Dialectic is neither fiction nor mysticism, but a science of the forms of our thinking insofar as it is not limited to the daily problems of life but attempts to arrive at an understanding of more complicated and drawn-out processes. The dialectic and formal logic bear a relationship similar to that between higher and lower mathematics.
I will here attempt to sketch the substance of the problem in a very concrete form. The Aristotelian logic of the simple syllogism starts from the (...)

Anarchism in Spain
(January 1938)
The appearance of Rudolf Rocker’s The Tragedy of Spain warrants a proposal to the anarchists of the English-speaking world for a basic discussion of the role of anarchism in the Spanish revolution. As events dictate, Rocker’s pamphlet is in large part a damning indictment of the bourgeois-Stalinist counter-revolution. We subscribe to every jot and tittle of that indictment. Our comrades throughout the world have undertaken as their (...) -

The Fall of the Provisional Government
WEDNESDAY, November 7th, I rose very late. The noon cannon boomed from Peter-Paul as I went down the Nevsky. It was a raw, chill day. In front of the State Bank some soldiers with fixed bayonets were standing at the closed gates.
“What side do you belong to?” I asked. “The Government?”
“No more Government,” one answered with a grin, “Slava Bogu! Glory to God!” That was all I could get out of him&….

Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy in General
27 January 2022Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy in General
Karl Marx - 1844
This is perhaps the place at which, by way of explanation and justification, we might offer some considerations in regard to the Hegelian dialectic generally and especially its exposition in the Phänomenologie and Logik and also, lastly, the relation (to it) of the modern critical movement.[42]
So powerful was modern German criticism’s preoccupation with the past – so completely was its development entangled with the (...) -
The Korean Working Class: From Mass Strike to Casualization and Retreat, 1987-2008
25 June 2008The Korean Working Class: From Mass Strike to Casualization and Retreat, 1987-2008
Loren Goldner
ABSTRACT
Similar to patterns that have been played out in Spain and Portugal (1974-76) as well as in Brazil (1978-83) since the mid-1970’s, the Korean working class in the late 1980’s destroyed the foundations of a decades-old military dictatorship with remarkable mass strikes in the years 1987-1990. The strikes resulted in the creation, briefly (1990-1994) of radical democratic unions (...) -
Quand Staline empuantissait la poésie
11 mars 2013, par Robert Paris"Ô, Grand Staline"
Ô Grand Staline, Ô chef des peuples ;
Toi qui fais naître l’homme
Toi qui féconde la terre
Toi qui rajeunis les siècles
Toi qui fais fleurir le printemps
Toi qui fais vibrer les cordes musicales
Tu es la fleur de mon printemps
Un soleil reflété par des millions de coeurs humains.
Rashimov, poème publié dans la Pravda, 28 aôut 1936.

Fascism and big business, Daniel Guerin
10 February 2009, by Robert ParisA PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS ILLUSION consists in regarding fascism, despite the horror it inspires, as a progressive political phenomenon – as a passing and even necessary, though painful, stage. Rash prophets have announced ten times, a hundred times, the imminent and inevitable crumbling of the fascist dictatorship in Italy or Germany under the blows of the victorious revolution. They have asserted that fascism, by driving class antagonisms to their highest degree of tension, is hastening (...)

Critical Battle Against French Materialism
23 March 2022, by Robert ParisCritical Battle Against French Materialism
Karl Marx, The Holy Family
“Spinozism dominated the eighteenth century both in its later French variety, which made matter into substance, and in deism, which conferred on matter a more spiritual name.... Spinoza’s French school and the supporters of deism were but two sects disputing over the true meaning of his system.... The simple fate of this Enlightenment was its decline in romanticism after being obliged to surrender to the reaction (...)
