		<title>Communization in the Present Tense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;ve taken the following text from Des Nouvelles Du Front, where it appeared in French and in an English translation c0urtesy of the good people at Endnotes. Theorie Communiste normally use way more italics than this.
	Communization in the Present Tense
Théorie Communiste (trans. Endnotes)
	In the course of revolutionary struggle, the abolition of the state, of exchange, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The top search</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Far and away the most common google search used to get to my blog: &#8220;leila khaled quotes&#8221;. These searches go to the interview Liz Thompson did with her several years ago, which she was kind enough to let me put up here. For a variety of reasons, this pleases me.

		<title>Fragment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	An extract from François Danel’s preface to the book ‘Rupture dans la théorie de la Révolution’:
	The Programme and its Crisis
	Because all affirmation of the proletariat disappeared during the restructuring, we can today understand all of the historic activity of the &#8220;old workers movement&#8221; under the concept of programatism. On the one hand, under the formal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interface</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	The new issue of Interface is now available on-line, on &#8216;Repression and Social Movements&#8217;. Liz Thompson and I have an article, &#8216;Public policy is class war pursued by other means: struggle and restructuring as international education economy&#8217;.

		<title>save the upfield line</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Another horrible train journey, in the early afternoon. A large white man standing in the middle of the carriage, who looked in his late twenties but maybe early thirties, yelling at the top of his voice about people being scum and how he wanted to bash them. He was ostensibly having a  phone conversation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Economic nationalism and Australian trade unionism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	A few weeks ago, Liz Thompson and I wrote a short piece for the anarchist magazine Melbourne Black, entitled &#8216;Trade Unions: In the National Interest&#8217;. The article was published in the fifth issue, which has just been released, available as a hardcopy and on-line.

		<title>Processes of Restructuring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Issue 48 of Mutiny has appeared, and contains what is now entitled (reasonably enough) &#8220;International Student Struggles: Transnational Economies, Guest Consumers and Processes of Restructuring&#8221;, viewable on pages eight-through-eleven of this pdf.
	This is a somewhat (but largely inoffensively) edited version of an article I submitted a while ago under the title &#8220;International student struggles, or, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Terrorising the tribals of India</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	That was the title given to an opinion piece I wrote for the Indusage late last year. I never noticed, but Liz just let me know that the piece appears on-line here.

		<title>Sushi Das does that small thing necessary to set off the xenophobic racism of the Australian population</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Sometimes in conversation I have casually referred to the racism and xenophobia manifest in &#8220;the hundred comments after any on-line Herald-Sun article discussing violence against international students&#8221;.
	I&#8217;ve never felt particularly good about the reference, replete as it is with the barely-covert snobbery of the ALP-or-Greens-voting broadsheet reader, or even just the broadsheet reader per se.
	Anyway, [...]]]></description>

		<title>time to use the word &#8216;oppression&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I think that it is time to use the word oppression. In ways which are effaced and erased in the discourses of the upper reaches of the state government and seemingly within those institutions which might register such facts, the police are acting to oppress those on international student visas, and those who are thought, [...]]]></description>
