A 14 week study with the Revolutions Study Group
The white race remains the most peculiar and contentious identity in American life since its origin in the class struggle of colonial Virginia and Maryland. In The Invention of the White Race Volumes I & II, Theodore W. Allen offers a historical materialist analysis of racial slavery; a system put in place in the decades following the second phase of Bacon’s Rebellion in 1676 when an army of European and African chattel bond laborers burnt Jamestown to the ground and temporarily drove Governor Berkeley into exile across the Chesapeake Bay. In a conscious response to labor solidarity the plantation bourgeoisie enacted a series of laws and practices in the late 17th and early 18th century which first put in place the system of white racial privileges which enabled the imposition of racial slavery and “white” male supremacy. Allen defines racial slavery as a particular form of racial oppression homologous with gender and class oppression. The system of racial privileges defined and established the “white” race as a bourgeois social control formation with consequences ruinous to the interests of the Afro-Americans but also disastrous for the white worker. Allen concludes Volume II with the following message to a new generation of activists: “Perhaps in the impending renewal of the struggle of ‘the common people’ and the ‘Titans,’ the Great Safety Valve of white-skin privileges may finally come to be seen and rejected by laboring-class European-Americans as the incubus that for three centuries has paralyzed their will in defense of their class interests vis-a-vis those of the ruling class.”
The Revolutions Study Group (started at the Brecht Forum) has met since 2009. The groups has recently completed a year-long study of W.E.B. Dubois’ Black Reconstruction. Participants have come and gone, however the group has held together, studying in depth a wide range of history including the French Revolution, the Russian Revolutions of 1905 and 1917, the Mau-Mau Revolt in Kenya, the Haitian Revolution, the 1848 European Revolutions, the May 68 movement in France and the Hot Autumn of Italy and much more.

Public · Hosted by Rise and Resist
Join Rise and Resist as we bring our ABOLISH ICE lights and holiday themed signs to the 96th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting at the New York Stock Exchange. The NYSE Christmas Tree is lit at 5:00 PM. We will be meeting at 4:00PM at Federal Hall on the NE corner of Wall St. and Broad St.
We will remind the revelers that seeking asylum is a human right, and that the United States must stop detaining and deporting immigrants.
We will also hold accountable the corporations (some of which are traded on the NYSE) that are Border Patrol or ICE contractors. These companies profit from Trump's immoral and nationalist immigration policies.
The tree lighting ceremony includes entertainment and a sound stage. Rise and Resist is not planning to disrupt the cultural program but will hold a quiet light and sign bearing vigil.
The closest subway stations are Wall St. on the #2, #3 or Wall St. on the #4, #5. The nearest accessible station is Fulton St. (#2, #3, #4, #5, A, C, J, Z).

We have a NEW LOCATION for the Peace Action Holiday Gathering
Thursday, December 5 (6:30 to 8:30 pm), at the Bernie Wohl Center,
647 Columbus Avenue (between [WEST] 91st and [WEST] 92nd Street). This is only 3 blocks from our usual meeting place, which is undergoing renovations, at [WEST] 88th Street. Please note the change.
At our Holiday Gathering, we will be honoring the Kings Bay Plowshares 7. Seven Catholic activists entered Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in St. Mary’s, Georgia on April 4th, 2018, the 50th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In a November 15th interview with Democracy Now!, Martha Hennessy, one of the Seven and granddaughter of Catholic Worker founder Dorothy Day said, "...the Pope has said it’s not enough to simply speak out against nuclear weapons; we must act. We must walk. We walked onto that base. We need to raise a voice very clearly and even be willing to put our bodies on the line to help the world to understand that the malevolence, the secrecy, the lack of democracy from beginning to end with this nuclear arsenal, the production, the maintaining, the threat of using—it’s the greatest evil in the world that any of us can face in our lifetimes."
Light Holiday Fare will be served. The event is free and open to the public.

