Great answer to a question I'm asked a lot when I try to explain the difference between markets and capitalism.

Is China still a socialist country? Is China interested in taking over the world? These are the questions the journalist Li Jingjing asked me to clarify. And so I did (over our 30 minute conversation): www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnoe...

Ceasefire? Israel has already annexed more than half of the territory of Gaza. This is a war crime based on the UN Security Council Resolution 242 (S/RES/242) of November 1967.

Working on three essays:
1. Gramsci as a Communist intellectual and not as a cultural studies icon.
2. On Gramsci's grave.
3. On the Marxism of Defeat. Trying to excavate the Marxism of class struggle & not of desolation.
These are preparing me to write a book on the Marxism of National Liberation.
