ABSTRACT In the second half of this essay about reifications in disease ecology, drawing upon our experience, we propose ideas and practices for invigorating a disease ecology by, and for, the people, guided by pedagogical principles and experiences that do not separate subjects and objects of study into roles and categories. Rather, we envision a disease ecology that seeks to understand relations, processes and contexts driving complex ecological phenomena like disease emergence. In doing so, we examine how science, when brought into a political pedagogy of context and relation, may become surprisingly helpful in moving beyond the false erudition that José Martí critiqued at the start of our colonial capitalist modernity.

ABSTRACT Nestor Makhno was an anarchist political prisoner who was released from prison with the February Revolution. He was able to convince anarchists in Huliaipole by numbing the “Social Committee” with anti-authoritarian theory. He succeeded in the first mass experiment of a united front of all classes in the village in Huliaipole, which would form the basis of his political struggle. In the process, the Peasant League became the Peasant Soviet. This article studies the social base of the Makhno Movement, and evaluates its political praxis against the background of its libertarian theoretical claims, especially in the context of its endeavors to differentiate itself from the Bolsheviks.

I am a bad Leftist. I am an under-employed contingent academic labourer at an online university (Athabasca U); but I love my job and my school does some cool things, like periodically offering free massive open online courses. I volunteer at my union Local, not to wait for “the Great Leap Forward,” but rather to prepare for and participate in the democratic practice of people-led power, within my small sphere of activity and impact. I am at times out of place – neither anti-state enough for anarchists, nor economically-determinist enough for orthodox Marxists. I grew up in one of the poor branches of a long-time white settler New England family. My parents’ divorce in the 1970s meant I experienced what millions of children of divorce endure, that is, a precipitous drop in household income and, for us, the stigma of poverty in an otherwise relatively well-off oceanside town. Impacted by the prejudices around me, I developed a keen radar for and stance against discrimination and a very early fellow-feeling for other poor people. In 1982, in a torturous “game” of Russian roulette played with a stolen gun, a likely-mentally ill juvenile shot dead a beloved relative of mine at age 15. I mourned and have since acted to join campaigns for the release of juvenile lifers. I campaign for the abolition of prisons, police, and the military industrial complex(es). I march for gun control and against war. I am a survivor and an activist against rape and violence against women. While steeped experientially in contexts that led me to these political and philosophical positions, my biography also shapes my interactions with history – both the history being made in movements of which I have been a part (like the anti-Apartheid movement of the 1980s and Extinction Rebellion of the 2020s), as well as the history rooting all current struggles in their specific socio-cultural and geo-political pasts. I am an unorthodox marxist; lower-case “m.” My marxism is rooted in exposure (as a teenager and ever since) to the persuasive and radical works of Trinidadian Marxist, CLR James; “persuasive and radical” to me because of his Pan-African, feminist, ‘from below’ perspective, as might be

ABSTRACT The value of many natural resources is not fixed; it depends on factors both intrinsic and external to the commodity; such is the case of precious stones. These commodities are termed “speculative commodities.” Here, I take the example of gemstones and conceptually trace and analyse the process of their commodification, with the help of Marxist theory and its various derivatives. The process of commodification and value addition that these resources go through are unique: partly, value is added and created through labour and their specialised artisanal crafts, but the major part of the profit is generated through discursive mechanisms of stories and narratives, the manipulation of supplies, and the manufacturing of demands through advertisements around each stone to make it valuable and pricey. The diamond and gemstone industry reaps extravagant profits from the otherwise useless pieces of stones – barring some industrial uses and the aesthetic value that they have. But their aesthetic dimension hides the greed, lust, violence, and aggression inherent in their commodification – many of these stones emerge from conflicts in the Global South – and that this source and history only add to their allure.
