June 2017 2 " Free Retriever<s Digest From the Editor Friday, June 16, 2017 =>S> With the third try-out issue of this Digest, this project takes a somewhat more concrete shape. Following a large selection of publications over the past month, it presents an in&itation to a de%ate on the lessons of the October revolution 1917: (oes 0'r+ism e'd to St'te Terror '8'inst the :or?in8 C 'ss3 and a re$ated ontri%ution fro" the histori a$ )er"an-dut h o""unist $eft on the topi 0'r+ 'nd the 1uestion o2 the St'te. Two new pamphlets fro" very different groups in the German language area: one fro" the ‘Group of International -ocialists’ (G.I.S.) and one from the group ‘Social Liberation’ /-oziale Befreiung) respectively, are presented in the 34press section. The first deals #ith the lessons from the revolutionary #ave of 1917 5 1923, the second with the lass struggles in Germany in the post-war period from 1945 to the explosion of the East bloc in 1(9(. Two texts adopted in the :uoted section: the latest Aurora broadsheet of the I.C.T. and a position paper fro" a proletarian group in Venezuela 5 albeit treating different subjects 5 both highlight the actuality of deciding between proletarian internationalism or nationalism, and notably the latter’s ‘left’ varieties. Finally, a last-minute contribution has been included on the strange appearance of a group who claims adherence to council communism, yet in practice calls for an anti-fascist popular front. As I hope, this issue provides both useful and interesting reading. The Free Retrie&er hopes to be back with a new release by mid-August.
