It was the first solid anti-racist stand after years of unrelieved racist terror for black people in Boston. October 16 was a stunning blow against the cross-burners and lynchers that has been heard across the whole country. Under Reagan reaction, the KKK figures it has a license to spew out its race-hate poison everywhere. A Klan­ endorsed president in the White House, Democrats and Republicans united in an anti-Soviet war drive have made it open season on unions and minority rights at home.

La puesta en práctica de acciones armadas por parte de este grupo generó un proceso de discusión y debate que, recientemente, se trajo a colación a raíz de una serie de nuevos insumos documentales. Es objetivo de este artículo analizar este hecho a la luz de estas flamantes herramientas de discusión. Palabras Claves Lucha armada - Trotskismo - Movimiento campesino - Guevarismo Abstract At the beginning of the sixties, the Trotskyist Argentine organization Palabra Obrera (Working Word) decided to send three militants to Peru with the aim of construction and of political insertion in a context of important social convulsion, principally from the capture of land and the rural unionization in the region of the Cuzco. The implementation of armed actions by this group generated a process of discussion and debate that, recently, was brought to collation immediately after a series of new documentary inputs. It is the aim of this article to analyze this fact in the light of these brand new discussion tools.

As my advisor and the chair of my dissertation committee, Nelson Lichtenstein has ushered the project through every stage of its development, from conceptualization to defense. I pitched the idea of writing a seminar paper on Andre Gunder Frank in his office roughly four years ago, and since then he has enthusiastically supported my efforts, encouraged me to stay focused on the end goal, and provided detailed feedback on multiple drafts. That is not to say that I have always incorporated all his comments/criticisms, but when I have failed to do so it is mostly out of lack of time, resources, or self-discipline. I will continue to draw from a store of Nelson’s comments as a blueprint as I revise the manuscript for eventual publication as a monograph. Alice O’Connor, Mary Furner, and Salim Yaqub also read and commented on the manuscript, and more broadly influenced my intellectual trajectory. Salim helped me present my work at numerous conferences, which in turn helped me think through how the project fit in the frame of Cold War historiography.

  • Nahuel Moreno to Be Trotskyist Today Written: 1985 Spanish First Edition: Cuadernos De Correo Internacional (International Courier Booklets), 1988
    Nahuel Moreno To be Trotskyist today Written: 1985 Spanish First Edition: Cuadernos de Correo Internacional (International Courier Booklets), 1988. English First Edition: Ediciones El Socialista, 2013 English Translation: Daniel Iglesias, 2013 www.nahuelmoreno.org Let's start with understanding what it means to be truly Marxist. We cannot make a cult, as it has been done for Mao or Stalin. Being Trotskyist today does not mean agreeing with everything that Trotsky wrote or said, but to know how to critique or exceed him, same as with Marx, Engels or Lenin, because Marxism intends to be scientific and science teaches that there are no absolute truths. This is the first thing, to be Trotskyist is to be critical, including of Trotskyism itself. On the positive side, to be Trotskyist is to respond to three clear analysis and programmatic positions. The first is that while capitalism exists in the world or a country, there is no real solution for absolutely any problem — starting with education, art, and getting to the more general problems of hunger, increased poverty, etc. Coupled with this, although not exactly the same, the approach that a merciless struggle is needed against capitalism until their defeat, to impose a new economic and social order in the world that cannot be other than socialism. Second problem, in those places where the bourgeoisie has been expropriated (I speak of the USSR and of all countries that call themselves socialist), there is no solution if workers' democracy does not prevail. The great evil, the syphilis of world labour movement is bureaucracy, the totalitarian methods that exist in these countries and labour organizations, unions, parties who claim to be of the working class, and have been corrupted by the bureaucracy.
