• C.L.R. James August The Voice of Africa

  19 June 2022
  Facing Mount Kenya by Jomo Kenyatta, with an introduction by B. Malinowski Secker & Warburg. 12/6. If ever there was a book that students of Africa needed, this is it. The book describes an African people, the Gikuyu, as they were forty years ago just before British imperialism descended on them. Similar books have been written before? Yes; but by white men chiefly, of varying intelligence and honesty. But even the best, like the late Emil Torday, wrote from the outside. Mr. Jomo (...)
  
  

• Our Program and the Political Situation (December 1918)

  7 mars 2022, par Robert Paris
  Comrades ! Our task today is to discuss and adopt a program. In undertaking this task we are not motivated solely by the formal consideration that yesterday we founded a new independent party and that a new party must formulate an official program. Great historical movements have been the determining causes of today’s deliberations. The time has come when the entire Social Democratic socialist program of the proletariat has to be placed on a new foundation. Comrades ! In so doing, we connect (...)
  
  

• Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy in General

  27 January 2022
  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 subject-matter (...)
  
  

• Proletarians and Communism

  25 January 2022
  Proletarians and Communism Individuals, Class, and Community In the Middle Ages the citizens in each town were compelled to unite against the landed nobility to save their skins. The extension of trade, the establishment of communications, led the separate towns to get to know other towns, which had asserted the same interests in the struggle with the same antagonist. Out of the many local corporations of burghers there arose only gradually the burgher class. The conditions of life of (...)
  
  

• Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy

  24 January 2022
  Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy Frederick Engels PART I - HEGEL The volume before us (1) carries us back to a period which, although in time no more than a generation behind us, has become as foreign to the present generation in Germany as if it were already a hundred years old. Yet it was the period of Germany’s preparation for the Revolution of 1848; and all that has happened since then in our country has been merely a continuation of 1848, merely the (...)
  
  

• Inaugural Address of the International Working Men’s Association “The First International”

  23 January 2022
  Inaugural Address of the International Working Men’s Association “The First International” 1864 - Marx/Engels Workingmen: It is a great fact that the misery of the working masses has not diminished from 1848 to 1864, and yet this period is unrivaled for the development of its industry and the growth of its commerce. In 1850 a moderate organ of the British middle class, of more than average information, predicted that if the exports and imports of England were to rise 50 per cent, English (...)
  
  

• The Proletariat in Power, for Trotsky after 1905 Russian Revolution

  22 January 2022
  The Proletariat in Power, for Trotsky after 1905 Russian Revolution Revolution and the Proletariat Revolution is an open measurement of strength between social forces in a struggle for power. The State is not an end in itself. It is only a machine in the hands of the dominating social forces. Like every machine it has its motor, transmitting and executive mechanism. The driving force of the State is class interest; its motor mechanism is agitation, the press, church and school propaganda, (...)
  
  

• Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right

  21 January 2022
  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 superman, (...)

  20 janvier 2022
  Leon Trotsky - The New Course (1923) CHAPTER 1 The Question of the Party Generations None of the resolutions adopted during the discussion in Moscow, the complaint is made that the question of party democracy has been complicated by discussions on the relationships between the generations, personal attacks, etc. This complaint attests to a certain mental confusion. Personal attacks and the mutual relationships between generations are two entirely different things. To pose now the question (...)
