The man made catastrophe called climate change is already a reality for many people. This catastrophe hits those hardest, who have the least capacities of adapting to it – and the least responsibility of creating it. Given this situation, how can we cooperate across borders to tackle the climate crisis? ...
In order to obtain the general value form from the unfolded value form, only the simple operation of reversal is required, which implies that we are dealing virtually with a simultaneous second and third value form. Now commodity A no longer expresses its value (as in the ...
On the one hand, we take a look at the so-called capital-logical reading (which has been widely discussed since the 1968 student movement, especially in Germany, based on Hans-Georg Backhaus as an analysis of value forms, cf. Backhaus 1997/ Elbe 2008) and on the other ...
Within the framework of value form analysis, Marx is not concerned with analyzing the exchange relationships of goods, whether as historical or logical, or as historical-logical forms of exchange, since capitalist exchange relationships with their quantified units and relations are already assumed in the ...
Es schien alles so schön anzufangen und die Herzen der Freunde der traditionellen Formen des Klassenkampfes schlugen schon höher. Am 5. Dezember versammelten sich in Frankreich landesweit um die 1 Million Menschen zu Demonstrationen (1) gegen die geplanten „Reformen“ bei der Rentenversicherung. Gleichzeitig kam es zu Arbeitsniederlegungen bei der Bahn ...

Die Übersetzung der folgenden Zeilen über den jüngsten Aufstand im Iran macht aus meiner Sicht in vielerlei Hinsicht Sinn.
Erstens weil sie nicht von einem gänzlich Außenstehenden stammt, ergo im weitesten Sinne als oral history begriffen werden kann.
Zweitens, weil Berichte über das Geschehen im Iran weitgehend Mangelware sind. Die ...
Der diesjährige Jahrestag der Ermordung von Alexis verlief in Athen in vielerlei Hinsicht anders als in den letzten Jahren, was sowohl am politischen Kontext als auch an neuer taktischer Feinjustierung der antagonistischen Splitter lag.
Seit dem Regierungsantritt der neuen rechten Regierung sind zahlreiche besetzte Häuser in Athen geräumt worden, die ...
Die Klimabewegung muss künftig über das Verhältnis zum Kapitalismus reden, um nicht in das System integriert zu werden
Nun wurde auch Greta Thunberg zur Person des Jahres gekürt. Das ist vielleicht eine gute Nachricht für die globale Klimabewegung. Aber in einem anderen Sinne, als wohl manche ihrer Fans glauben. Denn, ...

McKenzie Wark writes in his current contribution to the new text of the Invisible Committee “To Our Friends” that the state has produced the anarchist Black Block as the negative subject of the state itself. If we assume that today capital launches subjectivities as the auto industry launches new collections ...
Can Trump reverse or even dent this long-term evisceration of “America”? The short answer is no. So far, his policies have only hastened this evisceration, accelerating the upward redistribution of income and amplifying the de-Americanization of U.S. corporations. During his three years in office, the share of foreign profit, instead ...

How to spot an analog philosopher? First look at his attachments… What does he love the most?
Analog philosophers value life and vitality, and thus have a special affection for nature. They talk about energy and aliveness, but also the same thing in reverse, dissipation and death. The ugliest ugly ...
1) For Laruelle, philosophy always revolves around dualities or differences, being – other, theory – practice, ontic-ontological, etc.
2) Laruelle leaves this terrain to fully invest his thinking power in the solutions of the One’s problem, or more precisely to develop an irreversible thinking in one or according to the ...

Am vergangenen Donnerstag beteiligten sich um die 1 Million Menschen in Frankreich an den landesweiten Demonstrationen gegen die Pläne der Regierung, die Rentenversicherung zu „reformieren“, sprich das Eintrittsalter zu erhöhen und die Bezüge zu kürzen. (1) Ausgenommen werden sollen lediglich die Angehörigen der Polizei, wie die Regierung unmittelbar vor ...
One should by no means identify the abstract time of capital with a linear and homogeneous order of time, in which, in a continuous flow of time running ahead on the time stream, each time stage simultaneously excludes the other (past – present – future), ergo with a linear time, ...

Today, on the one hand, we are seeing rising rents and the infamous gentrification, vertical housing construction and expensive condominiums in the centres of large cities, monstrous large-scale projects and massive urbanization processes in the emerging countries and peripheries, and on the other hand, the increase in urban poverty, vacancies ...
Andrés Abril – Lobo suelto! (17/10/2019)
Things among things, the Bloom holds itself outside of everything in a forsaking identical to that of our universe. It is alone in all company and naked at all events. It is there that it reposes, in the extenuated ignorance of self, of its ...

In his book How Noise Matters to Finance, which is well worth reading, Knouf points first and foremost to traditional ideas about the stock market, such as the control of the market by the famous invisible hand, the dreams of balance, transparency, explainable price movements and correct prices, All in ...
Even for Marx, an important consequence of extracting added value in the production of goods is that the added value is transformed into what we now call an asset. In this context, the asset is a means of preserving added value on the one hand and of accumulating it on ...
Cue the TERF wars. The coming responses to Andrea Long Chu’s book Females — there will be many so get ready — are so predictable they practically write themselves. Some will most certainly object to Chu defining female via the negative, any negative. And anyway, they will claim, only an ...
