THE MAKHNO MOVEMENT
There is Soviet Great Russia and there is the Soviet Ukraine.
And besides them there is also another, little-known state, namely, Gulyay-Polye. This is ruled by the headquarters of a certain Makhno. To start with, he had a guerrilla detachment, then a brigade, then, apparently, a division, and now all this has been repainted almost into a special insurgent ‘army’. Against whom are Makhno’s men rebelling ? This question needs to be given a clear answer – an answer in (...)

Contribution to the debate on the dialectic philosophy concerning the mode of formation and transformation of matter, life, man and society
14 August 2009, by Robert Paris, Tiekoura Levi Hamed"If simple mechanical change of place contains a contradiction, this is even more true of the higher forms of motion of matter, and especially of organic life and its development. ... life consists precisely and primarily in this—that a being is at each moment itself and yet something else. Life is therefore also a contradiction which is present in things and processes themselves, and which constantly originates and resolves itself; and as soon as the contradiction ceases, life, too, comes (...)

The Chinese Revolution and the Theses of Comrade Stalin May 17, 1927
The theses of comrade Stalin entitled Problems of the Chinese Revolution were published in Pravda on April 21, 1927, a few days after the close of the plenary session of the Central Committee [1], to which these theses were never presented and at which they were never discussed (although all the members of the plenum were still in Moscow).

Autobiography of Ilya Prigogine
11 juillet 2009, par Robert ParisIn his memorable series "Etudes sur le temps humain", Georges Poulet devoted one volume to the "Mesure de l’instant".1 There he proposed a classification of authors according to the importance they give to the past, present and future.

Mao Dze Dong and the chinese "revolution"
2 juillet 2009, par Robert ParisThe strategy of Mao is nationalism. It is not a social revolution but a military struggle without control of proletarian forces of the towns. Its strategy is allaince with the Kuomintang and, after, alliance with the US impérialism during the war against japanese imperialism. He does not struggle against Kuomintang on social bases (even on paysant ones) but on national bases. It is not a paysant war but a nationalist one.
