Filmed as received. University Microfilms, A Xerox Education Company Dissertation Abstract John E. Chiaradia Dr. Edward R. Tannenbaum THE SPECTRAL FIGURE OF AMADEO BORDIGA A Case Study in the Decline of Marxism in the West, 1912-26 This is a studv of the ideological and political activities of the founder of Italian Communism, Amadeo Bordiga, during the years between 1912-26, when he played a major role first within the Italian Socialist party and later in the leadership of the Italian Communist party. Following the victorv of the Socialist left wins: in 1912, Bordiga emerged as one of a number of ideologues seeking to make the party take more seriously its revolutionary goals. Well before 1914 he showed that he understood the conflict leading to war, and in 1915 he became the spokesman for the antiwar Socialist base, Bordiga came to the fore of Socialist politics again in 1919, when the journal with, which he was associated, 11 Soviet, urged the Socialists to abstain from the national election and turn their energies to building soviets, Bordiga then led the left wing in abandoning the Socialist party to form the Communist party in 1921, A majority of the Communist membership continued to adhere to left-Communist P. 2 views, until the ranks were purged and dismembered by a faction formed in 1924 in the leadership of the party by Antonio Gramsci upon his return from Moscow, The narrative is divided into seven chapters. The first reviews the contradictory appraisals of Bordiga found in various historiographies; emphasis is placed on the revival of interest in him appearing in Italian leftwing writings. Subsequent chapters look into the political background influencing the views of the young Bordiga, the policies pursued by the Communist party at the time of the Sinistra, that is, left, leadership, the conflicts between that leadership and the Third International, and the means used by Gramsci to break the resistance of the Sinistra base, thus neutralising the loyalty to Bordiga. In the course of presenting Italian Communism in a new light, two findings are claimed: 1) that the contributions of Gramsci to the origins of Italian Communism were minor, and 2) that Bordiga was the outstanding Italian Marxist P. 3 during the years under review. The political eclipse of Bordiga was a ma.ior event in the decline of Marxism in the 'West, and was accompanied by the abandonment of a revolutionary perspective by the new Communist leadership headed by Palmiro Togliatti.

