The Anti-Authoritarian Chَros
E. DIMITRIS KITIS The Anti-Authoritarian Chóros A Space for Youth Socialization and Radicalization in Greece (1974–2010) he Balkan historian Mark Mazower, highlighting that there is a conundrum posed by anarchist groups in Greece, observed: “We Thave, to my knowledge, no serious study of this subject, nor of the ways labels, such as ␣␣´ι (anarchists) and ␣␣´ (anti- authoritarians) have been deployed sometimes by people in their own name and others by their opponents.”1 The purpose of this article is to address this question and give a preliminary genealogy of the anarchist phenomenon in Greece since 1974. The history of Greece since World War II includes a civil war (1946–49), which unofficially started before the liberation of the country from the Axis powers, and a military dictatorship (1967–74). These watershed events occurred in the backdrop of a vicious rift between rightists and leftists that permeated the whole of Greek society for the rest of the Cold War. The article sets out to examine the origins (and the makings) of a particular type of disaffection that developed among youth during the period of the Metapolitefsi. The Metapolitefsi, which is the time frame for this article, was the historical period after the fall of the military dictatorship in Greece (1974) that was marked by liberalization or democratization and greater integration into Europe. It is important to note that the fall of the dictatorship was precipitated by the Polytechnic Journal for the Study of Radicalism, Vol. 9, No. 1, 2015, pp. 1–36.

He was perhaps one of the most renowned and at the same time one of the most controversial figures of the international Trotskyist movement; for all those claiming for themselves the label of "orthodox" Trotskyism, Pablo since 1953 was a whipping boy and the very synonym for centrism, revisionism, opportunism, and even for liquidationism. 'Michel Pablo' is one (and undoubtedly the best known) of more than about a dozen pseudonyms used by a man who was born Michael Raptis [Mikhalēs Raptēs / Μισέλ Πάμπλο]1 as son of Nikolaos Raptis [Raptēs], a Greek civil engineer, in Alexandria (Egypt) on August 24, 1911. He grew up and attended Greek schools in Egypt and from 1918 in Crete before, at the age of 17, he moved to Athens enrolling at the Polytechnic where he studied engineering. -
Critique Socialiste
ITS / CENTRE JACQUES SAUVAGEOT / MXT. 04/11/2018 1 Critique socialiste Cote : CRIT. SOC. Volume : 0,5 m. l. (5 boîtes) Dates extrêmes : mars-avril 1970-1986 Provenance : Marc Mangenot, Henri Mermé, Bernard Ravenel et autres donateurs. Localisation : État de la collection : complet (52 numéros pour 51 numéros physiques), en assez bon état (suppléments aux n°13 et 14, n°35 et n°48 abîmés). Description : Se présentant sous la forme d’un cahier d’environ 80 pages ou plus, cette publication bimestrielle était soutenue par le PSU et éditée par les éditions Syros, son objectif et son contenu sont proches de ceux de Perspectives socialistes (arrêtée en 1968). Débutée en 1970, Critique socialiste, sous-titrée Pour une théorie et une pratique révolutionnaires, était la revue théorique du PSU ainsi que l’énonce l’avant-propos du n°1 (mars-avril 1970) : « C’est dans ce contexte [l’après Mai 68] et dans un esprit de réflexion critique sur l’action qu’un groupe de militants, membres ou non du PSU, entreprend de créer cette revue. Critique socialiste n’entend pas défendre une orthodoxie ou se référer à des canons immuables. Elle sera ouverte au débat, à la confrontation, voire à la polémique avec tous ceux pour qui mai 68 marque une rupture, une ligne de partage. Il n’y aura pas de tabous pour elle dans sa volonté d’examen. Toutefois la recherche du dialogue ne sera pas faite au prix de l’éclectisme, au prix d’un effacement de combat idéologique contre la bourgeoisie. Critique socialiste doit être un instrument pour la progression du combat révolutionnaire. -
Neoliberalism and Depoliticisation in the Academy: Understanding the ‘New Student Rebellions’ Leon Sealey-Huggins and André Pusey
Graduate Journal of Social GJSS Science Neoliberalism and Depoliticisation in the Academy: Understanding the ‘New Student Rebellions’ Leon Sealey-Huggins and André Pusey Since 2009 there has been an upsurge in political activity in and around the UK, as well as in some European and American universities. These ‘new student rebellions’ have displayed levels of radicalism and po- litical activism seemingly unprecedented among recent generations of students. Broadly speaking, the intensification of this activity can be understood as being directly related to ongoing neoliberal reforms of education, a process intensified by the global financial crisis. In this article we seek to consider some of the detail of the emergence of these rebellions, and argue that they can be interpreted as part of resistance to the neoliberal tendencies in contemporary social life. As such, we argue that a depoliticised tendency accompanies the introduc- tion of, and resistance to, neoliberal mechanisms in Higher Education (HE). As activists in groups who have adopted more creative and ex- plicitly politically antagonistic forms of activism, we suggest that such forms might be more productive arenas for our energies if we want to challenge the neoliberal and depoliticised root causes of these con- flicts.

