  • STALIN RUINS THE CHINESE REVOLUTION
    20 September, by Robert Paris

    C.L.LR. James
    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 (…)

  • A FOURTH INTERNATIONAL, THE ONLY HOPE
    9 January, by Robert Paris

    C.L.R. James
    A FOURTH INTERNATIONAL, THE ONLY HOPE
    THERE IS A LOGIC IN HISTORY AND DESPITE ALL THE rich and strange episodes of historical evolution there is a consistent line which can be followed. We can see the future of the Third International in the role it plays in the Spanish revolution. THE SPANISH REVOLUTION
    When Franco launched his attack on the Popular Front Government, that hybrid showed exactly what is to be expected from these political combinations of bourgeoisie and (…)

    Chapter 1 MARXISM
    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 (…)

  • C L R James, Dialectical Materialism and the Fate of Humanity
    15 January 2010

    C L R James 1947
    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 (…)

  • CLR James sur la Commune de Paris
    10 juin 2023, par Robert Paris

    « Ils ont montré la voie de l’émancipation ouvrière » CLR James
    La classe ouvrière américaine n’est pas encore aussi familière que la classe ouvrière européenne avec l’histoire et les traditions du mouvement socialiste révolutionnaire. Le 14 mars, anniversaire de la mort de Karl Marx, et le 18 mars, anniversaire de la Commune de Paris ne seront célébrés que par une petite minorité.
    Les travailleurs américains et l’héritage de Marx
    Alors que la crise internationale s’approfondit, le (…)

  • Stalinism and Fascism
    26 December 2021, by Robert Paris

    C.L.R. James
    “AFTER HITLER, OUR TURN”
    THE INTERNATIONAL PURGED
    AS THE STALINIST REGIME DESTROYED THE BOLSHEVIK party by slander and organisational terror (not against class-enemies, it must always be remembered, which all history proves to be necessary, inevitable and not in the least confined to Communists, but against honest, intelligent and devoted members of its own ranks), so it automatically transferred these methods to the International. [1]
    With the final expulsion of the (…)

  • La place de Trotsky dans l’histoire

    C.L .R. James -
    La place de Trotsky dans l’histoire
    (septembre 1940)
    Avertissement : il s’agit d’une traduction plus que sommaire
    Ici le texte en anglais :
    https://www.marxists.org/archive/james-clr/works/1940/09/trotsky-history.htm
    La bourgeoisie, forcément dépourvue de méthode historique et soumettant tous les aspects de la vie à la nécessité du maintien de son pouvoir, s’est non seulement méprise sur le prolétariat, mais est également trompée dans l’estimation de ce qui (…)