A few had even participated in the tumult­ uous Red Week of June, 1914, These men never mentioned Amadeo Bordiga and rarely spoke of Antonio Gramsci; they directed most of their remarks to politics of Palmiro Togliatti, indicat­ ing a deep disagreement with the tactics being used by the latter to bring Italy to socialism. Their scepticism was puzzling and could be shrugged off as old thinking. Against a background of Soviet behavior marked by cruel and bizarre purges, the postwar political postures and speeches of Togliatti, with their careful analyses and reasoned pleas for immediate reform, were closely listened to in Italy and dutifully reported in The New York Times. Togliatti seemed the very embodiment of reason. It is not easy in the early 1970’s to fully convey the moral stature of Togliatti in 1945, and the power of his appeal to worker and intellectual, Communist and non-Communist. Now if Western man had been guided by the easy ration** ality of Second International Marxism, Togliatti would have 2 been a smashing success, and Western history a progression such as envisioned by mid-twentieth century American liberal­ ism, A widely read commentator on Italian Fascism, Angelo Tasca, once summarized this optimistic, old fashioned Marxism as follows: "The masses more and more conscientious, the bourgeoisie more and more enlightened; the former patient, the latter resigned to the inevitable: joint executors to a world 1 whose ends were desired and accepted," With these words Tasca characterized the Marxist Weltanschauung of Filippo Turati, leader of the reformist wing of the Italian Socialist party before the rise of Fascism. With time Togliatti sounded incongruously like an elder statesman of this earlier socialism. Now for Togliatti to mouth the platitudes of an adolescent socialism raised questions, since the communist movement of this century had developed as a reaction to the bankruptcy of these earlier beliefs. The problem deepened when Marxist considerations were introduced, for Marxism was an attempt to understand human history by centering attention on the paramount influence exercised by factors underlying class conflict, while justify­ ing the need to break institutional obstacles, an act usually attended by violence and indicative of a new consciousness. * (Angelo Tasca^ Angelo Rossi, The Rise of Italian Fascism (London: Methuen and Co., 1938), p. 72. 3 The Russian Revolution and Leninist thought had, initially at least, emphasized both the inevitability and desirability of revolutionary violence. For Togliatti to sound like a reformist was a paradox. The inconsistencies of Italian Communism grew with the passing of the postwar years; there was the heavy reliance on electoral politics, the reluctance to press for a realistic analysis of Soviet and East European reality even after the magic baton of Soviet primacy had been snapped by the revela­ tions of the 20th Party Congress, and its torpor and immobilism in the face of the crisis induced by increasing American inter­ vention against revolution in the Third World. The party's conduct posed dilemmas only if posited against the assumption that Italian Communism in 1945 represented a revolutionary force. One easy way out of the problem was to conclude that Italian Communism had simply adjusted to the "soft living" of the postwar republic. This study in the origins of the Italian Communist party soon revealed that my earlier views about the reasons for the party’s behavior were not just simplistic but alto­ gether wrong. Something more fundamental had been involved. As the findings began to indicate the outlines of a political drama, one recalled the scepticism of the old Communists, Possibly they had been bordighisti, followers of Amadeo Bordiga; more certainly they were former members of the old 4 "extreme left," the Sinistra. Since this is one of the key terminological referents in the ensuing narrative, the meaning must be made clear. Sinistra designates the political current that gathered in the left wing of the pre-1914 Italian Socialist party becoming, after the schism of Livorno in 1921, the leader- 2 ship and rank-and-file of the Italian Communist movement. A probe into the studies of Italian Communism brought to light a very obvious but little commented anomaly: in the already substantial bibliography on this subject no monograph dealt with the circumstances surrounding the rise and fall from leadership of Amadeo Bordiga, the founder of Italian Communism, This gap rendered the historigraphy incomplete, at best; at worst, the historiography might suffer from a serious defect in perspective, A concentration on the activities of Bordiga was called for. Then another finding came into view, Bordiga's activities in politics before 1926 had earned him a place in history; now his place in historiography was bringing him back as a factor in politics. This development is discussed in the first chapter. This Sinistra should not be confused with the middle- class political elites coming to ministerial leadership of Italy after the 1876 election. 5 In the subsequent narrative there are some questions about Bordiga which I did not discuss. One of these concerns his analysis of Fascism. A proper evaluation of his views would have required a setting of those opinions within the context of the nineteen twenties, when Fascism was a new phenomenon, and a review of the thoughts of the other Communist leaders: Gramsci, Togliatti, Gregory Zinoviev, Angelo Tasca, and so forth. For example, in March 1924, Gramsci wrote, "The Fascist Government can only maintain power in so far as it renders life impossible to other organizations which are not Fascist. Mussolini bases his power on the petty bourgeoisie, which (since they have no function in the productive life and hence do not feel the antagonisms and the contradictions resulting from it) in fact believe the class struggle to be the diabolical invention of socialists and communists. The entire so-called hierarchical conception of Fascism is dependent upon that 3 fact." One can accept what Gramsci seems to be saying, namely that the focus of Fascist power was in the lower middle classes of Italy, but for a Marxist to take that view is to raise immediate dilemmas.

    Autonomist Marxist Theory and Practice in the Current Crisis Brian Marks1 University of Arizona School of Geography and Development [email protected] Abstract Autonomist Marxism is a political tendency premised on the autonomy of the proletariat. Working class autonomy is manifested in the self-activity of the working class independent of formal organizations and representations, the multiplicity of forms that struggles take, and the role of class composition in shaping the overall balance of power in capitalist societies, not least in the relationship of class struggles to the character of capitalist crises. Class composition analysis is applied here to narrate the recent history of capitalism leading up to the current crisis, giving particular attention to China and the United States. A global wave of struggles in the mid-2000s was constituitive of the kinds of working class responses to the crisis that unfolded in 2008-10. The circulation of those struggles and resultant trends of recomposition and/or decomposition are argued to be important factors in the balance of political forces across the varied geography of the present crisis. The whirlwind of crises and the autonomist perspective The whirlwind of crises (Marks, 2010) that swept the world in 2008, financial panic upon food crisis upon energy shock upon inflationary spiral, receded temporarily only to surge forward again, leaving us in a turbulent world, full of possibility and peril.

