I. Lenin, Samir Amin, and others, in order to confront the rising denial of imperialism on the left. This worldview and its consequences, he writes, has troubling implications not only for the superexploited workers of the periphery, but for all of the workers of the world, and for the internationalist character of contemporary Marxism. | <a class="more-link" href="https://monthlyreview.org/2024/11/01/the-new-denial-of-imperialism-on-the-left/" title="The New Denial of Imperialism

invites readers into a literary exploration of Franz Kafka’s short story, “Josephine the Singer.” After all, as the author notes, “Kafka’s often nightmarish stories reflect many of the social, political, and cultural dynamics inherent under capitalism.” In applying this notion to “Josephine the Singer,” Noakes discovers a tale that describes not only the mechanisms of domination that constrain us, but the possibilities of a new consciousness, and a new world. | <a class="more-link"

this deep dive into the world of artificial intelligence, Pietro Daniel Omodeo employs the frameworks laid out in Matteo Pasquinelli’s <em>The Eye of the Master</em> to weave a sociological history of AI that begins with the class struggles of the Industrial Revolution and continues into the context of early twentieth-century computing, which eventually gave rise our current Information Age. “AI,” he concludes, “sheds light onto the intellectual component of labor in all ages.” | <a class="more-link" href="https://monthlyreview.org/2024/11/01/the-social-dialectics-of-ai/" title="The Social

Burkett’s short correspondence revealed his deep understanding of the throughline tying the ecologically inspired thought of Marx and Engels to the later innovations of Roy Bhaskar, Richard Levins, Richard Lewontin, and others, all the way up to Foster’s own work demonstrating that these developments are not isolated, but part of an evolving ecosocialist tradition. | <a class="more-link" href="https://monthlyreview.org/2024/11/01/my-notes-on-the-return-of-nature/" title="My Notes on ‘The Return of Nature’">more…</a></p> </article> <div class="fix"></div> <div class="sectionwrap"> <span class="section"> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/section/notes-from-the-editors/" rel="tag">Notes from the Editors</a> </span> </div> <article class="post-199896 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-13921 category-volume-76-issue-05-october section-notes-from-the-editors geography-americas geography-global geography-united-states subject-climate-change subject-ecology subject-education subject-marxist-ecology subject-media subject_geography-americas subject_geography-climate-change subject_geography-ecology subject_geography-education subject_geography-geography subject_geography-global subject_geography-marxist-ecology subject_geography-media subject_geography-subject subject_geography-united-states"> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/2024/10/01/mr-076-05-2024-09_1/" class="post-thumnbail"><img width="100" height="146" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20100%20146'%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="attachment-small_thumb size-small_thumb wp-post-image" alt="Monthly Review Volume 76, Number 5 (October 2024)" decoding="async" data-lazy-src="https://p4r4f7y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/MR-076-05-2024-09-100x146.png" /><noscript><img width="100" height="146" src="https://p4r4f7y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/MR-076-05-2024-09-100x146.png" class="attachment-small_thumb size-small_thumb wp-post-image" alt="Monthly Review Volume 76, Number 5 (October 2024)" decoding="async" /></noscript></a> <header> <h2 class="title post-title"><a href="https://monthlyreview.org/2024/10/01/mr-076-05-2024-09_1/">October 2024 (Volume 76, Number 5)</a></h2> </header> <div class="byline"> <div class="mr-byline"><em>by</em> <span class="coauthors"><a href="https://monthlyreview.org/author/monthlyrevieweditors/" title="Posts by The Editors" class="author url fn" rel="author">The Editors</a></span></div> <span class="pubdate"><abbr class="published">(Oct 01, 2024)</abbr></span> <div class="byline-tags"> <span class="subject"> <span class="before">Topics: </span> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/subjects/climate-change/" rel="tag">Climate Change</a> <i class="fas fa-ellipsis-v" style="font-size: 50%"></i> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/subjects/ecology/" rel="tag">Ecology</a> <i class="fas fa-ellipsis-v" style="font-size: 50%"></i> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/subjects/education/" rel="tag">Education</a> <i class="fas fa-ellipsis-v" style="font-size: 50%"></i> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/subjects/marxist-ecology/" rel="tag">Marxist Ecology</a> <i class="fas fa-ellipsis-v" style="font-size: 50%"></i> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/subjects/media/" rel="tag">Media</a> </span> <span class="geography"> <span class="before">Places: </span> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/geography/americas/" rel="tag">Americas</a> <i class="fas fa-ellipsis-v" style="font-size: 50%"></i> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/geography/global/" rel="tag">Global</a> <i class="fas fa-ellipsis-v" style="font-size: 50%"></i> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/geography/americas/united-states/" rel="tag">United States</a> </span> </div> </div> <p>It is undeniable that the rapidly worsening ecological crisis is threatening not only future generations, but the youth of today.

The interview concludes with a message to the ecological left in Brazil and elsewhere: “Whatever solutions there are to the present planetary crisis must, in historical-materialist terms, arise from concrete social formations, on the basis of which the new revolutionary transformations will take place.” | <a class="more-link"

early “Prometheanism” and later “degrowth communism.” This ahistorical interpretation has engendered further critique of ecosocialism and degrowth on the part of self-identified productivist writers, who attempt incorrectly to paint degrowth as a Malthusian project, rather than a realistic effort to live within Earth’s planetary capacities. | <a class="more-link"

Napoletano considers the implications of recent work by Kohei Saito, in which Saito argues that Marx’s thought progressed from early productivism to middle-stage ecosocialism, and finally to degrowth communism. Napoletano concludes, that in arguing for an artificially contrived “epistemological break” between Marx’s supposed early growth-oriented perspective and his later purported “degrowth communism,” Saito fails to recognize Marx’s actual consistent emphasis throughout his work on a dialectically conceived process of <i>sustainable human development</i>, requiring a true social and ecological revolution. | <a class="more-link" href="https://monthlyreview.org/2024/06/01/was-karl-marx-a-degrowth-communist/" title="Was Karl Marx a Degrowth Communist?">more…</a></p> </article> <div class="fix"></div> <div class="sectionwrap"> <span class="section"> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/section/reprise/" rel="tag">Reprise</a> </span> </div> <article class="post-198299 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-13921 category-volume-76-issue-01-may section-reprise geography-global subject-capitalism subject-marxism subject-movements subject-political-economy subject-revolutions subject-socialism subject_geography-capitalism subject_geography-geography subject_geography-global subject_geography-marxism subject_geography-movements subject_geography-political-economy subject_geography-revolutions subject_geography-socialism subject_geography-subject"> <a href="https://monthlyreview.org/2024/05/01/socialism-a-time-to-retreat/" class="post-thumnbail"><img width="100" height="146" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20100%20146'%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="attachment-small_thumb size-small_thumb wp-post-image" alt="Monthly Review Volume 52, Number 4 (September 2000) [PDF]" decoding="async" data-lazy-src="https://p4r4f7y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/MR-052-04-2000-08-100x146.jpg" /><noscript><img width="100" height="146" src="https://p4r4f7y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/MR-052-04-2000-08-100x146.jpg" class="attachment-small_thumb size-small_thumb wp-post-image" alt="Monthly Review Volume 52, Number 4 (September 2000) [PDF]" decoding="async" /></noscript></a> <header> <h2 class="title post-title"><a href="https://monthlyreview.org/2024/05/01/socialism-a-time-to-retreat/">Socialism—A Time to Retreat?
