Yesterday Einar posted a series of Insta-Stories of Raphael Weinroth-Browne performing a beautiful melody, and Einar tagged both Raphael & Leprous. As you might remember, Raphael first contributed with Leprous playing in the "Malina" album, and he toured Europe & the USA with the band.

We’re thrilled to be performing in Newfoundland for the first time ever this month at @grosmornemusic!

Presenting an editorial twitter thread (the first!) by Science & Society Editor David Laibman on three articles from our archives on historical democratic mobilization in Communist organizations: ... [1/10]

*Science & Society* published three remarkable articles, at different times. But read together, they tell an important story. [2/10]

Let’s begin with “Revolutionary Shanghai: Rethinking Class and the Politics of Difference through Chinese Communism” by Wai Kit Choi from our Summer 2009 issue. Read online for free JSTOR : jstor.org/stable/40404551 [3/10]

JSTOR And “Factory Cells and the Red Aid Movement: Factory and Neighborhood Forms of Organization and Resistance to Fascism in Turin, 1922-1926” by Antonio Sonnessa from our Winter 2006 issue. Read online for free JSTOR : jstor.org/stable/40404344 [4/10]

JSTOR The Choi & Sonnessa articles show that in China & in Italy in the 1920s, Communists were *deeply* debating and acting on problems of culture, households, women. They had a subtle & dialectical approach, which saw both neighborhoods and factories as sites of class struggle [5/10]

JSTOR The third article is “Popular Mobilization and Progressive Policy Making: Lessons from World War II Price Control Struggles in the United States” by Martin Hart-Landsberg from our Winter 2003 issue. Read online for free JSTOR : jstor.org/stable/40404109 [6/10]

JSTOR The Hart-Landsberg piece is different, but related: it shows that the U. S. Office of Price Administration enlisted the unpaid activism of *hundreds of thousands* of volunteers, across the USA, to enforce price (and interest rate) controls. [7/10]

JSTOR By the way: the ruling class *hated* this, with a passion! The popular mobilization aspect relates to the Chinese and Italian cases, as described in the other two articles. [8/10]

JSTOR The three Science & Society articles together, then, show the role of *democratic mobilization* in three diverse settings, in the theory and practice of Communist (in the US case, Communist plus many other progressive forces) organizers and thinkers. [9/10]

JSTOR Also: the standard tale (in some circles) about Communist parties having top-down, determinist, simplistic, one-sided views of class and class struggle is -- to put it gently -- *way* off base. --David Laibman, Science & Society Editor [10/10]

This is what a strike looks like most of the time. No camera crews. No big names. Just regular people, like these PSAC-AFPC members, fighting for what they deserve. #CanLab #CdnPoli

I'm a unionized public servant participating in a legal strike.- fighting for a fair contract. Solidarity. Enjoy your weekend.

And there you have it. EXXON, HALLIBURTON & CHEVRON, after Iraq, are now taking over the Ukrainian oil and gas fields. Planning to introduce large scale fracking - a clear and present threat to poison U's agriculture
