2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Readership is way up from 2011. Daniel Guérin remains the most popular author. The Russian Revolution is now the most popular topic. 2012 also saw the publication of Volume Three of Anarchism: A Documentary History of Libertarian Ideas. See you some more in 2013!

Here’s an excerpt:

19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 85,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Critique of "political economy"

I still have to encounter a serious critique of capitalist (and anti-capitalist) political economy that stresses the capitalist system's main nature as a huge gambling casino. As most capitalists cannot know in advance if and how much there will be of a market for the products and services they produce and provide and at what price, they are mostly gamb […]

Egypt: Samospráva v Port Saidu a dělnické boje

Ve městě Port Said se odehrává bezprecedentní situace – kompletní samospráva, odmítnutí všeho, co představuje autoritu.

(en) Britain, Solidarity Federation, Education #9 - Working to contract is not effective with academics

University and College Union (UCU) members in higher education (HE) institutions have recently voted to take action short of a strike over pay (70% in favour), but not strike action (44% in favour). The former (i.e. working to contract) has something very appealing for academics: it sings the air of the armchair industrial action. In my branch at least, memb […]
