Solidarity pamphlets

I've put online a scanned copy of this bulletin on struggles at different Ford plants in Europe and Australia in 1973 a few years ago: http://entdinglichung.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/solidarity-solidarity-motor-bulletin-1-ford-struggle-1973-1974/

http://www.af-north.org/solidarity/solidarity.htm

Below is a list of the Solidarity pamphlets I have, which are not included in the original list posted by Steven -- although some are included in the AF (North) list. I have not included Soldarity books or discussion documents

Aberdeen Solidarity pamphlet: 'Spartakism to National Bolshevism' [unnumbered]

Solidarity pamphlet 6: 'The Meaning of Socialism' - Paul Cardan

Solidarity pamphlet 7: 'The Workers Opposition' - Alexandra Kollontai

Solidarity pamphlet 11: 'Socialism or Barbarism'

Solidarity (London) pamphlet 54: 'History as Creation' - C. Castoriadis (Paul Cardan)

Some of pauls list above are surely already here under other tags? probably needs Steven to have time to sort out.

Steven,
Unfortunately, I have neither the equipment nor the skills to do scanning. I am willing to send you photocopies of those which you require which are not already online.

If this is satisfatory, please indicate which pamphlets you wish me to copy.

Since my last message, I've spoken to a friend with a printer/scanner who said he's willing to help me scan the required pamphlets.

Let me know which ones you require.

If No 38, and 40 get posted they should probably have links to some of the criticism's made of their content in my opinion - I may be able to help if paul can't. I have commented briefly elswhere on the 'Urban Devastation' pamphlet, (see George Williamson obit).

a short text introducing Solidarity to a German-speaking audience can be found in the July 1973 issue of the anarchist monthly Befreiung (Liberation): http://mao-projekt.de/BRD/VLB/Befreiung/Befreiung_1973_07.shtml

Steven,
Among the pamphlets you have requested, the ones listed below are translations of texts by Paul Cardan (Cornelius Castoriadis), all presumably translated by Maurice Brinton (Chris Pallis). All or most of these have been translated by other translators and have been published elsewhere. But Pallis's translations are particularly punchy and direct -- and they were the ones through which I first encountered and was profoundly influenced by these ideas as a youngish radical in the early 70s.

Unfortunately, Castoriadis went off in a different direction as the 60s progressed and this is reflected in nos 38, 44 & 54. -- but that's another story. IMO, the most important of the following for libertarian socialists/communists are 6, 11 & 40.

6: The meaning of socialism
11: socialism or barbarism
38: history and revolution
40: workers councils
44: redefining revolution
54: history as creation

Unfortunately I know nothing about the authors of the other pamphlets requested. As a Sydney resident, during the period in the 70s when I subscribed to Solidarity publications, I had no personal contact with the UK Solidarity groups or members.

As there looks to be quite a bit of work involved in scanning (or photocopying) the pamphlets you've requested, I'm not sure exactly when the job will be completed. We'll just have to see how it goes!
Cheers,
paul r

I notice you already have Solidarity pamphlet 40: "Workers Councils..." That's one less I need to scan or copy

We have a few copies of that paper. I think that's where we first learned of the case of Ralph Stein (I-FAUD). The young metalworker framed on some charges I now forget.

more online here: http://mao-projekt.de/BRD/VLB/Befreiung.shtml ... if you have other copies than the ones there, would be great if you can get in contact with the people who run that page to arrange scanning them, if possible

Ralf Stein who was the V.i.S.d.P. ("responsible according to the press law") and publisher of Befreiung was sentenced to one year in prison in 1975 for "incitement of popular hatred", "denigration of the state and its symbols" and "supporting of a criminal organisation" (RAF/Baader-Meinhoff) for an article/articles printed in the journal ... most likely, for stuff about the treatment of political prisoners in Germany

more texts from Solidarity in German translation can be found in the journal Schwarze Protokolle

I have all the pamphlets in the 'missing' list above and have a scanner, but it's not clear what has already been promised: let me have an updated missing list and an email and I'll do the business.

Thanks for that response Paul (Anderson). If you have the required pamphlets and scanning equipment and are willing to do the job, IMO, it would be better for you to go ahead.

