Uniform und Bewaffung revolutionärer Matrosen 1917

Im Vergleich mit der Gewalt an den Fronten des Ersten Weltkriegs verblasst die revolutionäre Gewalt des Jahres 1917. Wir leben in einer Welt der Gewalt und wir können es nicht vermeiden sie politisch zu betrachten.

1917 breitete sich die Gewalt des Krieges überall aus. Im Nachwort zur Geschichte der Russischen Revolution schrieb Trotzki:

Februarrevolution Parteien

Die Ausgangssituation der linken bzw. linksorientierten Gruppierungen nach der Februarrevolution 1917 in Russland war weitgehend identisch. Ihre führenden Funktionäre, die in der Regel im Exil lebten, drängten, von der Nachricht über die Revolution überrascht, nach Russland. Kriegsbedingt war die Verbindung zusammengebrochen. „Nach Rußland sind sämtliche Verbindungen abgerissen“, schrieb Leo Martow am 28.

The Poetry of The Communist Manifesto: a Combination of past and present

“Capitalism has subjected the country to the rule of the towns. It has created enormous cities. Capitalism has agglomerated population, centralised means of production, and has concentrated property in a few hands.” As many readers will know, Karl Marx wrote these words, but used ‘bourgeoisie’ instead of capitalism. The words were swapped in a 2012 lecture by John Lanchester (he of Whoops, and Capital) marking Marx’s 193rd birthday, to show how prescient he was in describing the structure of capitalism and the way in which it changes the landscape.

“… before all else a revolutionist”. Marx and the question of strategy

The multiple crisis of capitalism goes hand in hand with a multiple crisis of the left. And amidst this crisis, we find ourselves commemorating the 200th birthday of Karl Marx and the 150th anniversary of the publication of the first volume of Capital. But how are we to treat Marx and his works? How important is he for us today – for our capacity to transform the world in practice?

Read Karl Marx! A Conversation with Immanuel Wallerstein

Immanuel Wallerstein (www.iwallerstein.com), currently a Senior Research Scholar at Yale University, New Haven – USA, is among the greatest living sociologists and one of the most appropriate scholars to discuss the current relevance of Marx. He has been a reader of Marx for long time and his work has been influenced by the theories of the revolutionary born in Trier, on 5 May 1818. Wallerstein has authored more than 30 books, which have been translated into several languages, including his very well known The Modern World-System, published in four volumes between 1974 and 2011.

For Moishe Postone

In 2011, I invited Postone to speak at the New School for Social Research in New York, as the keynote to a graduate student philosophy conference called "The Spirit of Capital: Hegel and Marx." Postone gave a sweeping lecture on the the role of Hegel's concept of Spirit in the works of Marx and Lukács. His critique of labor was disorienting for many, as was his view of capital as an "automatic subject", similar to Hegel's view of the self-mediating dynamic of Geist. After the conference, Postone mentioned that he was working on three books: one on Capital, one on the Holocaust, and one on Critical Theory. I hope they one day see the light. On the occasion of his death, I offer the following brief summary of some of his key ideas on Marx, capital and value.

Marx's Political Militancy at the Time of the International Working Men’s Association

The International Working Men’s Association - founded in London on September 28, 1864 - was an organization with several different political currents that were able to coexist with each other. Reformist trade unionists from England, French mutualists inspired by the theories of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, anticapitalists, and a variety of other groups, including those who were influenced by the ideas of 'utopian' socialists, participated for eight intense years to develop the first transnational political experience of the labour movement.