On January 8 and 9 of this year, 150 million workers went on a general strike in India, the biggest work stoppage in history. This strike marked another first when agricultural workers and small farmers calling for a solidarity shutdown of rural India joined the striking workers from many sectors including manufacturing, mining, energy, transportation, banking, public services, construction, and many more. These 150 million striking Indian workers corresponds roughly to the total working population of the United States. Here in the U.S. during 2018 a record number of workers went on strike or stopped working because of labor disputes—485,000 workers from major sectors were involved over that year. This was the largest number of workers on strike or work stoppages since 1986, when flight attendants, garbage collectors, and steelworkers walked off the job. Although the international rumblings of a wakening proletariat are of greater or smaller magnitude they indicate the possibility of the workers of all lands to unite on a scale like never before, and in numbers Marx and Engels could only dream of when they wrote these closing words to The Communist Manifesto in 1848. “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to gain. Working Men of All Countries, Unite!”
During their lives working together, Marx and Engels kept abreast of all working class movements and developments within all societies that they could get news from. Their work in doing so predates their partnership as anti-capitalist revolutionaries, but flourished especially upon meeting and thereafter. As Engels stated at the grave of Marx in 1883:
“…Marx was before all else a revolutionist. His real mission in life was to contribute, in one way or another, to the overthrow of capitalist society and of the state institutions which it had brought into being, to contribute to the liberation of the modern proletariat, which he was the first to make conscious of its own position and its needs, conscious of the conditions of its emancipation. Fighting was his element. And he fought with a passion, a tenacity and a success such as few could rival. His work on the first Rheinische Zeitung (1842), the Paris Vorwarts (1844), the Deutsche Brusseler Zeitung (1847), the Neue Rheinische Zeitung (1848-49), the New York Tribune (1852-61), and, in addition to these, a host of militant pamphlets, work in organizations in Paris, Brussels and London, and finally, crowning all, the formation of the great International Working Men’s Association — this was indeed an achievement of which its founder might well have been proud even if he had done nothing else.
“And, consequently, Marx was the best hated and most calumniated man of his time. Governments, both absolutist and republican, deported him from their territories. Bourgeois, whether conservative or ultra-democratic, vied with one another in heaping slanders upon him. All this he brushed aside as though it were a cobweb, ignoring it, answering only when extreme necessity compelled him. And he died beloved, revered and mourned by millions of revolutionary fellow workers….”
This term we begin the careful reading of the investigative journalism, political works, and organizational correspondence within the revolutionary movements by both Marx and Engels. We will begin with early works. As we begin, we shall read Frederich Engels’ The Condition of the Working Class in England which as Eric Hobsbawm stated “is the first book in Britain or any other country which dealt with the working class as a whole and not merely with particular sections and industries. Secondly, and more important, it was not merely a survey of working class conditions, but a general analysis of the evolution of industrial capitalism, of the social impact of industrialization and its political and social consequences — including the rise of the labor movement. In fact, it was the first large-scale attempt to apply the Marxist method to the concrete study of society, and probably the first work by either Marx or Engels which the founders of Marxism regarded as sufficiently valuable to merit permanent preservation.
As a guide to our readings over several terms of study, we shall read from the Karl Marx’s Theory of Revolution series written over many years by Hal Draper. As Draper states in his introduction to the work:
“…the answer to pseudodemocracy is real democracy; the abuses of “scientism” can be countered only by a genuinely scientific attitude; and the obfuscations of various contemporary ‘Marxisms’ can be understood only with the help of Marx’s Marxism…”
Between this May and through our spring and summer terms of this study the plan is the read The Condition of the English Working Class, The German Ideology, and selections of works by the young Marx and Engels leading up to the revolutions of 1848. We will begin the fall term continuing with the works of Draper and a careful reading of The Communist Manifesto, followed by Class Struggles in France and The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, along with selections from Marx and Engels journalism and reports of various activities throughout the world at the time of this revolutionary wave, including their beginning assessments of anarchism, utopian socialists and more.

Allen offers a historical materialist analysis of racial slavery; a system put in place in the decades following the second phase of Bacon’s Rebellion in 1676 when an army of European and African chattel bond laborers burnt Jamestown to the ground and temporarily drove Governor Berkeley into exile across the Chesapeake Bay. In a conscious response to labor solidarity the plantation bourgeoisie enacted a series of laws and practices in the late 17th and early 18th century which first put in place the system of white racial privileges which enabled the imposition of racial slavery and “white” male supremacy. Allen defines racial slavery as a particular form of racial oppression homologous with gender and class oppression. The system of racial privileges defined and established the “white” race as a bourgeois social control formation with consequences ruinous to the interests of the Afro-Americans but also disastrous for the white worker. Allen concludes Volume II with the following message to a new generation of activists: “Perhaps in the impending renewal of the struggle of ‘the common people’ and the ‘Titans,’ the Great Safety Valve of white-skin privileges may finally come to be seen and rejected by laboring-class European-Americans as the incubus that for three centuries has paralyzed their will in defense of their class interests vis-a-vis those of the ruling class.”
The Revolutions Study Group (started at the Brecht Forum) has met since 2009. The groups has recently completed a year-long study of W.E.B. Dubois’ Black Reconstruction. Participants have come and gone, however the group has held together, studying in depth a wide range of history including the French Revolution, the Russian Revolutions of 1905 and 1917, the Mau-Mau Revolt in Kenya, the Haitian Revolution, the 1848 European Revolutions, the May 68 movement in France and the Hot Autumn of Italy and much more.