  • CGIL E FSM, Un Lungo Addio
    CGIL e FSM, un lungo addio CGIL e FSM, un lungo addio ", di Emilio Gabaglio, già segretario della CES. Negli anni settanta il distacco della CGIL dalla Federazione Sindacale Mondiale (FSM) di cui essa fa parte fin dalla creazione di quest'ultima nel 1945, mette fine alla contraddizione , rivelatasi sempre più stridente nel corso del tempo, tra l'identità, il ruolo e il modo di essere della maggiore confederazione sindacale italiana e la sua appartenenza sul piano internazionale ad un'organizzazione che, dopo una breve stagione iniziale, rappresenta tutt'altra realtà, quella dei sindacati del mondo comunista, e che nella sua attività riflette gli interessi di politica estera del blocco sovietico. A cogliere l'esigenza del superamento di questo legame le cui ragioni sono ideologiche e politiche molto più che sindacali è per prima la corrente socialista della CGIL, a metà degli anni sessanta, quando essa caratterizza, più nettamente che in passato, le sue posizioni nella dialettica interna con la maggioranza comunista, sullo sfondo dell'evoluzione in senso riformista e “autonomista” del PSI. Per i socialisti la disaffiliazione dalla FSM significa non solo eliminare un ostacolo sul cammino di una rinnovata unità sindacale in Italia, obiettivo per il quale essi sono fortemente impegnati, ma anche creare le condizioni per far uscire la CGIL dall'isolamento rispetto al movimento sindacale dell' Europa occidentale. L'adesione alla FSM preclude infatti alla CGIL lo stabilimento di rapporti in vista di azioni comuni a livello europeo con gli altri sindacati dei paesi della Comunità Europea che, salvo la CGT francese, appartengono tutti alla Confederazione Internazionale dei Sindacati Liberi (ICFTU) o alla Confederazione Internazionale dei Sindacati Cristiani (CISC), oltretutto penalizzandola nei confronti di CISL e UIL.

  • Amadeo Bordiga and the Myth of Antonio Gramsci
    AMADEO BORDIGA AND THE MYTH OF ANTONIO GRAMSCI John Chiaradia PREFACE A fruitful contribution to the renaissance of Marxism requires a purely historical treatment of the twenties as a period of the revolutionary working class movement which is now entirely closed. This is the only way to make its experiences and lessons properly relevant to the essentially new phase of the present. Gyorgy Lukács, 1967 Marxism has been the greatest fantasy of our century. Leszek Kolakowski When I began this commentary, both the USSR and the PCI (the Italian Communist Party) had disappeared. Basing myself on earlier archival work and supplementary readings, I set out to show that the change signified by the rise of Antonio Gramsci to leadership (1924-1926) had, contrary to nearly all extant commentary on that event, a profoundly negative impact on Italian Communism. As a result and in time, the very essence of the party was drained, and it was derailed from its original intent, namely, that of class revolution. As a consequence of these changes, the party would play an altogether different role from the one it had been intended for. By way of evidence, my intention was to establish two points and draw the connecting straight line. They were: one, developments in the Soviet party; two, the tandem echo in the Italian party led by Gramsci, with the connecting line being the ideology and practices associated at the time with Stalin, which I label Center communism. Hence, from the time of Gramsci’s return from the USSR in 1924, there had been a parental relationship between the two parties.

  • Luigi Longo, Un Segretario Comunista Troppo Dimenticato
    Luigi Longo, un segretario comunista troppo dimenticato Cade in queste settimane il quarantesimo anniversario della morte di Luigi Longo (1900-1980). Dopo essere stato in carcere in Italia e Francia, fu partecipe della guerra civile spagnola nelle Brigate internazionali (1936-1939), poi comandante partigiano delle brigate comuniste con il nome di battaglia “Gallo”, poi ancora segretario del Pci nel periodo 1964-1972 dopo la morte di Palmiro Togliatti e prima dell’elezione di Enrico Berlinguer. In Dialogo sull’antifascismo, il Pci e l’Italia repubblicana (Editori Riuniti university press, 2013) tra Aldo Natoli e Vittorio Foa, il primo riconosce il ruolo che ebbe Longo nel corso dell’invasione della Cecoslovacchia da parte delle truppe del Patto di Varsavia: La posizione di critica netta che Longo fece giustamente, una delle sue iniziative migliori in fondo, e quindi come tale passò nella politica ufficiale del partito, non era per niente condivisa dalla base. Natoli spiega a Foa che Longo ebbe un ruolo decisivo nel prendere le distanze da Mosca nella crisi di Praga del 1968 e nel pubblicare il Memoriale di Yalta, l’ultimo scritto di Palmiro Togliatti alla vigilia della sua morte nell’agosto 1964, dove erano contenuti critici giudizi su Mosca e Pechino, auspicando la ricostruzione dell’unità del movimento comunista internazionale su altre basi. Si deve citare a favore della segreteria di Longo anche l’incontro con gli studenti del ’68 nel maggio di quell’anno nella sede del partito a Botteghe oscure: un gesto positivo di dialogo con il movimento nascente. Fu una scelta su cui insistette proprio Longo, che in un’intervista a Rinascita ne spiegò le motivazioni contro le titubanze di altri dirigenti del partito.

