    Libertarian Marxism Mao-Spontex Open Marxism Popular Assembly Sovereign Citizen Movement Spontaneism Sui Iuris

    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.

    Introduction When the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes – from 1929 Kingdom of Yugoslavia – Was Formed in 1918, One of I

    Introduction When the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes – from 1929 Kingdom of Yugoslavia – was formed in 1918, one of its most important tasks was to forge a common collective identity. Intellectual elites in the young state with great optimism agreed that education would play a crucial role in this process. It should come as no surprise, then, that a relatively rich tradition of scholarly research into the representation of collective identities in Yugoslav education has originated, precisely to account for the failure of the Yugoslav project in the long term. Recently, a growing body of scholarly research has established textbooks as one of the more rewarding sources for studying collective identity in education, focusing on ‘what knowledge is included and rejected in ... textbooks, and how the transmission of this selected knowledge often attempts to shape a particular form of national memory, national identity and national consciousness’.1 For the Yugoslav case this emerging research field so far has primarily examined textbooks which were used in the period directly preceding, during and following the disintegration of Yugoslavia.2 However, as the present article hopes to illustrate, textbook analysis can also provide the historian with interesting new elements for the study of collective identities in Yugoslavia’s more distant past. With its focus on national identity in Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian textbooks before the First World War, and later also in interwar Yugoslavia, the work of Charles Jelavich still occupies a somewhat

    POPULATION DEVELOPMENT of SLOVENIA from the BEGINNING of COUNTING to the PRESENT DAY Damir Josipovi~

    POPULATION DEVELOPMENT OF SLOVENIA FROM THE BEGINNING OF COUNTING TO THE PRESENT DAY Damir Josipovi~ According to its numbers, the Slovene population belongs ethnically and nationally among the small- er populations of European countries. However, it is distinguished by its historic endurance and continuity in Slovenia and in neighbouring areas since the 6th century. The existence of the Slovene people as an ethnic group that survived in spite of strong assimilation pressures and which managed to preserve the Slovene language as the main distinguishing component of ethnicity largely throughout its rural hinterland provided the foundation for the formation of modern Slovenia. Throughout its history from its initial colonization in the 6th century, Slovene ethnic territory shrank constantly. In the first few cen- turies after colonization, the settling area of our Slovene ancestors encompassed the majority of the territory of today's Austria, more than a third of Hungary and Croatia, and eastern border areas of today's Italy. Relative to the size of today's Slovenia, this ethnic territory shrank most in the north and east, and least in the west. As an independent country, Slovenia is the millennium-long dream of the Slovene people come true, but a considerable area populated by speakers of autochthonous Slovene dialects still remains outside the state borders. Thus today, Slovenia has autochthonous minorities in all four neighbouring countries. In the time since the first estimates of the population on the territory of today's Slovenia in the mid- dle of the 18th century and the first censuses a good century later, the Slovene population has not increased as other European populations then comparable with the Slovene population have.
  • Tow Ards the Study of Slovene

    Tow Ards the Study of Slovene

    Slovene Studies 9/1-2 (1987) 69-74 TOW ARDS THE STUDY OF SLOVENE William W. Derbyshire The paper which follows considers a number of topics relating to the formal study of the Slovene language and explores causes for past neglect, the question of need and audience, and several aspects concerning pedagogical materials. Although comments are framed and discussed within the context of the English speaking world. conclusions are nonetheless pertinent at a broader level. The end of the twentieth century is fast approaching, and the study of the Slovene language in the English speaking world remains practically virgin territory. This is all particularly sad in view of the fact that the Freising Fragments represent not only the oldest datable Slavic manuscript (ca 1000 A.D.) but the first written record of Slovene as well. I The reasons for the failure of a large number of scholars to tum their attention to the preparation and dissemination of pedagogical materials for Slovene are obvious enough. Slovenia is a small nation whose native speakers. both at home and abroad, number far less than three million. As such, the language has been relegated to the unfortunate status of a 'minority language' both among its sister Slavic languages and among the languages of the world. Scholars tend to devote their research efforts to the study of numerically stronger languages for which the reward. both in terms of audience and possibilities for financial support. are greater. Additionally. research of a pedagogical rather than theoret­ ical nature is held in considerably lower regard in the academic community, and is less likely to lead to professional promotion.

It begins by summarizing the history and literary works of the Gottschee Germans, and secondly it deals with the historical novel Rebellion in der Gottschee by Karl Rom. Te novel was published in 1938 in German. It focuses on the great peasant revolt in Slovenia (Carniola) that took place in 1515. Te revolt was organized by the inhabitants of the Gottschee area against the violent landlord and was soon supressed. Based on image studies (imagology), the paper analyses the portrayal of the Slovenes and Gottschee Germans and discusses how Slavs (Slovenes) and Germans (Gottschee Germans) are represented in the novel.

