Class, Race, Revolution, and the Humanist Imperative
This article advances a revolutionary framework for humanist sociology grounded in the struggle for human emancipation amid intensifying capitalist crisis, racialized exploitation, ecological collapse, and emergent fascist rule.

Race, Class, and Revolution in the Twenty-First Century
We analyze class, race, and revolution in the United States through Marxist theory and philosophy, and the experience and lessons from the League of Revolutionary Black Workers (League) in the auto and related plants and community in Detroit in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The League brought the black liberation movement to the point of production. They grasped the dialectics and interpenetration of class exploitation and racial oppression wit…
