• « La crainte de la surpopulation se manifeste toujours dans les époques de crise et de décadence des sociétés », disait Auguste Bebel en 1891

  « La crainte de la surpopulation se manifeste toujours dans les époques de crise et de décadence des sociétés », disait Auguste Bebel en 1891
  Dans « La femme et le socialisme » d’Auguste Bebel :
  « Surpopulation
  « Partant du point de vue international où nous venons de nous placer, nous pouvons encore donner on toute liberté notre avis sur une autre question d’actualité brûlante, celle qui ressort pour quelques personnes de l’accroissement de la population. On en fait même une (...)

• Private Property and Communism
  17 September 2019

  The antithesis between lack of property and property, so long as it is not comprehended as the antithesis of labour and capital, still remains an indifferent antithesis, not grasped in its active connection, in its internal relation, not yet grasped as a contradiction. It can find expression in this first form even without the advanced development of private property (as in ancient Rome, Turkey, etc.). It does not yet appear as having been established by private property itself. But (...)

• Proudhon
  1 March 2009, by Robert Paris

  Article of Karl Marx
  PROUDHON
  Just as the first critical moves in every science are necessarily entangled in the assumptions of the science which they are intending to combat, so Proudhon’s work Qu’est ce que la propriété? is a criticism of political economy from the standpoint of political economy. Since the criticism of political economy forms the chief subject of interest, we need not here examine the legal section of the book, which criticizes law from the standpoint of law. (...)

  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 (...)

• Citations de Karl Marx, sur « le travail »…
  15 janvier 2021, par Robert Paris

  Citations de Karl Marx, sur « le travail »… « Le domaine de la liberté commence seulement là où l’on cesse de travailler par nécessité et opportunité imposée de l’extérieur ; il se situe donc par nature au-delà de la sphère de la production matérielle proprement dite. »
  Karl Marx, dans « Le Capital », Livre III)
  « Le travail lui-même est nuisible et funeste non seulement dans les conditions présentes, mais en général, dans la mesure où son but est le simple accroissement de la (...)

• Critical Battle Against French Materialism
  23 March 2022, by Robert Paris

  Critical 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 (...)

  Critique 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 (...)

• Karl Marx - A Critique of The German Ideology
  20 August 2019, by Robert Paris

  Preface
  Hitherto men have constantly made up for themselves false conceptions about themselves, about what they are and what they ought to be. They have arranged their relationships according to their ideas of God, of normal man, etc. The phantoms of their brains have got out of their hands. They, the creators, have bowed down before their creations. Let us liberate them from the chimeras, the ideas, dogmas, imaginary beings under the yoke of which they are pining away. Let us revolt (...)

• Y a-t-il une continuité des organisations révolutionnaires de Marx à Lénine et Trotsky, de la première à la deuxième et à la troisième internationale, ou même de la Ligue des communistes à la quatrième internationale de Trotsky et au trotskysme d’aujourd’hui ? Non !
  31 octobre 2009, par Robert Paris, Tiekoura Levi Hamed

  La plupart des groupes révolutionnaires se revendiquent, disent-ils, de la continuité qui irait de Marx à Lénine, Trotsky et au delà au trotskysme pour certains...
  De quelle type de continuité s’agit-il ? Celle des buts ? Celle des idées ? Celle des programmes ? Celle des organisations ? Ce sont des considérations de type très différent.
  Si c’est celle des idées et des analyses, reconnaissons d’abord qu’il n’y a pas continuité au sein même de chacun de ces dirigeants révolutionnaires. (...)

  Karl Marx - Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right
  Introduction
  For Germany, the criticism of religion has been essentially completed, and the criticism of religion is the prerequisite of all criticism.
  The profane existence of error is compromised as soon as its heavenly oratio pro aris et focis [“speech for the altars and hearths,” i.e., for God and country] has been refuted. Man, who has found only the reflection of himself in the fantastic reality of heaven, where he sought a (...)
