Degrowth, and sustainable human development more generally, cannot occur without planning, which allows us to focus on genuine human needs and opens up all sorts of new possibilities blocked by the capitalist system. Capitalism works ex post, through the mediation of the market; planning is ex ante, allowing a straightforward approach to the satisfaction of needs, in line with what Marx in his “Notes on Adolph Wagner” called the “hierarchy of…needs.” Integrated democratic planning operating at all levels of society is the only route to a society of substantive equality and ecological sustainability and to human survival. Markets will still exist, but the path forward ultimately requires social planning in areas of production and investment controlled by the associated producers. This is especially the case in a planetary emergency such as today. As I have indicated, Magdoff and Sweezy argued as far back as May 1974 that stopping growth was essential in the rich economies, given the planetary ecological crisis, but that this needed to be approached more positively in terms of a planned restructuring of production as a whole.

Remembering my favorite Marx brother on his birthday. Adolph/Arthur "Harpo" Marx was born on November 23, 1888 #botd

#OnThisDay

28th November 1820, Friedrich Engels was born in Barmen.

I have happily survived my 71st birthday and am, all in all, healthier and stronger than 5 or 6 years since. If I go on till 1900 — though I don’t know, whether this would be a blessing or the reverse — I shall, i hope, still witness all manner of things. 

Engels' reply to Adolph Sorge's letter, 6 January 1892.

🎉 Happy Birthday Fred 🎉

Background explanations:

1. Friedrich Engels shows his interest in books. He spent his time and grew up with them, then for the next few years he expanded his knowledge to write some poems and short tale story. One day, according to his father's letter to Engels' mother, he was stressed because he found books about the story of knights in the 13th century on Engels's desk and often fearful for his excellent boy.

2. Engels was forced by his father to leave school and go into the family business. His (firm) partnership with Ermen's family in Manchester was gross and even his father tried to reduce his political activities with lot of a clerk's job, making him frustrated and angry.

3. Engels joined military service as one-year volunteer in Guards Foot Artillery and was soon promoted as a Bombardier. His experiences at military service were very useful for him to lead and fight in the insurrections. He was also an expert on military knowledge and wrote a lot of essays about it. No wonder in the future Marx and his friends called him "General".

4. His meeting with Marx changed everything. Citing from Henderson, in the past he had been disillusioned by successive idols - Hegel, Strauss, and Feuerbach - but now he had found a dynamic leader to whom he was faithful for the rest of his life.

5. Engels loves equestrial so much. He owned his own hunting horse and joined Cheshire Hunt. His activities make Marx worried about him. Marx warned him through his letter to not take too many breakneck jump and don't believe if the cavalry is the specialty in which Engels will be of the greatest service to Germany. The irony is, soon after his letter, Engels did fall from his horse and got injured.

6. The journey must be over. Engels died on 5th August 1895. His body was cremated and his ashes were scattered off Beachy Head, Eastbourne.

As Arthur (born Adolph) Marx never spoke in his films, I figured I'd just post some quotes by him...

"I am the most fortunate self-taught harpist and non-speaking actor who has ever lived."

"The man who first inspired me was a guy called Gookie. Gookie had nothing to do with the theater. He rolled cigars in the window of a cigar store on Lexington Avenue. When he got going good he was completely lost in work, so absorbed that he had no idea what a comic face he was making. His tongue lolled out in a fat roll, his cheeks puffed out and his eyes popped out and crossed themselves. Over the years, in every comedy act or movie I ever worked in, I've thrown in a Gookie at least once."

Talking about working in vaudeville: "If an audience didn't like us, we had no trouble finding it out. We were pelted with sticks, bricks, spitballs, cigar butts, peach pits and chewed-out stalks of sugar cane. We took all this without flinching - until (the Marx Brothers' mother and manager) Minnie gave us the high-sign that we'd collected our share of the receipts. Then we started throwing stuff back at the audience and run like hell for the railroad station the second the curtain came down."

"Cheap hotels in the South and Southwest were apparently set up as bug sanctuaries by some Audubon Society for Insects. Fleas, ticks, bedbugs, cockroaches, beetles, scorpions and ants, having no enemies, attacked with fearless abandon. They had the run of the house and they knew it. After a while you just let them bite. Fighting back was useless. For every bug you squashed, a whole fresh, bloodthirsty platoon would march out of the woodwork. In one hotel hotel the ants were so bad that each bed was set on four pots of oxalic acid."

"When you lose something irreplaceable, you don't mourn for the thing you lost. You mourn for yourself."

"If things get too much for you and you feel the whole world's against you, go stand on your head. If you can think of anything crazier to do, do it." (IMDb)

Happy Birthday, Harpo Marx!

“Who was the fascist equivalent to Karl Marx? Someone just discovering fascism might think of Adolph Hitler or Benito Mussolini as its foremost intellectuals. Someone who had done more reading on the topic might point to Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, Nazi philosopher Martin Heidegger, or the self-described Italian ‘ultra-fascist’ Julius Evola... I'm not the first to argue, Friedrich Nietzsche plays this role.”

California is very important to me because nowhere else has the upheaval most shamelessly caused by capitalist centralization taken place with such speed.” — Karl Marx, letter to Friedrich Adolph Sorge.

To Serge Silberman

Mexico City, 25 November 1972

My dear Serge, Splendid journey, just 2 hours 45 minutes. We are very grateful for your incomparable hospitality, your dedication to us and your generosity. Squirrels are lazy and inept in comparison with you. Your public persona, on the other hand, is less commendable. I laughed a lot when Rafael told me you reminded him of Groucho Marx, and that Gui, so elegant and urbane, was like a modern-day Adolphe Menjou. Groucho and Menjou: what a couple! Thank you again for everything.

Over here, the film has had an unprecedented success. More than a thousand people, most of them students, were left outside the cinema. More tickets sold than The Godfather. The press is predicting huge commercial success. As usual, the audience laughed a lot. It’s sold more tickets than all the other French films of course. The screening was quite good by all accounts, although for the first one at 4pm the projectionist changed the reel just as the sergeant was about to tell the colonel he wanted to tell him about a dream, so there was an abrupt and inexplicable jump to the street of the dead.

That’s all I have to tell you.

Sending you affectionate regards, Luis

PS For my part, I don’t intend to allow the Spanish censors to make a single cut.
