The Original Model of American Democracy and the Turn to Statism
There is no doubt the US has evolved into a statist system vastly different from its point of departure. Yet the proposition that the original American model was somehow replaced or subverted by its French counterpart seems historically false and theoretically misleading. Briefly and schematically, by the French or Jacobin model I understand a centralized, unitary state which on principle brooks no regional diversity, opposes subsystem autonomy, …

Left Vigilance in France
The “appeal to vigilance” against the resurgence of the far Right, launched by forty Left intellectuals last summer, generated one of the most bizarre ideological controversies France has witnessed since the threshold year of 1981, when the Left joyously came to power pledging to “change life.” Coming four months after the Left's worst electoral debacle in recent memory, the Appeal may mark the end of a political era and signal the final demise o…

Or Bust
La grande illusion became a best-seller in France the moment it came off the press. Its author, Alain Mine, became a celebrity overnight, appearing on such influential talk shows as “Apostrophes,” and being featured in journals like Le Monde and Le nouvel observateur, on the Left, and éléments, on the Right. Why should this polemic against “the myth of 1992” have caused such a stir? Why should Mine, me so-called europessimiste, have become a poin…
Norberto Bobbio at 80
On October 18, 1989 Norberto Bobbio celebrated his eightieth birthday, a milestone marked by extensive discussions regarding his life, his intellectual contributions in general, and particularly his celebrated reflections on the themes of socialism and democracy. Longevity is obviously not the sole factor making Bobbio so unique, though few scholars have remained productive for more than five decades (his first publications date back to 1934 and …
Telos, 1968 And Now
May 1968 serves as a benchmark for those who would nostalgically like to identify that one moment of the 1960s which qualitatively marked a break with the past. In Europe — France and Italy, in particular — one can immediately recall the songs and slogans. Even those on the other side of the barricades have chosen to remember the most positive, emancipatory impulses of this temps de vivre, while regretting the disruptions and personal inconvenien…
Thalheimer, Bonapartism and Fascism
It is not at all surprising that August Thalheimer's 1930 essay on fascism should have been so enthusiastically rediscovered, reprinted and widely discussed in left-wing European circles during the 1960's. Informed debate on fascism had reached a major theoretical impasse: factually, more was known than ever before, or, at any rate, enough to dismiss as "empirically inadequate" virtually all of the better known traditional interpretations; yet, c…

Factory Councils, Gramsci and the Industrialists
Gramsci's conception of factory councils was idealist in the best and worst sense. In the best sense, councils were postulated as transcendent bodies, requisite emancipatory agencies through which workers could autonomously generate their own distinctive productive and political life-world. Explicit in this conception was a penetrating, if yet incomplete, critique of the existing capitalist configuration (including the mode of production, the Sta…
