The Beginning of the Franco-Prussian War
In the Inaugural Address of the International Working Men’s Association, of November 1864, we said:
“If the emancipation of the working classes requires their fraternal concurrence, how are they to fulfill that great mission with a foreign policy in pursuit of criminal designs, playing upon national prejudices, and squandering in piratical wars the people’s blood and treasure?”
We defined the foreign policy aimed at by the International in (...)

Jim Crow in Los Angeles
24 December 2020“Jim Crow in Los Angeles”, Hal Draper, 1947
Over a hundred thousand people in Los Angeles live in a concentration camp.
Not the kind you read about over in Europe. No barbed wire, no gas chambers. That isn’t the only thing that makes a concentration camp.
Racial segregation, restriction of liberty, brutality in uniform, vigilante storm-troopers on the loose – these make the concentration camps that exist in American cities, and in Los Angeles.
They are the Jim Crow ghettos. Behind (...) -
Antonio Gramsci (1919) Unions and councils
29 May 2020Antonio Gramsci (1919)
Unions and councils
Source: L’Ordine Nuovo, 11 October 1919;
The proletarian organization which assembles, as the total expression of the worker and peasant mass, in the central offices of the Confederazione del Lavoro, is passing through a constitutional crisis similar in nature to the crisis in which the democratic parliamentary state vainly debates. The solution of one will be the solution of the other, since, resolving the problem of the will of power in (...) -
BACON – HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY
7 December 2021BACON – HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY
There was already being accomplished the abandonment of the content which lies beyond us, and which through its form has lost the merit it possessed of being true, and is become of no significance to self-consciousness or the certainty of self and of its actuality; this we see for the first time consciously expressed, though not as yet in a very perfect form, by Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans. He is therefore instanced as in the (...) -
Hegel and Schelling (1802) - The Critical Journal of Philosophy
3 January 2022IN WHATEVER DOMAIN OF ART or [speculative] science it is employed, criticism requires a standard which is just as independent of the person who makes the judgment as it is of the thing that is judged – a standard derived neither from the singular [i.e. the immediate occasion for critical judgment] nor from the specific character of the [judging] subject, but from the eternal and unchangeable model [Urbild] of what really is [die Sache selbst]. Just as the idea of fine art is not first (...)

Discontinuities of Darwinian Evolution and Revolution of Species
28 November 2017, by Robert ParisDiscontinuities of Darwinian Evolution and Revolution of Species
Stephen Jay Gould writes in "The Structure of the Theory of Evolution"
"Many evolutionists consider that a strict continuity between micro and macro-evolution is an essential ingredient of Darwinism and the necessary corollary of natural selection. (...) Thomas Henry Huxley had separated the natural selection from gradualism and warned Darwin that his frank and unsubstantiated adherence to gradualism could undermine his (...) -
STALIN RUINS THE CHINESE REVOLUTION

STALIN RUINS THE CHINESE REVOLUTION
EVEN WHILE THE STALINISTS, BY FALSIFICATION AND PHYSICAL repression, were destroying the propagandists of international Socialism, the world revolution which had seemed so remote in October, 1924, stirred itself, and even while the new theory was being made law presented the International with one of its greatest opportunities. We have to pass over how the Stalinists forced the Communist Party of Poland to support Pilsudski in the coup (...) -
Leon Trotsky - Workers’ Control of Production
29 September 2021, by Robert ParisLeon Trotsky
Workers’ Control of Production
(August 1931)
In answering your question I will endeavor to jot down here, as a preliminary to an exchange of opinions, a few general considerations pertaining to the slogan of workers’ control of production.
The first question that arises in this connection is: Can we picture workers’ control of production as a stable regime, not everlasting, of course, but of quite long duration? In order to reply to the question it is necessary to (...) -

Socialism, by Engels
12 January 2022The materialist conception of history starts from the proposition that the production and, next to production, the exchange of things produced, is the basis of all social structure; that in every society that has appeared in history, the manner in which wealth is distributed and society divided into classes or estates is dependent upon what is produced, how it is produced, and how the products are exchanged. From this point of view the final causes of all social changes and political (...)
