"We miss Asad greatly, and we remain inspired by him. We also take comfort in the knowledge that his life’s work – the search for truth, political and philosophical – will be carried on by so many others who were lucky enough to encounter him." histcon.ucsc.edu/people/alum…

In the fall of 1984, when he was a new doctoral student at Harvard, Noel Ignatiev submitted an essay for an independent study. Entitled “Present Depths,” the paper surveyed the rapid and cataclysmic changes then taking place across US society.

A brilliant essay from Noel Ignatiev, reflecting on two decades of work and struggle in heavy industry. In every workplace, anywhere, there are "thousands, millions" of daily skirmishes that shape the field of political possibility. Can we see them? longhaulmag.com/present-dept…

I was revisiting the Asad Haider's (@viewpointmag) articles on the Oakland Commune. Just wanted to share this one. "The next time Occupy Wall Street sends money to Occupy Oakland, the general assembly may want to consider investing it in a helicopter" viewpointmag.com/2012/01/29/…

"The brilliant basic idea of May Day is the autonomous, immediate stepping forward of the proletarian masses, the political mass action of the millions of workers who otherwise are atomized by the barriers of the state in the day-to-day parliamentary affairs"

The unrealized collaboration between Godard and Robert Linhart on a multi-part visual history of work made for television is one of the more interesting missed opportunities in post-68 filmmaking, at least we have traces of it

New Dig ep: Ben Mabie and Salar Mohandesi on what war on Iran tells us about US imperialism, and why US doesn’t have a massive anti-war movement even amid high anti-war public sentiment. We must make movements that can thrive and win under new conditions. thedigradio.com/podcast/anti…

Excellent interview with Ben Mabie & Salar Mohandesi about how imperialism has evolved since the time of Hobson, Luxemburg & Lenin, and why there is currently no significant anti-war movement in the US despite broad public opposition to the war on Iran. thedigradio.com/podcast/anti…
