C L R James 1939 The Right of Self-Determination and the Negro in the United States of North Americas
Source: SWP New York Convention Resolutions, 11 July 1939.
In 1930 Negroes in America constituted nearly twelve million, or 10 percent of the American population. Of these, two-thirds were still in the South, despite the war and postwar emigration to the North. In the cities of the North and East, the Negroes form only a small minority of the population, generally less than 10 percent. (...)

STALIN RUINS THE CHINESE REVOLUTION

STALIN RUINS THE CHINESE REVOLUTION
EVEN WHILE THE STALINISTS, BY FALSIFICATION AND PHYSICAL repression, were destroying the propagandists of international Socialism, the world revolution which had seemed so remote in October, 1924, stirred itself, and even while the new theory was being made law presented the International with one of its greatest opportunities. We have to pass over how the Stalinists forced the Communist Party of Poland to support Pilsudski in the coup (...) -
Claude Lévi-Strauss 1962 History and Dialectic
12 August 2019, by Robert ParisIn the course of this work I have allowed myself, not without ulterior motive, to borrow a certain amount of Sartre’s vocabulary. I wanted to lead the reader to face a problem, the discussion of which will serve to introduce my conclusion. The problem is to what extent thought that can and will be both anecdotal and geometrical may yet be called dialectical. The savage mind totalizes. It claims indeed to go very much further in this direction than Sartre allows dialectical reason, for, on (...)

CLASS SOCIETY AND THE STATE
1. The State: A Product of the Irreconcilability of Class Antagonisms
What is now happening to Marx’s theory has, in the course of history, happened repeatedly to the theories of revolutionary thinkers and leaders of oppressed classes fighting for emancipation. During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred (...) -
The growth of socialism, Eugen Debs
23 August 2008The growth of socialism
Eugen Debs
Not many of those schooled in old-party politics have any adequate conception of the true import of the labor movement. They read of it in the papers, discuss it in their clubs, criticise labor unions, condemn walking delegates, and finally conclude that organized labor is a thing to be tolerated so long, only, as it keeps within “proper bounds,” but to be put down summarily the moment its members, like the remnants of Indian tribes on the western (...) -
The dialectic of geology
17 June 2008from " Reason in Revolt: Marxism and Modern Science"
By Alan Woods and Ted Grant
There is an English saying, "as solid as the ground under our feet." This comforting idea, however, is very far from the truth. The earth beneath our feet is not as solid as it seems. The rocks, the mountain ranges, the continents themselves, are in a continuous state of movement and change, the exact nature of which has only begun to be understood in the latter half of this century. Geology is the (...) -
Dialectical Materialism and the Fate of Humanity

Dialectical Materialism and the Fate of Humanity
Mankind has obviously reached the end of something. The crisis is absolute. Bourgeois civilisation is falling apart, and even while it collapses, devotes its main energies to the preparation of further holocausts. Not remote states on the periphery but regimes contending for world power achieve the most advanced stages of barbarism known to history. What civilised states have ever approached Nazi Germany and Stalinist (...) -
Revolution and counter-revolution in Spain
19 September 2010FOR the new generations moving into political life a study of the Spanish Civil War of 1936–39 contains valuable lessons. This book, hammered out in time with the dramatic events it describes, stands in direct line with the great writings of Marx and Engels on the Revolutions of 1848 and the Paris Commune and Trotsky’s History of the Russian Revolution. No doubt later historical research has been able to uncover from the record a more detailed account of the facts, and the reports of (...)

Lumumba is one of the most beloved African leaders of the Independence. He was victim of the hate of the whole bourgeoisie, the leaders of Congo’s independence as well as all bourgeoisies in the world. And, first of all, the imperialist bourgeoisie of USA, Belgium and France, and their governments. And they killed him… But the people of Congo was (...) -
It is their crisis, not ours !
7 December 2008, by Robert ParisRising Unemployment:
Why Not Share The Work
With No Cut In Pay!
Unemployment is now officially over nine percent in California and expected to go higher. Jobs have been cut in construction, manufacturing, transportation, retail, the high tech and service sectors and city and state and federal governments.
In addition, there has been an increase in the numbers of workers who have had their hours cut or who are forced to work part-time because they can’t find a fulltime job. And many (...)
