The right-wing offensive and leftwards polarisation EACL: Madrid Declaration
Italy, PRC Fifth congress: Refounding Rifondazione At its fifth congress since its foundation in 1991, Italy’s Party of Communist Refoundation confirmed its specific, indeed unique, character in the history of the Italian workers’ movement.

“Comrade” Pablo, the Fourth International, and the Algerian War English Abstract
During the Algerian war, the Fourth International shaped the first network in order to help the National Liberation Front (FLN). The French section, headed by Pierre Frank, was the first one to support the FLN, considered to be the leader of the Algerian revolution, because (…)A Revolutionary Woman in Mind and Spirit: The Passions of Rosa Luxemburg IN THESE COMMENTS on the spirit and mind of this great revolutionary thinker and activist, I think it makes sense to begin with a focus on her gender. It isn’t clear that Rosa Luxemburg herself would be inclined to agree. She had, after all, refused to occupy a “safer”and marginalized position (…)
After Alienation – A review of Istvan Meszaros’ “Beyond Capital” Since the collapse of the Berlin wall and the Soviet Union, many on the left seem to have swallowed the idea that there is no alternative to capitalism. Debate has been limited to what can (or rather cannot) be achieved within its confines. Here is a powerful book with the opposite message: What (…)
The European Union Left: from Social Democracy to Social Liberalism? The New Socialist debate on Social Democracy is taking place in a global context that is markedly different from what it was just a few short years ago.

Firstly, crisis has hit the global economy quicker and more deeply than even some of (…)Class Struggle and the Revolutionary Party: A Reappraisal of Rosa Luxemburg’s Theory and Practice of Party Building “ In 1903, when the RSDLP was facing dissension on the question relating to membership in the Party, Luxemburg stood on the side of the Mensheviks. She criticized the Leninist-Stalinist teaching about the Party of a new type, resulting from an opportunist theory of spontaneity; she vigorously (…)
How left is Left in Europe? New Centre, Third Way Capitalism’s project of globalisation seems to be running into problems. The spectacular worsening of the world economic crisis and Gerhard Schröder’s victory in the German elections suggest that good news may be at hand: the end of our winter of neo-liberalism, to be replaced by a spring of (…)
Franz Kafka and Libertarian Socialism CLEARLY, THE WORK OF FRANZ KAFKA CANNOT BE REDUCED to a political doctrine of any kind. Kafka did not give speeches but fashioned individuals and situations. In his work, he expressed a Stimmung or sense of feelings and attitudes. The symbolic world of literature cannot be reduced to the (…)
Walter Benjamin and Marxism Walter Benjamin, born in a bourgeois Berlin Jewish family in 1892, was not only a brilliant literary critic and sociologist of culture, but also one of the most creative modem Marxist thinkers. A friend of Bertolt Brecht, Theodor Adomo, and Gershom Scholem (the well known historian of Jewish (…)
Rosa Luxemburg and German Social Democracy The real place of Rosa Luxemburg has still to be located precisely in the history of the revolutionary movement. The disintegration of the Stalinist monolith has meant that, while many have acknowledged her merits, they have hastened to add that “she belongs to the pre-1914 epoch”.
Those (…)Either Or I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Revelation, III 15:16
Comrades! You are all aware of the division that exists in the bosom of the intra-party (…)
