A fresh batch of Historical Materialism PDFs has arrived, this time apparently hosted by the same people who posted the MECW last year.

So the Comintern congresses, the Bogdanov, the Austromarxism, and Economist writings are a welcome addition.

HM will likely have these taken down, but the cat is out of the bag. Copies will be made and distributed further. Omnia sunt communia.
