Organized Sport and Organized Labour: The Workers' Sports Movement
Perhaps the most important, albeit the most generally ignored and least understood, aspect of working class culture is sport. Working people, in contrast to the labour establishment and students of the labour movement, have embraced sport with a passion. Male workers in particular and female workers to a lesser extent have in the process changed what originated as a privilege and preserve of the 'upper classes'. This essay explores the reasons un…
Revolutionary Socialist Internationalism: Rank-and-File Reaction in the USPD
Historical accounts of the First, Second and Third Internationals, i.e., those organizations that attempted to realize some sort of supranational working-class solidarity, have traditionally been presented in terms of congresses, programs and personalities. Invariably scholars have focused on the public and private debates at this or that international meeting and/or how Marx, Engels, Lenin or some other leading figure influenced or reacted to so…

That in the end the Russian Revolution was contained and “world revolution” averted has been related by historians to any number of factors. Yet one of the most important reasons for the ebbing of the revolutionary tide has generally been overlooked or passed over lightly. This was the failure of the revolutionary …

The Failure of “Truth and Clarity” at Berne: Kurt Eisner, the Opposition and the Reconstruction of the International
To better understand why Marxist Internationalism took on the forms that it did during the revolutionary epoch that followed World War I, it is useful to reconsider the “International Labor and Socialist Conference” that met at Berne from January 26 to February 10,1919. This gathering not only set its mark on the “reconstruction” of the Second International, it also influenced both the formation and the development of the Communist International.…
