The Worker Elite Notes on the Labor Aristocracy

The Worker Elite Notes on the Labor Aristocracy
- Bromma, "The Worker Elite: Notes on the Labor Aristocracy"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 189494657X | PDF | pages: 48 | 0.8 mb
Revolutionaries often say that the working class holds the key to overthrowing capitalism. But "working class" is a very broad category-so broad that it can be used to justify a whole range of political agendas.The Worker Elite: Notes on the "Labor Aristocracy" breaks it all down, criticizing opportunists who minimize the role of privilege within the working class, while also challenging simplistic Third Worldist analyses.In this provocative study, Bromma highlights the stratification of the working class under modern capitalism, using examples from specific industries and historical events to illustrate the development and key characteristics of the worker elite. He argues that this privileged layer has evolved into a mass middle class with multiple functions in the imperialist system, including attacking and misdirecting the struggles of the global proletariat.Subjects addressed in this accessible and easy-to-read primer include:* changes in the international division of labor and in the structure of income inequality* political and economic aspects of class* gender and nation as determinants and expressions of class* the nature of privilege and parasitism* the worker elite's relationship to intellectuals, trade unions, the proletariat, and the bourgeoisie* strategic implications for revolutionaries of the worker elite's current hegemony over the proletariatAs Bromma concludes, "Class struggle is going on every day inside the working class. It's time to choose where our class loyalty lies-with the proletariat or with its minders in the worker elite."

The Wisdom of Syria's Waiting Game Foreign Policy Under the Assads

The Wisdom of Syria's Waiting Game Foreign Policy Under the Assads
Bente Scheller, "The Wisdom of Syria's Waiting Game: Foreign Policy Under the Assads"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1849042861 | PDF | pages: 277 | 1.6 mb
Syrian foreign policy, always opaque, has become an even greater puzzle during the Syrian revolt. Irrespective of the regime's international isolation in the wake of its violent response to domestic protest, it has paid lip-service to international peace plans while unperturbedly crushing the rebellion. The rare televised appearances of President Assad have shown a leader detached from reality. Has he-in his own words-'gone crazy'? In this book long- time Syria analyst and former diplomat Bente Scheller contends that Bashar Assad's deadly waiting game is following its own logic: whatever difficulties the Syrian regime has faced, its previous experience has been that it can simply sit out the current crisis.

The Wanderer The Last American Slave Ship and the Conspiracy That Set Its Sails

The Wanderer The Last American Slave Ship and the Conspiracy That Set Its Sails
The Wanderer: The Last American Slave Ship and the Conspiracy That Set Its Sails By Erik Calonius
2006 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 0312343477 | PDF | 21 MB
On Nov. 28, 1858, a ship called the Wanderer slipped silently into a coastal channel and unloaded its cargo of over 400 African slaves onto Jekyll Island, Georgia, thirty eight years after the African slave trade had been made illegal. It was the last ship ever to bring a cargo of African slaves to American soil. Built in 1856, the Wanderer began life as a luxury racing yacht, flying the pennant of the New York Yacht Club and cited as the successor to the famous yacht America. But within a year of its creation, the Wanderer was secretly converted into a slave ship, and, with the New York Yacht Club pennant still flying above as a diversion, sailed off to Africa. The Wanderer's mission was meant to be more than a slaving venture, however. It was designed by its radical conspirators to defy the federal government and speed the nation's descent into civil war. The New York Times first reported the story as a hoax; however, as groups of Africans began to appear in the small towns surrounding Savannah, the story of the Wanderer began to leak out; igniting a fire of protest and debate that made headlines throughout the nation and across the Atlantic. As the story shifts between Savannah, Jekyll Island, the Congo River, London, and New York City, the Wanderer's tale is played out in heated Southern courtrooms, the offices of the New York Times, The White House, the slave markets of Africa and some of the most charming homes Southern royalty had to offer. In a gripping account of the high seas and the high life in New York and Savannah, Erik Calonius brings to light one of the most important and little remembered stories of the Civil War period.
