"By excavating the urban struggles of 1970s Italy with a spatialized understanding of Operaismo’s signature theoretical contribution––class composition––the book provides both an important contribution to radical urban history and a window into how current urban struggles might be theorized." ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥

“What is interesting is that [The American Worker] pamphlet was a ‘new form of proletarian literature' and predicts the emergence of an entire working-class culture talking about work, an entire zine culture talking about people's lives and experiences."

“Amplifying forms of informal and formal organizing the workplace, amplifying and circulating struggles and informal practices of time theft or insubordination, all those things can only be understood from the perspective of the workers themselves." On the @librarypunk.bsky.social

Join us at @maydayrooms in London on Monday 10 November for an event on a new form of proletarian literature that emerged from American automotive plants in 1947. Please register here and tell all your friends: events.maydayrooms.org/e/71/searchi...

When Marxist and author of The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L’Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution, CLR James was asked to reflect on his own political development he reportedly said that “he didn’t really understand what it meant to be revolutionary until he went to Ireland.”
