Sam Aaronovitch was for many years a full-time senior organiser for the party, at one point in charge of its cultural policy — Doris Lessing portrayed him, not altogether fairly, in The Golden Notebook — and the cause seems to have dominated most of his waking moments: going to meetings, writing articles and books, marching. You must be logged in to vote. His bitterness at this scapegoating pervades these last pages, giving them an awkward, unresolved tone. Its otherness was emphasised by the branch meetings in their sitting room, by his mother selling the Daily Worker outside Kentish Town Tube station, by the party jumble sales and talks. He also writes approvingly of how his parents and their comrades fought against racism, at a time when no one else in Britain especially racist trade unions seemed to care much about the rights of non-white British workers, let alone take any interest in the US civil rights movement or anti-apartheid protestors in South Africa.

  • Thatcherism and Women: After Seven Years
    THATCHERISM AND WOMEN: AFTER SEVEN YEARS Elizabeth Wilson In 1979 the Conservative Party won the British general election led by a woman-paradoxically, after ten years of leftwing feminist activism, it was the Tories that gave the British their first woman Prime Minister. And the most paradoxical aspect of all has been that Margaret Thatcher, the 'exceptional woman' par excellence, has done nothing to advance the cause of women, indeed during her period of office the quality of life for the majority of women in this country has deteriorated. This has been as a direct result of the tremendous class attack launched by the Conservative government against working people, both women and men. The initial reaction of the British left, and this included many feminists, was on the one hand disbelief that the British people could have voted such a reactionary government into power, and on the other the rapid construction of an explanation for this event in terms of an ideology of t hatcher ism'.' The development of this concept rested on a conviction that disillusionment with socialism and progress had willed the whole populace to the Right. Bob ~esso~~and others have recently mounted an extensive and measured critique of the 'Thatcherism' thesis, particularly as it has been developed in the work of Stuart Hall and in a series of articles published in Marxism Today. Jessop and his co-authors argue, for example, that Stuart Hall's notion of 'authoritarian populism', upon which 'Thatcherism' is based, is ambiguous and incoherent. They suggest that the Left has too readily accepted the Right's own assessment of itself and its decisive ideological break with the past.

  • West European Communist Parties: Kautskyism And/Or Derevolutionization?
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Industrial Militancy, Reform and the 1970S: a Review of Recent Contributions to CPGB Historiography
    FJHP Volume 23 (2006) Industrial Militancy, Reform and the 1970s: A Review of Recent Contributions to CPGB Historiography Evan Smith Flinders University The historiography of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) has grown rapidly since its demise in 1991 and has created much debate for a Party seen as only of marginal interest during its actual existence. Since 1991, there have been four single volume histories of the Party, alongside the completion of the ‘official’ history published by Lawrence & Wishart and several other specialist studies, adding to a number of works that existed before the Party’s collapse. In recent years, much of the debate on Communist Party historiography has centred on the Party and its relationship with the Soviet Union. This is an important area of research and debate as throughout the period from the Party’s inception in 1920 to the dissolution of the Communist International (Comintern) in 1943 (and even beyond), the shadow of the Soviet Union stood over the CPGB. However an area that has been overlooked in comparison with the Party in the inter-war era is the transitional period when the CPGB went from being an influential part of the trade union movement to a Party that had been wrought by internal divisions, declining membership and a lowering industrial support base as well as threatened, alongside the entire left, by the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979. This period of CPGB history, roughly from 1973 to 1979, was heavily influenced by the rise of Gramscism and Eurocommunism, in which a significant portion of the Party openly advocated reforms and a shift away from an emphasis of industrial militancy.

  • Douglas Oliver and Political Poetry Joe Luna
    1 Douglas Oliver and Political Poetry Joe Luna Ah! he is gone, and yet will not depart! – Is with me still, yet I from him exiled! For still there lives within my secret heart The magic image of the magic Child – S.T.C. Art is redemptive in the act by which the spirit in it throws itself away. – T.W.A. The work of the British poet and novelist Douglas Oliver (1937-2000) is not now widely read or discussed by many people beyond certain communities of poets, critics and students of the UK and North American experimental and avant-garde poetry scenes. Yet during his later life, at least, Oliver was the recipient of a wide range of plaudits and enjoyed some impressive public claims for his poetry. The reception of his work by the mainstream of the English press and literary organs was often as enthusiastic as its celebration in the pages of smaller, avant-garde journals. Writing in The Times, Peter Ackroyd named Oliver’s collected poems Kind (1987) “the finest poetry of the year.”1 Patrick Wright and Howard Brenton both heaped praise on Oliver’s The Infant and the Pearl (1985) and Penniless Politics (1991) in the London Review of Books and The Guardian respectively, with Brenton in 1992 claiming the latter poem had set “the literary agenda for the next two decades,” invoking both Eliot and Milton as comparable precursors.2 Bloodaxe Books reprinted Penniless Politics in 1994 with Brenton’s ecstatic recommendation as a foreword. Oliver was declared by Ian Sansom in 1997, again in The Guardian, to be “one of the very best political poets writing in English.”3 By the time of his death in 2000, Oliver had become one of the most publicly and internationally visible of all the poets whose writing careers began in earnest in the college rooms, grounds, domestic environs and pubs of Cambridge, UK in the 1960s.

