Chrestomathy of the Icc CHRESTOMATHY OF THE ICC (INTERNATIONAL «COMMUNIST» CURRENT) Or The Mirror of ideological apparatus of a postmodern neo-stalinist sect By Dr. Sirius CHARDIN, doctor in Darwinism, Parasitism and Sectology Price : 4 £ / 5 € Unpopular books, London – March 2015 1 This lie [Stalinism], in its various forms, has been the greatest enemy of marxism, of communism and the socialist revolution this century. It has helped to bury the revolutionary traditions of the working class under an immense dung-heap of mystifications, it has turned millions and millions of proletarians away from the very idea of challenging capitalism and of changing society. (Alan COHEN, THE DECADENCE OF SHAMANS or shamanism as a key to the secrets of communism, Unpopular books, London 1991) 2 3 Long live leninism ! Punk poetry (found on a Berlin's wall). 4 In Memory of Osip Mandelstam (1891 – 1938) THE STALIN EPIGRAM Мы живем, под собою не чуя страны, Наши речи за десять шагов не слышны, А где хватит на полразговорца, - Там помянут кремлевского горца… Его толстые пальцы, как черви жирны А слова, как пудовые гири, верны Тараканьи смеются усища И сияют его голенища А вокруг него сброд тонкошеих вождей Он играет услугами полулюдей Кто мяучет, кто плачет, кто хнычет Лишь один он бабачит и тычет. Как подковы кует за указом указ – Кому в пах, кому в лоб, кому в бровь, кому в глаз Что ни казнь у него, - то малина И широкая грудь осетина. We are living, but can’t feel the land where we stay, More than ten steps away you can’t hear what we say. But if people would talk on occasion, They should mention the Kremlin Caucasian. His thick fingers are bulky and fat like live-baits, And his accurate words are as heavy as weights. Cucaracha’s moustaches are screaming, And his boot-tops are shining and gleaming. But around him a crowd of thin-necked henchmen, And he plays with the services of these half-men. Some are whistling, some meowing, some sniffing, He’s alone booming, poking and whiffing. He is forging his rules and decrees like horseshoes – Into groins, into foreheads, in eyes, and eyebrows. Every killing for him is delight, And Ossetian torso is wide. 5 Old stalinist poetry : Aragon PRÉLUDE AU TEMPS DES CERISES (Persécuté-Persécuteur, Denoël, 1931) Il s’agit de préparer le procès monstre d’un monde monstrueux Aiguisez demain sur la pierre Préparez les conseils d’ouvriers et soldats Constituez le tribunal révolutionnaire J’appelle la Terreur du fond de mes poumons Je chante le Guépéou qui se forme en France à l’heure qu’il est Je chante le Guépéou nécessaire de France Je chante les Guépéous de nulle part et de partout Je demande un Guépéou pour préparer la fin d’un monde Demandez un Guépéou pour préparer la fin d’un monde pour défendre ceux qui sont trahis pour défendre ceux qui sont toujours trahis Demandez un Guépéou vous qu’on plie et vous qu’on tue Demandez un Guépéou Il vous faut un Guépéou Vive le Guépéou véritable image de la grandeur matérialiste Vive le Guépéou contre Dieu Chiappe et la Marseillaise Vive le Guépéou contre le pape et les poux Vive le Guépéou contre la résignation des banques Vive le Guépéou contre les manœuvres de l’Est Vive le Guépéou contre la famille Vive le Guépéou contre les lois scélérates Vive le Guépéou contre le socialisme des assassins du type Caballero Boncour Mac Donald Zoergibel Vive le Guépéou contre tous les ennemis du prolétariat. 6 [Aragon] a tout piétiné, y compris sa propre ombre, tout «souillé» de ses premières amours, tout «pollué» de ses dernières «déjections». Que le patriote bêlant dont l’oreille et le «foie» s’épanouissent au cocorico d’Aragon ne se gêne pas; il le trouvera dans la poubelle au bas de mon escalier, et il peut l’y ramasser. Et maintenant je vais me laver les mains et me rincer la bouche. Jean MALAQUAIS, 1947, Le nommé Louis Aragon ou le patriote professionnel (Syllepse) He has dishonored everything, including his own shadow ; he has soiled everything including his first loves, polluted everything… The bleating patriot, the Moldavian- Batavian patriot, whose ear and liver swell at the sound of Aragon’s crowing, are welcome to him. They will find him at the foot of my stairway, in the ashcan. They can pick him up from there. And wow I will wash my hands an my mouth. Mexico Ciudad, March 7, 1945 (Politics, August 1945) 7 Chrestomathy Political Parasitism: The «CBG» Does the Bourgeoisie’s Work In the International Review No. 82, and in our territorial press in 12 countries, the ICC published articles on its 11th Congress. These articles informed the revolutionary milieu and the working class about the political struggle which has taken place in the ICC recently for the establishment of a really marxist functioning at all levels of our organizational life. At the center of this combat was the