    Lubitz' TrotskyanaNet Jean-Marie Vincent Bio-Bibliographical Sketch Contents: Basic biographical data Biographical sketch Selective bibliography Sidelines Basic biographical data Name: Jean-Marie Vincent Other names (by-names, pseud. etc.): Vincent Valette Date and place of birth: March 6, 1934, Nancy (France) Date and place of death: April 6, 2004, Paris (France) Nationality: French Occupations, careers, etc.: Professor of Political Science, Marxist theoretician, writer, editor Time of activity in Trotskyist movement: 1954 - 1981 1 Biographical sketch This short biographical sketch is chiefly based upon the obituaries and biographical notes mentioned in the paragraph Selected bibliography: Articles about Vincent below. Jean-Marie Vincent was born in Nancy on March 6, 1934 where he spent his childhood and youth. In the early 1950s he went to Paris and began to study political sciences at Sorbonne. For a short time he was a member of the JEC (Jeunesse Etudiante Chrétienne, Christian Students Youth) before in 1954 he joined the GBL (Groupe Bolchévik-Léniniste, Bolshevik-Leninist Group), a tiny Trotskyist splinter group chiefly consisting of intellectuals who had left (or were expelled from, respectively) the French section of the Fourth International which in 1952/53 suffered a serious factional crisis and split. The GBL was led by Michel Lequenne and from 1955-1956 issued a small paper titled Trotskisme 2. This tiny group of Trotskyist dissidents engaged itself in various regroupment processes on the left, thus for example its members joined the UGS (Union de la Gauche Socialiste, Union of the Socialist Left), and contributed to its paper Tribune marxiste (1957-1960) where Jean-Marie Vincent used his pseudonym Vincent Valette.

  • 1 the Search for a Libertarian Communism: Daniel Guérin and The
    The search for a libertarian communism: Daniel Guérin and the ‘synthesis’ of marxism and anarchism I have a horror of sects, of compartmentalisation, of people who are separated by virtually 1 nothing and who nevertheless face each other as if across an abyss. – Daniel Guérin Concerned that his reinterpretation of the French Revolution, La Lutte de classes sous la Première République (1946), had been misunderstood, Daniel Guérin wrote to his friend, the socialist Marceau Pivert in 1947 that the book was to be seen as ‘an introduction to a synthesis of anarchism and Marxism-Leninism I would like to write one day.’2 This paper aims to analyze exactly what Guérin meant by this ‘synthesis’, and how and why he came to be convinced of its necessity—for as Alex Callinicos has commented, ‘[g]enuinely innovative syntheses are rare and difficult to arrive at. Too often attempted syntheses amount merely to banality, incoherence, or eclecticism.’3 It must however be noted from the outset that Guérin had no pretensions to being a theorist: he saw himself first and foremost as an 1 Daniel Guérin, Front populaire, Révolution manquée.

It transformed into abstract dogma what Trotsky thought in concrete terms at one moment in his life and canonized this. It is inexplicable in purely political dimensions, but the history of the more eccentric religious sects provides revealing parallels.... But I doubt if it is possible to lay Trotsky’s ghost so easily.1 Capitalism tends to transform everything within its reach into a commodity. By a dialectical twist, it now turns out that – at least in France – Trotskyism, the sworn enemy of capitalism, sells books and magazines.

  • Inventaire Du Fonds Jean-René Chauvin
    Fonds Jean-René Chauvin Document PDF créé le 25/11/2014 Organisme responsable Centre d'Histoire sociale du XXe siècle 9, rue Malher 75004 Paris tél. : 01 44 78 33 87/01 44 78 [email protected] [email protected] Site web du CHS Cote : JRC Date : 1935-2005 Description physique :33 boîtes (Larg10 X H25 X Long34) soit 5 mètres linéaires environ. Formats divers, majoritairement A4 dactylographié (sauf coupures presse). Description : Le fonds Chauvin est fortement lié aux engagements politiques de son producteur, Jean-René Chauvin. Ses archives témoignent de la vie politique et intellectuelle de la gauche communiste non affiliée au PCF des années 1930 aux années 2000, soit 70 ans d’histoire. Avant 1939, le fonds d'archives alimenté par le jeune Chauvin, comprend une série complète du journal «le Bulletin Communiste», des articles et textes de Trotski, une correspondance (militante et personnelle) , des coupures de presse relatives à la gauche révolutionnaire (trotskiste et Pivertiste) et des documents relatifs à la constitution de la IVème Internationale. Les archives formées durant la guerre correspondent à l’activité clandestine de Chauvin jusqu’à son arrestation et sa déportation (journaux clandestins, tracts « internationalistes », etc.). Nous retrouvons ensuite le manuscrit de Chauvin correspondant à son livre « un trotskiste dans l’enfer nazi » (analyse de la déportation et de ses origines suite à son expérience concentrationnaire) et divers documents concernant d’autres témoignages des camps. Les documents des années d’après-guerre regroupent un grand nombre de publications du courant trotskiste (publications internes du Parti communiste Internationaliste notamment). Après l’éclatement du PCI (1947), Chauvin s’implique et archive les documents relatifs à la Yougoslavie de Tito (où il a séjourné une année).

