Support Tent State University!

Education, Not War!

Campuses Across the USA, April 18–24, 2005

Across the United States, the right to a public higher education is systematically being denied to our communities. While $150+ billion has already been spent on the war in Iraq, our state and federal governments are systematically de-funding our institutions of higher learning. Tuition continues to skyrocket as the Bush administration wages criminal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is clear evidence of a devastating shift in national spending priorities for which our younger generations are paying dearly.

451 West St. Between Bank & Bethune

1,9,2,3 to 14th st. walk west on 12th st, south on 8th ave, then west on
Bethune st.

Caliban and the Witch:

Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation

Silvia Federici

Caliban and the Witch is a history of the body in the transition to
capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the
witch-hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy, Silvia Federici shows that
the birth of the proletariat required a war against women, inaugurating a new
sexual pact and a new patriarchal era: the patriarchy of the wage. Firmly
rooted in the history of the persecution of the witches and the disciplining
of the body, her arguments explain why the subjugation of women was as crucial
for the formation of the world proletariat as the enclosures of the land, the
conquest and colonization of the ‘New World,’ and the slave trade.

Demonstration Against Indian Facism

New York City, March 20, 2005


Demonstration Against Fascist Leader Narendra
Modi
Responsible for the Massacre of More than 2000 Indians
Madison Square Garden, March 20, 2005 4:30 pm

For more info: email: Coalition Against Genocide, or call: 917 232
8437, or visit coalitionagainstgenocide.org (Please also forward
this alert).

You may remember the massacre of more than 2000
Indians (mostly Muslim and Christian minorities) and
the brutal rapes of hundreds of women and young girls
in March 2002 in the western Indian state of Gujarat
by the forces of the Hindu extremist neo-fascist
movement in India (Hindutva) with full complicity and
support from the State government. Many of us saw that
event as a watershed event (paralleling in our minds,
Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany) in the emergence of
fascism in India. Over the last three years the left
in India have waged a struggle to halt the fascist
forces.


An important victory was the defeat of the fascists in
the 2004 national elections and for the first time,
the left parties won close to 12% of the seats in the
national assembly.


On Sunday, the Hindu right in the U.S. is honoring the
Chief Minister of Gujarat, Mr. Narendra Modi — the
chief orchestrator of the 2002 Gujarat massacre. We
see this as an aggressive effort of the Hindutva
movement to legitimate the "Gujarat experiment" as a
model for the country, and Modi as their ideal leader.
As part of the Coalition Against Genocide, FOIL is
organizing a demonstration outside Madison Sq Gardens
where Modi will be honored. Our goal is simple — the
people outside protesting Mr. Modi must outweigh the
numbers inside listening to him. We need your support
and
active presence to ensure that we have large numbers
of people.

Left Forum 2005
New York City, April 15–17, 2005

As many supporters of the Socialist Scholars Conference know, 7 of the 16 members of that conference's Board of Directors resigned last spring in protest of the lack of democratic and participatory governance procedures.

Nevertheless, we value the two decades-old tradition of the Socialist Scholars Conference and wish the remaining board members well. However, in response to numerous requests from individuals and organizations, we ourselves have decided to sponsor an event, a conference to be held at the CUNY Graduate Center on the weekend of April 15-17, and we are asking you and others to participate with us in this conference.
