Next Redwood City Jacobin Reading Group Meeting - Wednesday, February 10, 6pm - Readings and Details!
The RWC Jacobin group will be meeting this Wednesday, February 10 at 6 pm at Back Yard Coffee Company to discuss the following readings and themes related to Black History Month in the US.
From the rich archive of black American thought, writing, and activism, we’ve sought to select texts that reflect contemporary political debates / questions unfolding in relation current politics / movements as well as striving to engage black feminist / queer / non-male perspectives.
As you read, consider cross-connections between the texts and past reading group themes. (The facilitators for this meeting will likely also have some questions to frame the discussion!)
"An Open Letter to Ta-Nehisi Coates and the Liberals Who Love Him" - an essay by Cedric Johnson, Professor of African American Studies and Political Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago, written in response to Ta-Nehisi Coates's recent post on The Atlantic's site on Bernie Sanders and reparations.
"More Than A Seat On The Bus" - This text by historian Danielle McGuire traces the origins of the Montgomery Bus Boycott to resistance by working class black women to sexual violence perpetrated against them. In this way, it helps to reframe key elements of Civil Rights Movement history in the US (e.g. origins, who organized / led) beyond more traditional tellings of CRM that tend to center straight, cishet Christian black and white men. (This post draws summarizes the main arguments of McGuire’s book At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape and Resistance - a New History of the Civil Rights Movement from Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power.)
"The Combahee River Collective Statement" - A group of black American feminists (the Combahee River Collective) collaboratively wrote and published this text in the late 1970s to summarize several years of developing a shared political analysis that emphasizes intersectionality in analysis of race, gender, sexuality, and class in US history and strategy for progressive social change. This represents a key text in the intellectual and political development of intersectionality.
Hope to see you there and, as always, please feel free to spread the word and invite folks who you think might be interested in the conversation!
For questions or to share thoughts / feedback, please reach out to rwcjacobin (at) gmail (dotcom)!
December 2 meeting follow up and plans for the next meeting (February 10, 2016)!
A big thank you to everyone who made it this evening and helped make this such a wonderfully lively, deeply intersectional, and thoughtful conversation. A special thank you as well to everyone who has helped build this space of conversation and community here in Redwood City over the last 14 months.
Looking ahead to 2016, we decided as a group that going forward we will striving to meet on the second Wednesday of each month starting in February 2016. Our next meeting will thus be Wednesday, February 10, 2016.
We will continue to meet at 6 pm at Backyard Coffee Company.
Potential themes include discussions of philanthropy, tax policy, and progressive social change as well as debating working within (and beyond) systems (political, technological, economic, or otherwise).
We’re also seeking guest speakers on themes connected to local struggles for social justice, equality, and liberation. Message us at rwcjacobin (at) gmail (dotcom) if you know someone who might be interested!
Have a wonderful rest of the year! Looking forward to continued community and conversation in 2016!
Next Redwood City Jacobin Group Meeting - Wednesday, December 2, 6:00 pm!
Join the RWC Jacobin Reading group to celebrate the end of the year, the arrival of (some) rain in California, and the US presidential primary season on Wednesday, December 2 at 6 pm with a time-honored leftist tradition: Debate and argumentation!
To this end, we will take up the latest issue of Dissent -- whose theme is "arguments on the left" -- and talk through themes addressed in (the non-paywalled) essays there, connecting these to questions and articles we've read in Jacobin and elsewhere over the past year plus together.
There is no need to read the latest issue of Dissent -- just arrive ready to engage in some friendly spirited discussed (and a beer or two)!
We will be meeting at our usual spot in Redwood City -- Backyard Coffee Company -- a short ways from Caltrain and SamTrans stops. The location is wheelchair accessible.
Next Redwood City Jacobin Group Meeting - Wednesday, September 9, 6:00 pm!
After a summer hiatus, the Redwood City Jacobin group will be back in action early this fall! We will be meeting again on Wednesday, September 9, 6:00 pm at our usual spot (Backyard Coffee Company @ 965 Brewster Ave, Redwood City, CA 94063).
