Gramsci Between Marxism and Idealism (2019) Onorato Damen (1893-1979) was among the revolutionary Marxists inspired by the Russian Revolution to split from Social Democracy. He was a member of the Communist Party of Italy at its foundation in 1921 and remained true to its revolutionary principles, even as soviet Russia degenerated into state capitalism and the Communist International became a tool of Russian foreign policy in the run-up to the second imperialist world war. By the summer of 1921 Damen was the target of Fascist hit squads. He was obliged to leave Italy for France where he worked with the young Communist Party (PCF) and edited the Italian version of L'Humanité until his return to Italy in 1924. Elected parliamentary deputy for Florence, he thus enjoyed some immunity from arrest. At the same time Antonio Gramsci also returned to Italy. Since May 1922 Gramsci had been in Russia, where he was persuaded of the need to install a ‘mixed’ leadership on the PCd’I after Bordiga’s arrest in 1923. Damen was critical of this manoeuvre to establish a so- called Centrist leadership (notably Togliatti) on the Italian party and his worst fears were soon realised during the crisis provoked by the murder of the socialist deputy, Matteotti. Gramsci’s bungling united front tactic of an ‘Aventine secession’ of deputies from parliament undermined the development of a more effective political resistance amongst the working class on the ground. Damen and others on the Left of the Party (who were still the majority of the membership) formed the Committee of Intesa in an attempt to combat the capitulation of the party under Gramsci’s and Togliatti’s leadership to ‘Bolshevisation’, or subservience to the Russian party. In 1926 he was arrested, along with Gramsci, Bordiga and hundreds of PCd’I members. Throughout Mussolini’s dictatorship he survived between prison camps and house arrest. In 1929, whilst in prison, he was expelled from Togliatti’s Communist Party for ‘Leftism’. Ten years later, when Mussolini was reduced to a Nazi puppet and Italy became a battleground for both imperialisms, Damen quickly moved to re-establish a revolutionary political organisation – the Internationalist Communist Party (PCInt). It condemned both sides in the war as imperialist fronts and called for the working class to abandon nationalism and pursue its own interests. This made Damen the target of Togliatti’s hit men whose Russian-backed Italian Communist Party accused him of being in the pay of the Gestapo. He survived this period of turbulence and lived to see the transformation of the politically arid time of the Cold War and the post-war boom turn into a new search for a revolutionary solution as capitalism’s inevitable economic crisis came back to haunt it. As ever, he was ready to encourage political discussion amongst internationalists, from the International Correspondence Committee he promoted in 1958 to the series of international conferences of the Communist Left which eventually began shortly before his death in the late 1970s.

    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.

  • Amadeo Bordiga and the Myth of Antonio Gramsci
    AMADEO BORDIGA AND THE MYTH OF ANTONIO GRAMSCI John Chiaradia PREFACE A fruitful contribution to the renaissance of Marxism requires a purely historical treatment of the twenties as a period of the revolutionary working class movement which is now entirely closed. This is the only way to make its experiences and lessons properly relevant to the essentially new phase of the present. Gyorgy Lukács, 1967 Marxism has been the greatest fantasy of our century. Leszek Kolakowski When I began this commentary, both the USSR and the PCI (the Italian Communist Party) had disappeared. Basing myself on earlier archival work and supplementary readings, I set out to show that the change signified by the rise of Antonio Gramsci to leadership (1924-1926) had, contrary to nearly all extant commentary on that event, a profoundly negative impact on Italian Communism. As a result and in time, the very essence of the party was drained, and it was derailed from its original intent, namely, that of class revolution. As a consequence of these changes, the party would play an altogether different role from the one it had been intended for. By way of evidence, my intention was to establish two points and draw the connecting straight line. They were: one, developments in the Soviet party; two, the tandem echo in the Italian party led by Gramsci, with the connecting line being the ideology and practices associated at the time with Stalin, which I label Center communism. Hence, from the time of Gramsci’s return from the USSR in 1924, there had been a parental relationship between the two parties.

  • 25 Years of Marxist-Humanism in the U.S
    25 Years of Marxist-Humanism in the U.S. Raya Dunayevskaya Prologue: New stage of production, New stage of cognition, New kind of organization Ever since I began preparing for the celebration of May 5 as the birth-time of history - Marx's new continent of thought - I have been rethinking the birth of Marxist-Humanism in the U.S. There was no way to sum up 25 years of the birth and development of the News and Letters Committees as well as News & Letters as paper, without taking account of the philosophic breakthrough on the Absolute Idea as containing a movement from practice as well as from theory. That occurred in 1953. Once the split in the State- Capitalist Tendency, known as Johnson-Forest,1 was complete in 1955, our very first publication reproduced my May 12-20, 1953 Letters on the Absolute Idea along with the first English translation of Lenin's Philosophic Notebooks. In a word, while 1955 saw the birth of News and Letters, both as Committees and as our paper, 1953 saw at one and the same time, the emergence, in the Johnson-Forest Tendency, of open divergencies towards objective events (be it Stalin's death, the East German revolt, the Beria purge, or McCarthyism), as well as towards the subjective idea of what type of paper Correspondence was to be and what was its relationship to Marxism. * * * In reaching back to 1953, a new illumination disclosed that we were really talking, not about a, single year, but about the period 1949- 1954. After all, nothing short of the Second Industrial Revolution had emerged with the introduction of Automation in the mines.

  • Introduction
    Introduction To this very day, the Italian Communist Left (‘sinistra italiana’) is still unknown — and is even misrepresented — in the very countries where it emerged and to which it spread through the immigration of its militants. It emerged in Italy during the years preceding the first world war, around Amadeo Bordiga, who was its main inspiration, and from 1921 to 1925 it was to be found at the head of the Italian Communist Party (PCI). In this period Gramsci’s current played no more than a secondary role within the party, as its right wing. In fact, in spite of pressure from the Comintern, the latter had great difficulty getting rid of the left leadership, which was supported by the majority of the PCI. But in 1926, following the Lyon Congress, the old ‘Bordigist’ majority were gradually excluded from the party. Soon after, its most prominent militant, Bordiga, was imprisoned. Once freed again, he retired from all militant activity, and devoted himself to his profession as an engineer and architect. He didn’t break his silence until 1944. It was therefore without Bordiga and outside Italy — where ‘fascistic’ laws impeded any organised political activity — that the Italian Communist Left was to perpetuate itself. It became the Left Fraction of the PCI in April 1928, then the Fraction of the Communist Left in 1935, and from its founding at Pantin right up to its dissolution in 1945, it worked to reclaim the heritage of the party which had been under the leadership of Bordiga. Following its exile in 1926, the Italian Communist Left gradually lost what was specifically ‘Italian’ in its origins and development.
