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 (...)

Elizabeth Holmes, CEO of Theranos, being recognized for her talents within the capitalist system.
Theranos Conviction Shows that Lying and Fraud are Part of the System
Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of Theranos, a health technology company, was convicted of conspiracy to defraud investors and wire fraud. While we can all be happy that Holmes was caught in the act and has fallen from her perch of wealth and power, we should not lose sight of the larger lessons – that Holmes and her (...)

Trotsky’s Place In History, By C.L.R. James
THE bourgeoisie, perforce lacking historical method and suborning all aspects of life to the maintenance of power, has not only confused the proletariat but has confused itself in the estimation of what constitutes greatness in contemporary men. Woodrow Wilson, Poincaré, Stanley Baldwin and similar mediocrities have all been crowned with the laurel, not excluding Nicholas Murray Butler, on the score presumably that he had dined often with the (...)

Is it advisable for one who is not an expert on economic and social issues to express views on the subject of socialism ? I believe for a number of reasons that it is.
Let us first consider the question from the point of view of scientific knowledge. It might appear that there are no essential methodological differences between astronomy and economics : scientists in both fields attempt to discover laws of general acceptability for a circumscribed group of phenomena in order to make the (...)

Karl Marx and Frederick Engels Writings on the U.S. Civil War
Karl Marx,
The North American Civil War
London, October 20, 1861
For months the leading weekly and daily papers of the London press have been reiterating the same litany on the American Civil War. While they insult the free states of the North, they anxiously defend themselves against the suspicion of sympathising with the slave states of the South. In fact, they continually write two articles: one article, in which they (...)

The 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 (...)

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 these (...)
