The Society for Socialist Studies is an association of progressive academics, students, activists and members of the general public. Since its creation in 1966, the Society has been dedicated to providing a forum for those who promote a socialist perspective as a foundation on which to build solutions to political, economic, workplace, social, gender, ethnic, environmental and other forms of exploitation, oppression and injustice. It is unique in bringing together individuals from all walks of life and as a member of the Canadian Federation for Humanities and Social Sciences, is in a position to create links with other organizations, promote the concerns of members, and present an influential face to policy makers. As such, Socialist Studies: The Journal of the Society for Socialist Studies is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing articles on as broad an array of topics as possible from all fields of study. Typically, articles will adopt a critical perspective, which will shed light on, and offer remedies for, any form of social, economic or political injustice. Socialist Studies is published in the spring and fall.

Paris, France Keywords: capitalism • class •France • ideology • protests • states Mots-clés: capitalisme • classe • France • idéologie • manifestations • états ‘Je lutte des classes’ - ‘I class struggle’ – sticker worn by protestors in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, and other major French cities on Tuesday, October 12, 2010, during the 5th day of strike action. The protests aimed to challenge proposed legislation to raise the legal age of retirement in France from sixty to sixty two years of age. As in the English translation, the original French is grammatically awkward, an ambiguous if not ambivalent union between ‘I’ and ‘class struggle’. One of the major issues for socialist studies is working class dynamics in contemporary neoliberal times. In an interview with Dorothy Smith, in this volume of Socialist Studies/Études Socialistes, she recalls the strong working class movements in England in her youth and sees nothing comparable in the present. This is a problem for socialist studies, since class is unarguably a central concept in socialist theories. If there is no active and vigorous working class movement, what does this mean – for capitalism, for working class people, for transformations beyond capitalism? In this editorial, I would like to use what looks like a classic, contemporary working class protest in France, where I live, to lay out some of questions and challenges for socialist analyses and activism. As I write, on Tuesday, 18 October 2010, French workers are on the eve of the fifth day of action in six weeks against proposed legislation to raise the legal age of retirement from sixty to sixty two years. Truck drivers are blocking the main roads into Paris, but also the highways into major cities like Lille. Teachers are on strike, hospital workers have followed, and high school and university students are blocking access to their Socialist Studies: the Journal of the Society for Socialist Studies/ Études socialistes: Revue de la Société d'études socialistes www.socialiststudies.com ISSN 1918-2821 Socialist Studies / Études socialistes 6(2) Fall 2010: 1-8 institutions, with over three hundred high schools closed according to the National Education Ministry. In some instances, students are blocking streets and rail lines. Workers at oil refineries have barricaded the premises, keeping out colleagues ordered back to work by the state, so that over one thousand of the twelve thousand five hundred local gas stations in France are out of service. Despite the protests, which have mobilized millions, and the fact that President Nicholas Sarkozy promised during his presidential campaign in 2007 that he would not raise the legal retirement age, most observers agree that there is little chance that Sarkozy and the conservative majority will back down. The final vote is set for Thursday, 19 October or Friday, 20 October, although the Socialist Party is seeking to delay the vote with a variety of parliamentary tactics. (The legislation was passed on 10 November 2010, with some concessions, for example, for those who began working before eighteen years of age, mothers of three children and those whose work conditions are particularly difficult and dangerous.) With my husband and three small children, I marched with thousands of others in Lille, on one of the days of action. The protest is broadly similar to many others I have participated in, both in France and in 2 Canada. The streets are filled, as far as the eye can see, with marchers. There are union banners, balloons, loudspeakers, people with drums and ear-splitting vuvuzelas, inspired by last summer’s World Cup of Soccer in South Africa. Small firecrackers are lit, going off with a loud bang that frightens my children. There is a brass band, affiliated with the Communist Party, playing from the back of a small, flat-bed truck and later on the sidewalk. People hand out stickers announcing union affiliations or sell t- shirts. Around me, marchers wear colourful stickers that read ‘Je lutte des classe’ or ‘I class struggle’. Others carry cardboard placards that affirm their right to pensions at the current age of sixty

