Monthly Review | What Makes the Working Class a Revolutionary Subject?

Those who conclude that the working class is not a revolutionary subject because capitalism has changed the working class reveal that they do not understand the ABCs of Marxism.

Türkiye'deki Şiddete Karşı Bir Bildiri de Yabancı Aydınlardan!

Türkiye’deki Şiddete Karşı Bir Bildiri de Yabancı Aydınlardan!

Türkiye’de devlet şiddetini hedef alıp, “Bu Suça Ortak Olmayacağız” bildirisi yayımladıkları için hedef tahtasına oturtulan akademisyenlerle ilgili tepkiler, “terörist” ithamıyla adli soruşturmalara dönüşürken, bir akademisyenler bildirgesi de yurt dışından geldi. Türkiye’yi IŞİD’e yardım ve Kürtlere baskıyla suçlayan bildiride, Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan’ın Türkiye’ye davet ettiği Noam Chomsky başta…

The agency’s role is not to reflect the structures of their clients. Clients are stuck in their silos because those companies tend to be very large and their internal organizations have been established for a very long time. An agency that’s very siloed is working against the needs of the clients by reflecting their structure. The more that people are thinking horizontally or in a more concentric way rather than in a very vertical, siloed way, the more successful they’ll be in really understanding a digital world. As soon as you have a creative department, you say explicitly and implicitly that there are some people who have ideas and are there to be creative and some people who are not. Whether you say you accept ideas from everywhere [or not], you have to back that up and walk the walk within your company and how you structure it. We’ve never had a department or called anybody creatives, and we generally solicit ideas from analysts and account people, and not just solicit from them, but it’s part of their obligation. I’ve said a million times that creativity is an obligation, not a vocation. It’s a simple thing, but it’s actually not commonly practiced. Advertising is undergoing a transition right now where it’s harder and harder to break through with a novel piece of interactivity. It’s very hard to surprise someone [with display advertising] when they know where you’re going to be. But that’s a great bar to set, and I’m sure that we’ll see some great display this year. Every time a new bar is set, the industry comes and exceeds it. It’s very easy to award work that speaks with a very loud voice, that’s got a great stunt attached to it or is big and shiny and polished in some way. But a lot of work that’s really genuinely great is quiet, simplified to the point of producing no friction in an experience whatsoever. So how do you reward the best user experience that feels seamless, almost transparent, and just gets out of the way?

„osvrt unazad“

Pa, dobro, care, kralju i vojvodo, dela se osvrni unapred! „U svetlu trenutne ekonomske situacije ne samo na prostoru Balkana i bivših republika SFRJ već i u svetu dobra je praksa napraviti osvrt unazad i pogledati koje nam iskustvo istorija ostavlja za sobom.“ 

Ono, može biti da je i prevodilački zaser.

The starting point for grasping capitalism as an organic system is to see it as a relationship between capitalists, who are the owners of the means of production and driven by the desire for profits (surplus value), and workers, who are separated from means of production and thus have no alternative to maintain themselves but to sell their capacity to perform labor (labor power).
