Sethunath 220 Introduction Introduction From the October Revolution to the Nax- albari Movement: Understanding Political Subjectivity Saroj Giri1 The first decade since the October Revolution of 1917 was an extremely fertile period in Russia. So much happened in terms of con- testing approaches and divergent paths to socialism and communism that we are yet to fully appreciate the richness, intensity and complexity of the time. In particular, what is called the Soviet revolutionary avant garde (DzigaVertov, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Alexander Rodchenko, El Lissitzky, Boris Arvatov) was extremely active during the 1920s. -

Maoist’ Group
The Marxist Volume XXI, No. 4 October-December 2005 Anil Biswas ‘Maoism’: An Exercise in Anarchism In recent times, some areas of West Bengal have witnessed activities of the ‘Maoist’ group. The group has tried to draw attention to itself through committing several grisly murders and by triggering some explosions. They are engaged in setting up ‘bases’ in the remote and relatively inaccessible locales of West Bengal that border Bihar-Jharkhand. They seek a foothold in some other districts of the state as well. A section of the corporate media has also been encouraging them, by legitimising the Maoists’ killing of CPI (M) leaders and workers in districts like Bankura, Purulia, and Midnapore west. The CPI (M-L)-People’s War and the Maoist Communist Centre, two groups of the Naxalite persuasion, came together on 21 September 2004 to form a new party, the CPI (Maoist). As with the two erstwhile constituents, the Maoists are active in selected areas of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, and Jharkhand. Because of the secretive style of their working, their political outlook and activities are largely unknown to the mass of the people. The name of the CPI (Maoist) has been associated with violent acts and spreading terror. Going by their programme and ideological stand, the party is a violent anarchist outfit. Anarchy can cause harm to the democratic struggle and Left movement. The CPI (M) will counter this party politically and ideologically. The CPI (M) formed after a long ideological debate in 1964, and a new Party Programme was adopted. Sectarian and ultra-left adventurist trends arose in the ongoing struggle against revisionism and reformism. -

Mao Zedong's “Anarcho-Marxist” Vision Revisited*
Mao Zedong’s “Anarcho‐Marxist” Vision Revisited* By Caleb Yankus Seminar Paper Presented to the Department of History Western Oregon University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in History Spring 2009 Approved_______________________________________________ ______ Date___________________ Approved______________________________________________________Date___________________ HST 499: Prof. Max Geier & Prof. Narasingha Sil 2 I In 1949, after a brutal civil war, China was unified under a new party and a new political leader. Mao Zedong (1893‐1976) had navigated a treacherous political landscape to emerge as the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, CCP, and the figurehead of the entire Chinese nation. His rise to power was based on a political philosophy that was shaped by experiences from his youth and growing to adulthood in a time of upheaval and change in China. While several scholars have tried to explain Mao in terms of his Marxist orientation, the concept of “Maoism”1 shows that unlike some of his Communist contemporaries Mao’s ideals were a synthesis of traditional Chinese thought, shrewd pragmatism, and Marxist ideas. Mao’s unique approach to Marxist theory began with the traditional ideals he imbibed since his childhood. This upbringing let him see that a successful revolution in China must start with the peasants. Such a revolutionary strategy would isolate him from the Russian Communists. After joining with the Kuomintang, a powerful political party, Mao and his followers later separated from them over ideological differences. Mao had a unique approach to Marxism that was shaped during the first half of the twentieth century. Mao had a rather uneventful life as the son of a moderately well‐to‐do peasant in Hunan. -

Several years later, I confess that research in the Humanities is not as solitary an endeavor as it may seem. So many people have contributed in different ways to the completion of this dissertation. My dissertation committee at the University of New Mexico, especially my Chair, Dr. Elizabeth Hutchison, was enormously supportive during the proposal, research and writing of the dissertation. -