The current crisis is unnecessary and the product of the political line and methods of organisation of the Socialist Workers Party. [https://internationalviewpoint.org/IMG/jpg/respect23-2.jpg] Happier days - Respect founding conference The real meaning of the crisis, its roots and underlying dynamics are however being obscured by the SWP's propaganda offensive, an attempt to whip its own members into line and throw up a smokescreen to fool the left in Britain and internationally. How so? The crisis was started by a letter from Respect MP George Galloway to members of the National Council on August 23, a time it should be remembered that a general election seemed a short-term possibility. In his letter Galloway drew attention to organisational weaknesses of Respect, the decline of its membership and political life in general, but also to the (not unrelated) lack of accountability of the National Officers, including the Respect national Secretary John Rees. These criticisms reflected those that had been made for several years by supporters of Socialist Resistance.

  • The Revolutions of 1989 and Their Legacies
    1 The Revolutions of 1989 and Their Legacies Vladimir Tismaneanu The revolutions of 1989 were, no matter how one judges their nature, a true world-historical event, in the Hegelian sense: they established a historical cleavage (only to some extent conventional) between the world before and after 89. During that year, what appeared to be an immutable, ostensibly indestructible system collapsed with breath-taking alacrity. And this happened not because of external blows (although external pressure did matter), as in the case of Nazi Germany, but as a consequence of the development of insuperable inner tensions. The Leninist systems were terminally sick, and the disease affected first and foremost their capacity for self-regeneration. After decades of toying with the ideas of intrasystemic reforms (“institutional amphibiousness”, as it were, to use X. L. Ding’s concept, as developed by Archie Brown in his writings on Gorbachev and Gorbachevism), it had become clear that communism did not have the resources for readjustment and that the solution lay not within but outside, and even against, the existing order.1 The importance of these revolutions cannot therefore be overestimated: they represent the triumph of civic dignity and political morality over ideological monism, bureaucratic cynicism and police dictatorship.2 Rooted in an individualistic concept of freedom, programmatically skeptical of all ideological blueprints for social engineering, these revolutions were, at least in their first stage, liberal and non-utopian.3 The fact that 1 See Archie Brown, Seven Years that Changed the World: Perestroika in Perspective (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007), pp. 157-189. In this paper I elaborate upon and revisit the main ideas I put them forward in my introduction to Vladimir Tismaneanu, ed., The Revolutions of 1989 (London and New York: Routledge, 1999) as well as in my book Reinventing Politics: Eastern Europe from Stalin to Havel (New York: Free Press, 1992; revised and expanded paperback, with new afterword, Free Press, 1993).

  • The Project of the Labour New Left from Benn to Corbyn by Leo Panitch and Colin Leys Page 1 of 4
    LSE Review of Books: Book Review: Searching for Socialism: The Project of the Labour New Left from Benn to Corbyn by Leo Panitch and Colin Leys Page 1 of 4 Book Review: Searching for Socialism: The Project of the Labour New Left from Benn to Corbyn by Leo Panitch and Colin Leys In Searching for Socialism, Leo Panitch and Colin Leys bring out the continuities in the policies and aspirations of Tony Benn and Jeremy Corbyn in seeking to transform the British Labour Party into an instrument of socialist change. While urging for greater efforts towards instilling socialist values and objectives within the Labour Party, the authors conclude that without a compelling socialist ideology capable of overcoming the contradictions of 21st- century capitalism, we remain searching for socialism, writes David Lane. Searching for Socialism: The Project of the Labour New Left from Benn to Corbyn. Leo Panitch and Colin Leys. Verso. 2020. Leo Panitch and Colin Leys’s Searching for Socialism brings out the continuities in the policies and aspirations of Tony Benn and Jeremy Corbyn in seeking to transform the British Labour Party into an instrument of socialist change. Searching for Socialism is arranged chronologically. The first five chapters summarise the content of The End of Parliamentary Socialism, published by the authors in 2000, which covered the period of Benn’s challenge to the rise of New Labour under Tony Blair. The remaining chapters consider New Labour in power and its contest with Labour’s ‘new left’, culminating in the leadership of Corbyn, and end with the defeat of the Labour Party in the UK General Election of 2019.