There are probably too many problems at my end to make it a manageable project.

Do you have (and if not, do you want a scan of) the 1972 Solidarity Index ? It lists all the numbered (London series) pamphlets up to 42, together with other Solidarity publications, and it index's articles in Solidarity up to October 1972.

I have one or two pamphlets which don't seem to be listed above ('Belgium The General Strike' for example).

Steven.

The Solidarity pamphlets I have read have all been so good I really want to try to get all of them online at some point so none of them are lost.

Certainly a very good idea to archive those pamphlets. They used to have a few of them in Freedom Books — no doubt they've all long gone.

Steven.

hi, I wasn't aware of that index, so a scan of that would be great! Or a typed up/OCR version would be even better!

I've done a PDF - the OCR has turned out to be a bit of a pig because of the format - I'll post them both when I've done.

Steven.

Is the Belgian general strike pamphlet this? http://libcom.org/history/belgian-general-strike-diary-1960-maurice-brinton. if so what number is it?

Yes and no. That's just Maurice Brinton's contribution. There was also a short piece by Bob Pennington. This was an 'Agitator'/'New Generation' pamphlet (I think New Generation was the ILP's Young Socialist League paper). Unlike most early Solidarity pamphlets it had a photolitho cover with photographs - presumably the YSLs contribution.

Steven.

If you could scan any others you have it would be really appreciated.

While I'm sorting out the OCR on the index here's the list of pamphlets and books from it. It's worth stressing the index was drawn up by London Solidarity and isn't a complete list of the pamphlets produced by the other Solidarity groups although it includes a lot of them. At the end I've added a list of post-1972 numbered London pamphlets (which may not be complete) and one or two pamphlets from other local Solidarity groups. If you'd like to work on an updated list of what you haven't got I'll help out with some. (I don't have unlimited free time but I can slot the odd pamphlet in easily enough - well provided they're not like the index anyhow).

Housing, Rents and the Tenants Struggle in Scotland. Tom Woolley. Solidarity (Clydeside)

I have a copy of History as Creation, let me know if I should scan it, i have the necessary ocr software

edit: its at my student house in the north, which i'll be at come late september

Solidarity's 1972 Index in PDF format and OCR'd to html for basic table listings.

Files here.

I've put

10. 'The 100 versus the State'
11. 'Socialism or Barbarism'

in the library along with

14. 'Resistance Shall Grow' (but this is waiting for edits to be moderated).

(Is the preview function for library items broken? Doesn't seem to be working for me)

I'm not entirely clear what other people are doing. I'm going to have a go at:

6. The Meaning of Socialism

next (mainly because I'm interested in working out how it's different to the version published in International Socialism).

Then I'll work my way through these which as far as I can tell no-one else is tackling:

28. The Death of CND
34. Socially-responsible scientists or soldier-technicians?

The Squatters (Solidarity South London)
The Fight Against Unemployment (Solidarity Swansea)
Mail Order Millions (Solidarity North West)
Revolutionary Organisation (Solidarity Clydeside)

If any of these ARE already here and I've missed them please let me know.

lurdan

Yes and no. That's just Maurice Brinton's contribution. There was also a short piece by Bob Pennington. This was an 'Agitator'/'New Generation' pamphlet (I think New Generation was the ILP's Young Socialist League paper). Unlike most early Solidarity pamphlets it had a photolitho cover with photographs - presumably the YSLs contribution.

Pennington was quite an interesting and flamboyant figure, later a leading member of the Mandelite IMG during the early 1970ies (one of the few authentic working-class people there), he was sidelined in the IMG after being banged up for some time for taking part in a traditional act of dockers' moral economy (which the bourgeois state labelled "embezzlement"): picking up stuff which "fell from a lorry"

If the Cardan pamphlet 'History and revolution' is scanned into the library then it should be accompanied by the Discussion bulletin No 1 mentioned earlier which at least has the merit of pointing out Bob Potter's divergence with Solidarity's and Cardan's one-sided interpretation of Marx (even if it had some merit in relation to traditional marxist ideologies). As usual Brinton got the last say in the matter thus limiting the 'discussion' for the time being but various other dissident members from accross the UK were to take up the same themes later on.

