An ongoing debate on this list has been the location and site of struggle 
and 
resistance, and the kind of periodization of   Critical analysis.   In my 
work, rooted in the tradition of the Frankfurt school, given the tradition 
of 
expanding upon the critique of Marx, I have often pointed out  the extent 
to 
which the critique of political economy must consider the radical changes 
in 
political economy in the present age in which the same technologies of 
globalization  serve both hegemonic and counterhegemonic ends.  In any 
event, 
as we face the information revolution, the "third wave", the post 
industrial 
society,  cybernetic age or what ever, (except for post modern/post 
structural escapes to hypereal dream worlds) I would like to encourage 
everyone to take a look at Cy Rev, a journal largely by activists in the 
computer community. Many of you may know that the editor, Carl Davidson and 
I 
ran the Midwest Radical Scholars and Activist conference for a number of 
year.  So consider this a commericial and product endorsement, but the next 
revolution will depend on the internet...so check out Cy.Rev today---and 
feel 
free to post this to other left/progressive lists.   . Lauren Langman



This is an invitation to visit www.cyrev.net  This site is the host to the 
revolutionary journal, cy.Rev, "A Journal of Cybernetic Revolution, 
Sustainable Socialism & Radical Democracy", other related contributions and 
political discussions based on these articles.

We are dedicated to updating the revolutionary tradition to take into 
account 
the explosion of the information economy, globalization, environmental 
destruction and the current struggles of the masses of humanity for 
survival, 
justice and dignity. 

The Current Issue takes you to the latest issue of cy.Rev. The Archive 
contains all previous issues including our grounbreaking Promise And Peril 
of 
the Third Wave in Issue 1. Contributions contains additional articles that 
are of interest to cy.Rev readers. Please note the articles by Jerry Harris 
on the new Transnationalist Capitalist Class and by Joh Beckwith exposing 
the 
latest fallacies to come out of the "IQists" (scientists who continue to 
attempt to "prove" a link between IQ and genetics).

Please visit our current issue and our archives. Every article ends with a 
feedback form. In that way you can compose your ideas while they are still 
fresh. It takes us a few days to process your feedback, but we will 
eventually place it in the appropriate feedback page. Don't worry about 
which 
article (or issue) you are responding to, we will know that when we receive 
your comments.

The Feedback link (also at left) takes you to the discussion. Right now, as 
we begin, we are classifying feedback comments by issue. If we get enough 
activity, we may attempt to provide some threaded discussion capabilities.

We believe debate among revolutionaries is critical in this period. We urge 
people to use the feedback form and to submit articles.
