Wonderful new story by my friend and comrade Adelaide about revolutionary trans women discussing their theater company. Please consider funding future authors by donating to Common Notions for Project 2052!

Tending to inspiration from the cultural intifada and seeds gifted during a visit to a liberated Palestine, Désirée, Mia, and Adelaide reminisce on a precarious collaboration. In a dire time, they have irresistible fun, learning from sparkles in the eyes of crowds of children.

Six months before the Hunts Point Insurrection, three trans women gather on Samhain to reconnect and reflect on the three anti-imperialist theatre companies that led them to sustain their own collective from 2042-2049.

There's a new story in the ever-expanding world of EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE! "Désirée Dove and Mia Fairfield-Malhotra on the Prospect Farm Street Theatre" by Adelaide

"This collection of Harry Cleaver’s published essays is invaluable for socialist organizers and theoreticians to re-center the working-class as the protagonist of struggle within late capitalist society." Julian Assele reviewed POINTS OF DEPARTURE for COSMONAUT.

We're thrilled to share POINTS OF DEPARTURE, @harrycleaver.bsky.social's best unpublished, translated, or little-read writings that powerfully speak to the moment we're in. Edited by Robert Ovetz and @americanwork47.bsky.social. Available at your favorite bookstore today!

Harry Cleaver on the impact of computer technology on the workplace and working class. One of the most compelling Marxist theorists of class struggle over work of the last 50 years, his lesser known writings continue to be invaluable, especially as we face the rise of global fascism.

With capitalism endlessly imposing work—which, as Harry argues, remains our “central issue”—the struggle against work is not only vital to creating spaces in our own lives for other activities and politics but for going beyond capitalism.

POINTS OF DEPARTURE is the definitive collection of Harry Cleaver’s best unpublished, translated, or lesser known writings—both historical and current—on working class refusal, class composition, unwaged work, debt, and what he calls the “inversion of the class perspective.”

We’re thrilled to invite Common Notions sustaining members to join Robert Ovetz and @americanwork47.bsky.social for a celebration and informal conversation.
