Why the Soviet Bureaucracy Is Not a New Ruling Class; Reply by Paul Sweezy; The Ever Vanishing Vision; More on Althusser's Marxism
Paul Sweezy has finally started to discuss the Marxist tradition—which, he acknowledges, is by and large represented by Trotskyism—with regard to the Russian Revolution and its subsequent fate. True, he still rejects that interpretation. But he is at least ready to discuss it, and his first comments contained in Monthly Review (October 1978) are of a provisional nature. By answering them on the main challenges they raise, we hope to be able to co…
Definitions of Socialism; Comment
The editors are to be congratulated for declaring in the October issue that the Soviet military occupation of Czechoslovakia was a "disaster." Here is an instance of arrogance, lawlessness, and stupidity by mealy-mouthed national policy-makers which has no recent parallel outside of Washington, D.C. The mealy-mouthed equivocations of some "leftists" on this outrage deserve only contempt.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website…

Russia since 1917
The Soviet Union and German Rearmament
Western hopes and Soviet fears of German rearmament are both products of past German military prowess. But Germany has no future as a military power thanks to the industrialization of Russia and the advent of the atomic and thermonuclear age. NATO strategy is unworkable. Muscovite anxieties are irrational. Soviet responses to German rearmament are reviewed and the need for a reappraisal of policy expounded

The Commonwealth of Man: An Inquiry into Power Politics and World Government
International Ideals and the National Interest
F all men were saints and all women angels, the Marxist ideal of the withering away of the state could doubtless be readily realized. All government is a reflection of sin, at least in its coercive and enforcement functions. Conscience keeps most mortals virtuous and assures conformity to the mores. But the weaker vessels among us are ever tempted to transgress and must be deterred from ways of vice through fear of force and prospect of punishmen…
The Political Theory of German Fascism
In dealing with the evolution of political thought, most historians and social scientists, until recently at least, have tended to view political behavior and the changing patterns of power in society as rational implementations of dynamic ideas. They have accordingly concerned themselves more with the development of abstract philosophical systems than with the social-psychological contexts conditioning this development. To other observers, more …
The Cold War: Retrospect and Prospect
The Council of Europe
The venerable city of Strasbourg has long been famed for its stately Cathedral, its University, its baroque palaces, the quaint houses of its medieval quarter known as La Petite France —and for its greatest single gift to European culture: the invention of printing by Johann Gutenberg five centuries ago. During the past year its people have proudly displayed a new edifice symbolizing what many regard as the greatest single step toward European un…
Bill of Attainder” in the Seventy-Eighth Congress
Among the numerous recent clashes between the Chief Executive and Congress, only one poses fundamental constitutional issues. This conflict has arisen from the efforts of Congress to drive three well-known liberals out of the federal service. On September 14, President Roosevelt submitted a special message to Congress, as forecast in his press conference of July 13, recording his view that the action in question was “not only unwise and discrimin…
Dictatorship in the Modern World
The Dilemma of the Peace-Seekers
Right without Might is weakness," wrote Blaise Pascal three centuries ago. But "Might without Right is tyranny. We must therefore combine Right and Might, making what is Right mighty and what is mighty Right." To achieve such a combination in the community of nations is, by common consent, the major problem of world politics in our time. Outside of the dwindling ranks of the anarchists, few would any longer dispute the propositions that peace amo…

American Foreign Policy
Foreign policy is determined and controlled by the interplay of political forces within the state and by the traditionalized behavior patterns which have developed out of past contacts between the state and other states. The Monroe Doctrine, the policy of isolation from Europe, and the principle of the open door in China represent such traditionalized behavior patterns in American foreign policy. While the exigencies of a changing world, plunged …

of the Reich constitute the most populous, the most highly organized, the most ingenious and productive, and therefore the most potentially formidable of the Western powers. The control of Germany by a political movement committed since its inception to destroying the peace settlement of 1919, and the almost unanimous enthusiasm which the supernationalistic propaganda of this movement has evoked in the Reich, have produced world-wide alarm and de…
