The Paris Commune: A Revolution in Democracy by Donny Gluckstein
The Lost Revolution: Germany 1918 - 1923 by Chris Harman
Pannekoek and Gorter's Marxism by D.A. Smart
Autonomy, Solidarity, Possibility: The Colin Ward Reader
Chomsky versus Foucault: A Debate on Human Nature
you might note that the first four are cliffite books and the last two are about anarchists. i secretly like cliffite books because they are really quick reads because they are so schematic. colin ward is an interesting anarchist to me because he supports progressive small nationalisms which is rare in the english-speaking world. otherwise i'm trying to learn more about democracy in general so yeah.
NEWSER -- On his birthday this year, Kim Jong Un reportedly gave every child in North Korea candy, according to CNBC. So what did he get his top officials? Copies of Hitler's Mein Kampf, the Washington Post reports.
The gift was part of a larger effort by Kim to encourage military leaders to study Germany's post-WWI reconstruction, and follow rumors that Kim carefully studied Hitler while attending school in Switzerland.
"Mentioning that Hitler managed to rebuild Germany in a short time following its defeat in World War I, Kim Jong Un issued an order for the Third Reich to be studied in depth and asked that practical applications be drawn from it," a North Korean source told New Focus International.

Kevin “Rashid” Johnson has been transferred again.
Rashid had been held in Oregon’s Orwellian Snake River Correctional Unit – an unvarnished behavior modification programme – since last 2012. In Oregon he had written a series of articles exposing the racism, medical neglect, and psychological abuse to which prisoners in that state are subjected. Like his initial transfer from Virginia to Oregon over a year ago, this latest move – yet again, across the country – is clearly retaliation for his persistence in shining light on abysmal and destructive conditions that prevail in prisons across america.
So now Rashid is in Texas. We don’t know what condition he is in, or what conditions he is being held in, but the time after a transfer is often disorienting, and the prisoncrats and guards often seize the opportunity to practice their malice. For that reason, now is a particularly important time to reach out and let this comrade know that he is in our thoughts – even a postcard with a simple message saying hello would be welcome at a time like this – and in doing so, you also let his current captors know that he is not alone, and that despite their efforts he is not isolated from us.
Write to Rashid at:
Kevin Johnson
TDCJ # 01859887
264 FM Road 3478
Huntsville, TX 77320
Make sure a first and last name are clearly printed in the return address section of the envelope or your mail will be returned. Also, remember not to say anything that would give the guards an excuse to mess with Rashid more than they already are.

Salvation Army unanimous: Mark Snow to be put to death
“ Ryan: According to the Salvation Army gay parents deserve death. How do you respond to that, as part of your doctrine?”
“Craibe: Well, that’s a part of our belief system.”
Ryan: So they should die.”
“Craibe: You know, we have an alignment to the Scriptures, but that’s our belief.”
“Ryan: You’re proposing in your doctrine that because these parents are gay, that they must die.”
“Craibe: Well, well, because that is part of our Christian doctrine “
“Ryan: But how is that Christian? Shouldn’t it be about love?”
sa5“Craibe: Well, the love that we would show is about that: consideration for all human beings to come to know salvation…”
“Ryan Or die…”
“Craibe: Well, yes.”
Major Bruce Harmer, the Army’s Communications and Public Relations Secretary recently issued the following statement;
“The Salvation Army encompasses a diverse community with a wide range of opinions on human sexuality and other subjects. The senior leadership of The Salvation Army continues to reflect on Christian and Biblical tradition, and especially on the themes of justice and mercy, to further deepen the understandings of our own members and build a more healthy relationship with the LGBTQ community. We pledge to continue to offer services to all and to treat each person with dignity, respect and non-discrimination.”

Criticisms
Some neoclassical reviewers contend that Keen has not shown what he claims, that he misrepresents economic theory, and that he gets basic mathematics wrong.
Matthijs Krul maintains that Keen, while broadly accurate in his criticism of the neoclassical synthesis, generally misrepresents Marx's views in Debunking Economics and in earlier work when asserting that, in the production of commodities, machinery produces more value than it costs.

Anyone here read rorty/what do you think of him?
He's OK. Rorty is at his best taking apart naive realism in Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature. His pragmatist theory doesn't work though, it's vulnerable to the same criticisms as relativism (infinite regress of truth statements about truth being community consensus). He also misrepresents Wittgenstein IMO.
