Points of Departure (Refusal of Work and the Crisis of Capitalism: The Collected Writings of Harry Cleaver)

“Refuse work. Revolt against capitalism. Read Harry Cleaver. In that order. Repeat.”

This is a definitive collection of Harry Cleaver’s best unpublished, translated, or lesser known writings–both historic and current–on the refusal of work, class composition and “inversion of the class perspective,” the crisis of capitalism, and the ongoing necessity of re-reading Marx theory to understand, find points of departure from, and “finally end capitalism before it ends us.” Edited by organizers Robert Ovetz and Kevin Van Meter to launch the Class Compositions imprint at Common Notions.
