Published in 1958, this is the first expression in book form of Raya Dunayevskaya s Marxist Humanism. A central theme of Marxism and Freedom is Dunayevskaya s assertion that the movement from practice is itself a form of theory . This concept was developed by Dunayevskaya from a direct encounter with Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel Hegel s dialectical philosophy and particularly his Absolute philosophy Absolute s, which she interpreted as posing a dual movement from Praxis Marxism practice to theory , and from theory to practice. Blacks, workers, women, and youth struggling for freedom were not faceless masses to be led, she held, but the source of new stages of cognition because in their very actions was embedded a theory of human Revolution liberation . One example of this is the West Virginia Miners General Strike of 1949 1950, where Dunayevskaya pointed out that instead of merely demanding higher wages, the workers were asking questions such as, What kind of labor should man do? and Why should there be such a gulf between thinking and doing? She based the book s structure on her view that history and theory emanate from the movement from practice. The book aimed to establish the theory of Marxism ... worker revolt.

  1. Political Marxism

    Political Marxism PM is a strand of Marxist theory that places history at the centre of its analysis. It was developed as a reaction against ahistorical models of Marxist analysis in the debate on the origins of capitalism.

In this context, Robert Brenner and Ellen Meiksins Wood Ellen Wood founded PM as a distinct approach to rehistoricise and repoliticise the Marxist project. It was a movement away from structuralist and timeless accounts towards historical specificity as contested process and lived praxis.

  1. Rethinking Marxism

    primarysources date March 2010 Rethinking Marxism is a Marxist quarterly journal of economics, culture and society. It was launched in 1988 and since 2003 Volume 15 it has been published by Taylor and Francis . Founded mainly by the professors and graduate students of the Department of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst , the first issue of Rethinking Marxism appeared in 1988, just before the dissolution of the Soviet Union began. The journal quickly became an influential academic platform for Althusserian Marxism in the North American context. Even though the journal was launched by a group of economists among others, Stephen Resnick , Richard D. Wolff , Jack Amariglio , David Ruccio and continues to regularly publish articles in the various sub fields of Marxian economics , such as the labor theory of value , class analysis , and crisis theory , Rethinking Marxism does not have an exclusive economics focus. It is perhaps better to describe it as a journal of Marxian theory that makes it a point to rethink and develop Marxian analyses of capitalism , imperialism and alternatives to capitalism. Rethinking Marxism is also well known for its sustained efforts to showcase contemporary art practices. Each issue of the journal presents an original work by a contemporary artist e.g., Martha Rosler , Mark Lombardi . From 1989 to 1998, the editor of the journal was Jack Amariglio .

  1. Legal Marxism

    Legal Marxism was a Russia n Marxism Marxist movement based on a particular interpretation of Marxist theory whose proponents were active in socialist circles between 1894 and 1901. The movement s primary theoreticians were Pyotr Struve , Nikolai Berdyaev , Sergei Bulgakov , Mikhail Tugan Baranovsky and Semyon Frank . The name was derived from the fact that its supporters promoted their ideas in legal publications. Unlike the earlier generation of Russian socialists known as narodniks populists , who emphasized the role of the peasantry in transitioning to socialism, Legal Marxists used the economic theory of Karl Marx to argue that the development of capitalism in the Russian Empire was both inevitable and beneficial. As Struve put it, they provided a justification for capitalism in Russia. Legal Marxists held numerous open debates from the mid 1890s through the early 1900s, notably at the Free Economic Society in Saint Petersburg , and published three magazines between 1897 and 1901, all of them eventually suppressed by the imperial government Novoye Slovo 1897 Nachalo 1899 Zhizn 1899 1901, resumed abroad in 1902 Legal Marxists became particularly influential after the arrest and imprisonment of the leaders of the revolutionary wing of Russian Marxism including Julius Martov and Vladimir Lenin in 1895 1896.

Lenin 1917 believed that in a capitalist state, the system focuses on resolving disputes within the ruling bourgeoisie class and ignores the interests of the proletariat or labour class which are not represented and therefore dependent on the bourgeoisie s good will blockquote Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich that is the democracy of capitalist society.

  1. Freudo-Marxism

    Freudo Marxism is a loose designation of several twentieth century critical theory schools of thought that sought to synthesize the philosophy and political economy of Karl Marx with the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud . Freudo Marxism seeks to use the tools of psychoanalysis to diagnose the ills of society. Just as Freudianism views an individual s ego and super ego as shaped by his unconscious id, Marxism views a society s culture and institutions as shaped by its underlying economic system. Thus a society s economic system and its relations of production function as its unconscious id a society s culture functions as its ego and a society s legal system, police and military function as its super ego. From this point, Freudo Marxism aims to reveal the illness of a society s underlying economic system by analyzing its cultural products.