A Divided Generation: How Anti-Vietnam War Student Activists Overcame Internal and External Divisions to End the War in Vietnam Abstract Far too often, student protest movements and organizations of the 1960s and 1970s are treated as monolithic in their ideologies, goals, and membership. This paper dives into the many divides within groups like Students for a Democratic Society and Young Americans for Freedom during their heyday in the Vietnam War Era. Based on original primary source research on the “Radical Pamphlets Collection” in Musselman Library Special Collections, Gettysburg College, this study shows how these various student activist groups both overcame these differences and were torn apart by them. The ap per concludes with a discussion about what made the Vietnam War Era the prime time for student activism and what factors have prevented mass student protest since then. -

Cannon and Martin Abern, in 1928/29 founded the Trotskyist movement in the United States and for some 12 years func tioned as one of its main leaders and chief theoreticians. He was a close collaborator of Leon Trotsky and translated some of his major works. Nicknamed Trotsky's commissar for foreign affairs, he held key positions in the leading bodies of Trotsky's international movement before, in 1940, he split from the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), founded the Workers Party (WP) and in 1948 definitively dissociated from the Fourth International. Shachtman's name was closely webbed with the theory of bureaucratic collectivism and with what was described as Third Campism ('Neither Washington nor Moscow'). His thought had some lasting influence on a consider able number of contemporaneous intellectuals, writers, and socialist youth, both American and abroad. Once a key figure in the history and struggles of the American and international Trotskyist movement, Shachtman, from the late 1940s to his death in 1972, made a remarkable journey from the left margin of American society to the right, thus having been an inspirer of both Anti-Stalinist Marxists and of neo-conservative hard-liners. -

Student and Civil Protest in Belgrade and Serbia, 1996/1997 Mirjana Prosic-Dvornic Midland, MI
The Topsy Turvy Days Were There Again: Student and Civil Protest in Belgrade and Serbia, 1996/1997 Mirjana Prosic-Dvornic Midland, MI Abstract After a long silence, university students, and hundreds of thousands of citizens, were on the streets again, protesting against the regime in Serbia. The immediate motive for the outburst of long suppressed discontent was the regime’s insolent annulment of the victory of the opposition in November 1996 local elections. In terms of duration (from November 1996 until March 1997), spread (throughout urban Serbia) and number of participants (estimated to 350,000 to 550.000), this protest was unprecedented. However, like all previous demonstrations, it failed to initiate any real, irrevocable change. Instead, the regime succeeded to channel citizens’ discontent into "safety vents", into temporary "topsy turvy" days of "Another Serbia", thus enabling once again the continuity and stability of the regime’s particular vision of society. Introduction The 1992 Student Protest in Belgrade was one of the most dynamic, articulate and creative demonstrations of "civil disobedience" that took place in "Milosevic’s Serbia" (cf. Prosic-Dvornic 1993). Despite the significance of the protest, and a desperate attempt by its participants to send a clear message that "Milosevic’s Serbia" was not the only Serbia that existed, it still failed to make big news in the world. Foreign media and its audiences were rather indifferent towards a student avant garde in Serbian civil society, that espoused the fact that there was another, different Serbia, the modern, democratic, and tolerant one in need of recognition and support. In late 1996 and early 1997, when students, joined by citizens this time, poured into the streets of major Serbian towns once again, the situation was reversed.
