Definitions of religion, like definitions of the state, generally tell us more about the social and political allegiances of the author of a given definition than about the true nature of religion or the state. Loyalties – that is, class interests and class outlook – are transferred into definitions; especially is this true of religion. Typical of such definitions is a theologian’s formula for Christianity as ‘the synthesis of the highest aspirations of man’. The fact that definitions are (...)

We must confess that it was with no little prejudice that we took up the book of this Roman professor. We had been rather frightened by certain works of some of his compatriots – A. Loria, for example (see, in particular, La teoria economica della constituzione politica). But a perusal of the very first pages was enough to convince us that we had been mistaken, and that Achille Loria is one thing and Antonio Labriola (...) -

Communism and stalinism in USA
27 September 2008, by Robert ParisThe End of the Comintern And The Prospects of Labor Internationalism James P. Cannon
Comrade Chairman, Comrades:
The formal dissolution of the Communist International is undoubtedly an event of great historical significance, even though everybody understands that it is simply the formal certification of a fact that was long since accomplished. Some of the bourgeois commentators and politicians may exaggerate a bit when they speak of the dissolution of the Communist International as the (...) -
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 (...) -

Christian Rakovsky against Stalinism
Speech to the Fifteenth Party Congress
(December 1927)
Comrades! The sphere of international relations is that sphere which necessitates the greatest unity in the party. Our foreign enemy is the most dangerous of all enemies, both for our party and the proletarian dictatorship. [Voices: “That is way you are breaking up the party. You should have known this before! You should have remembered that on November 7th!”] (...) -
Le front populaire de 1936 en France était le pire ennemi de la grève ouvrière de masse contre la misère, le fascisme et la guerre
4 mars, par Robert ParisLe front populaire de 1936 en France était le pire ennemi de la grève ouvrière de masse contre la misère, le fascisme et la guerre
Ou les lendemains qui déchantent...
La popularité du front « populaire » est due à un double contresens : il est pris comme un gouvernement qui appuyait la révolte ouvrière contre le fascisme et les capitalistes. Il est tout le contraire. Il n’a pas levé le petit doigt ni contre les uns ni contre les autres. Deuxième contresens : la vague de grève n’est (...) -

Qui était Fourier
The Passionate Series by Charles Fourier
The series of groups is the method adopted by God in the organisation of the kingdoms of nature and of all created things. The naturalists, in their theories and classifications, have unanimously accepted this system of organisation; they could not have departed from it without coming into conflict with nature and falling into confusion.[28]

Communist Policy Toward Art
(1923)
It is untrue that revolutionary art can be created only by workers. Just because the revolution is a working-class revolution, it releases – to repeat what was said before – very little working-class energy for art. During the French Revolution, the greatest works which, directly or indirectly, reflected it, were created not by French artists, but by (...) -
Que proposaient le réformisme, le stalinisme et le trotskysme face à la montée fasciste en Allemagne ?
18 novembre 2009, par Robert Paris" L’arrivée au pouvoir des " nationaux-socialistes " signifierait avant tout l’extermination de l’élite du prolétariat allemand, la destruction de ses organisations, et la perte de sa confiance en ses propres forces et en son avenir. Comme les contradictions et les antagonismes ont atteint en Allemagne un degré extrême de gravité, le travail infernal du fascisme italien apparaîtra comme une expérience bien pâle et presque humanitaire en comparaison des crimes dont le national-socialisme (...)
