Friedrich Engels and the Strategy of “Siege Warfare”
In a March 1887 letter to Hermann Schluter, a prominent member of the German-speaking socialist movement in the United States, Friedrich Engels argued that the appropriate strategy for the German social democracy of the time was “a form of siege warfare.” In doing so he anticipated Karl Kautsky’s “strategy of attrition” and Antonio Gramsci’s “war of position” in the application of the specific metaphor of siege warfare to revolutionary strategy. …
Rosa Luxemburg and the Mass Strike
Antonio Gramsci’s critical evaluation of Rosa Luxemburg, specifically her theory of the mass strike, found in his Prison Notebooks is an important element in his discussion of hegemony and revoluti
The Dialectic of Position and Maneuver

As we observe the centennials of the First World War and the October Revolution, we are reminded of the role played by violence in the political and cultural changes occurring during and between th
The Dialectic of Position and Maneuver
In The Dialectic of Position and Maneuver, Daniel Egan examines the role that the military metaphors of war of position and war of maneuver play in Antonio Gramsci's social theory. The foundation for this analysis is the different ways in which Marxists have understood war and military strategy since the mid-nineteenth century. In doing so, Egan argues that the distinction between war of position and war of maneuver which is so central to Gramsci…
Insurrection and Gramsci's “War of Position”
One of the most important features of Gramsci's social theory was his analysis of the distinction between war of maneuver and war of position. In the context of a relatively underdeveloped civil so
The Awakening of Latin America
In his eulogy of Che Guevara given at the Plaza de La Revolucion in October 1967, Fidel Castro referred to Che as an ‘artist’ of revolution. As this collection of Che's writings on Latin America su
Rethinking War of Maneuver/War of Position
One of the most important components of Antonio Gramsci's social theory is his discussion of political strategy, particularly his distinction between 'war of maneuver' and 'war of position'. For Gramsci, the classical model of revolution through military insurrection (war of maneuver) has been supplanted within advanced capitalism by a cultural struggle of much longer duration and complexity (war of position). Despite the significance of Gramsci'…

Planning the Transition to Capitalism
Globalization and the Invasion of Iraq
A number of critical theorists of capitalist globalization argue that the power of capital is based on a consensus for global neoliberalism generated by a transnational bloc of capitalists, state officials, and intellectuals. I argue in this paper that these theorists minimize the role that coercive state power has played in supporting capital accumulation, and, as a result, they underestimate the continued significance of the nation-state in cap…

Bureaucracy and Radical Politics
New Left Organizational Theory contains a powerful critique of bureaucracy, and in its place offers a model of collectivist organization. This rejection of bureaucracy, however, is inadequate for understanding left political strategy in the advanced capitalist state. The experience of the radical Greater London Council during the early 1980s suggests a more dialectical critique of bureaucracy, one that recognizes structural opportunities for the …
Who Put the ‘Welfare’ in ‘Corporate Welfare’? Race, Gender, and the Critique of Business Subsidies
Political forces on both the left and right have, with increasing frequency, defined public subsidies for business as ‘corporate welfare.’ While the concept has its origins in the New Left, it was discovered by the political mainstream only in the 1990s. As a result, the dominant definitions of the problem presented in political debate have been those associated with conservatives. The power of ‘corporate welfare’ as a symbol in mainstream politi…
Diminished Democracy
The Undeserving Rich
Cet article adresse une critique a la facon dont les medias interpretent les aides accordees aux entreprises aux Etats-Unis. Souscrivant a l'hegemonie des lois du marche, cette approche mediatique aboutit a une lecture inversee de l'aide publique : celle-ci se trouve discreditee tandis que l'entreprise capitaliste est presentee comme principal pourvoyeur de la redistribution des richesses. L'enjeu pour la gauche liberale consiste en une redefinit…

The Limits of Internationalization
The OECD's attempt to create a Multilateral Agreement on Investment provides a useful case study with which to examine the process of the internationalization of the state. Transnational historical materialism sees the development of supranational institutions such as the failed MAI as part of the neoliberal strategy of an emerging transnational capitalist class. However, in defining internationalization in terms of the national state becoming a …

The Makewhole Remedy in California Agriculture
The 1975 California Agricultural Labor Relations Act empowers the board that administers it, the ALRB, to impose a makewhole remedy on employers who fail to bargain in good faith with their employees' certified union representative. ALRB and court rulings during the first years of the Act made the determination of whether makewhole was appropriate, as well as the calculation of the award, increasingly complicated. The authors argue that these pro…
