An Alternative View of the Ukrainian Conflict
This article deals with views of the American scholar of Russian studies Stephen F. Cohen (1928–2020) on what he termed the “new Cold War”—i.e., the confrontation between the United States and Russia brought about by the US-driven expansion of NATO to Eastern Europe. Given the topicality of Cohen’s views for the analysis of the current war in Ukraine, this article offers a summary and critical assessment of Cohen’s analyses and of his warnings ab…
Marxism and Homosexual Liberation
The decriminalisation of homosexuality was a measure originally adopted by the bourgeois revolutions, which was abandoned by the bourgeois parties as the rise of the labour movement led the bourgeoisie to seek a compromise with landlords, clergy and monarchy in different countries. The demand to decriminalise homosexuality was therefore taken over by the Marxist workers’ parties, such as the Social-Democratic Party of Germany before the First Wor…
The First Workers’ Government in History
In Marxist circles it is common to refer to Karl Marx’s The Civil War in France for a theoretical analysis of the historical significance of the Paris Commune, and to Prosper-Olivier Lissagaray’s History of the Commune of 1871 for a description of the facts surrounding the insurrection of the Paris workers and its repression by the National Assembly led by Adolphe Thiers. What is less well-known is that Marx himself oversaw the German translation…
El marxismo y el movimiento de liberación homosexual
El presente trabajo analiza la despenalizacin de la homosexualidad como una medida adoptada por las revoluciones burguesas que, abandonado por los partidos burgueses a medida que el ascenso del proletariado impulsaba a la burguesa a buscar un compromiso con los terratenientes, el clero y las monarquas de los diferentes pases, fue recogida como una demanda por los partidos obreros marxistas, tales como el Partido Socialdemcrata de Alemania antes d…
A forgotten economic work by Rosa Luxemburg
The recent and very useful edition of Rosa Luxemburg’s economic works compiled by Peter Hudis ( The Complete Works of Rosa Luxemburg) left out one essay: her review of the first volume of Karl Marx’s Theories of Surplus Value, edited by Karl Kautsky in 1905. While book reviews are nowadays a minor genre usually limited to a short length, that was not the case when Luxemburg wrote her essay: her review – published in Vorwärts, the daily of the Soc…
El trotskismo francés y el debate sobre la resistencia partisana
La ocupación nazi de Francia dio lugar a uno de los debates más importantes dentro del trotskismo francés y de la IV Internacional: la cuestión nacional europea y las demandas democráticas. El problema nacional tuvo diferentes manifestaciones en distintos países, y a lo largo de Europa produjo el surgimiento de movimientos de resistencia contra los ocupantes. Los trotskistas franceses no fueron ajenos a dicho fenómeno y el debate sobre si debían …
Método y el propósito de la economía política marxista según Isaak Illich Rubin
En este ensayo analizamos las contribuciones del economista Isaak Illich Rubin (una víctima de las purgas de Stalin) al estudio del método de la economía política marxista. El artículo comienza analizando la contraposición que Rubin hace entre la teoría laboral del valor y la teoría subjetiva del valor, y luego pasa a examinar el concepto de valor de uso en Marx (que es clave para comprender la crítica de Rubin al marginalismo), las diferencias e…
Presentación de Rudolf Hilferding sobre el mercantilismo inglés
Uno de los objetivos implícitos de Hilferding es esclarecer la génesis de la economía política teórica para el caso inglés. Considera necesario el estudio de la historia del pensamiento económico a fin de apuntalar el desarrollo actual de la disciplina. El estudio de las ideas mercantilistas, por ejemplo, nos permite ubicar las raíces teóricas de las categorías que la economía política desarrollará posteriormente para dar cuenta de su objeto. El …
A Clean Break”
The movement of proletarian women of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, and by extension of the Second International (1889–1914), was structured by Clara Zetkin around the principle of a “clean break” between the women of the exploiting and exploited classes, which laid the programmatic foundations for the development of a mass movement of socialist working women that eventually grew to have 174,754 members in 1914. This movement, whose cent…
The Origins of the Transitional Programme
The origins of the Transitional Programme in Trotsky’s writings have been traced in the secondary literature. Much less attention has been paid to the earlier origins of the Transitional Programme in the debates of the Communist International between its Third and Fourth Congress, and in particular to the contribution of its largest national section outside Russia, the German Communist Party, which had been the origin of the turn to the united-fr…
Teorías marxistas del imperialismo en la Segunda Internacional
Este artículo aborda los principales debates teórico-políticos sobre el imperialismo que se produjeron en el marco de la Segunda Internacional. Pretende relevar las principales posturas sobre cómo debían posicionarse políticamente los socialistas frente a la expansión imperialista europea, sus miradas sobre los pueblos colonizados, las principales teorías usadas para explicar el fenómeno y las distintas acepciones que fue adoptando el concepto du…
Karl Kautsky and the Russian Revolution of 1905
In October 1906 G. V. Plekhanov sent a questionnaire to the leaders of international Social Democracy, requesting their opinion about the class character of the Russian Revolution and the tactics which followed from this analysis for the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. He received 12 responses, which overwhelmingly supported the Menshevik position: the Russian Revolution was not socialist, at most it was bourgeois revolution with socialis…
Paul Levi and the Origins of the United-Front Policy in the Communist International
During its first four congresses, held annually under Lenin (1919–22), the Communist International went through two distinct phases: while the first two congresses focused on programmatic and organisational aspects of the break with Social-Democratic parties (such as the ‘Theses on Bourgeois Democracy and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat’, adopted by the first congress, and the 21 ‘Conditions of Admission to the Communist International’, adopt…

