The making of
a debt resistors' movement: From Occupy Wall
Street to Strike Debt //
The
financial crisis in the US officially began in
September 2008, but the first mass street response
arose in September 2011 with the Occupy Wall Street
movement. Since then Strike Debt, a debt
resistors' organization, emerged out of Occupy.
George Caffentzis will discuss debt resistance as a
working class project and the prospects
of Strike Debt in the context of previous debt
resistance movements.

In Letters of Blood
and Fire:
Karl Marx remarked
that the only way to write about the origins of
capitalism is in the letters of blood and fire used to
drive workers from the common lands, forests, and
waters in the sixteenth century. In this collection of
essays, George Caffentzis argues that the same is true
for the annals of twenty-first-century capitalism.
Information technology, immaterial production,
financialization, and globalization have been
trumpeted as inaugurating a new phase of capitalism
that puts it beyond its violent origins. Instead of
being a period of major social and economic novelty,
however, the course of recent decades has been a
return to the fire and blood of struggles at the
advent of capitalism.
