Marxist theory is expansive and essential “All science would be superfluous if the outward appearance and the essence of things directly coincided,” said Karl Marx. If our experience of the world matched reality, we would have no need for theory. Thousands of years ago the consensus was that the earth was flat. But science exposed that belief as false, contradicting experience. Under capitalism, we know what it feels like to be low paid , to desperately want somewhere secure to live and to search for meaningful relationships. But to expose why that is the case, we need to understand the inner workings of capitalism. We need Marxist theory. Opponents of socialism create the impression that Marxism is dogmatic and outdated. Some people have ideas and explanations about society which they think of as “common sense”—bosses create jobs, competition from migrants lowers wages, the police keep society in order and so on. Social and mainstream media fill our minds with partial and misleading explanations for why society is in crisis and who is to blame. The far right puts forward supposedly coherent explanations of social crisis which express people’s anger against elites, but points them in entirely the wrong direction for solutions. Marxism can cut through these false explanations. What we see and experience only partially expose the truth about the hidden processes that drive those appearances. Marx pointed out that the movements of the stars are not perceptible to those looking up at night. Objects can behave in misleading ways. Their real nature must be investigated. Scientific theory helps to get beneath the surface appearance of things to understand the underlying laws and processes that shape the world. But the ruling class needs science to develop new technologies and make more profits. The ruling class also uses ideology in sophisticated ways to obscure or justify the inequalities and violence of capitalism. Marx argued that capitalism is especially good at disguising its true nature. Our societies are shaped by hidden forces that need to be explored. Marx unmasked the economists of his time. “In place of disinterested inquirers”, he argued, “there were hired prize fighters, in place of genuine scientific research, the bad conscience and the evil intent of apologetics”. The existence of these ideological prize fighters makes Marxist theory more important. When Marx wrote Capital, he did not tell people that their lives were hard and their wages low. They knew that from their experience. What Marx wanted to know was why—and what could be done about it. He studied the inner workings of capitalism. His method enables us to look beneath the dynamism of capitalism to see how wealth is based on labour and would inevitably create crises. Marx used what he called the “power of abstraction”. This abstraction means setting aside the superficial aspects of something and looking at its most essential features. The abstractions must then be related back to what we actually see and experience in the real world. So we move from the abstract idea to the concrete reality—how something works in reality rather than how it appears, in the abstract, to function. We can grasp the fundamental nature of things by abstracting and separating out the core elements and then reconstructing the whole as a new, complex totality. In Capital, Marx investigated the commodity—how objects were produced, bought and sold. He revealed the hidden exploitation, alienation and competition involved in their production. Superficial explanations of society can fit when workers are passive. Right wing ideas can gain a purchase when workers are angry. But workers have an interest in understanding how society really works. The experience of previous struggles combines with theoretical insights in Marxism. The combination of struggle and politics reveals the oppressive logic of capitalism and how to transform it. A new series of articles on Marxist ideasNone

Several incarcerated people in Virginia’s high-security Red Onion state prison have intentionally burned themselves in a protest against harsh conditions at the facility. A written statement from Virginia’s department of corrections acknowledged that men imprisoned there had harmed themselves, although the authorities confirmed six incidents while others reported that 12 men were injured. “In recent months, six inmates at Red Onion state prison have burned themselves using improvised devices that were created by tampering with electrical outlets,” the director of Virginia’s department of corrections, Chad Dotson, said in a written statement. Earlier this week, Virginia’s governor, Glenn Youngkin, also confirmed the protest and said there was an investigation into the injuries. “I do think that part of the investigation is to understand how they’ve happened and why they’ve happened,” Youngkin said. “We have been in conversations with the department of corrections about these circumstances.” Dotson added that some of those injured were treated for burns at the corrections department’s “secure medical facility”, while others “did not require outside medical treatment”. All six were referred to mental health staff “for treatment”, according to Dotson. In his statement, he also said: “To be clear, these inmates did not set themselves on fire or self-immolate, as some reports have ludicrously suggested. The recent round of stories about Red Onion are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to try to score cheap political points by advocacy groups who pursue prison abolition and policies that would make Virginians less safe.” Dotson’s announcement comes after reporting from the incarcerated journalist Kevin “Rashid” Johnson , who first drew attention to self-harm at the state