Repensar Marx e os marxismos, de Marcello Musto, é o livro do mês do Armas da Crítica, o clube do livro da Boitempo.
While political science has probed the ideological, political, economic and even psychological motivations behind the drive to war, socialist theory has made a unique contribution by highlighting the relationship between the development of capitalism and war.
In its brief life, the International Working Men’s Association (IWMA) became the symbol of class struggle and influenced the ideas of millions of workers all over the planet. The 158th anniversary of its birth (1864-2022) offers an important opportunity to reread their resolutions, to learn from the experiences of its protagonists, and to better theorize solutions to our contemporary issues.
Acompanyats per marxòlegs de rellevància internacional, ens endinsem en debats, l’actualitat dels quals, ressona a través de la història.
Presentem un espai per lliurar la batalla de les idees, obert a la participació de totes aquelles persones que es senten properes al projecte de construcció de la Unitat Popular.
Escritos entre 1857 y 1858, los Grundrisse son el primer borrador de la crítica de la economía política de Karl Marx. A pesar de sus vicisitudes editoriales y publicación tardía, estos manuscritos contienen numerosas reflexiones acerca de temas que Marx no pudo desarrollar en ninguna otra parte de su obra y son, por lo tanto, de extrema importancia para una interpretación general de su pensamiento.
Over the years, Professor Musto has built an international intellectual network for research partnership, academic exchange, and public engagement. His research has received financial support from funding bodies in seven countries, including the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada and 25 universities all over the world. Among the projects that received research grants there is a study on alternative socio-economic ideas, and an investigation on the global history of the reception of Marx’s work.

Los Naródniki (revolucionarios rusos que luchaban por la emancipación del campesinado) ya lo decían en 1861: no hay nada más erróneo que la afirmación de que el socialismo sólo es posible en una sociedad burguesa desarrollada. Surge allí donde hay desigualdad y explotación. https://t.co/leTAxPjgp8

It arises wherever there is inequality & exploitation. https://t.co/LyUX3EYInU
