The Lost Marxism of Critical Trotskyists

A review of Sean Matgamna’s The Fate of the Russian Revolution: Lost Texts of Critical Marxism (1) · 1989-91: End of an Era · The collapse of the Russian bloc gave a great boost to the right wing of capitalism who had long peddled the myth that the monstrosities of Stalinism represented the logical and inevitable outcome of the struggle for socialism.

Communist Work and the Trades Unions Today

Theses on Communist Tactics for the Periphery of Capitalism

Preamble · With capital's global domination over society the proletariat has become a global class. This is confirmed by the two fundamental characteristics of the term “proletariat”: a class in itself and a class for itself. As a class in itself - i.e. as the variable element of capital in the process of production and reproduction - the proletariat follows capitalism's international destiny.

The need to present an overview of this issue of Internationalist Communist draws sharply into focus the gravity of the situation faced by the world's workers. As the longest economic crisis in capitalism's history continues on its downward spiral there is no let-up in the attacks on the people who produce the world's wealth.
