The weakest link in the chain? Some comments on the Marxist theory of action
From a sociological viewpoint, the most crucial aspect of the problem is the conceptual link between system integration and social integration; and in Marxism there is only one such link that is at all well forged. Marx’s view of the capitalist class is epitomized by his description of the ‘rational miser’ whose ‘subjective aim’ and ‘sole motive’ is the ‘restless, never-ending process of profit making alone’. Marx’s rational miser is thus not the…

Was the Bombay Plan a Capitalist Plot
In 1944, a group of Indian businessmen issued A Plan of Economic Development for India. This came to be known as the Bombay Plan. The attitude of Indian industrialists to the economic structure of independent India was encapsulated in the Plan. The views of the bourgeoisie were, by this stage, closely aligned with those of the Indian National Congress. The Plan therefore contained a strong endorsement of state economic intervention and planning. …

Rival Napoleons? Stalinism and Bonapartism
But there is another form of reaction ... called Bonapartism. Bonapartism is the necessary form of state in a country where the working class, at a high level of development in the towns but numerically inferior to the small peasants in rural areas, has been defeated in a great revolutionary struggle by the capitalist class, the petty bourgeoisie and the army
Staatsbürgerliche Integration und Klassenbildung
Der Aufsatz geht der Frage nach, ob es von Nutzen ist, die Problematik der Klassenanalyse umzukehren. Ausgehend von der Klassenstruktur fragt diese gewöhnlich danach, unter welchen Bedingungen soziopolitische Klassenbildung stattfindet und welche Auswirkungen dieser Prozess auf die soziale Kohäsion hat. Im Gegensatz dazu wird hier von der Annahme ausgegangen, dass die institutionelle Einheit von Staatsbürgerschaft, Markt und bürokratischen Verhäl…
Civic Integration and Social Cohesion
This essay attempts to clarify what might be meant by the term’ social cohesion’ — and its putative decline — in the context of recent changes in capitalist production relations, and with special reference to the UK during the period 1979—95.
The war‐making state and privatisation
States, created with the central purpose of defending national independence, resist the process of macro‐economic reform since it appears to limit their power to pursue this aim. The states of the former Centrally Planned Economies were marked out by their extreme subordination to the military drive, so the resistance to reshaping the ‘war‐making state’ into a ‘market‐facilitating state’ is considerable. The transition tends to be halted where th…

Civic Integration and Class Formation
The aim is to explore the usefulness of inverting the class analysis problematic, which starts from class structure and then asks under what conditions sociopolitical class formation occurs, and then how this in turn bears upon social cohesion. By contrast, the route followed here starts from the assumption that the institutional unity of citizenship, market and bureaucratic relations is central to social cohesion, and then concentrates on the qu…

Solidarity and Schism. 'The Problem of Disorder' in Durkheimian and Marxist Sociology
Class and Stratification
Moral Innovation
The most important of the assumptions entering into the foregoing argument is that, if a class such as Beta-plus cannot resolve its status incongruity through its incorporation into Alpha, then it will attempt to delegitimate the existing status hierarchy by promoting a counter value system. This assumption is vital to the explanation of declassification as moral polarization. In the literature on social stratification it seems to be fairly well …
The Problem of Disorder
This chapter will not attempt to summarize arguments that have been presented so far in the book. It is hoped that the conclusions of each particular line of argument have been stated clearly enough to make this task unnecessary. What might be useful, however, is a brief review of the basic thesis of the Durkheimian ‘problem of disorder’. This problem, which is also traceable in the work of the neo-Durkheimian school of normative functionalism, h…

Social Classification
If solidarity is the state of order characterized by the integration of the ends of actors through a common value system, then disorder is a state in which this moral consensus loses its regulatory power. Just as value consensus may be more usefully taken as a measure rather than a cause of order, so too value dissensus can be regarded as an index of the severity rather than a direct cause of conflict. This is not to say that certain types of val…
Rituals and Hyper-Rituals
Durkheim’s theory of solidarity presupposes that a ‘collective conscience’, or a system of shared values and beliefs, is a necessary condition of order. Most of his work is concerned with those institutions which he considered vital for the production of solidarity: religion, law, education, and the division of labour. The attention devoted to the collective conscience itself is by comparison negligible. While Durkheim was aware that consensus is…

Indoctrination
The foregoing survey of the three kinds of explanations entering into the theory of proletarian revolution shows that, while they comprise a very versatile set of arguments not easily capable of empirical disproof, all have the same basic flaw. This is to be found in the assumption that, through their powers of reason, workers will be quick to learn from their experience of capitalist production relations that their ends can only be realized by t…
The Theory of Action
On the face of it, it seems improbable that there is any such thing as the Marxist theory of action. Marxists have always laid claim to a uniquely privileged understanding of society through their possession of a body of theory which by its singular unity transcends the artificial specialism of the ‘bourgeois’ social sciences. But this claim is surely invalid and lacking in force. It is not simply that Marxism is now in such a state of epistemolo…
Hegemony
At first sight, Gramsci’s concept of hegemony might be seen as a sophisticated version of the indoctrination thesis. But this would be a mistake. While his formulation of it is fragmentary and often opaque, and has required much interpretation, the significance of this version of ideological domination lies chiefly in the extent to which it represents a departure from the basically utilitarian action schema of the theories of fetishism and indoct…
Fetishism
Compared with the dominant-ideology thesis, the theory of commodity fetishism identifies a much more specific obstacle to the development of revolutionary consciousness and gives even greater emphasis to the cognitive aspect of the socially stabilizing function of ideology. But, unlike the former, it does not entail any notion of ruling-class manipulation of proletarian consciousness; fetishism is purely a system effect, the product of capitalist…

Solidarity and Schism
This book presents a critical comparison and evaluation of the assumptions underlying explanations of social order and conflict which are to be found in the work of Durkheim and Marx, and of their most important followers. Its major theme is that, although the two bodies of theory rest on fundamentally opposed ideas of social structure and social action, both have to draw on auxiliary hypotheses which are to a high degree complementary - the resi…

The Affluent Worker and the Thesis of Embourgeoisement
Historically, interest in the affluent worker has centred on the presumed political consequences of rising living standards among the industrial labour force. In Britain in course of the 1950s, it was frequently argued that growing working-class prosperity was a major factor in Conservative election victories; affluence was held to be associated with a process of embourgeoisement, of which increased Conservative voting among manual workers was an…

The problem of the 'new working class' is located in the events of recent political history, specifically in the three successive electoral defeats of the Labour Party. In attempting to explain the failure of the traditional working class party to increase, or even retain, its support among the wage-earning population, a good many generalizations about the causes and consequences of secular changes in the class structure have been advanced and di…

On those two occasions -in 1958 and 1964-he had been set free, but then rearrested some months later because of his in…