overcoming of what Lenin called the «circle spirit». This required in particular the liquidation of informal groupings based on personal loyalties and petty bourgeois individualism, what Rosa Luxemburg referred to as «tribes» or «clans». The articles we published placed the present combat in continuity with that waged by the Marxists against the Bakuninists in the 1st International, by the Bolsheviks against Menshevism in the Russian party, but also by the ICC throughout its history. In particular, we affirmed the petty bourgeois anti-organizational basis of the different splits which have taken place in the history of the ICC, which were neither motivated nor justified by political divergences. They were the result of non-marxist, non- proletarian organizational behavior, of what Lenin called the anarchism of the intelligentsia and the literary bohemian. A problem of the whole milieu We did not report in our press on our internal debate out of exhibitionism, but because we are convinced that the problems we are confronting are not at all specific to the ICC. We are convinced that the ICC would not have been able to survive without the radical 8 stamping out of the anarchism in organizational matters in our ranks. We see the same danger threatening the revolutionary milieu as a whole. The weight of the ideas and behavior of the petty bourgeoisie, its resistance to organizational discipline and collective principles, has affected all groups to a greater or lesser extent. The break in organic continuity with revolutionary organizations of the past through 50 years of counter revolution, the interruption of the living process of the passing on of priceless organizational experience from one generation of marxists to the next, has made the new generation of proletarian militants after 1968 particularly vulnerable to the inf1uence of the petty bourgeoisie in revolt (student and protest movements, etc). Thus, our present struggle is not the internal affair of the ICC. The Congress articles are aimed at the defense of the entire proletarian milieu. They constitute an appeal to all serious marxist groupings to clarify on the proletarian concept of functioning, and to make known the lesson of their struggle with petty bourgeois disorganization. The revolutionary milieu as a whole needs to be much more vigilant towards the intrusion of modes of behavior foreign to the proletariat. It needs to consciously and openly organize its own defense. The attack of parasitism against the revolutionary camp The first public reaction to our articles on our 11th Congress came, not from within the proletarian milieu, but from a group openly hostile to it. Under the heading «The ICC Reaches Waco», the so-called Communist Bulletin Group, in its 16th and last «Bulletin» is not ashamed to follow in the best traditions of the bourgeoisie by denigrating Marxist organizations. «Salem or Waco would have been an appropriate venue for this particular congress. While it is tempting to lampoon or ridicule the monstrous proceedings of this congress-cum- kangaroo court, where, inter alia, Bakunin and Lassalle were denounced as «not necessarily» police spies and Martov characterized as an «anarchist «, the overwhelming emotion is of great sadness that a once so dynamic and positive organization should be reduced to this sorry state». «In the best Stalinist tradition the ICC then proceeds to rewrite its history (just as it did after the 1985 split) to show that every major difference (...) has been caused not by militants with different opinions of a question but by the intrusion of alien ideologies into the body of the ICC». «What the ICC cannot grasp is that it is their own monolithic practice that is the problem here. What happened at the 11th congress was surely simply the bureaucratic triumph of one clan over another, a jostling for control of the Central Organs, something that was widely predicted after the death of their founder member MC». For the CBG, what took place at the ICC Congress must have been «two or more days of psychological battering. Readers who have any knowledge of the brainwashing 9 techniques of religious sects will understand this process. Those who have read of the mental tortures inflicted on those who confessed to impossible «crimes» at the Moscow Show Trials will, likewise, suss what went on». And here, the CBG quotes itself from 1982, after its members left the ICC: «For every militant there will always be the question: How far can I go in this discussion before I am condemned as an alien force, a menace, a petty bourgeois? How far can I go before I am regarded with suspicion? How far before I am a police spy?». These quotations speak for themselves. They reveal better than anything else the true nature, not of the ICC but of the «CBG».