Trotskismo y guevarismo en la revolución cubana, 1959-1967
Aunque Cuba fue, junto con Bolivia, uno de los dos pases de Latinoamrica en los que el trotskismo tuvo mayor implantacin en el movimiento obrero, su historia fue por mucho tiempo ignorada, en parte debido a la creciente adaptacin de la direccin de la revolucin cubana al estalinismo, y en parte debido a la identificacin acrtica de las principales corrientes trotskistas internacionales con el castrismo, que hizo que pasaran por alto dicha adaptacin…
Rudolf Hilferding on English Mercantilism
In 1911 Rudolf Hilferding, the author of the famous book Finance Capital: A Study of the Latest Phase of Capitalist Development, published an article on the history of English mercantilism in Die neue Zeit, the theoretical organ of the Social Democratic Party of Germany edited by Karl Kautsky. The writing of the article was motivated by the publication, the previous year, of the third volume of Theories of Surplus-Value, containing Marx's analysi…
Vera Zasulich’s Critique of Neo-Populism
Vera Zasulich’s shooting of Trepov, a governor of St Petersburg who had ordered the flogging of a political prisoner, in January 1878, catapulted her to international fame as a revolutionary heroine, a reputation that she put to good use by becoming one of the five ‘founding parents’ of Russian Marxism that created the ‘Group for the Emancipation of Labour’ in 1883. But her act of self-sacrifice also triggered, to her dismay, the institutionalisa…

Los orígenes del Programa de Transición en la Internacional Comunista
The roots of the Transitional Program in earlier writings of Trotsky have been traced in the secondary literature. Has received much less attention to the origins of the Transitional Program in discussions of the Comintern between the Third and Fourth Congress, and in particular the contribution of its largest outside Russia national section, the Communist Party of Germany, which was the source of the united front tactic in 1921.

Paul Levi y los orígenes del comunismo alemán
This paper evaluates the political activity of Paul Levi, the political heir of Rosa Luxemburg, who led the German Communist Party (KPD) from the death of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht in January 1919 until shortly before the putsch known as the "March Action" of 1921, two years during which Levi managed to transform the KPD into a revolutionary workers' party with 350,000 members. We will attempt to demonstrate, with the help of primary sou…
La recepción de las obras económicas de Karl Marx entre 1867-1910
El problema que los discípulos de Marx encontraron repetidamente luego de su muerte, acaecida en 1883, fue que su obra manuscrita estuvo durante cuatro décadas en proceso de elaboración. Sabemos por el prólogo a la Contribución a la Crítica de la Economía Política que Marx pretendía considerar el sistema de la economía burguesa en seis libros (capital, propiedad de la tierra, trabajo asalariado; estado, comercio exterior, mercado mundial), sin em…
A Strange Mixture of Guevara and Togliatti’
This article analyses the intellectual and political trajectory of the Pasado y Presente group in Argentina, focusing on its main representative, José María Aricó (1931–91). Although usually described as ‘the Argentine Gramscians’, the ‘Gramscianism’ of the Pasado y Presente group was actually little more than a theoretical cover for its erratic political behaviour, which led them from Stalinism to Guevarism, from Guevarism to Maoism, from Maoism…
Strategy and Tactics in a Revolutionary Period
The outbreak of the Second World War found U. S. Trotskyism divided into two organizations: the Socialist Workers Party led by James Cannon, and the Workers Party led by Max Shachtman. The downfall of Mussolini on July 24, 1943 led to the appearance of a third current: a minority within the SWP led by Felix Morrow, Jean van Heijenoort and Albert Goldman. Confronting the SWP leaders' line, according to which U. S. imperialism would operate in Euro…
The American Path of Bourgeois Development Revisited
Charles Post's recent collection of essays, The American Road to Capitalism: Studies in Class-Structure, Economic Development and Political Conflict, 1620-1877 , was greeted with enthusiasm in Marxist circles. Post's essays are an attempt to apply the so-called "Brenner thesis" (according to which the transition from feudalism to capitalism was the result of the self-transformation of the English landowners) to American historical development. Si…
Under German Eyes
During the late 1880s and early 1890s, German socialist immigrants grouped around a club called Vorwärts played a key role in the consolidation of the first socialist groups in Argentina. In the context of a deep economic and political crisis, Ger-mán Avé-Lallemant (1835-1910) — a mining engineer and land surveyor born in Lübeck, who later served as the Argentine correspondent of Die Neue Zeit , the theoretical journal of German Social Democracy …