As we reappear from summer vacation, we will be reading “Let’s Disappear” - a selection from The Invisible Committee’s To Our Friends released last year. We’ll place their contentions and suggestions in dialogue and debate with our past conversations around organizing history, strategy, and the political situation in the US and globally.
Totally optional reading includes the rest of the text (available in the US from The MIT Press). We will continue to take up additional chapters from the book if the group digs this train for discussion.
Looking forward to seeing you there! As always, ping rwcjacobin at gmail.com with questions and help spread the word to our friends and those who might be interested in the discussion.
Also - for notes from our April meeting - keep reading below the fold.
At our April 2015 meeting, the Redwood City Jacobin group dove into a set of questions on the current state and history of organized labor (and efforts to organize) in the US and globally. You can find details on the readings we engaged and our starting questions here.
The following reflection a distillation of the key threads of discussion, themes of debate, and questions posed by group members to one another. Here goes!
What do we think are the most promising trends in labor today?
Discussion of unionism / union-like activity without the formal structure.
Organized labor has experienced a complete rout in the past decades in the US on all key metrics - membership, # of strikes, more conservative leadership, etc.
Workers and organizers must focus on raising consciousness and understanding of fellow workers.
In light of the above, how do we re-evaluate our strategies?
Discussion of re-evaluation of 20th century alliance of organized labor and the Democratic Party in the US.
Labor Notes discussed as a resource - trains unions and organizers to make unions more democratic – attendance and engagement has increased after this sort of intervention.
Hopeful points discussed and debated:
Victories and visibility of Chicago Teachers’ Union strike
Successes in engaging families and linking communities to union organizing – discussion of review on Jane McAlevey’s book in Jacobin
Educators and families organizing against high-stakes standardized testing in NY
Nursing strikes in SF
#Fightfor15 recent one-day strike
Connections being made in analysis and actions between #BlackLivesMatter, #DivestNow, & #FightFor15 (e.g. the Black Youth Project’s Racial Justice is Economic Justice campaign)
Minimum wage increases successful at the ballot box in several states over the past few years.
These sorts of more radical conversations are likely happening in spaces focused on organizing labor
Smaller locals can have great impact
Debating Jane McAlevey’s experience as capturing much of the paradox and challenges in organized labor currently - she proved successful strategies in hostile contexts (“right-to-work” states), but was underminded by some formal leadership.
Challenges of hierarchical structures of representation in unions – how does this reinscribe anti-empancipatory logics?
Marxist theory assumes industrial relations of production - yet isn’t this destroying the planet? How do ecological questions factor into all of this?
What does “proactive” v. “reactive” struggle look like?
What would transcendence of the wage form look like? Discussion of abolition of the commodity form for housing, transit, etc. Is it deeper than control of means of production? It’s about equitable distribution as well.
Return to discussion of limitations of the Democratic Party in advancing workers’ interests and economic justice.
Debate: Wage increases not as radical as more wholesale redistribution of resources - but people must and do make compromises to eat. Still an urgent need to think big. Yet recognize the challenges of working for increased minimum wage in the US - much less notions like abolition of private property. Challenge of organizing, formulation of policy alternatives, and messaging. Debating claim we leftists tend to overestimate the
Discussion of recent acceleration of gentrification in Redwood City, the increased visibility of a more emboldened landlord class.
Engaging the “problem of composition” raised in “The Holding Pattern” - how powerful are we really as a united group (e.g. blue collar workers, intellectuals, students, LGBTQ community, etc.)?
Return to debate of CTU strike and whether long-term positive impact could be ascertained. Discussion on winning minor victories not inconsistence with radicalconscientização.
Discussion of leftist v. non-leftist populism as messaging strategies in US politics
Discussion of embrace by many liberals and progressives of the coup in Egypt
Debate on revolutionary subjectivity and self-identification / meaning of the term “worker” + ideologies of individualism v. socialism - “we can all be a unique and beautiful snowflake and a revolutionary worker.” Marcuse say revolutionary potential in particular skews of identity.
Are there situations where both labor’s and capital’s interest align - even if in a temporary way - that could be leveraged?
Discussion of American Beyond Capitalism and worker co-op forms - building prefigurative social relations in the cracks of capitalism
“Talk of ‘revolution’ is academic” - yet “people do want Communist utopia - even if never expressed in this way.”
