  • De L'extrémisme Politique À La Pensée Radicale
    Pieuvre géante, Golem envahissant, fan- tasme collectif et nouvelle grande peur des bien-pensants, l’extrémisme sculpte l’actualité. Mais qui sont les extrémistes ? Les mécontents, les ennemis du système, les contestataires, les destructeurs, les nihi- listes, les terroristes, les rebelles ? Extrémistes, les militants du Front natio- nal, les néo-royalistes, les catholiques intégristes ? Extrémistes, les trotskystes, les maoïstes, les nos- talgiques de Staline, les nationaux-communistes ? Toujours invoqué mais rarement défini, l’extrémisme serait-il la nou- velle hydre de Lerne des sciences politiques ? En répondant à ces questions, et à beaucoup d’autres, Christophe Bourseiller décrypte un phénomène politique majeur. Il montre que les extrémistes se distinguent par leur incapacité à tolérer l’ambiguïté et l’incertitude. Fascinés par la violence, allergiques au présent, ils militent pour un chan- gement radical de société et perçoivent leurs adversaires comme intrinsèquement maléfiques. Et, par-delà les pro- grammes, les manifestes, les excommunications, en appellent à l’avènement d’authentiques contre-cultures. Christophe Bourseiller est l’auteur d’une trentaine d’ouvrages, parmi lesquels Les Ennemis du système, Vie et Mort de Guy Debord, Les Maoïstes ou Extrême Droite. Il est par ailleurs maître de conférence à Sciences Po. L’extrémisme Une grande peur contemporaine Du même auteur Les Ennemis du système, Robert Laffont, 1989.

    Una experiencia de maquis Trotskista: Ohé Partisans! An experience of Trotskyist maquis: Ohé Partisans! por Emiliano R. Monge* Recibido: 7/3/2018 - Aprobado: 30/11/2018 Resumen La historia de la revolución mundial es también la historia de sus derro - tas y de los procesos contrarrevolucionarios. En Europa a la salida de la segunda guerra mundial surgieron situaciones revolucionarias en casi todos los países ocupados por el Reich: algunas derrotadas y otras, las menos, victoriosas. La historia de la Resistencia ha sido contada a partir de dos corrientes mayoritarias: aquella ligada a los Aliados (burguesa y H C T U T A P D : pequeñoburguesa) y la Resistencia asociada a los comunistas (estalinis - / E / R P N U O B S L mo).

  • Michel Pablo 1 Michel Pablo
    Michel Pablo 1 Michel Pablo Michel Pablo (Greek: Μισέλ Πάμπλο; August 24, 1911, Alexandria, Egypt – February 17, 1996) was the pseudonym of Michalis N. Raptis (Greek: Μιχάλης Ν. Ράπτης), a Trotskyist leader of Greek origin. Early activism He began a lifetime involvement with revolutionary politics in the late 1930s in Greece. Drawn into the "Spartacus" faction, he represented Greek Trotskyists at the founding conference of the Fourth International in Paris in 1938. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, Pablo graduated from the National Technical University of Athens and continued his studies in urban planning at the Sorbonne in Paris, where he was to spend much of the following decades. During the 1936 military dictatorship of Ioannis Metaxas Pablo was arrested and exiled in the Aegean island of Folegandros. There he was not admitted by the orthodox communists, also in exile, so he joined the company of cattle and horse thieves, who at that time were punished with exile. In Folegandros he met his future wife Elli Dyovounioti. Together they escaped from the island and later from Greece. Pablo was ill in Paris when the Second World War began. The same ill health meant until 1944 he played little part in the activities of the French Trotskyists although he was reported to have given educational classes to David Korner's Union Communiste. Leadership of the Fourth International By 1944 he was fully involved with the movement, and was elected the organizational secretary of its European Bureau, which had re-established contact with between the Trotskyist parties. After the war, Pablo became the central leader of the Fourth International with the support of the SWP of America and James P.
