DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nWalter Benjamin today:\n“New 
 Engagements by Anarchists and advocates of Marx's humanism," taking off 
 from Benjamin's "Theses on the Philosophy of History."\n\nWalter Benjamin's 
 "Theses on the Philosophy of History" continues to be a pole of attraction 
 in today's search for a way out of our total crisis. Anarchist Lew Finzel 
 calls it "Insurrectionary Angelology -or- Walter Benjamin Declares Social 
 War." Mohammed Elnaiem's "'We all can't breathe': Reflections on Marx's 
 Humanism and Fanon" saw in Benjamin's imperative "to blast open the 
 continuum of history" a break with the post-Marx-Marxist myth of "progress" 
 and a way to return to Marx's original humanism. Ron Kelch contrasts 
 Benjamin's blasting open the prevailing view of time with Marx's positive 
 view of time as "the space human development" as well as the specific 
 content of "human development" that first shaped Marx's humanism in 
 1844.\n\nSunday, September 20, 2015 - 10:30 am to 12:30 pm\n6501 Telegraph 
 Avenue, Oakland (just North of Alcatraz Ave.)\n\nSeating is limited, so 
 plan to come early. We start promptly.\nFREE - but hat will be passed for 
 donations to NPML\n\nAbout Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\nA weekly 
 discussion series inspired by our respect for the work of Karl Marx and our

 the future as they have been for the past. \n\nFor info or to subscribe to