The importance of providing and learning through small victories and successes. - “Give the people a collective experience of success” - can define experience for a lifetime.
Against a monotheism of method - history far too complex to definitively claim that one method always, transhistorically works.
Importance of data rigor in making leftist arguments - any error held to greater scrutiny by those seeking to preserve the status quo. (e.g. issues with the data analysis on QE’s relationship to food prices in “The Holding Pattern.”)
Next Redwood City Jacobin Reading Group Meeting - Wednesday, 4/22, 6:30 pm - Organiz(ed/ing) Labor, Historically & Today
Join the Redwood City Jacobin reading group this month to delve into the current state and history of organized labor (and efforts to organize) in the US and globally. We’ll be digging into questions such as:
What are the most promising and hopeful trends for labor today? How do these trends relate to wider strategy and organizing on the Left?
What is the relationship of more legacy forms of organized labor (e.g. conventional unions created in the 19th and 20th centuries) to newer efforts to organize labor (e.g. efforts to organize day laborers today)?
How do US and global trends relate to one another? (e.g. what does the uptick in mass strikes in large manufacturing facilities in East and South Asia during the past several years mean for the labor globally and/or the Left globally?)
The following texts (and a podcast) will inform our discussion:
"Raising Our Expectations" Jacobin’s Sam Gindin reviews Jane McAlevey’s recent book calling for worker-led organizing and the centrality of this work for a reinvigorated Left in the US.
"The Holding Pattern" - a long-form essay by the journal Endnotes that provides a wide-ranging view of class struggle globally with a focus on events from 2011-2013, the impact on workers, and how this informs the global political context.
“Worker Struggle in Asia and the Future of Capitalism" - a recent podcast interview of radical geographer Ashok Kumar by Novara Media on the key changes in manufacturing fundamentals in the global South with a focus on East, South, and Southeast Asia in the last 10-30 years as well as implications for the prospects of labor and economic justice globally.
As always, feel free to bring anyone you think would be interested in the discussion and spread the word by sharing this post! (Reach out to [email protected] with any questions you might have.)
Follow up on last month’s meeting + gathering ideas for the next meeting
Thanks to everyone who could join us for the March meeting of the Redwood City Jacobin reading group to discuss Syriza, current events in Europe, and lessons for the US context (summary of discussion below the fold).
We're planning for another as soon as possible! (Details TBD - we will be sure to announce them here as well as on Twitter @rwcjacobin). In the meantime, please reply to this post with ideas for future meetings or email them to [email protected].
Here are the key takeaways and threads of discussion from the meeting:
Readings we focused upon can be found here.
We kicked off the discussion with a reportback from a RWC group member who attended the recent San Francisco group meeting where a member of ANTARSYA attended to discuss the situation in Greece and Europe.
Following introductions, we started with a summary of the history of current political and economic conditions in Greece from the formation of the Eurozone to the negotiations happening between the Syriza government and "the institutions" (the troika) provided by this group member.
As a group, we shared key questions we had in response to the readings and context:
How can a relatively small country surrounded by different systems and enmeshed in a region with larger powers successfully survive / thrive if it decides to strongly pursue pro-people policies? If it does survive, how would this example of courage ripple out and impact the region / the world?
How many / which / when will other entities in the Eurozone also begin to rebel / standup to the institutions, especially the so-called "southern peripheral" states? / What can Podemos teach us about European solidarity for the left?
How strong are the internal forces of reaction and inequality in Greece - i.e. how / can Syriza translate its soaring rhetoric into structural transformation in the face of issues like entrenched tax avoidance? Can local elites be successfully confronted?
What's going on with the right-wing in Greece today? Does it still pose a threat?
What is the conversation in Germany right now about Syriza, a possible Grexit, etc. among the people? How does this fit into other political discussions in Germany?
Conversation threads and additional questions that arose in conversation:
Delving into current political discourse in Germany, the rise of xenophobia, counter-demonstrations, etc.
Unpacking Varoufakis - One summary: He has a beautiful critique of capitalism, but ultimately argues that he is seeking to save capitalism from itself since he believes economic collapse of this system would lead to fascism.
