At 5:30 PM next Tuesday, 11/4, in room 302 of the UGA Journalism building, I will be speaking at the Teach-in on unionization arguing for automatic elections to select union representatives, equal employee representation on corporate boards, and a federal job guarantee wiping out unemployment.

Just finished reading Hans Fallada’s Every Man Dies Alone (Jeder stirbt fur sich allein). Perhaps, as Geoff Wilkes suggests, a testament to “the banality of good”, but an unforgettabe saga of the cruel challenges to be faced resisting fascist tyranny. Too timely.

To refute fascism one must enlist the conceptual arsenal pioneered by Hegel. I will present the philosophical refutation of political fascism in Puebla, Mexico, at 10 AM on November 13th, at the IV German-Latinamerican Hegel Congress. Be there at the Auditorio Elena Garro.
