    "Why it is worth preparing for breaches to open in these two systems and strive for socialism" https://internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article6854 Book review "Why it is worth preparing for breaches to open in these two systems and strive for socialism" - Reviews section - Publication date: Tuesday 13 October 2020 Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine - All rights reserved Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine Page 1/5 "Why it is worth preparing for breaches to open in these two systems and strive for socialism" Livio Maitan, Memoirs of a critical communist. Towards a History of the Fourth International, Preface by Daniel Bensaid, translated by Gregor Benton, edited and with an introduction by Penelope Duggan, Resistance Books, IIRE, Merlin Press, 2019, 455 pages. Livio Maitan was born in Venice in 1923 ; he was politically active from 1943 until his death in 2004. During this period, both the world capitalist system and the bureaucratic countries that escaped its grip, generated great discontents, social movements and crises. Unfortunately none of these upsurges was able to establish a society that was democratic and egalitarian in a lasting way. As a young socialist in postwar Italy, Livio could see the problem as it was crystallizing into the Cold War. [1] When he met the Fourth International in Paris in April 1947, he decided to dedicate his life to making the perspective of socialist democracy a real political alternative for militants searching a way out of the "Washington or Moscow" dilemma. He stood by this commitment all his life. What was needed, he thought, was not just more brilliant books like The Revolution Betrayed by Trotsky, but a network of militants organized on a global scale and sharing information, analysis and at times, a helping hand.

[A contribution to the history of the Fourth (...)' id='nh1'>1] First of all I would like to thank the organisers for inviting to this conference. I would also like to thank the IIRE for publishing, the translator Gregor Benton for the huge task of translation, Penny Duggan for having done so much work on the notes and references. The first time I met Livio Maitan was in the spring of 1969, in Turin, at a small meeting about the French May '68. I had been involved in the local university student movement in my home town, Turin, from early 1967, and having read The Revolution Betrayed and other Trotskyist publications in 1968, I began to look for a political reference point in the Fourth International. The last time I met Livio was in the first days of September 2004, at his home in the suburbs of Rome. He had called me urgently to give precise instructions on what I should do with his books and his papers after his death. After I left him I called his son Marco to ask about his health, and he in turn reassured me that while his father's health was not good, there was no immediate cause for concern.

Livio Maitan – together with Ernest Mandel and Pierre Frank the European top-leader and chief the- oretician of the Fourth International (International/United Secretariat) during the 1950s-1980s – was born in Venezia (Venice) on April 1, 1923 as a son of a teacher and a housewife. Maitan got married in 1954 and was divorced in 1983; he had two sons, Gianni (b. 1959) and Marco (b. 1963). In 1942, when studying classical literature (Greek and Latin) at the University of Padua, he became active in the anti-fascist resistance movement and in 1943 he joined the illegal PSIUP (Partito So- cialista Italiano di Unità Proletaria, Italian Socialist Party of Proletarian Unity). In 1944 he was sen- tenced by a fascist court, escaped to Switzerland and had to spent several months in internment camps there before he could return to Italy in May 1945.

In this book, Livio Maitan relates his experience of being a revolutionary communist during the second half of the 20th Century. [1] Written by a leading member of the Fourth International and lifelong Marxist, the book is both testimony and an analysis of a 50-year period of great turmoil in Italian and international politics. From his early commitment to communism in 1942 under fascism in Italy, Livio chose to be "against the current" by rejecting both Stalinism and social democracy. Instead, he charted a course of democratic and revolutionary Marxism, which brought him to be a protagonist in the Trotskyist movement, including participating in its international leadership. The tumultuous period described in this book covers events such as the break of Tito with Stalin, the Chinese revolution, the Soviet invasion of Hungary, the war of liberation in Algeria and Vietnam, and the Cuban revolution. The book also covers the period opened by May 1968, which saw massive mobilisations of students and workers in Europe and elsewhere, as well as the following years of neoliberal reaction and the fight to defend the gains of the workers movement.

For an account of this meetinfi see .. Mandel Weasels on Pop Front." Workers Vanguard No. 205. 12 May 1978. Ernest Mandel is a world-class left-wing academic, jet­ setting from continent to continent to give lectures and interviews, a prolific author of books and articles, a "star" whose views are eagerly sought by trendy publications and even the most stuffy bourgeois newspapers and journals of opinion. He is perhaps the best-known of the fraternity of economists who claim the Marxist tradition, and much closer to orthodox Leninism than a Sweezy or Bettelheim. He is, finally, the very image of an engage intellectual, darting from classrooms at Louvain or Berlin's "Free University" to meetings of the "United Secretariat of the Fourth International" of which he is the principal spokesman, to conferences with planning officials in Havana. To the mass media and imperialist governments ., Ernest Mandel is the embodiment of the "Trotskyite Spartacist menace," a bete noir to be stopped at borders by secret Ernest Mandel speaking in New York City on May 4. police or excluded by McCarthyite legislation. Leaving aside the periodic reactionary hysteria about a "terrorist Fourth International," Mandel enjoys a positive reputation across an amazingly broad spectrum, ranging from out-and-out liberals to unblushing Stalinists.