facility in October through his work on Prison Radio , a non-profit activist organization. Johnson reported that he had met an individual in September named Ekong Eshiet, who claimed to have returned from the hospital the day before after being treated for self-inflicted burns. On Prison Radio, Johnson said Eshiet had told him that “the racism and abuses, the hard and inhumane conditions at Red Onion, were so intolerable that he and others were setting themselves on fire in desperate attempts to be transferred away from the prison”. About a week later, Prison Radio also released an audio recording from Ekong Eshiet himself, in which Eshiet talked about how he had started a hunger strike since returning from being treated for his burns. He said he was protesting “discrimination”, which he says he has to deal with every day at Red Onion. “I’m going about this the right way, I guess, like with the hunger strike way,” Eshiet said. “But if I have to, I don’t mind setting myself on fire again. This time, I would set my whole body on fire before I have to stay up here and do the rest of my time up here. I would rather die before I stay up here, because every day I’m dealing with discrimination, whether it’s behind my race, my last name or my religion.” According to reporting from Al Jazeera , Johnson, the incarcerated journalist, was put into solitary confinement in early November, shortly after he first drew attention to the self-harm. Noelle Hanrahan, the founder of Prison Radio, said in an interview that she had spoken with Johnson’s attorney and been told that Johnson had been placed in solitary confinement. Johnson’s initial reporting on Prison Radio mentioned that he heard of 12 men at Red Onion who had burned themselves, but Dotson has only acknowledged six. “We are confident in the basis of this story; the numbers we are still drilling down,” Hanrahan said. The Virginia Legislative Black caucus (VLBC) group of lawmakers released a statement on X condemning the conditions at Red Onion. “The VLBC is horrified at recent reports of incarcerated individuals setting themselves on fire in response to the degrading and inhumane conditions at Red Onion state supermax prison in Wise county, Virginia,” the group wrote in its statement. “These acts of self-immolation are desperate cries for help.” The caucus claimed in its statement: “People who have been incarcerated at Red Onion State prison describe being regularly subjected to racial and physical abuse from correctional officers, medical neglect including the withholding of medicine, excessive stays in solitary confinement with one report of 600 consecutive days, inedible food having been covered in maggots and officers’ spit, and violent dog attacks.” The group of lawmakers said “at least 12” Black men had burned themselves in protest. A report from more than 20 years ago from Human Rights Watch said Red Onion “raises serious human rights concerns”. In a written statement sent to the Guardian in response to the six burnings, the Virginia state senator Barbara Favola said that the department of corrections “must operate our prisons in a safe, humane and rehabilitative manner”. “I encourage the governor to order an independent investigation of these allegations,” Favola said. In his statement, Dotson said that on numerous occasions, the department of corrections had invited “all legislators” to visit Red Onion state prison. “We have, in particular, sent personal invitations Tuesday to every member of the Virginia Legislative Black caucus in response to their statement,” Dotson said. Miriam Nemeth, deputy litigation attorney at the Washington, DC-based advocacy group Rights Behind Bars, has been representing Johnson, who first wrote about the protest from prison, and she also told the Guardian that he had been put into solitary confinement on 4 November. She accused the prison of enacting “unending retaliation” against Johnson “for his efforts to speak out”. Nemeth said she was not currently able to speak to Johnson and she had been told by the authorities that he had been put in isolation for his own safety after a threat against him. The Guardian requested comment from the Virginia department of corrections on this aspect of Johnson’s situation, but did not receive a response prior to publication.A federal appeals court panel on Friday unanimously upheld a law that could lead to a ban on TikTok in a few short months, handing a resounding defeat to the popular social media platform as it fights for its survival in the U.S. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied TikTok's petition to overturn the law — which requires TikTok to break ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance or be banned by mid-January — and rebuffed the company's challenge of the statute, which it argued had ran afoul of the First Amendment. “The First Amendment exists to protect free speech in the United States,” said the court's opinion, which was written by Judge Douglas Ginsburg. “Here the Government acted solely to protect that freedom from a foreign adversary nation and to limit that adversary’s ability to gather data on people in the United States.” TikTok and ByteDance — another plaintiff in the lawsuit — are expected to appeal to the Supreme Court, though its unclear whether the court will take up the case. “The Supreme Court has an established historical record of protecting Americans’ right to free speech, and we expect they will do just that on this important constitutional issue," TikTok spokesperson Michael Hughes said in a statement. “Unfortunately, the TikTok ban was conceived and pushed through based upon inaccurate, flawed and hypothetical information, resulting in outright censorship of the American people,” Hughes said. Unless