Two classic radical texts have been added to the BPS website:

INTRODUCTION TO A CRITIQUE OF HEGEL'S PHILOSOPHY OF RIGHT (Karl Marx, 1844)
-- http://www.slip.net/~knabb/CF/marx-hegel.htm

THE TYRANNY OF STRUCTURELESSNESS (Jo Freeman, 1970)
-- http://www.slip.net/~knabb/CF/structurelessness.htm

The first is one of Marx's earliest and most brilliant writings. Among other
things, it's the source of "Religion is the opium of the people," "To be
radical is to grasp things by the root," "Practice must seek its theory,"
"Make shame more shameful still by making it public," and many other phrases
later taken up by the situationists.

The second is an influential examination of the manipulative tendencies that
are often hidden within apparently "structureless" organizations. It was
originally addressed to the early women's liberation movement, but its
insights continue to apply to present-day radical groups and activities.

Apologies to those of you who were unable to access the BPS website for
several days during the end of July and the beginning of August. There was a
server problem, which now seems to have been resolved. If you visit the site
frequently, please note the following alternative URLs:

The spectacle contains the complete catalogue of human domination.
It creates new forms of exploitation, and includes earlier, more brutal
forms of power into its arsenal of weapons.
Everyday, the more the spectator acquiesces, the more abuse power heaps upon
them.
