Has anyone got a copy of the 1974 text of section I "States and How to Get Rid of Them", from Jean Barrot's "Eclipse and Re-emergement.."? It's missing from here : http://www.skatta.demon.co.uk/eclipse/eclips21.htm

The 1997 antagonism version has lots of edits and I'm guessing this chapter has been edited also. I'm composing a pamphlet of the complete 74 text updated with the additions from the 97 one..

Yes, I've got a copy of an edition published by Black & Red in Detroit in 1974. But it contains no section of that title.

Is there a section between "H - Formation of the Human Community" and "J - The Communist Revolution"? What is it called and could you get me a copy of the text somehow?

many thanks!

No, there isn't. In fact the text of section J "The Communist Revolution" starts the same way as the text of section I ("Communization") of the Antagonism edition. Maybe the explanation is that there never was a section I in the 1974 edition but that this was a misprint.

Just got the revised edition with the shiny reflective cover...............I love the way he emphasises the content rather than the form of communism a la Bordigha and Lenin.Something many of us seem to have forgotten when we get caught up in sectarian squabbles about who'se politics are right and whose are wrong.............
