I. Lenin in the second half (June-November) of 1905. The volume includes the historic Two Tactics of Social- Democracy in the Democratic Revolution in which Lenin gave a classical criticism of the Mensheviks’ tactics and a masterly exposition of the Bolsheviks’ tactics, and enriched Marxism with a new theory of revolution. Chapter II of the epilogue to the book is published in toto for the first time after the manuscript, part of which was found in 1940. The volume includes the following articles: “While the Proletariat Is Doing the Fighting the Bourgeoisie Is Steal- ing Towards Power”, “The Boycott of the Bulygin Duma, and Insurrection”, “In the Wake of the Monarchist Bour- geoisie, or in the Van of the Revolutionary Proletariat and Peasantry?”, “Playing at Parliamentarianism”, “From the Defensive to the Offensive”. In these articles Lenin defends the revolutionary tactics of the working class, gives advice on preparations for an insurrection, and exposes the false “democratism” of the liberal bourgeoisie and the concilia- tory tactics of the Mensheviks. In the articles “Social-Democracy’s Attitude Towards the Peasant Movement”, “Socialism and the Peasantry”, and “Petty-Bourgeois and Proletarian Socialism”, Lenin sets forth

  • Class Struggles in USSR, First Period:1917-1923
    $18.95 Class Struggles in the USSR: First Period 1917-1923 by Charles Bettelheim Translated by Brian Pearce Charles Bettelheim's new book is the first volume of what promises to be a work of enormous importance for the world revolution- ary socialist movement. Two further volumes, dealing respectively with the period 1924-1953 and the years since 1953, are to follow. The immediate point of departure for Class Struggles in the USSR was the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Those who consider them- selves Marxists, Bettelheim argues, cannot be content to "condemn" or "regret" political acts: it is also necessary to explain them. In the case of the invasion of Czechoslovakia, Bettelheim deemed it all the more necessary not to limit himself to regrets, since what is at stake is nothing less than what the Soviet Union has become today. Perhaps the central theme of this work, recurring again and again, is the nature and pervasiveness throughout most of Soviet his- tory of the "rigidified Marxism" with which, in Bettelheim's view, "it is necessary to break if historical and dialectical materialism are to regain their true revolutionary character." In this connection he lays particular emphasis on erroneous notions regarding the founda- tions of class relations, the role of productive forces, and the withering away of the state. It is Bettelheim's thesis that in the case of Russia the revolutionary forces were too weak and too lacking in understanding based on Class struggles in the USSR 1 Class struggles in the USSR by Charles Bettelheim Translated by Brian Pearce First period: 1917–1923 Monthly Review Press New York and London From Marx to Mao M L Digital Reprints 2016 www.marx2mao.com Copyright © 1976 by Monthly Review Press All rights reserved Originally published as Les luttes de classes en URSS, copyright © 1974 by Maspero/Seuil, Paris France.

Credits: This document was made possible with support from the MacArthur Foundation. Original Language: Chinese Contents: English Translation On Coalition Government April 24, 1945 I. The Fundamental Demands of the Chinese People Our congress is being held in the following circumstances. A new situation has emerged after nearly eight years of resolute, heroic and indomitable struggle waged by the Chinese people with countless sacrifices and amid untold hardships against the Japanese aggressors; in the world as a whole, decisive victory has been gained in the just and sacred war against the fascist aggressors and the moment is near when the Japanese aggressors will be defeated by the Chinese people in co-ordination with the allied countries. But China remains disunited and is still confronted with a grave crisis. In these circumstances, what ought we to do? Beyond all doubt, the urgent need is to unite representatives of all political parties and groups and of people without any party affiliation and establish a provisional democratic coalition government for the purpose of instituting democratic reforms, surmounting the present crisis, mobilizing and unifying all the anti- Japanese forces in the country to fight in effective co-ordination with the allied countries for the defeat of the Japanese aggressors, and thus enabling the Chinese people to liberate themselves from the latter's clutches.

As they saw it, China’s market reform and opening to the world had not brought greater equality and prosperity for all Chinese citizens. As part of China Information’s research dialogue on the intellectual public sphere in China, this article provides a historical survey of the development of the contemporary Chinese New Left, exploring the range of ideas that characterized this intellectual movement. It takes as its focus four of the most prominent New Left figures and their positions in the ongoing debate about China’s future: Wang Shaoguang, Cui Zhiyuan, Wang Hui, and Gan Yang. Keywords contemporary China, market reform, end of history, New Left, Chinese socialism, Maoism, democracy, statism Corresponding author: Shi Anshu, School of Humanities, Tsinghua University, Haidian District, Beijing, 100084, China.