stopped, he argued the statute “will silence the voices of over 170 million Americans here in the US and around the world on January 19th, 2025.” Though the case is squarely in the court system, its also possible the two companies might be thrown some sort of a lifeline by President-elect Donald Trump, who tried to ban TikTok during his first term but said during the presidential campaign that he is now against such action . The law, signed by President Joe Biden in April, was the culmination of a years-long saga in Washington over the short-form video-sharing app, which the government sees as a national security threat due to its connections to China. The U.S. has said it’s concerned about TikTok collecting vast swaths of user data, including sensitive information on viewing habits , that could fall into the hands of the Chinese government through coercion. Officials have also warned the proprietary algorithm that fuels what users see on the app is vulnerable to manipulation by Chinese authorities, who can use it to shape content on the platform in a way that’s difficult to detect — a concern mirrored by the European Union on Friday as it scrutinizes the video-sharing app’s role in the Romanian elections. TikTok, which sued the government over the law in May, has long denied it could be used by Beijing to spy on or manipulate Americans. Its attorneys have accurately pointed out that the U.S. hasn’t provided evidence to show that the company handed over user data to the Chinese government, or manipulated content for Beijing’s benefit in the U.S. They have also argued the law is predicated on future risks, which the Department of Justice has emphasized pointing in part to unspecified action it claims the two companies have taken in the past due to demands from the Chinese government. Friday’s ruling came after the appeals court panel, composed of two Republican and one Democrat appointed judges, heard oral arguments in September. In the hearing, which lasted more than two hours, the panel appeared to grapple with how TikTok’s foreign ownership affects its rights under the Constitution and how far the government could go to curtail potential influence from abroad on a foreign-owned platform. On Friday, all three of them denied TikTok’s petition. In the court's ruling, Ginsburg, a Republican appointee, rejected TikTok's main legal arguments against the law, including that the statute was an unlawful bill of attainder or a taking of property in violation of the Fifth Amendment. He also said the law did not violate the First Amendment because the government is not looking to "suppress content or require a certain mix of content” on TikTok. “Content on the platform could in principle remain unchanged after divestiture, and people in the United States would remain free to read and share as much PRC propaganda (or any other content) as they desire on TikTok or any other platform of their choosing,” Ginsburg wrote, using the abbreviation for the People’s Republic of China. Judge Sri Srinivasan, the chief judge on the court, issued a concurring opinion. TikTok’s lawsuit was consolidated with a second legal challenge brought by several content creators - for which the company is covering legal costs - as well as a third one filed on behalf of conservative creators who work with a nonprofit called BASED Politics Inc. Other organizations, including the Knight First Amendment Institute, had also filed amicus briefs supporting TikTok. “This is a deeply misguided ruling that reads important First Amendment precedents too narrowly and gives the government sweeping power to restrict Americans’ access to information, ideas, and media from abroad,” said Jameel Jaffer, the executive director of the organization. “We hope that the appeals court’s ruling won’t be the last word.” Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, lawmakers who had pushed for the legislation celebrated the court's ruling. "I am optimistic that President Trump will facilitate an American takeover of TikTok to allow its continued use in the United States and I look forward to welcoming the app in America under new ownership,” said Republican Rep. John Moolenaar of Michigan, chairman of the House Select Committee on China. Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, who co-authored the law, said “it's time for ByteDance to accept” the law. To assuage concerns about the company’s owners, TikTok says it has invested more than $2 billion to bolster protections around U.S. user data. The company has also argued the government’s broader concerns could have been resolved in a draft agreement it provided the Biden administration more than two years ago during talks between the two sides. It has blamed the government for walking away from further negotiations on the agreement, which the Justice Department argues is insufficient. Attorneys for the two companies have claimed it’s impossible to divest the platform commercially and technologically. They also say any sale of TikTok without the coveted algorithm - the platform’s secret sauce that Chinese authorities would likely block under any divesture plan - would turn the U.S. version of TikTok into an island disconnected from other global content. Still, some investors, including Trump’s former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and billionaire Frank McCourt, have expressed interest in purchasing the platform. Both men said earlier this year that they were launching a consortium to purchase TikTok’s U.S. business. This week, a spokesperson for McCourt’s Project Liberty initiative, which aims to protect online privacy, said unnamed participants in their bid have made informal commitments of more than $20 billion in capital.The women who came before | The Old Guy
