On what would have been the 125th anniversary of the installation of a confederate monument in downtown Jacksonville, a local group celebrates its removal.
In critiquing Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch Gilles Dauvé highlights limitations in his own conception of the creation of the proletariat internationally, and his understanding of Marx’s work on slavery. These limitations are not unique to Dauvé, but as someone libcom cites as an influence, especially due to his insistence on the proletariat as a negative rather than positive category, and who has been influential on the communisation tendency generally, we should expect better.
The group "Take 'Em Down Jax" thinks that City Council President Terrance Freeman is ignoring their calls for the removal of confederate monuments in Jacksonville.
