What does a local group do?

Our local No War But the Class War meeting in Newcastle decided to talk about what a local group should do, and read an old article called "What does the communist left do?" to kick off conversation. The article was very specific to the CWO so I made a reduced or condensed short version (below). I think this is the kind of thing it is important to say at this point:

Communist values. Or a positive theory of socialism? - Per Henriksson

This text is an effort to address certain problems related to how to understand revolution as communisation, and the more fundamental, seemingly Marxological, question about value and abstract labour. Its aim is to discuss how, and with what categories and concepts, we are to understand the value form and therewith the laws of motion of the capitalist mode of production, as well as the abolishing of these laws by…

Introduction to two fragments on value

Below are two texts by Marx not before translated into Swedish. The first one, with the title “Value” is from the Grundrisse (1857–8), interestingly taken from the very end of these Manuscripts. It consists of a first and, as will be seen, unfinished sketch of how the editions to follow of Marx's great critique of political economy, with some minor revisions in the different editions (of 1859, 1867, and 1872) came…

A fact that we neither can nor want to do anything about.

One step forward, but just as far from the goal - Peter Åström

There is one big problem in Xavier Girrard's text and that is the very point of departure, for if it is impossible to balance two symmetrically opposed errors, as Dauvé himself notes, it will certainly be less possible to successfully overcome a problematic which doesn't even exist.

Communization and History: Thoughts about the debate - Xavier Girrard

The theory of our time must be self-consciously historicist. Like Troploin, it must recognize that the proof of its authoritativeness cannot emerge from the theory itself, but will come through the moment of practical intervention; and like Théorie Communiste, it must recognize the coherency of each historical moment as an aspect of a continuous process.
