Just launched the 'Historical Materialism: Workers and Capital' journal. The starting point for this is a shared understanding that Marxism can provide important conceptual tools for understanding the relationship between workers and capital, as well as supporting the struggle against capital.

We've launched a new Historical Materialism project with a CfP for the first issue. Abstracts due 31st of October

We have collectively lost the knowledge, skill, and willingness to organize and strike. We have to rebuild those, and that takes time.

A wandering warrior, bearing scars of a lonely life, and—via the new individual Fate mechanic introduced in TSVE—destined to grow into someone new.
