ABSTRACT This article argues that insistence on adaptation to climate change, popularised by the rich nations of the Global North, is crowding out discussions on mitigation strategies. Mitigation (or degrowth) is central to formulating a fair and collective strategy to tackle the climate crisis at the global scale. In this context, we have calculated the historical cumulative emissions, material footprints, and carbon debt, which are essential prerequisites to tackling the climate crisis. This article empirically proves that the Global North owes a huge carbon debt based on historical cumulative emissions. We estimate the carbon debt of all the outlier countries (carbon debtors) to be US$ 3127.28 trillion, of which the US (the United States) and EU (European Union, including 28 countries) owe US$ 1174.19 and US$ 771.90 trillion, respectively. The paper concludes that any adaptation policy requires settling this debt through directly financing adaptation operations in the poor countries of the Global South and effective mitigation (de-growth) policies in the Global North.

ABSTRACT Marx’s proposition concerning the conditions under which older social formations are destroyed and superior relations of production become established represents a fundamental concept of scientific socialism. No social formation ceases to exist so long as the relations of production that underlie it are still capable of driving the development of the productive forces at a relatively rapid pace. Here, the term “productive forces” refers to the overall state of the productive forces in all the countries that make up the social formation as a whole, and not just to the productive forces of one or several countries. Once the material conditions have matured for a social formation that corresponds to these conditions, that new social formation will come into being. The “material conditions for its existence,” of course, cannot simply be equated with the productive forces. A correct understanding of the changing material conditions involved is essential for a firm confidence in the socialist ideal, and for a determined strategic pursuit of the socialist course.

ABSTRACT The right-wing movement in India received an impetus in 2014 with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), capturing governmental power at the national level. Among the fundamental traits of the right-wing movement in India, as in America, is what is called post-truth. The latter is a condition where blatant lies (or half-truths) are deliberately produced and spread on a massive scale, for an ideological and political purpose. The post-truth condition has important intellectual and political implications. For example, given its commitment to claims that are without any objective basis, the right-wing movement sees society as divided into groups on the basis of subjective criteria (e.g., religion). Thus it denies the objective basis for seeing a society as class-society. It also concomitantly denies the state as class-state. A directly political implication of post-truthism is the accumulation of lies by means of the suppression of dissent. The right-wing movement, including its post-truthism, does not hang in the air, however. It has a solid political-economic foundation. This article critically discusses the post-truth character of India’s right-wing movement, and explains how it is that the overall character of India’s capitalist economy is behind this. The broader arguments of the article have wider applicability beyond India.

ABSTRACT The analysis of the labor process in the Grundrisse is an interesting case of the relationship between theory and history. It expresses perfectly the reality of the productive forces in today’s historical moment. Eschewing the mistaken notion that it was a portent of something that would only come to pass in the late 20th century, what is presented is a true enigma: how could an analysis of the productive reality of the mid-19th century portray the reality that ensued from a true revolution that only began in the last quarter of the 20th century? The answer should be sought in the emergence of Taylorism-Fordism, with its conceptually delayed nature, in truth, a reinvention of manufacturing system. The microelectronics revolution eliminated this mediocritizing deviation, conforming production in every segment entirely to the Grundrisse.
ABSTRACT The analysis of the labor process in the Grundrisse is an interesting case of the relationship between theory and history.它完美地表达了当今历史时刻生产力的现实。摒弃那种认为它预示着 20 世纪末才会出现的东西的错误观念，它所呈现的是一个真正的谜团：对 19 世纪中叶生产力现实的分析如何能够描绘出 20 世纪最后 25 年才开始的真正革命所带来的现实？答案应该从泰勒主义-福特主义的出现中寻找，它在概念上具有滞后性，实际上是对制造系统的重塑。微电子革命消除了这一平庸的偏差，使各个环节的生产完全符合 "基本原则"。

ABSTRACT In recent years, labour studies have had a major focus on digital platforms, given the great challenge of categorizing them and the enormous social impact caused by them. However, most of these recent studies have a strong empirical character, with a richness of description, but a certain lack of theoretical development. Within this framework, this article proposes a re-theorization of the main social relations of work through digital platforms, highlighting the main contradictions existing in the current debate and how digital platforms reproduce in new concrete ways the processes of subsumption and constitution of a reserve army.
