Socialisme og venstreorienterede ideologier

Dovevamo come operai mettere per iscritto la nostra solidarietà con gli operai ucraini che stanno combattendo armi alla mano contro l'imperialismo russo, dovevamo far luce su tutti i tentativi di nascondere l'essenza dei fatti: nell'epoca dell'imperialismo ci sono ancora guerre di liberazione delle nazioni oppresse e chi le nega serve l'imperialismo mondiale. Toccherà agli operai ucraini essere la forza più decisa per fermare l'aggressione e toccherà agli operai russi disertare dalle fila dell'esercito invasore, così va la storia. Se esiste un pensiero unico dei borghesi d'occidente a sostegno dell'Ucraina in concorrenza imperialista con la Russia esiste anche un pensiero unico dei preti e della piccola borghesia che in nome della pace e contro la guerra vorrebbe la resa degli ucraini allo Zar di Russia per il buon vivere in schiavitù. Bisognava fare i conti con questa "operazione speciale di propaganda" che viene da una cosiddetta sinistra che giustifica Putin e l'imperialismo russo e lo fa falsificando le posizioni dei grandi capi storici da Marx a Lenin, che qui abbiamo ampiamente richiamato per dare un senso a ciò che va inteso, in queste circostanze come internazionalismo operaio.

In this book the author presents for the first time the scientific concept of Deng Xiaoping Thought in a systematic way. It points out that Deng Xiaoping Thought is a theory that conforms to the main global current and fits China's circumstances and its goal of socialist modernization. It is a great creation which combines Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and the reality of China's contemporary second revolution. In this book, Wu Jie makes an exposition of both the theory and practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics as initiated by Deng Xiaoping, which have revealed a realistic way to success not only for China, but for the rejuvenation of international socialism as a whole. Not only does the work have a solid theoretical foundation, it also presents many original and valuable insights into Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and the world of actually existing socialism. Of all the studies of Deng Xiaoping's theories published either in China or abroad, "On Deng Xiaoping Thought," is essential reading.

Lenin’s texts breaking with Eurocentrism in the socialist movement

A collection of letters, diaries and various writings depicting the Lenin beyond political commitments

Exposes the destruction of academic careers--and the complicity of educational institutions--in McCarthy's AmericaThe Prosecution of Professor Chandler Davis tells the true tale of a mathematician who found himself taking an involuntary break from chalking equations to sit opposite a row of self-righteous anti-Communist congressmen at the height of the McCarthy era. Courageously asserting the First Amendment to confront a system rapidly descending into fascism, Davis testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). He became one of a small number of left wingers who served time for contempt of Congress. In this fascinating and disturbing narrative, author Steve Batterson takes a deep dive into extant archival records generated by the FBI, HUAC, the University of Michigan, and repositories holding the papers of former Supreme Court justices. He examines the plights of six faculty and graduate students--including three future members of the National Academy of Sciences--whose careers were disrupted by the anticommunist actions of a wide range of personnel at the University of Michigan. He focuses on the seemingly conflicting Supreme Court decisions on labor leader John Watkins and Vassar College Psychology instructor Lloyd Barenblatt. And he examines the role played in the trial by Felix Frankfurter, a longtime Associate Justice on the Supreme Court, close advisor of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and co-founder of the ACLU. In the process, Batterson exposes the ways that McCarthy's righteous emissaries relied on all kinds of institutions in 1950s America--from Hollywood studios to universities--to sabotage the careers of anyone with a trace of "Red."

[C]apitalism will not topple "through ... exhaustion." It will not "stop running on its own." It must be overthrown by a politically conscious, mass counter-force, and the primary issue for us concerns how such a force might develop... -from "Financialization and Hegemony" From the Communist Party of the 1950s, to autonomous European movements in 68 and the revolutionary armed liberation movements of the '70s and '80s, to the antifascist organizing of ARA in the '90s, to cutting-edge analysis of the fallout of on-going capitalist crisis, right up to today, Don Hamerquist's biography reads like a history of the post-war US radical left. But Hamerquist is not some political scenester, being blown by the winds of whatever latest fashion. Instead, he uses his decades of experience in collective struggle to analyze a world constantly in motion, always living his own advice to "look at what is new" - not a simple quest for novelty, but a prophylactic against getting mired in old left debates which are grounded in a world that no longer exists. Bridging gaps, sorting wheat from chaff, Hamerquist calls on those who (like him) still identify as Leninists to recognize the failures of the vanguard party and "actually existing socialism," while also calling on anarchists, who share his commitment to a struggle outside of and against the state, to recognize the necessity of disciplined organization and a rejection of purity politics. I think that it is a fundamental problem to look for a viable perspective for today in some segment of this tradition or in the positions taken by some set of historical figures as if it is something to discover. Instead, we have to realize that this perspective is not there to discover, it must be created out of the ingredients that exist-one of which is our collective history-through an effort of will and analysis.-from "Thoughts About Organization" In this book, a selection of Hamerquist's writings from 2000 to 2022 - some of his contribution to this creative "effort of will and analysis" - have been collected together for the first time. Written as emails to comrades or for the websites of various collective, radical left projects, these essays touch on the anti-globalization movement, anti-fascism, revolutionary organization, Occupy, the 2008 financial crisis, changes in global capitalism, Ferguson, state repression, and more. Along with their specific content, Hamerquist's work offers a model for conducting revolutionary analysis: always in conversation, humble without retreating disagreement, historically-informed without being stuck in the past, moving fluidly between the specific and the general, the global and the local, the theory and the practice. With Introductions from both Hamerquist and Dave Ranney (with whom he has been in conversation since their days in the Sojourner Truth Organization together in the '70s and '80s) and editorial material designed to make Hamerquist's wide-ranging references accessible to any reader, this book is an invaluable tool for anyone who want to make a contribution to the development of a left capable of committed and unrelenting struggle against the logic of capital, while also being "accessible to regular-assed people."

