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. (...)

WHAT THEN IS SOCIALISM ACCORDING TO THE PROPHETS? To answer this question we have to look back and not forward, at the origin of Socialism in the scientific sense, placing it in the particular phase of social evolution to which it belongs. For though it is to be attained by the will and energy of men, it will not be attained how and when men please. It is neither pious hope nor moral aspiration but a new form of society which will arise for one reason and one only, the (...) -
Notes sur la dialectique
27 juillet, par Robert ParisC.L.R. James - Notes sur la dialectique
« Chacune des trois sphères de l’idée logique s’avère être un ensemble systématique de termes de pensée et une phase de l’Absolu. C’est le cas de l’Être, contenant les trois degrés de qualité, quantité et mesure.
La qualité est d’abord le caractère identique à l’être : si identique qu’une chose cesse d’être ce qu’elle est, si elle perd sa qualité. La quantité, au contraire, est le caractère extérieur à l’être, et n’affecte pas du tout l’être. (...) -

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 (...) -
C.L.R. James August The Voice of Africa
19 June 2022Facing 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 (...) -
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 (...) -
Notes on Dialectics: PART II The Hegelian Logic C L R James on Hegel
14 March 2009The Doctrine of Being
PRELIMINARY EXERCISES
You know, as I propose to myself to begin the actual Logic, I feel a slight chill. The Doctrine of Being. Harris, who ultimately wrote a very fine work on the Hegelian Logic, was a professor of philosophy and lecturer on Hegel at second-hand. Brockmeyer, Governor of Missouri, made a translation of the larger Logic and someone gave it to Harris. Harris says that he copied out the thing with his own hand, the whole thing, and when he was (...) -

LENIN AND SOCIALISM
THOUGH BEFORE VERY LONG THE SOVIET UNION WAS TO be the only Workers’ State in the world, the international Socialist revolution had begun. As time passed and the isolation of the Soviet Union became clear, it might have been thought that the dictatorship of the proletariat in Russia enforced by the situation inside the country was premature. Difficult and dangerous as was its position, liable to collapse at any time, yet the Soviet Union fitted into the (...) -

Expliquer en termes simples la doctrine de l’Etre de Hegel
25 juin, par Robert ParisExpliquer en termes simples la doctrine de l’Etre de Hegel
(Un chapitre de « Notes sur la dialectique » de C.L.R. James)
Alors que je me propose de commencer « La Logique » de Hegel proprement dite, je ressens un léger frisson.
Harris, qui a finalement écrit un très bel ouvrage sur la logique hégélienne, était professeur de philosophie et conférencier sur Hegel de seconde main. Brockmeyer, gouverneur du Missouri, a fait une traduction de la « Grande Logique » et quelqu’un l’a donnée (...)
