Secretary: Nina Khare, Special General Meetings of the South Place Ethical Society A Two Special General Meetings, which were held on 25 September and 3 November 1991. had been called by the General Committee under Rule 25 following the Resolution passed by a decisive majority at the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 1991. calling for a Special General Meeting to consider a change in the Rules of the Society which would allow Members to remain on the General Committee for more than three years in succession, though they would still have to be re-elected after each period of three years. After short discussions, a Resolution to this effect was passed at both Meettngs with the necessary two-thirds majority. As a result the whole of Rule 11 (5) now reads as follows: Six members of the Committee shall retire annually at the Annual General Meeting, being those members who were elected at the Annual General Meeting in the third year previous to the current year and those (if any) elected in accordance with Rule 11 (4). but all members so retiring shall be eligible for re-election. Officers of the Society who have not also been elected to membership of the Committee shallcease to be members of the Committee at the expiration of their period of office. This change will take effect from the Annual General Meeting in May 1992 B The other Special General Meeting, which was held on 25 September 1991, had been called under Rule 22 by more than twelve Members of the Society to consider the questions of responsibility for the acquisition and of payment for the purchase of an electronic typewriter during 1990. After a long discussion, a Motion and several Amendments were put to the vote, and in the end the f ollowing Motion as amended was passed by an overwhelming majority: This Special General Meeting: 1 Real firms confidence in the elected General Committee and elected Officials of the Society in administering.the affairs of the Society: 2 Requests the General Committee and Officials of the Society to begin to seek a speedy and satisfactory conclusion to this matter in accordance with both legaland ethical considerations: 3 Requires all Members of the Society to act within the Society in conformity with both the explicit and the implicit principles of the Society; and 4 Resolves that this should be the end of the matter.

The occasion was notable for an address by Archibald Roberston in which he made a critical compitlisOn .of Huxley's Bravc New World and, the then recently published, 1984 by George: Ohyell: Huxley. got .the best of it and I, as a then member of that ultimate middlercla's;-prOtestaht sect known as the British Communist Party, applauded that assessment. I _would noW, about (Oily years after my leaving that party, rate those two cautiqnaiy. tales as 'equal but different'. A ve'rY "great deal ha's been b'rewing these forty years and it has come to a head in somewhat less than forty months of the immediate past. Many well-meaning people took years to absorb the significance of' the Kruschev Report to the 1956 congress of the Soviet Communist Party. We have not, I think, got year upon leisurely year to absorb what has now happened as historic sequel to that report — the withering away of homo sovieticus. It is no part of our business to discuss general politics while wearing our secular humanist hats except in so far as 1) there are political threats to humanist values and 2) there are effective humanist contributions to be made to the easement of poiitical problems. I suggest that we have to draw those lines very firmly but also to recognise that we do not all draw them in precisely the same way, limiting precisely the same areas. The unsureness of our touch in these matters has been illustrated amply by the discussions of the Gulf War that have diverted us in recent months. The fact remains that the political world has changed enormously; 1988 is a long time ago and we have to make some political analysis as a preliminary to the discussion of our future humanist strategies. The model upon which I base my political assessment for humanist consideration is that of the mythical monster which, freshly beheaded, instantly sprouted three equally horrible heads. The monster of terminal 'communism' has been beheaded and has sprouted the three monstrous heads of capitalism unrestrained, nationalism unthinking and religion unreformed. Those are the monstrous things at large in the former Soviet Empire and they all threaten humanist values directly. The complacent propaganda, to the effect that democratic enlightenment has now the chance of a clear run in the former communist sphere, is to be taken with a large grain of salt. We are not at 'the end of history'. We must not be misled by the cosy norms of our own little world. Our capitalism has been tempered by a long process of ameliorative reform — underwritten by a once flourishing imperialism whose slackening momentum we often mistake for a divine right of ours to be wealthier than most of the wider world. Capitalism in the former Soviet empire is likely to be the ruthless purveying of anything that the locals can be persuaded to welcome as 'western'. The lawless pushers of hard drugs and the lawful pushers of nicotine will see the Second World as, perhaps, even more attractive than the Third. Nationalism, in our society, is mostly a matter of patronising the person who has the misfortune not to be native British, English or Scottish or whatever. Nationalism 'over there' is much more likely to take the form of burning down the next village. Religion here is mostly a domesticated pet thing that Monday-to-Saturday Humanists Ethical Record, November, /991 3 keep up for old times' sake. The Orthodox/Catholic divide is not like that at all; it is a killer and militant Islam, too, is on the loose again all over much of Asia and South-cast Europe. Humanists, however defined, embody only one trend within society and before attempting any assessment of our humanist perspectives it is necessary to locate our 'class' in contemporary history.

