    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.

Cannon Other names (by-names, pseud., etc.): John Battle ; C. ; James Patrick Cannon ; Jim Can­ non ; Cook ; Dawson ; Dzh. P. Kannon ; Legrand ; Martel ; Martin ; Jim McGee ; Walter Date and place of birth: February 11, 1890, Rosedale, Ka. (USA) Date and place of death: August 21, 1974, Los Angeles, Cal. (USA) Nationality: USA Occupations, careers, etc.: Journalist, political activist, party leader, writer and editor Time of activity in Trotskyist movement: 1928 - 1974 (lifelong Trotskyist) Biographical sketch James P. Cannon was an outstanding example for American labour radicalism, a life-long devoted and unwaver­ ing socialist and internationalist, a co-founder of both the communist (in 1919/20) and the Trotskyist (in 1928/ 29) movement in the United States, the founder and long-time leader of the American Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and its predecessors as well as one of the most influential figures in the Trotskyist Fourth International (FI) during the first two decades of its existence. However, his features in the annals of Trotskyism are far away from being homogeneous, and it is a very truism that a man like Cannon must almost inevitably have caused much controversy. Undoubtedly being America's foremost Trotskyist and vigorously having coined the SWP, he on the one hand has been continuously worshipped and often monopolized by various epigones whereas on the other hand Trotskyist and ex-Trotskyist dissidents have considered him an embodiment of petrified orthodoxy or workerism or ultra-Leninist factionalism.

  • An Open Letter to the Comrades of the Revolutionary Workers League
    An Open Letter to the Comrades of the Revolution- ary Workers League American Fraction of the Left Communist International 1937 Written as an appeal to the Trotskyist group the Revolutionary Workers League,who published the letter,along with a fairly standard Trotskyist response,inthe October 1937 issue of their publication ‘The Fourth International.’Some typos have been fixed but a scan of this issue that can be found at https://archive.org/details/LCIvsRWL shows that the remaining errors below were present in the original text. Dear comrades: It is almost nine years since we together broke definitely with the counter-revo- lutionary wing that once led the Communist Party.Our split was supposed to repre- sent a Marxian reaction to the opportunist line that brought the world proletariat from one defeat to another.Although we broke together from the Stalinist-Bukharin line ideologically and organizationally,westood apart from you for the reason that ideologically we were part of the left faction of the Italian Communist Party which fundamental documents are to be found in the Roma thesis.These documents were a contrast to all the political past of Cannon and Shachtman who at that time only bor- rowed from the Russian opposition. Under the leadership of Leon Trotsky the Inter- national Left Opposition from the beginning stood for the reform of the Communist International misjudging therefore,the fundamental reason that brought the oppor- tunist to the head of the C.I. That fundamental reason was represented by the many defeats of the proletariat, upon whichdefeats the counter-revolution found strength.
