Paperback. Condición: Good. Karl Marx remarked that the only way to write about the origins of capitalism is in the letters of blood and fire used to drive workers from the common lands, forests, and waters in the sixteenth century. In this collection of essays, George Caffentzis argues that the same is true for the annals of twenty-first-century capitalism. Information technology, immaterial production, financialization, and globalization have been trumpeted as inaugurating a new phase of capitalism that puts it beyond its violent origins. Instead of being a period of major social and economic novelty, however, the course of recent decades has been a return to the fire and blood of struggles at the advent of capitalism. Emphasizing class struggles that have proliferated across the social body of global capitalism, Caffentzis shows how a wide range of conflicts and antagonisms in the labor-capital relation express themselves within and against the work process. These struggles are so central to the dynamic of the system that even the most sophisticated machines cannot liberate capitalism from class struggle and the need for labor. Themes of war and crisis permeate the text and are given singular emphasis, documenting the peculiar way in which capital perpetuates violence and proliferates misery on a world scale. This collection draws upon a careful rereading of Marx's thought in order to elucidate political concerns of the day. Originally written to contribute to the debates of the anticapitalist movement over the last thirty years, this book makes Caffentzis's writings readily available as tools for the struggle in this period of transition to a common future.…

Paperback. Condición: New. A collection of poems spanning six decades of life, love, loss, and rebellion amidst the planetary transformations of the working class and capital, from the acclaimed Marxist philosopher and writer George Caffentzis."I have never considered myself a poet, yet, from my adolescence, poetry has been a constant company in my life. Only recently, however, I have begun to collect poems that I had scattered through notebooks, back-pages of articles and other occasional spaces. The desire to see them as one work is partly stimulated by the recognition of recurring themes, at times in syntony with those inspiring my political writings. Among them are the memories and the nostalgia for the Greek world of my childhood, my grandmother's house facing the Taygetus mountain, the pleasures and troubles of love and political organizing, and, with the passing of years, the mourning of dead friends and comrades, and above all the never-ending pleasure of playing with words. This book collects some of the poems that have accompanied this journey." - George Caffentzis, from the Introduction.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. If we are to understand molecular biopolitics then we must see it working in the participatory mechanism of fascism and today's fascism from below. F hrers and inspired leaders do not seem to be important anymore - the small fascist icons can be as many and as interchangeable as sitcom actors and second-rate soccer champions. Participation is virtual - but killing can be real; you can order a gun with the click of a mouse, but the bullet can blow you to pieces." - Clandestina' Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