  • Political Economy and the New Capitalism: Essays in Honour of Sam Aaronovitch/ Edited by Jan Toporowski
    Political Economy and the New Capitalism Political Economy and the New Capitalism examines key developments in capitalist economies at the end of the twentieth century and brings together essays by leading economists in honour of the late Sam Aaronovitch, the veteran left- wing economist. In his work, Sam Aaronovitch emphasized the need to take into account the most recent developments in capitalist economies. In this spirit the essays in this volume focus on key issues raised by contemporary trends, including: how the apparent triumph of capitalism reflects on Marxism, the role of the collapse of Communism in undermining the post-war Keynesian settlement, and the relevance of Keynesianism to contemporary capitalism. Political Economy and the New Capitalism also examines the relevance of Sam Aaronovitch’s pioneering empirical studies of British capitalism in the light of modern developments. A wide range of problems are reviewed from industrial concentration today to the co-ordination of economic policies in Europe. Aaronovitch’s work on the role of finance in the British economy is the subject of sustained reflection. Individual chapters examine orthodox and left-wing criticisms of finance, exchange rate instability, and employment, growth and regions in the context of European Union. This work concludes with a bibliography of the published writings of Sam Aaronovitch. This volume collects the reflections of some of the most distinguished thinkers in economics today including: Meghnad Desai, G.C.Harcourt, Pat Devine, Egon Matzner, Malcolm Sawyer, Sir Alan Budd, Jan Toporowski, Philip Arestis, Eleni Paliginis, Victoria Chick and Ben Fine. Political Economy and the New Capitalism provides a vital and critical survey of key issues in political economy at the end of the twentieth century and will be of interest to students and researchers in political economy, the British and European economies, international, financial and industrial economics.

  • The British Communist Party and the Limits of the State in Tackling Racism
    Bridging the Gap: The British Communist Party and the limits of the state in tackling racism Evan Smith (Flinders University) Since the 1960s, many involved in anti-racist campaigning in Britain had argued that any positive action that the institutions of the state (such as the police, the judiciary and the Home Office) could take to combat racism would be hindered by the racism that was pervasive within these institutions. Many on the left, in the anti-racist movement and within Britain’s black communities had criticised Lord Scarman for his statement in his 1981 Inquiry into the Brixton riots that ‘“Institutional racism” does not exist in Britain’1 and this denial of institutional racism, which was prevalent in the thinking of the Government at the time, left many radical activists within the anti-racist movement unwilling to be involved in any state-related anti-racist activities. However the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), as a large and influential body within the British labour movement, was an important radical organisation, which sought to work with the state in anti-racist campaigning. This stemmed from a strategy of working within a parliamentary democratic framework and establishing a broad left alliance, which would involve many trade union and Labour Party members, who may not be willing to take any radical actions. This article will examine how the CPGB appeared to counter the radical trend amongst anti-racist campaigners and how they attempted to work with the institutions of the state, primarily in campaigning for the enforcement of the Race Relations Act.

  • Party Animals: My Family and Other Communists by David Aaronovitch
    1/3 Review Party Animals: My Family and Other Communists by David Aaronovitch London: Jonathan Cape, 2016 [ISBN 9780224074711] Don Milligan his is a strange book, it’s a biography; it’s political, but not a political biography. Ostensibly, it’s about TDavid Aaronovitch’s parents and growing up in a communist household in the sixties. It briefly sketches the history of the Communist Party of Great Britain from its foundation to its low point following the General Strike of 1926, and on to the highpoint it enjoyed for a year or two after the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union. This was followed, by decline, stagnation, fracture, and finally, by dissolution. David Aaronovitch’s, father, Sam Aaronovitch was a leading member of the Party, who’d fought his way out of the grim poverty of London’s Jewish East End in the nineteen thirties for a life of penury as a Party full-timer. An autodidact, Sam Aaronovitch was an impressive character, he’d haunted the public libraries as a teenager, and he read and read throughout his life; writing, lecturing, and organising for the Party well into middle age. Eventually, when passed over for promotion to one of the Party’s top jobs, as London District Organiser, he decided to try for a formal education, and astonishingly, in 1967, at the age of 47 without a qualification to his name, he was accepted at Balliol to study for a PhD in economics. Although David is still plainly proud of his Dad’s achievements, he is reticent on the contribution that Sam and his Mum, Lavender, made towards his own ascent through university, the National Union of Students, to life as an award-winning journalist and litterateur.