  • The High Tide of UK Anti-Revisionism: a History
    1 HIGH TIDE Reg’s Working Class Party Throughout its history there were only a few times when the organisational skeleton of a national ML force was in the making: McCreery in the initial break from the CPGB led the first occasion. With the demise of the CDRCU, it was the launch of the CPB (ML), led by former Communist Party Executive member, Reg Birch that saw the beginnings of a national ML force unchallenged for almost a decade until the late 1970s emergence of the rejuvenated and "bolshevised" Revolutionary Communist League. For the first half of the decade, it was the CPB (ML) that seemed the most promising organisation to make a political break through. The project initiated by Reg Birch could draw upon a lot of goodwill. Birch, with a pedigree of both trade union and communist activity, offered the chance of gathering the best forces of the ML movement around the standard he had raised. Those who were already disgusted with the inward‐looking squabbling, that seemed to dominate the activities of some groups, look forward to the opportunity for serious political work in trade unions and campaigns directed at winning working class support. Reg Birch was an initial asset to the formation of the CPB (ML) and not without confidence, he announced: “Small and new as it is on the British political scene the Communist Party of Britain (Marxist Leninist) is the only party which is genuinely a workers' party. It was founded by workers, serves only the working class and is unswervingly committed to the revolutionary task of smashing capitalism and all its institutions so that exploitation can be ended and workers can establish their own socialist state."1 He had the initial support of, not only his own engineering base, but also of probably the largest single organised Marxist‐Leninist group in the country, the Association of Indian Communist, those Maoists of Indian origin resident in Britain.

  • Debating Power and Revolution in Anarchism, Black Flame and Historical Marxism 1
    Detailed reply to International Socialism: debating power and revolution in anarchism, Black Flame and 1 historical Marxism 7 April 2011 Source: http://lucienvanderwalt.blogspot.com/2011/02/anarchism-black-flame-marxism-and- ist.html Lucien van der Walt, Sociology, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, [email protected] **This paper substantially expands arguments I published as “Counterpower, Participatory Democracy, Revolutionary Defence: debating Black Flame, revolutionary anarchism and historical Marxism,” International Socialism: a quarterly journal of socialist theory, no. 130, pp. 193-207. http://www.isj.org.uk/index.php4?id=729&issue=130 The growth of a significant anarchist and syndicalist2 presence in unions, in the larger anti-capitalist milieu, and in semi-industrial countries, has increasingly drawn the attention of the Marxist press. International Socialism carried several interesting pieces on the subject in 2010: Paul Blackledge’s “Marxism and Anarchism” (issue 125), Ian Birchall’s “Another Side of Anarchism” (issue 127), and Leo Zeilig’s review of Michael Schmidt and my book Black Flame: the revolutionary class politics of anarchism and syndicalism (also issue 127).3 In Black Flame, besides 1 I would like to thank Shawn Hattingh, Ian Bekker, Iain McKay and Wayne Price for feedback on an earlier draft. 2 I use the term “syndicalist” in its correct (as opposed to its pejorative) sense to refer to the revolutionary trade unionism that seeks to combine daily struggles with a revolutionary project i.e., in which unions are to play a decisive role in the overthrow of capitalism and the state by organizing the seizure and self-management of the means of production.

  • Workers' Playtime
    Workers’ Playtime on the miners’ strike (articles from April 1983 to May 1985) Workers’ Playtime was a more-or-less regular class struggle-oriented journal produced between Feb ’83 and May ’85. It was written and edited by a small group of revolutionaries who had got together through the London Workers Group (LWG) in the early 1980s, although it never aimed to be the journal (theoretical or otherwise) of the LWG. It is of interest because it provides detailed analysis of some of the most important workers’ struggles which took place in the UK in this period, as they were happening. Here is everything that Playtime published which directly related to the ’84-’85 miners’ strike, including two articles about struggles in the mining industry shortly before the so-called Great Strike.

Dobbiamo renderci conto infatti chiaramente che abbiamo a che fare con un nuovo inizio, o per usare un’analogia, che noi ora non siamo negli anni Venti del Novecento ma in un certo senso all’inizio dell’Ottocento, quando dopo la rivoluzione francese si cominciava a formare lentamente il movi- mento operaio. Credo che questa idea sia molto importante per il teorico, perché ci si dispera assai presto quando l’enunciazione di certe verità pro- duce solo un’eco molto limitata.
