Lenin: Contradiction and Revolutionary

The life and activity of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin are both a directing force and an object of theoretical inquiry for the revolutionary proletariat. To comprehend Lenin is not merely a question of retelling the story of 1917 or the subsequent years of civil war, but of critically tackling the dialectical relationship between revolutionary theory and practice. Lenin's contributions to Marxism extend outside the area of…

حزب و طبقه کارگر

نخستين اثرات جنبش نوين کارگری درحال رويت می باشند. جنبش کهنه در احزاب سازماندهی شده است . اعتقاد به احزاب دليل اصلی عقيم بودن طبقه کارگر است؛ از اينرو ما از ايجاد حزب جديد خودداری می کنيم - نه به دليل اينکه تعداد ما قليل است, بلکه به علت اينکه حزب تشکيلاتی است که رهبری و کنترل طبقه کارگر را هدف دارد

The Correctness of the Revolutionary-War Option in the Brest Debate

Comrades — when it came to the question of Brest-Litovsk in early 1918, it wasn't a tactical disagreement about space or a short-term calculation about men and bullets. It was the irrevocable theoretical divide for the new Revolutionary Dictatorship of the Proletariat: whether the dictatorship was to be conceived and felt as the instrument of the international class struggle — whose rationality is to carry the…

دیالکتیک کار و فراغت در مارکس، لوکاچ و لوفور

به جز چند پاراگراف پرمغز، نه مارکس و نه انگلس اثر مکتوب جامعی در خصوص مفهوم فراغت ارائه نکرده اند. بااینحال، آثار آنها به¬هیچ روی بی ارتباط با این موضوع نیست. برعکس، مارکس که علاقه داشت جمله ای ترنس(Terence) را که «هیچ چیز انسانی برای من بیگانه نیست» نقل کند، سهمی قابل اعتنا در مطالعه ی روابط اجتماعی داشت که هنوز هم برای درک فراغت به¬مثابۀ مفهومی مشخص ــ که از نظر تاریخی و جامعه شناختی تعیین کننده است ــ از اهمیّت…