  • Germany's Left Party Is Shut out of Government, but Remains a Powerful
    Germany’s Left Party is shut out of government, but remains a powerful player in German politics blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2013/09/19/germanys-left-party-is-shut-out-of-government-but-remains-a-powerful- player-in-german-politics/ 19/09/2013 The Left Party (Die Linke) received 11.9 per cent of the vote in the 2009 German federal elections, and is predicted to comfortably clear the country’s 5 per cent threshold in this Sunday’s vote. Jonathan Olsen outlines the party’s recent history and its role in the German party system. He notes that although the Left Party appears willing to enter into coalition with the other major parties, it is not viewed as a viable coalition partner. Despite being shut out of government, the party nevertheless remains an important part of German politics. Although the government that emerges after Germany’s federal elections on 22 September will largely depend on the performance of the two biggest parties, the conservative block of CDU/CSU and the Left-Center Social Democrats (SPD), the impact of smaller parties on the ultimate outcome should not be underestimated. Thus the failure of the Free Democrats (FDP) to clear the 5 per cent hurdle necessary for legislative representation would most likely lead to a “Grand Coalition” of CDU/CSU and SPD, while an outstanding performance by the German Greens could make possible (though unlikely) an SPD-Greens coalition government. The third of Germany’s smaller parties – the Left Party – will not have the same impact on coalition calculations as the FDP and Greens, since all of the other four parties have categorically ruled out a coalition with it.

This dissertation explores the musical relationship between these two troubled countries and aims to explain the similarities and differences in their approaches to collective singing. The discussion of the very complex and problematic relationship between the German left and the Soviet government sets the framework for the analysis of music. Beginning in late 1920s, as a result of Stalin’s abandonment of the international revolutionary cause, the divergences between the policies of the Soviet government and utopian aims of the German communist party can be traced in the musical propaganda of both countries.

  • The Kpd and the Nsdap: a Sttjdy of the Relationship Between Political Extremes in Weimar Germany, 1923-1933 by Davis William
    THE KPD AND THE NSDAP: A STTJDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLITICAL EXTREMES IN WEIMAR GERMANY, 1923-1933 BY DAVIS WILLIAM DAYCOCK A thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.D. The London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London 1980 1 ABSTRACT The German Communist Party's response to the rise of the Nazis was conditioned by its complicated political environment which included the influence of Soviet foreign policy requirements, the party's Marxist-Leninist outlook, its organizational structure and the democratic society of Weimar. Relying on the Communist press and theoretical journals, documentary collections drawn from several German archives, as well as interview material, and Nazi, Communist opposition and Social Democratic sources, this study traces the development of the KPD's tactical orientation towards the Nazis for the period 1923-1933. In so doing it complements the existing literature both by its extension of the chronological scope of enquiry and by its attention to the tactical requirements of the relationship as viewed from the perspective of the KPD. It concludes that for the whole of the period, KPD tactics were ambiguous and reflected the tensions between the various competing factors which shaped the party's policies. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE abbreviations 4 INTRODUCTION 7 CHAPTER I THE CONSTRAINTS ON CONFLICT 24 CHAPTER II 1923: THE FORMATIVE YEAR 67 CHAPTER III VARIATIONS ON THE SCHLAGETER THEME: THE CONTINUITIES IN COMMUNIST POLICY 1924-1928 124 CHAPTER IV COMMUNIST TACTICS AND THE NAZI ADVANCE, 1928-1932: THE RESPONSE TO NEW THREATS 166 CHAPTER V COMMUNIST TACTICS, 1928-1932: THE RESPONSE TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES 223 CHAPTER VI FLUCTUATIONS IN COMMUNIST TACTICS DURING 1932: DOUBTS IN THE ELEVENTH HOUR 273 CONCLUSIONS 307 APPENDIX I VOTING ALIGNMENTS IN THE REICHSTAG 1924-1932 333 APPENDIX II INTERVIEWS 335 BIBLIOGRAPHY 341 4 ABBREVIATIONS 1.
