    JimmyJazz,

    Hi, sorry I didn't get to your post sooner -- just seeing it now....

    I checked out that Amazon page about the book -- pretty interesting! Kinda funny that it's a recursive, or self-referencing thing -- he's a Marxist doing commerce by doing commerce about Marxism!

    I think this sort of thing tends to puzzle newer people around revolutionary politics because they think it's a contradiction or something. Obviously, in this case the guy's doing political work by doing commerce -- kind of rare unless it's political materials like pamphlets, buttons, stickers, and stuff.

    As far as I know Marxists impose no limits on individual wherewithal -- more to the point, though, is what kind of political work is one doing, given all the other activities in one's life?

    And, to finally respond to nvm's question there, I am in touch with the Workers International League, which is affiliated with the IMT.

    Thanks, take care....

    Your avatar makes me curious...have you ever heard of this book (click on the book preview and read the first few pages)?

    It's Bertell Ollman's recounting of how he created a board game called "Class Struggle".

Political Statement
[1] The sun shines down at just the right intensity -- neither too little or too much -- to force an intricate interplay of organic materials animated by the sun's energy. The living processes build up to higher levels of nestedness, interdependence, and complexity. The abundance of available food and source materials -- varying depending on location and era -- allows each organism ample time outside of securing necessities to become increasingly aware and conscious of greater depths of complexity in the external (and internal) world(s). Greater consciousness yields greater abilities and at some point humanity began to procure more food than it could consume in realtime. This development gave rise to a separation of roles in society whereby some could spend more time increasing their awareness while others worked to produce the food for all of society. Those relieved of having to work rationalized themselves as somehow different and better than all other people, and explained their privilege by inventing fictional supernatural beings, or a single supernatural being, who conveniently backed up their reasoning. They consolidated their privileged social position with the use of violent physical force, which the fictional supernatural beings or being said was okay. Meanwhile the rest of humanity has either been working or trying to enjoy their more-or-less similar physical existence as everyone else. Much time and effort, though, is unrecoverably lost due to the existence of those in privileged positions.

[2] I am personally *not* in a privileged position.

[3] Therefore it is in my own best personal interest to co-produce a social world that is relieved of the class division.

[4] Therefore I am a Marxist and active at RevLeft.com.
