• The Materialist Conception of History

  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 (...)

• Religion : its social roots and role
  2 June 2008, by Robert Paris

  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 (...)

• L’« union sacrée » entre organisations politiques et syndicales, autrefois révolutionnaires ou prolétariennes, et les bouchers impérialistes de la première guerre mondiale
  12 septembre, par Karob

  L’« union sacrée » entre organisations politiques et syndicales, autrefois révolutionnaires ou prolétariennes, et les bouchers impérialistes de la première guerre mondiale
  En 1914, en soutien aux classes possédantes entrées dans la guerre mondiale, ce n’est pas seulement la CGT et la SFIO (et toute la social-démocratie) qui passent du côté de l’ennemi… de classe dans l’union sacrée mais aussi une grande partie de l’anarchisme qui montrera encore son visage contre révolutionnaire, comme (...)

  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]

• The growth of socialism, Eugen Debs

  The 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 (...)

• Y a-t-il une continuité des organisations révolutionnaires de Marx à Lénine et Trotsky, de la première à la deuxième et à la troisième internationale, ou même de la Ligue des communistes à la quatrième internationale de Trotsky et au trotskysme d’aujourd’hui ? Non !
  31 octobre 2009, par Robert Paris, Tiekoura Levi Hamed

  La plupart des groupes révolutionnaires se revendiquent, disent-ils, de la continuité qui irait de Marx à Lénine, Trotsky et au delà au trotskysme pour certains...
  De quelle type de continuité s’agit-il ? Celle des buts ? Celle des idées ? Celle des programmes ? Celle des organisations ? Ce sont des considérations de type très différent.
  Si c’est celle des idées et des analyses, reconnaissons d’abord qu’il n’y a pas continuité au sein même de chacun de ces dirigeants révolutionnaires. (...)

• Communism and stalinism in USA
  27 September 2008, by Robert Paris

  The 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 (...)

• Communist policy toward art
  28 May 2008, by Robert Paris

  ...........................The surrealist group.................................
  Leon Trotsky
  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 (...)