What is driving Germany to such an irrational (from a purely classical economic point of view) course of action?
What does "success" look like in Greece? What's a "revolutionary" transformation of institutions?
The role of historical consciousness plays in any macro political conversation (e.g. the roots of the EU / Eurozone being understood as, in a sense, an anti-war project).
How did Syriza win in terms of its tactics and strategy? A long-haul commitment to developing and sharing an alternative vision and effective organizing / mobilization when economic conditions - e.g. high unemployment - brought many people to consider more left answers.
What does "sovereignty" mean in the context of the EU, modern European history, regionalism, and leftism? Analyzing the sometimes surprising number of allies brought together by "national" pride - examples from the US, Russia, and India.
Unpacking the difference between the EU and the Eurozone - how these are perceived by Americans. Similarities / differences to NAFTA, CAFTA, TPP, the Articles of Confederation, and antebellum debates on central banks in the US.
How to navigate a commitment to national democracy and internationalism as a leftist?
Delving into migration flows to Greece and role in current political situation.
Reviewing various tactical options for Syriza: Capital controls, parallel currencies.
Advantages and disadvantages of centralization (a theme continuing from our last discussion around urban planning in the US).
Importance of political change at a local level for international change (e.g. Germany's internal politics matter tremendously for all of Europe).
Racism as a tactic of division used successfully by elites in the US especially - must be engaged and overcome by an leftist strategy focused on actually achieving victory.
Greek debt payments being used to bailout European banks - thus the entire political situation is a tactic to bailout banks on the backs of Europeans. This narrative needs elevation.
[location update!] Next Redwood City Jacobin Reading Group Meeting: Wednesday, 3/11, 6:00 pm - Lessons from Syriza
****
3/11/15 meeting location update!
We’re in the astroturf room to your left as you enter - see you soon!
****
Join the Redwood City Jacobin reading group this month to discuss the electoral victory of Syriza, the current political situation in Europe (Podemos, resistance to the troika, etc.), and what we can learn from them in terms of advancing economic justice and liberation here in the US and elsewhere in the world.
We will be gathering at Back Yard Coffee on Wednesday, March 11 at 6 pm (directions from the nearest Caltrain station - about a 5 min walk.) Back Yard is wheelchair-accessible.
Suggested for this meeting include the following:
"Syriza and the Radical Break" by Nantina Vgontzas, NYC sociology PhD candidate and graduate student / academic labor organizer -
"Syriza’s leadership is operating under difficult conditions. How should we interpret its actions, and what would an alternative look like?"
"Ending the Creditor's Paradise" by Mark Blyth, professor of political economy at Brown University and the author of Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea.
"What would you tell six hundred leading German social democrats about their party’s handling of the Eurocrisis?"
"The Reality of Retreat" by Stathis Kouvelakis, teacher of political theory at King’s College London and currently serving on the central committee of Syriza.
"Syriza’s deal with Greece’s creditors hasn’t bought more time or avoided austerity. It’s demobilized Greek workers."
Extra credit / optional readings (if you're seeking a little additional background):
"Winning an Election Does Not Mean Winning Power" - a speech by Pablo Iglesias, a key leader of Podemos in Spain, on the strategy and vision of a struggle for a better Europe on the eve of Syriza's victory in January.
A speech given by Alexis Tspiras in Berlin in May 2014 outlining his vision for an reinvigorated left in Europe.
As always, feel free to bring anyone you think would be interested in the discussion and spread the word by sharing this post. (Reach out to [email protected] with any questions you might have.)
Many thanks to everyone who could join us for the February meeting of the Redwood City Jacobin reading group earlier this month - and, if you could not, no worries - we are planning for another as soon as possible! (Details TBD - we will be sure to announce them here as well as on Twitter (@rwcjacobin).
Read on for notes on key conversation themes and stayed tuned for updates on the time and focus of the next reading group. (Also, in news related to some of last meeting's themes, check out news on this past weekend's march for tenants rights and housing justice in Redwood City.)
