DESCRIPTION:The Direct Action Monterey Network is teaming up with Old Capitol Books and 
 the Monterey Community Education Project to offer a free series of seminars 
 and discussion on social theory and history.\n\n--What is Marxist 
 Feminism?, Friday 3 November\n--A New Idea: The Paris Commune of 1871, 
 Friday 10 November\n--Understanding Post-Colonial Theory, Friday 17 
 November\n\nA New Idea: The Paris Commune of 1871\nFriday 10 November 2017, 
 7pm\nFacilitated by Jeffrey Erwin\n \n    In the aftermath of the fall of 
 the Second Empire, a mass uprising turned over the city of Paris to 
 revolutionaries: Jacobins, Blanquists (authoritarian socialists) and 
 Proudhonists took the leadership of a decentralized and radical government. 
 This experiment was to last but two months before it was destroyed by 
 military remnants of the French state and the mistakes of the Commune’s 
 leadership. Yet the lessons of the Commune were long-lasting, contributing 
 to the theories of (and divisions between) Marxists, Anarchists, and other 
 movements of the Left.\n  \n    We will read and discuss first hand 
 accounts, poetry, divergent analysis, and other texts of the time and 
 aftermath.\n \nReadings (available for free at oldcapitolbooks.com):\n \n   
  Mikhail Bakunin, “The Paris Commune and the Idea of the State”\n    
 More TBA\n\nThis event is free and open to everyone.\n\nIn the past, the 
 TCAS seminars have included led discussion groups around readings 
 addressing Polyamory, Anarchism, Prisons & Incarceration, Alternative 
 Sexualities, Understanding Fascism, and Revolutionizing Education (just to 
 name a few).  This fall we’re moving into our fourteenth series of TCAS 
 and it’s a great hit!\n\n    These series of seminar sessions have been 
 put together to encourage the exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge 
 surrounding a particular topic or theme. We want to create a place where 
 people can meet with other people from Monterey Bay communities to talk 
 about current events and discuss new philosophies and ways of thinking 
 critically about society. Though these seminars have been designed for 
 non-students, and for those of us who have had little or no college 
 experience, everyone is invited to participate. We believe that everyone 
 can have something to offer to the seminars as we move through current 
 debates in politics and different political and social theories.\n