I don't have a scanner but have a spare copy of the Discussion bulletin if anyone needs it later.

Spikymike

I don't have a scanner but have a spare copy of the Discussion bulletin if anyone needs it later.

I've got a copy of it - I agree it should accompany the text it's discussing. I'll add it to my pile unless someone else wants to have a go.

I see that the longer article by Zerzan from
47 Trade Unionism or Socialism
is already in the library. I'll do the second article and the Solidarity introduction.

Going through my boxes I found a copy of a discussion paper titled "Revolutionary Politics and the Present Situation" from 1972 which seems to be by what had been Aberdeen Solidarity either after or as they left. Can anyone confirm if that's right . (And since I've never been entirely clear about their subsequent history can anyone give a brief chronology?).

Added :

34. Socially-Responsible Scientists or Soldier-Technicians ?

Mail Order Millions Solidarity by Paul Bolton - Solidarity (North West) 1969

The 'Squatters'... Ilford - a report and critique - Solidarity (South London) 1969

to the library.

I've scanned and OCR'd 'The Meaning of Socialism' but I'm still working on it.

'The Squatters' lists no author but I found an advert for it in Solidarity (West London) which attributes it to Andy Anderson. Anyone know if this is correct or not ?

I've put the following into the library:

6. The Meaning Of Socialism by 'Paul Cardan' (1961)
47. Trade Unionism or Socialism. The revolt against work by John Zerzan (1976)
49. On Spontaneity and Organisation by Murray Bookchin (1975)

History and Revolution - Discussion Bulletin 1. Bob Potter and Maurice Brinton (1971)

Revolutionary Organisation by Maurice Brinton - Solidarity (Clydeside) pamphlet No. 2 (1969)
The fight against unemployment - Solidarity (Swansea) pamphlet No. 4 (1972)

For 'The Meaning of Socialism' I've added a number of the different Solidarity introductions and a short introductory note about what Solidarity did to the article.

'Trade Unionism or Socialism' is just the parts not already in the library.

As suggested I've left the tagging for someone else so that there is consistency.

I haven't put up PDF's for these duplicated pamphlets.

'14. Resistance Shall Grow' still has edits awaiting moderation - at the moment the footnotes aren't visible.

I should probably have indicated at the time that for '11. Socialism or Barbarism', which I put in the library last week, I added an introductory note about the text and a translation from 'Socialisme ou Barbarie' about the conference it was written for and the attempt at international coordination that came out of it.

I'll have a go at the (former) Aberdeen Solidarity text 'Revolutionary Politics and the Present Situation' but It will take a while as the duplication of the original was a little poor causing OCR issues.

Until it's clearer what is already being worked on that's my lot.

Cheers. OK. I'll put

43. Vietnam : Whose Victory? by Bob Potter
37. Strategy for Industrial Struggle by Mark Fore

on my to do list. Will be a while however. If anyone else wants to do them...

I have some others Not entirely sure I fancy the mountain of unscanned Cardan though :)

FYI
I have various issues of the non-London Solidarity journals.
South London 1, 2, 4, 8
West London 2
Swansea vol 1 no 3, vol 2 nos 1 and 2
North West vol 1 nos 1-3 and vol 2 no 1
Scotland 1
Aberdeen 3 and 4 (I think 3 is here already)
Philadelphia 2, 6, 9/10

My run of Solidarity for Workers Power itself is very incomplete. but I may have fills.
(In the run of Solidarity for Workers Power are you including the issues of the printed 'national group' paper from just before the merger with Social Revolution.(as distinct from Solidarity for Social Revolution) ? If not I have four of them)

I have the Oxford Solidarity pamphlet, "Urban Devastation" scanned as a PDF file of approx 15 MB.

How can I upload this file?

Does it have to be converted into another file format. If so, which one, and how?

I would appreciate advice on this.

Thanks,
paul r.

Have just posted pdf file of Solidarity (Oxford) pamphlet no. 2:

Urban Devastation: The Planning of Incarceration

Unfortunately, I forgot to record the fact that this is Solidarity (Oxford) pamphlet no. 2

Thanks to friend and comrade Phil R. for the scanning.

Cheers,
Paul

I've scanned 'The New Movement' - should be up later this week.