Between crisis mode and a spirit of renewal: where is democracy heading? The challenges facing the political system in Germany to find the right answers in the future may never have been greater.The Futurium, the House of Futures in Berlin, is focusing on the futures of democracy in its new theme. It is about democracy in progress: what experiences do people in Germany have with this democracy, how do they advocate for participation and involvement, what wishes and desires do they have?For example, we meet a city school spokesperson in Frankfurt/Main, a blind musician in Berlin, a former civil rights activist from East Germany in Leipzig, a local politician from Cameroon in a village near Munich, and a young Muslim woman in Mönchengladbach who is committed to diversity.A journey through the republic in ten encounters.From person to person.

Loon, prijs en winst is een overzicht van toespraken door Marx in antwoord op stellingen van Weston: (1) Kan de sociale en materiële toestand van de arbeidersklasse door hogere lonen verbeterd worden? en (2). Hebben de bemoeiingen van de vakverenigingen om hogere lonen te bereiken niet een schadelijke uitwerking op andere industrietakken? Het werd aanvankelijk niet gepubliceerd, omdat Marx aan Het Kapitaal werkte. Na zijn dood werd het alsnog gepubliceerd als toegankelijke inleiding.

De 'Kritiek op het programma van Gotha' behoort tot de voornaamste geschriften uit de politieke nalatenschap van Karl Marx. Het kwam tot stand in 1875, het jaar waarin de twee voornaamste arbeiderspartijen van Duitsland, de marxistisch geïnspireerde Sociaal-democratische Arbeiderspartij (de "Eisenachers") en de Algemene Duitse Arbeidersbond van de in 1864 overleden socialist Ferdinand Lassalle, besloten zich te verenigen tot de Socialistische Arbeiderspartij.Marx en Engels waarschuwden echter om "de eenwording te laten afhangen van de mate van hun [de lassaleanen] bereidheid af te zien van hun sectarische leuzen en van hun 'staatshulp' en in principe het Eisenachse programma van 1869 aan te nemen..." Het eenheidsprogramma dat in Gotha werd opgesteld liet echter veel ruimte voor de voor de utopische hersenspinsels van Lassalle.

In dit werk bekritiseert Marx de economische (hoofdstuk 1) en filosofische (hoofdstuk 2) doctrine van P.J. Proudhon.Marx begon aan dit boek te werken in januari 1847, zoals blijkt uit Engels' brief aan Marx van 15 januari 1847. Tegen april 1847 was het werk volledig af en werd het gepubliceerd. Op 15 juni schreef hij een kort voorwoord.'De armoede van de filosofie. Antwoord op Proudhons Filosofie van de armoede' door Karl Marx was in het Frans geschreven, in 1847 in Parijs en Brussel uitgegeven.

"An illustrated guide to socialism for budding anticapitalists who know it's time to dump their toxic ex (Capitalism) and try something finer. Journalist Malaika Jabali debunks myths, centers forgotten socialists of color who have shaped our world, and shows socialism is not all Marx and Bernie Bros-it can be pretty sexy"--

"The gloomy prospect of climate change and ecosystems' collapse calls for an urgent rethinking of all aspects of our life: how we work, produce, eat, spend, take care of each other, relate to nature, and organize our societies. Prefigurative initiatives are attracting a growing amount of attention from scholars and activists precisely because they are envisioning alternative futures by embodying radically different ways of living in the present. This is the go-to book for anyone seeking a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, and thought-provoking introduction to the thriving field of prefigurative politics"--

In the context of sustained economic and environmental crises, marked by extreme inequalities of wealth, rising xenophobia, racism and precarity, never has the need for a radical change of system been so pressing. This book is an invitation to think the world otherwise. The author breathes new life into socialist thought through the deployment of an intersectional lens, bringing diverse struggles for emancipation both within and outside the Global North into dialogue with one another. In doing so, he offers the kind of bold and holistic thinking the present situation calls for.

Angel in the Forest is Marguerite Young's fascinating chronicle of two attempts to establish utopian communities in nineteenth-century America.In it, she  recounts the strange tale of New Harmony, Indiana, a community originally founded in 1814 by the German mystic Father George Rapp, who wanted to apply Scriptural communism to daily life in order to bring about the New Jerusalem. It was sold in 1825 to Robert Owen, the father of British socialism who, with a group of English immigrants, implemented his own theories for a perfect community, this time based on rationalism.Both experiments failed, but Young finds in both a distinctively American yearning for utopia, which continues to characterize the American spirit to this day: a tradition of faith and folly can be traced from Owen's New Moral World to George Bush's New World Order.Written with the same elegance, wit, and lyric beauty that distinguishes her fiction, Angel in the Forest was widely praised upon its first publication in 1945. This edition includes Mark Van Doren's introduction to Scribner's 1966 reprint.
