Ottawa Book Launch: The Communist Necessity
As part of the Peoples Social Forum, on August 23rd, J. Moufawad-Paul, author of MLM Mayhem! (http://moufawad-paul.blogspot.ca/) will be in Ottawa to attend the launch of his book, The Communist Necessity. A sleek and punchy treatise about the problems of social movementism and the need for a “new return” to a revolutionary communist tradition, The Communist Necessity is a philosophical intervention that forces the reader to think through the problems presented by contemporary capitalism that are not answered by mainstream left-wing theories of organization and strategy inherited from the anti-globalization movement.
According to Robert Biel, author of The Entropy of Capitalism, Moufawad-Paul’s book is “important and timely” and “profoundly reconnects with the histories and tradition of communism and places today’s struggles within that context.”
Join the Revolutionary Communist Party (www.pcr-rcp.ca) at Avant Garde Bar on August 23 at 17:30 as they launch The Communist Necessity and host the author. Following a presentation and discussion of the book, there will be a meet-and-greet where the author will be present to answer any further questions.

Le 23 aoĂ»t prochain, Josh Moufawad-Paul sera Ă Ottawa pour assister au lancement de son essai, The Communist Necessity. Ouvrage mĂ©ticuleux et percutant sur les limites du « mouvementisme » et la nĂ©cessitĂ© d’un « nouveau retour » Ă la tradition communiste rĂ©volutionnaire, The Communist Necessity force la lectrice ou le lecteur Ă rĂ©flĂ©chir aux problèmes posĂ©s par le capitalisme contemporain, auxquels les thĂ©ories et stratĂ©gies mises de l’avant par la gauche issue du mouvement altermondialiste ne rĂ©pondent guère.
Selon Robert Biel, auteur de The Entropy of Capitalism, le livre de Moufawad-Paul est « important et opportun » et tĂ©moigne d’une « profonde reconnexion avec l’histoire et la tradition communistes, dans lesquels il resitue les luttes actuelles ».
Joignez les partisanes et partisans du Parti communiste rĂ©volutionnaire au bar L’Avant-Garde le samedi 23 aoĂ»t Ă compter de 17 h 30, en compagnie de l’auteur. Le bar L’Avant-Garde est situĂ© au 135 1/2, rue Besserer, Ă Ottawa. Après la prĂ©sentation du livre et la pĂ©riode de discussion, nous nous dĂ©placerons au bar Atomic Rooster pour terminer la soirĂ©e.
