• The first open declaration of opposition by old Bolshevik leaders to Stalinism in 1923
  27 December 2021

  The Platform of the 46
  A week after Leon Trotsky had sent his letter to the Central Committee 46 prominent Bolsheviks, some of whom occupied leading posts in economic management, presented their own criticism of the economic and inner-Party policy of the Party leadership of Kamenev, Zinoviev, Stalin, Rykov and Tomsky. This statement of opposition which became known as ‘The Platform of the 46’ was submitted to the Politburo on October 15, 1923, after being circulated among a number of (...)

• Three uprisings in South Korea
  10 July 2022, by Robert Paris

  Three uprisings in South Korea INTRODUCTION
  Let us first recall that it was British and American imperialism that demanded that Stalin militarily occupy northern Asia and notably northern Korea while they occupied the south. Let us also remember that this had no military purpose because the war was then won in Japan crushed under the bombs and which only asked to capitulate. What motivated these imperialisms was the fear of a social revolution. In Korea, struck by misery and feudalism, (...)

  The End of the Comintern And The Prospects of Labor Internationalism James P. Cannon
  Comrade Chairman, Comrades:
  The formal dissolution of the Communist International is undoubtedly an event of great historical significance, even though everybody understands that it is simply the formal certification of a fact that was long since accomplished. Some of the bourgeois commentators and politicians may exaggerate a bit when they speak of the dissolution of the Communist International as the (...)

• C L R James, World Revolution 1917-1936 The Rise and Fall of the Communist International
  7 March 2009

  Chapter 1 MARXISM
  WHAT THEN IS SOCIALISM ACCORDING TO THE PROPHETS? To answer this question we have to look back and not forward, at the origin of Socialism in the scientific sense, placing it in the particular phase of social evolution to which it belongs. For though it is to be attained by the will and energy of men, it will not be attained how and when men please. It is neither pious hope nor moral aspiration but a new form of society which will arise for one reason and one only, the (...)

• Le front populaire de 1936 en France était le pire ennemi de la grève ouvrière de masse contre la misère, le fascisme et la guerre
  4 mars, par Robert Paris

  Le front populaire de 1936 en France était le pire ennemi de la grève ouvrière de masse contre la misère, le fascisme et la guerre
  Ou les lendemains qui déchantent...
  La popularité du front « populaire » est due à un double contresens : il est pris comme un gouvernement qui appuyait la révolte ouvrière contre le fascisme et les capitalistes. Il est tout le contraire. Il n’a pas levé le petit doigt ni contre les uns ni contre les autres. Deuxième contresens : la vague de grève n’est (...)

• The revolution betrayed
  3 May 2008

  The Purpose of the Present Work
  The bourgeois world at first tried to pretend not to notice the economic successes of the soviet regime – the experimental proof, that is, of the practicability of socialist methods. The learned economists of capital still often try to maintain a deeply cogitative silence about the unprecedented tempo of Russia’s industrial development, or confine themselves to remarks about an extreme “exploitation of the peasantry”. They are missing a wonderful (...)

According to Roy Medvedev, Let History Judge, (p.257), in 1964 the author’s widow, a resident of France, brought the original of the letter to Moscow. It circulated widely through samizdat channels in the mid-1960s. The translator is indebted to the Current Affairs Research Section (...)