The image of a democratic elite guarding the vital center against irrational populists has appealed strongly to many defenders of the status quo, but as a reading of US political traditions it is strikingly twisted and inconsistent.

  • Anarchism and Religion

    Anarchism and Religion

    Anarchism and Religion Nicolas Walter 1991 For the present purpose, anarchism is defined as the political and social ideology which argues that human groups can and should exist without instituted authority, and especially as the historical anarchist movement of the past two hundred years; and religion is defined as the belief in the existence and significance of supernatural being(s), and especially as the prevailing Judaeo-Christian systemof the past two thousand years. My subject is the question: Is there a necessary connection between the two and, if so, what is it? The possible answers are as follows: there may be no connection, if beliefs about human society and the nature of the universe are quite independent; there may be a connection, if such beliefs are interdependent; and, if there is a connection, it may be either positive, if anarchism and religion reinforce each other, or negative, if anarchism and religion contradict each other. The general assumption is that there is a negative connection logical, because divine andhuman authority reflect each other; and psychological, because the rejection of human and divine authority, of political and religious orthodoxy, reflect each other. Thus the French Encyclopdie Anarchiste (1932) included an article on Atheism by Gustave Brocher: ‘An anarchist, who wants no all-powerful master on earth, no authoritarian government, must necessarily reject the idea of an omnipotent power to whom everything must be subjected; if he is consistent, he must declare himself an atheist.’ And the centenary issue of the British anarchist paper Freedom (October 1986) contained an article by Barbara Smoker (president of the National Secular Society) entitled ‘Anarchism implies Atheism’.

    This talk, given at ‘Past and Present of Radical Sexual Politics’, the Fifth Meeting of the Seminar ‘Socialism and Sexuality’, Amsterdam October 3-4, 2003, is part of my ongoing research into sexual and political utopianism. Some of the material on pp.1-4 has been re- used and more fully developed in my later article, Speaking Desire: anarchism and free love as utopian performance in fin de siècle Britain, 2009. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. ‘Together we will make a new world’: Sexual and Political Utopianism by Judy Greenway By reaching for the moon, it is said, we learn to reach. Utopianism, or ‘social dreaming’, is the education of desire for a better world, and therefore a necessary part of any movement for social change.1 In this paper I use examples from my research on anarchism, gender and sexuality in Britain from the 1880s onwards, to discuss changing concepts of free love and the relationship between sexual freedom and social transformation, especially for women. All varieties of anarchism have in common a rejection of the state, its laws and institutions, including marriage. The concept of ‘free love' is not static, however, but historically situated. In the late nineteenth century, hostile commentators linked sexual to political danger. Amidst widespread public discussion of marriage, anarchists had to take a position, and anarchist women placed the debate within a feminist framework. Many saw free love as central to a critique of capitalism and patriarchy, the basis of a wider struggle around such issues as sex education, contraception, and women's economic and social independence.

    Anti-Communism, Neoliberalisation, Fascism by Bozhin Stiliyanov

    Post-Socialist Blues Within Real Existing Capitalism: Anti-Communism, Neoliberalisation, Fascism by Bozhin Stiliyanov Traykov A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Alberta © Bozhin Stiliyanov Traykov, 2020 Abstract This project draws on Alex William’s (2020) contribution to Gramscian studies with the concept of complex hegemony as an emergent, dynamic and fragile process of acquiring power in socio- political economic systems. It examines anti-communism as an ideological element of neoliberal complex hegemony in Bulgaria. By employing a Gramcian politico-historical analysis I explore examples of material and discursive ideological practices of anti-communism. I show that in Bulgaria, anti-communism strives to operate as hegemonic, common-sensual ideology through legislative acts, production of historiography, cultural and educational texts, and newly invented traditions. The project examines the process of rehabilitation of fascist figures and rise of extreme nationalism, together with discrediting of the anti-fascist struggle and demonizing of the welfare state within the totalitarian framework of anti-communism. Historians Enzo Traverso (2016, 2019), Domenico Losurdo (2011) and Ishay Landa (2010, 2016) have traced the undemocratic roots of economic liberalism and its (now silenced) support of fascism against the “Bolshevik threat.” They have shown that, whether enunciated by fascist regimes or by (neo)liberal intellectuals, anti-communism is deeply undemocratic and shares deep mass-phobic disdain for political organizing of the majority. In this dissertation I argue that, in Bulgaria, anti- communism has not only opened the ideological space for extreme right and fascist politics, it has demoralized left political organizing by attacking any attempts for a politics of socio- economic justice as tyrannical.

