Study group update - meeting March 25th

Below is an update on the next study group meeting.  I
suggest a Lenin reading, but it probably doesn't add
to what is said in the other readings and is more of a
summary.  Please let interested people or calendars
know about this.  For more information email
alliance_trianglenc@hotmail.com.

The group was advertised at the Conference of Students
United for a Responsible Global Environment February
25th at NCCU and I plan to table March 18th at the
Fayetteville anti-war protest.

Triangle Marxist Forum March discussion on the
evolution of society (the theory of historical
materialism), Saturday March 25th at 1:30pm at Duke's
Center for Documentary Studies (cds.aas.duke.edu).
For the list of background readings see
durhamspark.blogspot.com.

Readings for the March meeting:

Marx and Engels:  Communist Manifesto, Sections I and
III

Engels:  The Origin of the Family, Private Propety,
and the State, Sections I and II

A Short History of the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union (Bolshevik),  Chapter 4 Section II

A useful overview:  Lenin:  The Teachings of Karl
Marx, Section I:  Marx's Teachings – The Class
Struggle

These readings are also available on the Web.
Marx2Mao is a recommended source, if it is still
available, and the Marxist Internet Archive might have
all of these readings as well.  Email me for help
finding texts.

The discussion won't be completely reading based, so
if you don't read everything you can still participate.  The

format will be a discussion based on what questions/comments

people bring and on general study questions.
