Joris Leverink | roarmag.org | 2021-05-28
"What is the Commune, that Sphinx so tantalizing to the bourgeois mind?" Karl Marx asked in The Civil War in France, his manifesto-like analysis written for the International Workers' Association. For the case of the Paris Commune, which lasted for barely 72 days between March 18 and May 28, 1871, Marx seemed to have his answer ready: "Its true secret was this. It was essentially a working-class government, the product of the struggle of the producing against the appropriating class, the political form at last discovered under which to work out the economical emancipation of labor." | What happened, according to…

The Ceuta 'invasion': Exploiting young Moroccans desperate for a future
Dick Nichols | greenleft.org.au | 2021-05-27
