  • A Socialist Schism
    A Socialist Schism: British socialists' reaction to the downfall of Milošević by Andrew Michael William Cragg Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Marsha Siefert Second Reader: Professor Vladimir Petrović CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2017 Copyright notice Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This work charts the contemporary history of the socialist press in Britain, investigating its coverage of world events in the aftermath of the fall of state socialism. In order to do this, two case studies are considered: firstly, the seventy-eight day NATO bombing campaign over the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999, and secondly, the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević in October of 2000. The British socialist press analysis is focused on the Morning Star, the only English-language socialist daily newspaper in the world, and the multiple publications affiliated to minor British socialist parties such as the Socialist Workers’ Party and the Communist Party of Great Britain (Provisional Central Committee). The thesis outlines a broad history of the British socialist movement and its media, before moving on to consider the case studies in detail.

  • The Maoist Internationalist Movement on Colonialism, Imperialism, and Revolutionary Strategy
    The Maoist Internationalist Movement On Colonialism, Imperialism, and Revolutionary Strategy Second Edition This book is produced and published by LOOP, the Organization for the Liberation of Oppressed Peoples, an anti-colonial, anti-imperialist solidarity organization. You can learn more about LOOP at http://fight4loop.org. 2020 Points of Unity LOOP The Organization for the Liberation of Oppressed Peoples (LOOP) is a communist organization dedicated to the advance of anti-colonial and anti-imperialist politics. Decolonization. LOOP is committed to decolonization, the repatriation of all Native land and the restoration of Native self-determination and lifeways on that land. Every inch of the settler nation now called “the united states” is stolen land, and the oppression of Native nations is rooted in this ongoing dispossession. LOOP struggles against all forms of settler colonial politics, both right and “left,” and unites with all demands and struggles which push forward the return of Native land and justice for Indigenous peoples. Anti-Imperialism. The principal contradiction in the world is that between oppressed and oppressor nations. Our commitment to a proletarian and revolutionary internationalism means that we struggle to advance this principal contradiction in the favor of the world’s oppressed peoples and nations, the global majority. LOOP recognizes that a defining feature of imperialism today is an immense drain of surplus value from Global South labor to the parasitic nations of the Global North. LOOP works for the end of imperialism and demands the repatriation of this stolen wealth to its creators, the international proletariat. Communism. LOOP’s aim is the achievement of communism, a classless society free of all forms of oppression.

  • Ebbing Tide: Maoist Decline and Dissolution in the 1980S
    Ebbing Tide: Maoist decline and dissolution in the 1980s The 1980s was an eventful decade for the Maoist left in Britain, and not without features that remain on the agenda of the political left. Those questions that pre‐occupied the RCLB membership involved the understanding of what constituted class struggle within a developed imperialist society: it focused on investigations into an understanding of the effect of Eurocentrism on revolutionary thinking and the relationship between class identity and that of national minorities. Advances in understanding the importance and nature of Women’s Struggles and its contribution to the wider liberation struggles in society came along way from the crude anti‐petty bourgeois feminism labels applied a decade earlier. 1 Indeed, from 1980 the League in effect abandoned industrial base building as a strategic orientation, the main changes and new orientations in work were, against the background of massive unemployment and economic depression, to do with non‐industrial work. The 1980s seemed to have start well for some: the Communist Workers Movement united with the RCLB in June 1980, followed shortly after by the fusion of the largest of the small groups, the Birmingham Communist Association with the Revolutionary Communist League of Britain.2The RCLB had united five Marxist‐Leninist groups. The majority of Maoists, although much reduced with the defection of the CPB (ML) and RCPB (ML), were in one organisation at last, although still numbering less than a hundred. Yet the rest of the decade saw the RCLB experienced a deteriorating and unravelling as a democratic‐centralist organisation just avoiding the liquidationist trend identified internationally by the Workers Party of Belgium3.

By the 22nd Party Congress of the CPSU, Khrushchevite revi- sionism had become far more systematised, bold and open, with the result that it was, in fact, able to secure the adoption and incorporation of its erroneous propositions in a new programme adopted at that congress.

MIM’s theoretical innovations were a significant contribution to the political economy of imperialism – and the development of a communist political practice based on that analysis. Against the settler stream of the American left, MIM’s politics were based on a commitment to the liberation of oppressed nations within and without the United States.

Well, individual members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) expressed disquiet at the strategy laid out in The British Road to Socialism when it was first unveiled in 1951. In contrast to earlier programmes of the CPGB, The British Road proposed that socialism could be achieved by the labour movement working initially within Britain’s existing democratic structures. George Thompson1 may be the only member of the CPGB’s Executive Committee to vote against adoption of The British Road, because “the dictatorship of the proletariat was missing,”2 but he remained a member of the editorial board of the CPGB’s theoretical journal, Marxism Today. There may have been expressions of doubt from former Education Organiser of the Communist Party, Douglas Garman but he remained a party member until his death in 1969.3 On the other hand, the writer Edward Upward and his wife Hilda resigned from the CPGB in 1948, in protest of its “reformist” direction.
