We began meeting biweekly in fall 2020 to read Marxist and feminist philosopher Raya Dunayevskaya’s classic book, “Rosa Luxemburg, Women’s Liberation, and Marx’s Philosophy of Revolution.”  We are now nearing the end this series, but newcomers are always welcome as each session is self-contained.

Book can be accessed here: https://thecharnelhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Raya-Dunayevskaya-Rosa-Luxemburg-Womens-Liberation-and-Marxs-Philosophy-of-Revolution.pdf

Our discussions during the reading group have been covering topics like:

• Race, class, gender, and revolution
• Dialectics as philosophy and as principle of organization
• The relationship of spontaneity to revolutionary organization
• War, imperialism, and capitalism
• Capital accumulation and imperialism
• Nationalism vs. national liberation and anti-colonialism
• Women and revolution
• Feminism, class struggle, and revolution
• Black feminism
• Black masses as vanguard in the U.S.
• Rosa Luxemburg vs. V.I. Lenin on revolutionary democracy
• Karl Marx’s concept of “revolution in permanence” and Trotsky’s of “permanent revolution”
• From Marx’s “Grundrisse” to “Capital”
• Marx’s concept of the new society: “Critique of the Gotha Programme”
• Marx’s late writings on non-Western and Indigenous societies and gender
• Falling rate of profit and economic crises