At the same time, a growing appreciation of regional issues has raised interest in regional differences in each of these countries.

  • Marxism and the National Question in Slovenia Before 1914 W

    Marxism and the National Question in Slovenia Before 1914 W

    SOCIAL SCIENCES 331 Marxism and the National Question in Slovenia before 1914 w. A. OWINGS, Oldahoma City UDiverslty The Slovenes, a South Slav people, before 1914 were contained within the Austrian part of the Austro-Hungartan empire. They were one of the smaller nations, numbering about 1,200,000. Their lands were of stra­ tegic significance, lying directly across the communications routes from both Vienna and Budapest to Trieste. The combined factors of numerical weakness, strategic location, and Hapsburg determination to maintain the integrity of the Empire made it almost inconceivable that the Slovenes might ever become independent. They were a highly nationalistic people, however, and by the mJddle of the nineteenth century sought relief from Austro-German domJnation. Their aspirations were couched in the form of demands for cultural and political a.utonomy within the Empire. Among the advocates of autonomy were the social democrats. Theo­ retically Marxists should have had no interest in nationalism; reality dic­ tated that they, like any other powerseekers, develop a national program. Their program represents a particularly clear-cut example of the influ­ ence of local political environment on the evolution of policy of a :Marxist party. The purpose of this paper is to examine (1) the character18tic approach of Slovenes to the national question; (2) the emphasis of 80Clal democrats on parliamentary reform; (3) the synthesis of those elements which comprised the Slovenlan SD national program; and (4) the fate of that program when introduced into the cockpit of politics. The approach of Slovenes to the national question wu conditioned by the fact that they were an "unhistorical" people; that 18, unlike the Czechs and Croats, they had no history as a separate political entity which might afford a legal precedent for claims to political autonomy.

For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website at www.contemporarysee.org Slovenia and the Census: From the 20. Century Yugoslav Counts to the Register-based Census of 2011 Damir Josipovič The article critically examines censuses in the Republic of Slovenia. Owing to its Yugoslav past, the censuses after 1945 have been closely scrutinized, and the common Yugoslav census methodology had a strong influence on the 1991 and 2002 censuses. The 1991 enumeration was carried out within the Yugoslav state; however the data processing and result publishing was done under the newly independent Slovenian state. The 2002 census was the last census to be carried out using classic door-to-door enumeration, since the 2011 census was completely register-based. The paper explores censuses in Slovenia since 1991, noting numerous changes and controversies. In 2002, in contrast to 1991, the applied definition of the resident population left out some 35,000 people working temporarily abroad. In addition, the 2002 census witnessed the highest ever number of ethnically non-affiliated respondents. An even bigger controversy was related to the erasure of some 30,000 people from the register of permanent residents for failing to apply for Slovenian citizenship after the break-up of Yugoslavia.

    Slovenes in the Habsburg Armed Forces Rok Stergar, Ljubljana Slovene Lands Started Coming in Habsburg Hands in the Late 13Th

    Slovenes in the Habsburg Armed Forces Rok Stergar, Ljubljana Slovene lands started coming in Habsburg hands in the late 13th century. The long process began after the battle of Dürnkrut (1278). In this last traditional battle of knights in the region, the army of the emperor Rudolf of Habsburg defeated the army of the Czech king Otakar Přemysl. Afterwards the Emperor invested his two sons, Albert and Rudolf II, with Austria, Styria, and Carniola, which were previously in the hands of Otakar. In the next couple of centuries Carinthia, Istria, Triest and finally in 1500 the County of Görz (Gorica, Gorizia) were one by one incorporated into Habsburg Hereditary Lands as well. This and other Habsburg domains evolved slowly in the Austrian Empire. Of course the process was not straightforward. For the Habsburg rule to become uncontested, it took a lot of skilful political manoeuvring, some luck and several wars. One of the great obstacles to an unimpeded Habsburg rule was the Counts of Cilli (Celje). The rise of this noble family from central Slovenia began in the second third of the 14th century. As they acquired large estates in central Styria, Carniola, Carinthia and Croatia, their prominence rose and soon they were one of the most powerful families in southeastern Europe. They were related by marriage with rulers of Bosnia as well as Polish and Hungarian kings. In 1396 count Hermann II of Cilli was in command of Styrian troops that took part in the Battle of Nicopolis. The Ottoman army won the battle decisively, but the count saved the life of the Hungarian king Sigismund of Luxemburg (from 1433 Holy Roman emperor).