Please also send ideas and suggestions to [email protected]. We're also currently seeking Spanish speakers who would be willing to help with translation of texts and discussion in meetings. If you have this ability and would be willing to help as part of the reading group, please email [email protected].
February meeting summary
After introductions from everyone attending, we structured discussion reading-by-reading, but also made space to develop cross-text analysis and range beyond the readings. (If you attended and I missed any points or threads, please add them to the comments section in reply to this post!)
We started with Karen Narefsky's "The Suburbanization of the US Working Class" from the last issue of Jacobin and then moved to Richard Rothstein's research (full report) on this history of structural racism/classism in Ferguson and other US cities from the 20th century to the present. We also engaged Kim Mai-Cutler's "East of Eden: Race and the Transformation of Silicon Valley" to bring in threads of local/regional history.
In this context, here were some of the key threads and questions discussed:
Distraction and anxiety as tools of political control of neoliberal capitalist elites.
Unpacking what we mean by "the working class" in today's context.
Discussing challenges of building solidarity across laborers, especially "knowledge workers" and those outside of these sectors (or working for these sectors in a services capacity).
The role of the design of public space in promoting (or working against) different forms of political consciousness and community in different historical and non-US contexts (e.g. revolutionary France, classical Greece, contemporary China and India, and the contemporary US, contrasting cities/regions experiencing different forms and stages of gentrification such as the Bay Area as different from a smaller Rust Belt city).
Unpacking and analyzing differences between "the movement of the squares," Occupy, and #BlackLivesMatter.
Debating the meaning and role of "community" in advancing projects of developing revolutionary / radical / leftist political consciousness - and the relationship of "community" to proximal space.
Comparative analysis of efforts to organize / develop critical political consciousness in the differing class structure of India and the US.
Delving into a critical discussion of media in the US, the impact of the Internet, and trends of consolidation/fragmentation in its content strategies and political economy - e.g. Chomsky's observation that "the smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum."
Imagining and discussing what democratic negotiation of access to resources such as transit, housing, employment, etc. would look like - how a shift in conceptualization would be required to make this possible.
The importance of knowing a community's history history in building effective strategies to advance revolutionary / radical / leftist political consciousness in that community.
Debating the merits of centralization, regionalism, and different modes of coordinating political action with and across polities.
February Redwood City Jacobin Meeting! Thursday, 2/5, 6:30 pm at Back Yard Coffee [update!]
Look for us in the astroturf flooring room to the left as you enter!
****
The Redwood City Jacobing reading group is back and gearing up for our February 2015 meeting! We'll be gathering at Back Yard Coffee in Redwood City on Thursday, February 5 at 6:30 pm to discuss the suburbanization of the working class and inequality in the US.
Read on for full meeting details as well links / context for the articles we will engage to inform our discussion:
This time, we're diving into the history and political economy that produced the current social conditions of Ferguson and other similar US American working class suburbs. Ignored by many political observers and analysts prior to the murder of Michael Brown, these communities have played an increasingly central role in the geography of inequality and oppression in the US over the past several decades.
As the #BlackLivesMatter movement continues to unfold and gain even greater momentum in 2015, we focus upon the historical and social contexts from which much of this movement (and related efforts for economic and racial justice led by the working class) are emerging to learn what these efforts can teach us about building our collective capacity in the struggle against racism, economic inequality, patriarchy, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, militarism, and other forms of oppression in the US.
We undertake this discussion in the light of the following readings, our own experiences, and in the social context of Redwood City and other Peninsula / South Bay towns currently experiencing our own rapid -- albeit very different -- series of political and economic transformations:
"The Suburbanization of the US Working Class," by community organizer and Jacobin contributing editor Karen Narefsky
"Making Ferguson," by researcher Richard Rothstein -
[Jan. 29 UPDATE!] As extra credit reading, check out the following recent article as well on the history of gentrification, race and racism, class and classism, the community of East Palo Alto, and the tech industry of the Bay Area that our next meeting's facilitator surfaced:
"East of Palo Alto's Eden: Race and the Formation of Silicon Valley," by journalist Kim Mai-Cutler - http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/10/east-of-palo-altos-eden/
Meetup details:
When again? Thursday, February 5, 6:30 - 8:30 pm PT
Where again? Back Yard Coffee in Redwood City, CA. Where we met for our previous gathering, this is a locally-owned, independent (and awesome!) coffee shop located at 965 Brewster Avenue, Redwood City, CA 94063.

