When I first encountered Mao Zedung as a newly-minted Trotskyist, I have to admit that my feelings were quite negative. I didn’t see the great revolution he had led or the immense theoretical contributions he had made to Marxism. All I saw was a s ... -

Just about any job (by job here I mean useful work) is made easier and can be accomplished in less time at higher levels of productive force developm -

I think you are right that the way I am using the base/superstructure distinction is confusing because it deviates from tradition and leaves out the kinds of things you mention: courts, police, gov’t, etc -- what Althusser

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow and transformation of all existing social conditions. We are open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. We will not shrink from what we do know: the solutions cannot be found within the current world order or the choices it provides. We are for revolution. We seek to find the forms of organization and action for the people most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all humanity.
To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate, discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the rapid changes shaping the world around us. We need to sum up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts, victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements. We need to re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people and move mountains.
