Have your ever checked out LeftWord, a press associated with the Indian CPI(M). They recently published one of those thematic anthologies on M&E on India. The question of transition to capital gaining neoliberal relevance.<BR/><BR/>But lots of all kinds of the writing suddenly become relevant. Before the holidays, a blog discussion sent back to review the Gewaltfrage. But in addition to the questions of force and leadership, I found a discussion of 'international' migration of workers' within the then ununified Germany as a force dissolving the old territories and boundaries. A very pertinent topic and they try to shore up the southern boundary with fences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-63979422812524370332008-01-08T21:54:00.000+01:002008-01-08T21:54:00.000+01:00Mr. C.d. - An e-mail correspondent told me the sam...Mr. C.d. - An e-mail correspondent told me the same thing. <BR/><BR/>What I wish is not so much that the infamously arrested edition of Marx and Engels GW go forward - I just wish some bright press printed all of the English language journalism of the two. You'll notice, Marxist.org has put up about a tenth of the journalism on line. And looking through past English collections, the journalism is always collected very selectively. Like, let's throw out the stuff about the Habsburg empire. NO! The deal is, articles that might have seemed boring ten years ago - such as Marx on the cold war between the British and the Persians over Afghanistan - seem pretty hot today. Supposedly, according to Charles Dana, the editor at the New York Herald Tribune, Marx's column was extremely popular and highly regarded, back there in the 1850s and 1860s.Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-63393928034000556722008-01-08T21:32:00.000+01:002008-01-08T21:32:00.000+01:00The Marx Engels Gesamtausgabe, on contrast to the ...The Marx Engels Gesamtausgabe, on contrast to the collected works, publishes each piece in its original. Just for a laugh, I took a look at the current state of progress. You would be able to find all the journalism through 1855. but after that, only about half of the Abteilung containg the journalism is complete.

Or not onilne?<BR/><BR/>While the German Marx Engels Werke translates any works in English or French into German, the English Marx Engels Works uses the original publication. I haven't double checked the articles from the 50s and 60s you mention, but I have vol. 6 at hand, and Engel's The State of Germany, published in The Northern Star in 1846, has the end note 'Reprinted from the newspaper.' As I recall from the prefaces from the Werke, they seem to have aimed to include all verifiable articles and included those pieces of dubious attribution in the appendices. So at least readers with access to a research library should be able to readily find a fairly complete selection of Marx (and Engels) journalism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-33202428510876622172008-01-07T03:15:00.000+01:002008-01-07T03:15:00.000+01:00I imagine Marx, writing for the New York Herald Tr...I imagine Marx, writing for the New York Herald Tribune, called it The London Times as a convenience. As far as I can tell - I should look this up - the articles were written in English. You know, the international radical krewe was quite cavalier about the languages they wrote in. Herzen's first great work was dictated in German, Von aendern Ufer, and others of his works, and Bakunin's, were in French. <BR/><BR/>As for the abolitionists - well, of course there was hypocrisy there, but it wasn't the kind of hypocrisy that was at issue in 1861. The British Liberal establishment had not, up until then, to my knowledge, been all about supporting William Lloyd Garrison. And the abolitionists, god bless em, made their case self-limiting by advocating repeal of the Union, so it wasn't like the North was dallying with separatists. Notice, there was no official abolitionist party of any significance in the North in 1860. John Brown, in his letters before he made his attack, noticed the spirit of compromise abroad and was grieved by the moderation being displayed by his abolitionist friends - one of the reasons for the attack was to rekindle the old radical spirit, which had rather dwindled as Kansas came on line as a non-slave state.Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-5443456798858836052008-01-07T02:55:00.000+01:002008-01-07T02:55:00.000+01:00Drat, finger trouble.

And did Marx <I>really</I> write "the London Times"? There's no such newspaper, it's the Times tout court, and cannot be confused with its sincere flattery imitators like the Times of India or the New York Times if they only stuck with their true names without any passing off. This internal evidence suggests that the excerpt has been edited for US audiences, which raises the question of what other, more material editing has occurred. (Or was that an artefact of being translated into and out of German?)<BR/><BR/>A major point is, though, that "preserving the Union" <I>without</I> abolition was the avowed Unionist objective, and that there was actually hypocrisy involved there on the part of those with that as a hidden agenda. In fact, abolitionism countenanced <I>undercutting</I> the Union, as shown by nullification style developments in Wisconsin after an incident at <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racine%2C_Wisconsin" REL="nofollow">Racine</A>.<BR/><BR/>You might like to read Trollope on North America; he, like Marx, brings out the distinction between the industrial northern states and the agrarian northwest (or "west", in Trollope - he even describes how that was still largely not a cash economy). It isn't widely appeciated now that the "north" was a coalion of two sections, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that intelligent observers knew this at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-65922660734828839712008-01-06T11:04:00.000+01:002008-01-06T11:04:00.000+01:00AZ 128 = CHRONO-SYNCLASTIC INFUNDIBULUM (any detai...AZ 128 = <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sirens_of_Titan" REL="nofollow">CHRONO-SYNCLASTIC INFUNDIBULUM</A> (<EM>any detailed description of this phenomenon would baffle the layman, but any comprehensible explanation would insult an expert</EM>) = <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_chained_arrow_notation" REL="nofollow">CONWAY CHAINED ARROW NOTATION</A> (<EM>AZ-23 CHIC → AZ-87 CHIC LIVE AT THE BUDOKKAN → AZ-25 BUDOKKAN → AZ-71 DID YOU MEAN: BUDOKAN? → AZ-88 GOOGLE:MISSPELLING → AZ121 ORIGIN OF THE NAME "GOOGLE" (fifth link; 1 - 10 of about 2,290,000) → AZ-56 GOOGOLPLEX</EM>) = GATES COMPUTER SCIENCE BUILDING (<EM>AZ-121 ORIGIN OF THE NAME "GOOGLE"</EM>) = <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chic_%28band%29" REL="nofollow">GRABBED THE PRODUCTION REINS</A> (<EM>AZ-23 CHIC</EM>) = JAMES WOOD AND LI'S REVIEWER ENVY = PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY, INC.
