The grievances and anger of this group, it has been said, results from the dislocation of the white working class caused by deindustrialisation and other dynamics of globalisation which have destabilised established social relations and further eroded the position of the white working class.","PeriodicalId":81032,"journal":{"name":"Critique (Clandeboye, Man.)","volume":"14 1","pages":"619 - 635"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86604547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the alternative interpretation presented hereby it is living labour, i.e. the socially necessary labour for the reproduction of a commodity at the time of its exchange which quantitatively determines value, while abstract labour is the result of the reduction of the labour process to a moment of capital accumulation, thus the labour characteristic of the capitalist era. After presenting this interpretation, a critical assessment of the previous two schools is made and its limitations are explored.","PeriodicalId":81032,"journal":{"name":"Critique (Clandeboye, Man.)","volume":"164 1","pages":"557 - 579"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86679706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various supporters of this theory refer to Türkiye (‘Turkey’) as a model for such a sub-imperialist power. We think that both the theory in itself as well as such a characterisation of this Mediterranean country are mistaken. In our view, a more appropriate characterisation for Türkiye would be to call it an advanced capitalist semi-colony. In the following, we will discuss these issues in more detail.","PeriodicalId":81032,"journal":{"name":"Critique (Clandeboye, Man.)","volume":"51 1","pages":"637 - 663"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82130825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Understanding food rationing in colonial India: a prelude to the formation of public distribution system","authors":"S. Sarkar, Sharanya Bhattacharya","doi":"10.1080/03017605.2023.2199585","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03017605.2023.2199585","url":null,"abstract":"The paper presents an alternative theoretical framework to deliver a historical account of the formation of public distribution system (PDS) in India as a wartime food rationing system under colonial rule. It is argued that the origins of food rationing in India can be traced to the historical coagulation of class and non-class effects/struggles arising from colonial-era agrarian class structure, including differential British policy toward the English and Indian poor populations respectively, its response to the agrarian and food crises and the social movements to recognize food security as social need. It follows that the public policy of PDS is not a mere benevolent gesture but the result of contestation and conflict over class and need spaces that make the relation of the state to PDS contingent. Our analysis shows that class matters in explaining PDS. Class struggles and needs struggles spanning the triad of production, distribution and redistribution shape the history and constitution of PDS.","PeriodicalId":81032,"journal":{"name":"Critique (Clandeboye, Man.)","volume":"249 1","pages":"685 - 702"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76802380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Starting with the Citizenship Amendment Act and the protests against its implementation since late 2019 (S. Deb Roy, ‘Locating Gramsci in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh: Perspectives on the Iconic Women’s Protest in India’, Capital & Class, 45:2 (2020), pp. 183–189), the right-wing government faced strong criticism of its poor management of the crisis faced by the migrant workers during the first wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic in India. The recent addition to the wave of people’s movements is the Kisan Andolan (Farmers’ Movement) against the ruling BJP government since September 2020 (See https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/new-farm-bill-2020-who-is-protesting-why/articleshow/78179693.cms [Accessed 30 March 2023]). The largest democracy in the world has been gripped by a massive wave of protests by the agrarian populace at the borders of Delhi, the capital of India. The popular movement against the ruling Central Government led by the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) is rooted in the recently passed farm laws, namely the ‘Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020’ (See http://egazette.nic.in/WriteReadData/2020/222039.pdf [Accessed 30 March 2023]); the ‘Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020’ (See https://www.prsindia.org/billtrack/farmers-empowerment-and-protection-agreement-price-assurance-and-farm-services-bill-2020 [Accessed 30 March 2023]); and the ‘Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020’ (See https://www.prsindia.org/billtrack/essential-commodities-amendment-bill-2020#:~:text=The%20Essential%20Commodities%20(Amendment)%20Ordinance%2C%202020%20allows%20the%20central,is%20a%20steep%20price%20rise [Accessed 30 March 2023]).

{"title":"Engelsianism, Second Internationalism, and the Loss of Marx’s Critical Method","authors":"C. Byron","doi":"10.1080/03017605.2023.2199584","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03017605.2023.2199584","url":null,"abstract":"This essay argues that the predominant view of ‘Marxism’ was largely shaped by Engels and the Second International. The predominant view of Marxism includes a metaphysical theory (Dialectical Materialism) and a Scientific Theory (Historical Materialism). Marx never used either phrase. Moreover, a close reading of his mature works and letters reveals that he explicitly rejected the content of those theories. Hence, in the shaping of ‘Marxism’, a series of confusions and inaccuracies about history and economic development were attributed to Marx. One source of miscommunication was Engels, who seems to have misunderstood Marx’s theories in Capital. Moreover, Engels’ writings provide the origin point for ‘Dialectical’ and ‘Historical Materialism’. These attributions to Marx were taken up by Lenin and Trotsky in the Second International. Unlike Engels, Lenin and the Second International had access to few of Marx’s writings, so they had to rely on Engels’ proclamations on Marx’s work for their understanding of ‘Marxism’. Subsequently, ‘Marxism’ has been perverted, as it relates to Marx’s actual method of analysis and presentation, in his critical engagement with capitalism. In this essay the author charts the miscommunication of Marx’s theories, and then provides the reader with Marx’s actual critical method for analyzing Capitalism.","PeriodicalId":81032,"journal":{"name":"Critique (Clandeboye, Man.)","volume":"44 6 1","pages":"535 - 556"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90112339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It does so by examining the immediate and underlying causes of capital’s cost-of-living crisis. It is argued that both immediate and underlying causes link the cost-of-living crisis to its basis in relations of capitalist parasitism and worker impoverishment that characterise present-day capitalism.","PeriodicalId":81032,"journal":{"name":"Critique (Clandeboye, Man.)","volume":"15 1","pages":"581 - 598"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73097755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To provide an answer to this question I discuss three main areas in which his thinking about the common emerges – his anthropology, philosophy of the urban, and politics of autogestion. This allows me to emphasize the multidimensionality of the Lefebvre-minded commoning, which manifests itself not only at the level of local activism but also touches the dimensions of the production of subjectivity and the constitution of the urban. Read in this way, Lefebvre’s theory of urban commoning helps us to move beyond some of the limitations of the existing discussion of urban commons, as well as to make room for a more fruitful dialogue between urban scholars and autonomist Marxists. It also equips us with an alternative conceptual framework that potentially enhances post-Lefebvrian projects of direct urban democracy.","PeriodicalId":81032,"journal":{"name":"Critique (Clandeboye, Man.)","volume":"93 1","pages":"703 - 725"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85219108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we focus on the manufacture of the World Cup ball through the lens of commodity fetishism and the journey that the football makes to become a commodity. Three aspects of this journey are outlined: symbolic fetish of the World Cup ball in the build-up to tournaments; scientific fetish in the corporate marketing of footballs; and corporate fetish in the form of corporate social responsibility. It is concluded that each aspect together and taken in isolation are mechanisms through which commodity fetishism operates to fragment understanding of systemic contradictions between profit and social justice and obscure the nature of exploitation in the industry that produces footballs, placing limits on intervening policies when they arise.","PeriodicalId":81032,"journal":{"name":"Critique (Clandeboye, Man.)","volume":"37 1","pages":"727 - 738"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87312022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