    Translating Revolution in Twentieth-Century China and France Diana King Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Diana King All rights reserved ABSTRACT Translating Revolution in Twentieth-Century China and France Diana King In “Translating Revolution in Twentieth-Century China and France,” I examine how the two countries translated each other’s revolutions during critical moments of political and cultural crisis (the 1911 Revolution, the May Fourth Movement (1919), the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), and May 1968 in France), and subsequently (or simultaneously), how that knowledge was mobilized in practice and shaped the historical contexts in which it was produced. Drawing upon a broad range of discourses including political journals, travel narratives, films and novels in French, English and Chinese, I argue that translation served as a key site of knowledge production, shaping the formulation of various political and cultural projects from constructing a Chinese national identity to articulating women’s rights to thinking about radical emancipation in an era of decolonization. While there have been isolated studies on the influence of the French Revolution in early twentieth-century China, and the impact of the Chinese Cultural Revolution on the development of French Maoism and French theory in the sixties, there have been few studies that examine the circulation of revolutionary ideas and practices across multiple historical moments and cultural contexts. In addition, the tendency of much current scholarship to focus exclusively on the texts of prominent French or Chinese intellectuals overlooks the vital role played by translation, and by non-elite thinkers, writers, students and migrant workers in the cross-fertilization of revolutionary discourses and practices.

I mean a character not an actor in the role of that character but the actual individual who you believed was purely the invention of an author, It happened to me. The author Michael Moorcock used Nestor Ivanovich Makhno as a fictional supporting character in his fantasy ‘The Entropy Tango’. Makhno ispor- trayed as a romantic revolutionary active in 1940’s Canada and as an old man in 1970’s Scotland. A couple of years after reading ‘The Entropy Tango’, I was reading through ‘Red Empire’, abook about the history of the Soviet Union, and ‘BANG’, a photograph of Makhno smiling at the cam- era. There was no real mention of Makhno in the book other than the caption to the photograph, indeed there is usually little on Makhno in book’s written about the Russian Civil war otherthan a paragraph or two. For a writer researching a work on the Civil war they have to rely on sources that are usually either propaganda or based on propaganda from either Bolshevik or White Rus- sian sources, both Whites and Reds had reasons to slander Makhno and his Makhnovshchina. Voline writing in the Preface for Peter Arshinov’s ‘History of the Makhnovist Movement’, (both men having been involved in the movement) describes the Makhnovshchina as; “an event of extraordinary breadth, grandeur and importance, which unfolded with exceptional force and played a colossal and extremely complicated role in the destiny of the revolution, undergoing a titanic struggle against all types of reaction, more than once saving the revolution from disaster”.

  • Editorial: Postanarchism

    Editorial: Postanarchism

    Editorial: Postanarchism SAUL NEWMAN Postanarchism is emerging as an important new current in anarchist thought, and it is the source of growing interest and debate amongst anarchist activists and scholars alike, as well as in broader academic circles. Given the number of internet sites, discussion groups, and new books and journal publications appearing on postanarchism, it is time that the challenges it poses to classical anarchist thought and practice are taken more seriously. Postanarchism refers to a wide body of theory – encompassing political theory, philosophy, aesthetics, literature and film studies – which attempts to explore new directions in anarchist thought and politics. While it includes a number of different perspectives and trajectories, the central contention of postanarchism is that classical anarchist philosophy must take account of new theoretical directions and cultural phenomena, in particular, postmodernity and poststructuralism. While these theoretical categories have had a major impact on different areas of scholarship and thought, as well as politics, anarchism tends to have remained largely resistant to these developments and continues to work within an Enlightenment humanist epistemological framework1 which many see as being in need of updating. At the same time, anarchism – as a form of political theory and practice – is becoming increasingly important to radical struggles and global social movements today, to a large extent supplanting Marxism. Postanarchism seeks to revitalise anarchist theory in light of these new struggles and forms of resistance. However, rather than dismissing the tradition of classical anarchism, postanarchism, on the contrary, seeks to explore its potential and radicalise its possibilities. It remains entirely consistent, I would suggest, with the libertarian and egal- itarian horizon of anarchism; yet it seeks to broaden the terms of anti-authoritarian thought to include a critical analysis of language, discourse, culture and new modalities of power.
