  • Individualism and Socialism
    INDIVIDUALISM AND SOCIALISM. (1834) By Pierre Leroux AND OTHER WRITINGS ON THE DOCTRINE OF HUMANITY INDIVIDUALISM AND SOCIALISM. (1834.—After the massacres on the Rue Transnonain.) At times, even the most resolute hearts, those most firmly focused on the sacred beliefs of progress, lose courage and feel themselves full of disgust with the present. In the 16th century, when we murdered in our civil wars, it was in the name of God and with a crucifix in hand; it was a question of the most sacred things, of things which, once they have secured our conviction and our faith, dominate our natures so legitimately that there is nothing to do but obey, and even our most precious prerogatives are voluntarily sacrificed to the divine will. In the name of what principle do we today send off, by telegraph, pitiless orders, and transform proletarian soldiers into the executioners of their own class? Why has our era seen cruelties which recall St. Bartholemew? Why have men been fanaticized to the point of making them slaughter the elderly, women, and children in cold blood? Why has the Seine rolled with murders which recall the arquebuscades from the windows of the Louvre? It is not in the name of God and eternal salvation that these things are done. It is in the name of material interests. Our century is, it seems, quite vile, and we have degenerated even from the crimes of our fathers. To kill in the manner of Charles IX or Torquemada, in the name of faith and the Church, because one believes that God desires it, because one has a fanatic spirit, exalted by the fear of hell and the hope of paradise, is still to have some grandeur and some generosity in one's crime.

  • Die Überwindung Des Bestehenden 4
    DIE ÜBERWINDUNG DES BESTEHENDEN 4 Aus dem bisher Gesagten lässt sich die ‚objektive‘ * Notwendigkeit der Abschaffung des bestehenden patriarchalen und kapitalistischen Systems deutlich Es ist das Ausmaß ihrer ablesen. Es ist das Ausmaß ihrer Destruktivität, das die Destruktivität *, das die Überwindung der herrschenden Überwindung der herrschenden Gesellschaft ‚objektiv' notwendig Gesellschaft ‚objektiv' notwendig ( ) macht. „Es ist an der Zeit, einen macht. Allein die subjektive * radikalen Bruch in Europa zu Notwendigkeit scheint zu fehlen. wagen!“ 1 Dieser Bruch muss hier stattfinden. Er darf sich nicht in Appellen, Demos und der Solidarisierung mit Kämpfen in aller Welt erschöpfen. Je länger es dauert, bis er stattfindet, desto stärker werden die Zerstörungen des Kapitalismus die Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten einschränken. Oder, in anderen Worten: „In einer Welt, in der sich der soziale und ökologische Krieg jeden Moment weiter zuspitzt, ist es an der Zeit, zu einem Punkt zu kommen, an dem wir die Möglichkeit zur Veränderung der Welt nicht länger als eine Frage formulieren, diese Veränderung auch in die eigenen Hände zu nehmen. Die Notwendigkeit einer radikalen gesellschaftlichen Veränderung ist angesichts der globalen Lage keine theoretische Möglichkeit, sondern ein Fakt.“ 2 Wir können nicht die Revolution machen, aber wir können dazu beitragen, diese vorzubereiten. 3 Dieser revolutionäre Bruch strebt danach, jede Form von Herrschaft zu überwinden. Denn: „Wir haben nicht zweierlei Gewicht und zweierlei Maß für die Tugenden der Beherrschten und die der Herrschenden; wir wissen, dass wir selbst nicht ohne Fehler sind und dass die besten unter uns durch Machtausübung schnell korrumpiert wären. Wir nehmen die Menschen als das was sie sind und darum hassen wir die Herrschaft von Menschen über Menschen und arbeiten Anm.

Now that this issue is the 7th published by the “new” collective we can safely drop the “new” bit! We believe that we have come a long way with Black Flag. As a very small collective we have managed to publish and sustain a consistent and high-quality, twice yearly, class- struggle anarchist publication on a shoe-string budget and limited personnel. Before proceeding further, we would like to make our usual appeal for more people to get involved with the editorial group. The more people who get involved, the more Black Flag will grow with increased frequency and wider distribution etc. This issue includes our usual eclectic mix of libertarian-left theory, history, debate, analysis and reportage. Additionally, this issue is again somewhat of an anniversary issue, which acknowledges two significant events.

