Antifa’s Long History and the Politics of ‘Lesser Evilism’ in the Current Conjuncture
The Past Is Before Us
On Method and Militant Resistance
A Hero From Capitalism’s Hell
A tribute to Mike Davis, perhaps the finest revolutionary-socialist writer the US has produced. From boyhood geologizing with his meat-cutter father in the Californian desert to radical organizing in sixties LA, education in Western Marxism and voracious reading in labour history, political economy and urban ecology, the making of a great organic intellectual of the American working class
A Hero from Capitalism's Hells
1 Cause for concern was clearly warranted.As I would later learn, the inevitably inadequate official crime statistics suggested that between 2003 and 2007 anti-Latino hate crimes jumped 40 per cent across the United States.In 1

A Left History of Liquorice
This article is part of a special Left History series reflecting upon changing currents and boundaries in the practice of left history, and outlining the challenges historians of the left must face in the current tumultuous political climate. This series extends a conversation first convened in a 2006 special edition of Left History (11.1), which asked the question, “what is left history?” In the updated series, contributors were asked a slightly…
The New New Poor Law
This essay is an attempt to outline recent trends in the criminalization of working-class lives. It casts the net broadly, both historically and geographically, situating capitalist austerity's recent turn to mass incarceration in the United States and Canada in early 19th-century poor law sensibilities. What is happening now differs from the workhouse regime of industrial capitalism's new poor law, of course, but it has undoubted connections to …
How Can We Write Better Histories of Communism
How Can We Write Better Histories of Communism? Bryan D. Palmer (bio) The fall 2018 issue of Labour/Le Travail establishes how scholarship on the Communist Party of Canada (cpc) remains a vital field of study in the history of the working class. Three of the four articles published address discrete components of cpc experience. C. Scott Eaton provides a fresh reading of the Canadian Labour Defense League's campaign (1931–36) against the repressiv…
Approaching working-class history as struggle
The French turn in the United States
To expand dissident communism’s influence in 1934 Trotsky urged his supporters to join the French Socialist Party. A fusion of the Trotskyist Communist League of America (Opposition) led by James P. Cannon, and a radicalizing American Workers Party headed by A. J. Muste, formed the Workers Party (WP) in 1934–1935. The WP soon followed this entryist orientation in 1936. This article challenges a previous historiography, addressing the ways in whic…
Canada’s “1968” and Historical Sensibilities
was an international phenomenon.From Paris to New York, from Mexico City to Karachi, students, workers, and peasants mobilized and marched against war and imperialist aggression, for rights, entitlements, and participatory democracy, opposing bureaucratic officialdoms and effete elites.If '68ers did not always articulate clearly what they were for, they certainly knew what they were against."It was right to rebel" echoed across barricades and thr…
Response to commentaries
Leo Panitch
Few Canadian socialist intellectuals have had the national and international impact of Leo Panitch. This brief tribute to his many accomplishments outlines the shifting nature of his intellectual concerns over the course of the last five decades, stressing the continuity of his socialist commitments and accent on the important place of the state in the development of both Canada and the global capitalism within which it is situated. This focus on…
Mind Forg'd Manacles" and Recent Pathways to "New" Labor Histories
Since the 1990s, labor history has been presented as "in crisis". This negative evaluation is an overstatement. It has nevertheless prodded historians, often productively, to rethink the basic orientations of working-class history. This survey article explores three recent pathways to a "new" labor history: the turn to transnational and global study; the "new" history of capitalism; and the study of slavery as unfree labor. These new approaches t…

Trotskyists on Trial

Haverty-Stacke, Trotskyists on Trial: Free Speech and Political Persecution since the Age of FDR (New York: New York University Press 2015) On 8 December 1941, eighteen defendants in a Minneapolis courtroom were sentenced to prison-terms ranging from twelve months plus a day to sixteen months. Having os…
Reconsiderations of class
The experience of class conflict, proletarian mobilization, and class consciousness – so clearly visible in 1917-21, 1934-37, and 1946-48 – was very much on the 20th century’s calendar again in the mid-1960s, when the Socialist Register was founded. This ‘moment’ of class struggle, reaching from 1965-74 was, arguably, labour’s last stand in the faltering economic climate of the post-World War II ‘long boom’ that was obviously winding down. For by…

Critical Theory, Historical Materialism, and the Ostensible End of Marxism
This essay notes the extent to which poststructuralism/postmodernism have generally espoused hostility to historical materialism, surveys some representative examples of historical writing that have gravitated toward the new critical theory in opposition to Marxism, and closes with a discussion of the ironic evolution of a poststructurally inclined, anti-Marxist historiography. Counter to the prevailing ideological consensus that Marxism has been…

Reasoning Rebellion
This paper commences with a suggestion that “the British Marxists” may well be a more diverse group than has generally been recognized. It concerns itself with the formation of the first British New Left in the1950s. The content of the E.P. Thompson and John Saville edited journal, The New Reasoner is examined, with attention paid to the publication’s internationalism, its use of critical social science, the accent placed on culture, and the stre…
Labour Protest and Organization in Nineteenth-Century Canada, 1820-1890
RECENTLY-PUBLISHED STUDIES of labour in nineteenth-century Cana da have expanded our understanding of the forms and extent of working class protest and organization.1 But we still lack an accessible concise depic tion of the general contours of conflict and union formation. Earlier region al tabulations of strike activity, moreover, are now clearly dated and their partial findings inadequate.2 The following data, drawn from a range of nineteenth-…

Arguments within English Marxism
characteristic form taken by English since the war has been the study of history. No writer exemplifies its achievements better than Edward Thompson, whose of the English Working Class is probably the most influential single work of historical scholarship by a socialist today. An editor of The Reasoner in 1957 59, a founder of the Left in 1960, now an eloquent champion of civil rights, Thompson has most recently aroused widespread interest with t…