  • Pierre Lambert, 1920-2008
    Pierre Lambert, 1920-2008 Extrait du Démocratie & Socialisme http://www.democratie-socialisme.fr Pierre Lambert, 1920-2008 - Histoire et théorie - Date de mise en ligne : samedi 2 février 2008 Démocratie & Socialisme Copyright © Démocratie & Socialisme Page 1/13 Pierre Lambert, 1920-2008 La mort de Pierre Lambert, à l'âge de 87 ans ce mercredi 16 janvier, suscite forcément deux types de commentaires. Les uns, hagiographiques, les autres, diabolisant. Il est incontestable que Pierre Lambert représente une page de l'histoire du mouvement ouvrier français. Son parti, le PT en voie d'être rebaptisé "parti ouvrier indépendant", et son courant qui contrôle en fait le dit "parti", le "courant communiste internationaliste du PT", le présente comme le "dirigeant de la IVe Internationale". Nous sommes là dans le registre de la mystique et de la mystification, un peu comme ces sectes chrétiennes qui se présentent comme dépositaires du mandat divin : le bon peuple ne sait même pas que ce parti révolutionnaire, indépendant, démocratique, dont la classe ouvrière et tous les opprimés ont réellement besoin, a été proclamé "construit" par les partisans de Pierre Lambert, de même que l' organisation internationale dont il serait la section française. Oyez, oyez, la bonne nouvelle ... personne ne l'entend puisque c'est un bobard, grossier et, au fond, irrespectueux envers la classe ouvrière. D'un autre côté les commentateurs journalistiques patentés expliquent que "le mystérieux Lambert" pratiquait l' "entrisme" et s'embarquent dans de fumeuses spéculations : jusqu'où Lambert avait-il placé ses pions ? Au delà de la rue de Solférino et du siège de FO, allaient-ils jusqu'à l'Elysée ? jusqu'au Vatican ? Carla Bruni a-t'elle été placée par les "lambertos" ? Car ils sont partout, les vrais, les faux, les ex et les pas tout à fait ! Ils ont des signes, ils se reconnaissent entre eux, faites trés attention ..

  • Daniel Guérin for a Libertarian Communism

The Rehabilitation of Anarchism Proudhon and Workers’ Self-Management Three Problems of the Revolution The French Revolution De-Jacobinized Two Indictments of Communism May: a Continuity, a Renewal Self-management in Revolutionary Spain, 1936-1937 Libertarian Communism, the Only Real Communism APPENDICES: The Libertarian Communist Platform of 1971 The 1989 Call for a Libertarian Alternative Bibliography 2 Foreword and Acknowledgements This volume contains a selection of texts by the French revolutionary activist and historian Daniel Guérin (1904-88) and are published here in English translation for the first time. They were written between the 1950s and 1980s, and appeared in France in a series of collections: Jeunesse du socialisme libertaire [Youth of Libertarian Socialism] (Paris: Rivière, 1959), Pour un Marxisme libertaire [For a Libertarian Marxism] (Paris: Laffont, 1969), and A la recherche d’un communisme libertaire [In Search of a Libertarian Communism] (Paris: Spartacus, 1984). A further version of the collection was published after his death: Pour le communisme libertaire [For Libertarian Communism] (Paris: Spartacus, 2003). All of these contain slightly different selections of texts around a common core of recurrent pieces. The same is true of this English edition: we have tried to choose those texts which would be of most interest to present-day readers, but which also give a good understanding of Guérin’s developing analysis of the failings of the left and of his belief that the only way forward was through some kind of synthesis of Marxism and anarchism.

  • Retour Sur L'histoire Du Trotskysme En France
    Retour sur l’histoire du trotskysme en France. La Thèse de Jean Hentzgen. Le 13 juin dernier, le chercheur Jean Hentzgen soutenait, à l’université Le Havre- Normandie, une thèse intitulée Du trotskysme à la social-démocratie : le courant lambertiste en France jusqu’en 1963, devant un jury composé de John Barzman, Michel Dreyfus, Ludivine Bantigny, Frank Géorgi et Frédéric Sawicki. Comme son titre ne le montre pas forcément – j’y reviendrai – il s’agit du fruit d’un important dépouillement d’archives diverses, notamment celles du CERMTRI (le Centre d’Etudes et de Recherches sur les Mouvements Trotskystes et Révolutionnaires Internationaux, créé par ce courant), mais pas seulement, qui couvrent l’essentiel des débats internes au Parti Communiste Internationaliste, section française de la IV° Internationale, constitué en 1944, exclu bureaucratiquement de celle-ci en 1952, renommé en 1958 Groupe La Vérité, du nom de son journal, et souvent appelé alors « groupe Lambert ». En 1965 il prendra le nom d’OCI (Organisation Communiste Internationaliste). Aujourd’hui les composantes dirigeantes et dominantes de deux partis classés à l’extrême-gauche dans les nomenclatures officielles, le POI (Parti Ouvrier Indépendant) et le POID (Parti Ouvrier Indépendant Démocratique), dont la coupure date de 2015, en proviennent directement, ainsi que plusieurs groupes exclus à tel ou tel moment de ce courant, réseaux et cercles. On peut dire que les militants issus de ce fameux «lambertisme » irriguent, sans doute pour le meilleur ou le pire, l’organisme même du mouvement ouvrier en France. Son héritage est un élément important du bagage et de la réflexion de notre propre association « Arguments Pour la Lutte Sociale » même si, n’ayant pas le culte du « fil de la continuité » auquel nous nous efforçons de préférer la continuité réelle, nous ne revendiquons aucune filiation exclusive.
