DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nHOW TO CELEBRATE JULY 4TH: WILLIAM 
 BLAKE, THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THE IDEA OF FREEDOM\n\nThe great English 
 poet William Blake's creative imagination addressed both the greatness and 
 limits of the 1776 American Revolution. Karl Marx singled it out in Capital 
 as the precursor to the great French Revolution, though more recently its 
 importance is diminished by some to a mere counterrevolutionary 
 institutionalization of slavery. Yet the enlightenment ideals that helped 
 to shape 1776 not only animated the French Revolution of 1789 but also the 
 Black Jacobins of the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804. The latter have been 
 singled out as the inspiration for Hegel's foundational Master/Slave 
 dialectic. The Master/Slave paradigm has been a critical take off point for 
 liberatory thought from Kojeve and Sartre to Fanon and DeBeauvoir. We want 
 to revisit how and if Blake, who was forever breaking "mind forged 
 manacles," anticipated and deepened in the Idea of freedom in Hegel and 
 Marx.    \nDiscussion by Lew Finzel and Ron Kelch\n\nSun, July 1, 2018 –
