I would certainly love to be involved in writing a basic marx pamphlet at some point - anything which can help put an end to "anarchism vs marxism" pissing matches is a good thing in my book. However I do not have the time currently to do the reading to do this justice and think certain other writing projects should take priority.
this came up here.
i agree a basic marx pamphlet written by anarchists would be a good thing, but also that it's a lot of work to do justice to. was chatting about this in the pub with jack, because i have scintillating conversations like that, and we thought that a less ambitious 'marx for anarchists' type pamphlet introducing his main ideas would be more feasible.
we've just about finished our (brighton solfed) pamphlet on anarcho-syndicalist strategy and organisation, which is about 6-7000 words and 18-20 pages. something that kind of length that aimed to introduce marxian concepts and analysis to anarchists/fellow travellers in plain english would be much more achievable in the short term. so does anyone think such a pamphlet would be useful? and would anyone be interested in collaborating on such a project?
I think it's a good idea. As for helping out, I'm not nearly as schooled on Marx as some of you lot.
