The latest International Socialism journal is out, and it has some particular goodies worth checking out in advance of Marxism 2010. To wit: Sebastien Budgen's superlative tribute to Daniel Bensaid; Joseph Choonara's review of an intriguing pair of books by Dimitris Milonakis and Ben Fine; Gonzalo Pozo on the permanent arms economy; Ian Birchall on anarchism; and Gareth Dale and Xanthe Whittaker on sex work.

While I'm here, I had meant to plug the ISO's annual Socialism conference that took place in Chicago recently. Instead, here is the excellent We Are Many website, which boasts an array of radical MP3s and videos, including comprehensive coverage of the Socialism event. Several ISO luminaries will be speaking at Marxism this year.
