Endnotes 2: Misery and the Value Form Theory

Endnotes is a journal/book series published by a discussion group based in Germany, the UK and the US. It is primarily oriented towards conceptualising the conditions of possibility of a communist overcoming of the capitalist mode of production and of the multiple structures of domination which pattern societies characterised by that mode of production starting from present conditions. As such it has been concerned with debates in communist theory, and particularly the problematic of communisation ; the question of gender and its abolition; the analysis of contemporary struggles, movements and political economy; the dynamics of surplus population and its effects on capital and class; capitalist formations of race ; value-form theory and systematic dialectics; the revolutionary failures and impasses of the 20th Century. Endnotes 2 (Misery and the Value Form) includes: surplus capital and surplus populations; crisis in the class relation; the housing question in the US; communisation and value-form theory; the systematic dialectic of capital as a dialectic of class struggle; 'subsumption and the periodisation of capitalism; and sleep-worker s enquiry.
