STALIN’S ‘ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF SOCIALISM’ AND REVISIONISM.


By John B. Green
.

The EPSR claims, falsely, that Stalin told the world proletariat in 1952 (in ‘Economic Problems of Socialism’) that the Soviet States would overtake capitalism because capitalism was incapable of further expansion and that all that was required was for the international working class to live in peaceful co-existence with capitalism to achieve the victory. This pamphlet addresses these arguments.

Book Review:

The Silent Takeover.
Global Capitalism and the
Death of Democracy
.
By Noreena Hertz.

Reviewed by T. Clark
.

This book is about how the big corporations are invading all aspects of capitalist social and political life in face of the retreat of the State.

But it is hard to determine what Hertz, who prefaces her criticisms with praise, actually understands by 'capitalism'. For example:

26-Jan-04

Hertz does not notice that the international conglomerates are all based on highly socialised production and are directed by a plan; that society has therefore outgrown capitalist ownership of the means of production; that global capitalism represents immense wealth based on socialised production side by side with abject poverty, even in the richest capitalist country, USA.

Social Democratic Delusions.

By H. Powell.

RESPECT talks about "a crisis of representation, a democratic deficit, at the heart of politics in Britain".

What this sort of reformist politics ignores is the fact that our whole society is fundamentally undemocratic - and that capitalist reform is not today an option.

Marxism and Class: Some Definitions.

By W. B. Bland.

The Marxist Definition of Class.

Lenin characterises the labour aristocracy as "an insignificant minority of the working class."

This contribution defines the Marxist concept of the 'petty bourgeoisie' and relates it to Britain in the 21st century.