Following up on last week's meeting + info on future meeting planning
Many thanks to all who could make it to last week's inaugural meeting of the Redwood City Jacobin reading group at Back Yard Coffee! We hope those who could not make it can join next time!
In this post, you can find a recap of last week's discussion, themes proposed by the group for future meetings, and, of course, an invitation to stay looped into future meetings!
Discussion recap
After we each shared a bit about our journeys that led us to interest in this group, we delved into an wide range of topics, including both the reading themes and beyond. Some of the highlights:
Comparative analyses of leftist politics in India and the US, opening into an even wider discussion of Western/Global North/US imperialist geopolitics, the occupation of Gaza, transnational trade networks, and how all the of the previous connect (or could connect).
The culture and politics of work in the Bay Area, focusing especially on themes of gender justice/equality in the tech sector.
Critically analyzing past rhetorical strategies of the left in the US and new potential rhetorical strategies to gain greater traction politically.
Themes proposed by the group for future discussion - feel free to contribute additional ideas in the comments / replies section!
Engaging the potential for action and analysis at a very local level - e.g. housing policy in the Bay Area and what a more equitable/just housing policy would look like and how we could get there.
Intersecting and expanding the above the discussion with an analysis of what local points exist where pressure might be exerted by activists in solidarity to support resistance to oppression on a global scale. (This derived from an early discussion of some of the Block the Boat actions in the Port of Oakland over the past few months.)
Additionally, everyone was also interested in hearing more and connecting to other similar groups and events in the Bay Area, such as the Howard Zinn Book Fair happening in San Francisco on November 15. Again, if you know of other relevant, interesting events, add them in replies / comments to this post.
What's next?
Join this email list to stay in touch with the RWC group and participate in planning the reading group directly. We'll be gathering additional themes and availability there to coordinate the next meeting.
Spread the word - let others know about this group and other reading groups happening in other cities (for a partial list, check out the Tumblr accounts this account is following).
Read the latest Jacobin issue - Paint the Town Red - although, of course, RWC is already red, at least the trees...
The Inaugural Meeting of the Redwood City Jacobin Reading Group - October 14
** UPDATE for folks attending tonight - we will be meeting inside in the room with the green plastic floor (and furniture stylized to look like a backyard) - I mistakenly thought it was a backyard in an earlier version of this post! **
***
At last - a Jacobin Reading Group in Redwood City!
Join fellow local lefties to discuss some great texts and share an evening drink Tuesday, October 14, 6:30 pm at Back Yard Coffee (full details below).
The theme of this first gathering will be "Work Ethics - Critical Takes on the Politics, Cultures, and Consciousnesses of Labor." Many of the readings will include a shout-out to Bay Area economies and experiences.
Here's what you need to know to meet up and links to the reading we'll discuss:
When again? Tuesday, October 14, 6:30 - 8:30 pm PT
Where again? Back Yard Coffee in Redwood City, CA. This is a locally-owned, independent (and awesome!) coffee shop located at 965 Brewster Avenue, Redwood City, CA 94063. Check out this link for charting transit routes. (If you are traveling by Caltrain, it's about a 5 minute walk from the Redwood City station - complete walking directions from station.)
What else? Weather permitting, the reading group will meet in the room with a green floor and furniture stylized to look outdoors-y. Back Yard Coffee is wheelchair-accessible.
What are we reading and discussion? These three articles - blurbs courtesy of Jacobin:
"In the Name of Love," by Miya Tokumitsu - “Do what you love” is the mantra for today’s worker. Why should we assert our class interests if, according to DWYL elites like Steve Jobs, there’s no such thing as work?
"She Can't Sleep No More," by Sarah Leonard - the political economy of Marissa Mayer
"The War on Migrants," by Daniel Gutiérrez - Migrant workers in cities like Tijuana bear the brunt of global capitalism’s assault on labor
Send any questions you might have to [email protected]. Looking forward to seeing you there, comrade!
