By Tony Clark
.

A Critique of the Economic and Philosophic Science Review (EPSR).

28-Dec-04
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.

Trotsky's Analysis of Soviet Bureaucratisation
.

By David W. Lovell.

Reviewed by T. Clark
.

Lovell emphasises that Trotsky's contribution to the debate on the nature of the Soviet Union after Lenin was fundamentally of a moral character.

Trotsky failed to see the obvious: if the nature of the bureaucracy was contradictory, attaching the label of 'counterrevolutionary' to it was inappropriate.

'The Third International After Lenin’

The International Marxist-Leninist Review interviews T. Clark in depth on Trotsky's seminal work.

25-May-02

"Trotsky’s ‘Third International After Lenin’ is a continuation of Trotsky’s struggle against Leninism."

"...Trotsky lost the ideological struggle because all his core arguments could not stand up to serious criticism. Trotsky lost because the party and the working class wanted to hold on to power and build socialism ‘in one country’, and Trotsky told them it could not be done, and when they turned to Lenin’s writings they found that the latter regarded it as possible."

"‘The Third International After Lenin’ by L. Trotsky is a strange, surreal work, setting out to prove that Lenin was against Leninism and that therefore he must have been a Trotskyist."

The theory of 'socialism in one country'.

The International Marxist-Leninist Review interviews T. Clark following his article on the origins of the theory of socialism in one country.
