Cuba and the United States: A Chronological History by Jane Franklin.
A little dry at parts... But incredibly fascinating. A great piece by piece account of the relationship of Cuba, and the US, and the events leading up to, and after the revolution.
I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a historical understanding of why exactly the United States is so hell bent on ousting Castro, but still good for Marxists who want to learn more about American imperialism.

I finished Reading Capital Politically by Harry CleaverHow was it? Im probably not gonna read it so could you highlight the main points. Just curious to hear what autonomous marxism has to say. I thought it was very interesting and definitely worth reading. If you want to take a look at parts of it, it's available online for free also: www.eco.utexas.edu/faculty/Cleaver/357krcp.htmlI recommend at least taking a look at the introduction

A few nights ago I finished "The Need for Roots" by Simone Weil. It made my eyes water it was so powerful for me.
Simone Weil was an agnostic socialist turned archo communist turned Christian. The book was writen in 1943 when she was living in England. She wrote it for the exiled French government as a report for reconstruction after the war. She died later that year of (self inflicted) starvation and TB.
Her politics in the book are beautiful, strange, and something unto their own. The book is paradoxical, spiritual, and deeply compassionate. Her politics in this book are neither left nor right, but something unique and unlike anything I have been exposed to. It is very paradoxical in that it has a socialist or anarchist tone at the same time it has an admiration for authority. But in another book of hers that I read a few years ago called "Waiting For God" she stated that she believes truth is in paradox so her politics are consistant with that belief. One of the more interesting things that she said was of Hitler. She said that no one could punnish Hitler unless they were able to rid themselves of Hitler's crimes within themselves, and if they did this task, they would no longer desire to punish him.
She seems in this book more of a universalist than a Christian at times, since she states that all religions are equal and have truth. For instance, she uses examples from Eastern religions and the religion of the Greeks and ancient Egyptians as truths.
I am not sure if I even understand her properly, she is so complex at times. But I did enjoy it, and though I don't agree with a lot of it, her unique mind and life is admirable.
Have any of you read or heard of her?
She is not someone whose political beliefs I agree with, though she makes some good points. She is very interesting.

Right Now im reading a horrible book, but hey i gotta read up on my opposition, Ayn Rand-the fountainhead, next I will probably read Georg lukacs "History and Class Consciousness" then either Frantz Fanon "Wretched of the Earth" or Erick Fromm "Marx's concept of Man"