  • Socialism As a Cultural Movement?
    REVIEW ESSAY Ahlrich Meyer SOCIALISM AS A CULTURAL MOVEMENT? WEBER, PETRA. Sozialismus als Kulturbewegung. Fruhsozialistische Ar- beiterbewegung und das Entstehen zweier feindlicher Bruder Marxismus und Anarchismus. [Beitrage zur Geschichte des Parlamentarismus und der politischen Parteien, Band 86.] Droste Verlag, Diisseldorf 1989. 545 pp. DM 98.00. There is nothing wrong in tackling the intellectual history of social move- ments from a contemporary interest and perspective. Such an approach often uncovers things previously buried under the debris of received wis- dom. Moreover, early socialism, the topic under discussion here, has long been used as a screen on which to project topical ideological arguments. This dissertation by Petra Weber on the "early socialist labour movement and the rise of the two hostile brothers Marxism and anarchism" (thus the subtitle), sponsored by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, supervised by Profes- sor Heinrich August Winkler and Professor Wilhelm Hennis and published by the Bonn Commission on Parliamentary History and Political Parties, is the latest attempt to respond to "the demand for alternative concepts of socialism" (p. 13) by recalling socialist traditions preceding and contempo- raneous with Marx. The author stresses primarily two themes in her at- tempted actualization: firstly she highlights the much neglected continuity between early socialism and anarchism and endeavours to reverse the suppression of anarchism from the history of socialism, and secondly she relies on the change of paradigm in sociohistorical research pioneered by E. P. Thompson and others by adopting a broad notion of "working-class culture" and the labour movement as a "cultural movement". Together these provide the thesis of her book, namely that "the continuity of early socialism and anarchism must be sought in its self-image as a cultural movement" (p.

  • Community Security in Caracas: the Collective Action of Foundation Alexis Vive
    COMMUNITY SECURITY IN CARACAS: THE COLLECTIVE ACTION OF FOUNDATION ALEXIS VIVE A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Latin American Studies By Jonathan Weinstock, B.A. Washington, DC August 25, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Jonathan Weinstock All Rights Reserved ii COMMUNITY SECURITY IN CARACAS: THE COLLECTIVE ACTION OF FOUNDATION ALEXIS VIVE Jonathan Weinstock, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Marc W Chernick, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis is divided into two arguments. The first part is an argument for community security: a community-based vision of human security, which conflates development and personal security. Social movements then animate community security, addressing local problems and creating endogenous solutions. Arturo Escobar’s work on post-development theory and Raúl Zibechi’s new social movements as territories in resistance best explains this phenomenon. At the community level, I utilize Stephen Schneider’s work on community crime prevention and organic mobilization as complex and difficult to maintain. With this lens, I establish an analytical framework for community security movements based on the themes of identity, praxis, constituency and autonomy. Examinations on gender relations, networks, violence and production are also weaved into the analysis. The second part is an argument that a Caracas (Venezuela) based group is a community security movement and that this analytical framework is best fitted for understanding them. Though Caracas is among the most insecure and politically turbulent cities in Latin America, small pockets of peace exist in working class neighborhoods.

    THE COUNTERNARRATIVES OF DOÑA LUCHA: POPULAR POLITICS, DEMOCRACY, AND CITIZENSHIP ON THE PERIPHERIES OF GUADALAJARA, MEXICO, 1965-1994 by Brad H. Wright A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public History Middle Tennessee State University August 2020 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Christoph Rosenmüller, Chair Dr. Martha Norkunas Dr. Louis Kyriakoudes Dr. Tanalís Padilla ACKNOWLEDGMENTS During the many stages of a six-year process of research and writing, I benefited immeasurably from the mentorship, support, and scholarly critiques of Christoph Rosenmüller, Tanalís Padilla, Martha Norkunas, Louis Kyriakoudes, and Pippa Holloway. Alex Aviña, Celso Castilho, Carwil Bjork-James, Jorge Delgadillo, Jaime Pensado, and Catherine Nolan-Ferrell all kindly engaged this project at different moments and provided rich insights.

  • A Political Assassination
    A Political Assassination The following statement was issued l\1ay 17, 1966, by the Political Committee of the Socialist Workers Party: A young socialist antiwar fighter, Leo Bernard, was slain yesterday in the Detroit headquarters of the Socialist Workers Party by an ultra-reactionary gun­ man.

It follows the bombing of the W. E. B. DuBois Club offices in San Francisco and the bomb­ ing of the headquarters of the Berkeley Vietnam Day Committee. The pattern is one of terroristic intimidation against the American antiwar, anti-racist, radical youth and socialist forces. The Detroit victims were members of the Socialist Workers Party or the Young Socialist Alliance, both energetic participants in the protest movements against the U. S. intervention in Vietnam and in the Freedom Now struggleofthe Negro people. This murderous assault was politically motivated. It was a product of the witchhunt atmosphere that has been stirred up and intensified by the "dirty" war LEO BERNARD in Vietnam. From the White House on down to the October 24, 1938-May 16, 1966 .John Birchers and the Ku Klux Klan, the country is being incessantly incited against the "communist men­ ace."

It is tragic confirmation of the recent warning by Senator Ful­ increasingly prone to violence.
