From: "Margaret" <margaret-AT-rie.net.au> Subject: AUT: Marx & Women's Lib Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 11:14:54 +1000 From: "Bureau of Public Secrets" <knabb-AT-slip.net> Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2001 5:21 AM Subject: Marx & Women's Lib 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.

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. --- from list aut-op-sy-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