Permanent Revolution — But Without Socialism
In his criticism of Witnesses to Permanent Revolution Lars Lih argues that, except for Trotsky, all the other authors included in our volume were proponents of a bourgeois-democratic revolution in permanence. The problem with this idea is that it misses the whole point of the debate, which was precisely to what extent bourgeois (peasant) and socialist (proletarian) elements would be combined in the coming revolution. Philosophically, it displays …
The early reception of Rosa Luxemburg's theory of imperialism
This article deals with the reception of Rosa Luxemburg's The Accumulation of Capital: A Contribution to the Economic Explanation of Imperialism in the Second International before the start of the First World War. Our analysis shows that, if the condemnation of The Accumulation of Capital by the political right and centre was almost unanimous, its acceptance by the left was far from universal. In fact, both Lenin and Pannekoek rejected Luxemburg'…
A la conquista de la clase obrera
Argentine historiography in general, and the history of the Argentine Left in particular, does not receive the attention it deserves in the Anglo-Saxon academic world, due to linguistic and cultural barriers. In this article, we attempt to review for the English-reading public three recent contributions to the history of Marxism in Argentina (Horacio Tarcus’s Marx en la Argentina: Sus primeros lectores obreros, intelectuales y científicos, Hernán…
The American Path of Bourgeois Development
The peculiarities of American political, social and intellectual development have been determined by the fact that, economically speaking, the United States was a colonial country during the first three centuries of its existence, and that, towards the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, it effected an almost direct transition from a colonial to an imperialist economy. The aim of this article is to analyse, from the …

Archive Marxism and the Union Bureaucracy
This work is a companion piece to ‘The American Worker’, Karl Kautsky's reply to Werner Sombart's Why Is There No Socialism in the United States? (1906), first published in English in the November 2003 edition of this journal. In August 1909 Kautsky wrote an article on Samuel Gompers, the president of the American Federation of Labor, on the occasion of the latter's first European tour. The article was not only a criticism of Gompers's anti-socia…
The Populist Interpretation of American History
A materialist criticism of the interpretation of American history offered by Charles A. Beard finds that both the strengths and the weaknesses of the Progressive—or rather Populist—historians can be deduced from their character as intellectual representatives of the old middle class of petty proprietors. This class was especially influential in American history due to the presence of the “frontier,” the petit-bourgeois regime of landed property, …
A materialist analysis of slavery and sharecropping in the Southern United States
The historical nature of Southern slavery and of the social relations established after its abolition have for a long time been a source of heated debate among American historians. During the last decades, historians have tended to divide into two camps: neoclassical economic historians, who identify slavery and sharecropping with capitalism, and social historians, more or less influenced by Marxism, who define them correctly as pre‐capitalist so…

The American Worker' and the Theory of Permanent Revolution
a series of articles developing the idea that the Russian Revolution of 1905 would go beyond the framework of the classical bourgeois revolutions and lead to 'the ushering in of an era of European revolutions that will end with the dictatorship of the socialist society'. 4 In the 1922 Introduction to his book 1905, Trotsky remarked on Kautsky's position at that time
Karl Kautsky on capitalism in the ancient World
This translation of the 1912 preface by Karl Kautsky to Salvioli's book about captalism in the ancient world confirms the centrality to his interest of the way in which economic history informs the present and maps out the future. It reveals a concern not only with pre-capitalist and capitalist systemic transition but also economic development in turn prefigures socialism. Accordingly, kautsky's focus is on the connections between yet the distini…

Marxist Analyses of Stalinism
Marcel van der Linden’s recent book Western Marxism and the Soviet Union (Brill, 2007) deals mostly with what is usually referred to as Stalinism, i.e. the regime that developed in Russia in the aftermath of the civil war following the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917. The word ‘Stalinism’ does not appear in the title, however, because the first chapter analyzes the early criticisms of the Soviet experiment, while it was still led by Lenin an…
Discovering Imperialism
The theory of imperialism is usually associated with some of the ‘big names’ in the history of European Marxism, such as Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, Rudolf Hilferding and Nikolai Bukharin, alongside whom the English Progressive John Hobson is usually mentioned. However, little is known about the development of Marxist theory on this subject besides the books of these figures. This volume assembles for the first time the main documents of the internati…
