review of 2 books you should grab

[calixto]

I think we all know that the old marxist vocabulary about the "vanguard" and the "proletariat", etc are rather outdated as well are some of the ideals held in traditional, orthodox marxism. This does not mean marxism is not a viable solution to the capitalist bullshit today. I would urge everyone to take a look at two good books i recently read that deal with how marxism is still relevant, and how we can carry it into the future by countering capitalist slander (such as its outdated, no longer is relevant, marxism died with russia, etc).

These books deal primarily with the subject of autonomous marxism. THe first is a great book written by Harry Cleaver and is called "Reading Capital Politically", and the other is called "CyberMarx" by Nick Dyer-Witheford. CyberMarx deals with how both capitalism and marxism use the new technologies - capital by using it to further exploit and autonomous marxism to use it in capital's subversion.

check em out really good

I'll check these books because you're right about original
Marxism being outdated.Although the Communist Manifesto is the basic of everything regarding Socialistic literature.And i am holding it as the most important document in my organisation which proclaimes Social justice,Equality, Brotherhood and Unity as the ultimate ideal we strive to.
