Eclipse and Re-Emergence of the Communist Movement
A book by Francois Martin and Jean Barrot (AKA Giles Dauve), quite influential since the 1970s in the English-speaking world of radical theory. A restatement of communist revolution as self-organised class struggle - that abolishes markets, states and classes.
Original edition published by Black and Red, Detroit 1974.
This revised edition published by Antagonism Press, London 1997.

nice work, Steven., although there seems to be an input format problem on the foreword so the bbcode hasn't worked. No edit button to fix it either. The other pages seem fine.

Just a minor point - this isn't the original 1974 Black and Red version as stated above but the 1997 version published by Antagonism. For this new edition Gilles Dauvé wrote a new introduction, dropped most of the short appendices that were in the Black and Red edition and re-wrote parts of those of the main articles and the surviving appendix which he had originally written (I think only the François Martin article is unchanged). Oh and he put his own name on it rather than the pen name 'Jean Barrot' - not an insignificant change, reflecting the fact that Gilles Dauvé doesn't agree with everything 'Jean Barrot' wrote or with the way he put things. Overall the changes are reasonably substantial.
FWIW the original version is online here.

Cheers guys.
Lurdan, you can correct the error if you can see an "edit" link above this article, then you can make the change yourself and an editor will approve it.
If you don't get a chance though then I will fix it when I can.

hmm - looks like I can edit the body of the text but not the 'cover' page so I'm afraid it's up to someone else.

Just a quick bump because I've gone through and tidied this up, added nice formatting, some pictures, done all the footnotes properly added interlinking and some additional footnotes with useful information. And this is one of our most popular texts.
Enjoy!
