The following articles argue for a class-struggle perspective, with two basic points: that all oppressions, class and non-class, should be fought against and that working class struggles are, in certain ways, central to an overall perspective. This is due to an analysis of class and non-class oppressions and the ways they interrelate, which produces a strategic and moral orientation. read full story / add a comment

Why do we call ourselves class struggle anarchists instead of feminist- antiracist-Gay liberationist-green-class struggle anarchists? What is the relationship among class and nonclass forms of oppression, such as gender and race? Instead of the base/superstructure metaphor, we should have a model of an overlapping network of oppressions, of which class is at the center. This leads to strategic conclusions.

A leading U.S. Maoist writes a critical attack on anarchism. This essay summarizes his argument and refutes his charges. It demonstrates that Maoism is essentially a program of state capitalism. read full story / add a comment

A basic problem with Marxism, which has led to authoritarian practices, is its centralism. Even in its most democratic forms, Marxism has been centralist. By contrast anarchist decentralism has been one of anarchism's strong points. read full story / add a comment

A collection of scattered thoughts about anarchism, anthropology, and academic studies is reviewed. David Graeber argues against the need for a revolutionary confrontation with the state or its eventual overthrow. Instead, he favors a gradualist approach which leaves the state alone.

Pacifisten geloven dat een betere wereld kan worden gewonnen zonder enig gebruik van geweld door het volk. Terwijl geweldloze methodes nuttig kunnen zijn werken ze niet altijd. Sommige conflicten moeten worden uitgevochten. Revoluties kunnen geweld bevatten. Wij anarchisten willen een wereld zonder oorlog of enige soort van geweld. Maar om die te krijgen zal er een sociale revolutie moeten zijn om de maatschappij volledig te veranderen, de heersende klasse en diens staat omver te werpen. We zullen proberen revolutionair geweld tot een minimum te beperken, maar de gemene, brutale, aard van de kapitalistische klasse zal tenminste de dreiging van massaal geweld vereisen. read full story / add a comment

Pacifists believe that a better world can be won without any use of popular violence. While nonviolent methods can be useful, they do not always work. Some conflicts have to be fought through. Revolutions may have to include violence. [Română] read full story / add a comment

¿Qué debieran hacer los anarquistas revolucionarios cuando algún gobierno electo es derrocado por un golpe de derechas? Pienso, por ejemplo, en el golpe del 2002 en Venezuela en contra del presidente Hugo Chávez. Este golpe fue realizado por parte del Ejército en conjunto con la mayoría de los capitalistas. Fue apoyado por el gobierno de los EEUU y por otras instituciones de ese país. Parte del apoyo norteamericano fue abierto (reconocimiento inmediato del nuevo régimen) y parte fue en secreto (financiamiento previo de los golpistas) Sin embargo, el golpe fue rápidamente derrotado gracias a múltiples factores: la presión de los trabajadores y pobres de Venezuela, el apoyo a Chávez de los mandos bajos del Ejército y la presión internacional de otros gobiernos sudamericanos. Chávez fue ayudado por el hecho de que muchos gobiernos y empresarios saben que no es en realidad anti-capitalista, a pesar de su retórica radical. read full story / add a comment

Come dovrebbero regolarsi gli anarchici rivoluzionari in caso di un golpe di destra che rovesci un governo eletto? Oggi come oggi, è letteralmente una questione di vita o di morte per gli anarchici rivoluzionari trovare le modalità per partecipare alle lotte popolari, restando fermi sui nostri principi e dicendo la verità ai lavoratori. read full story / add a comment

What should anarchists do when an elected government is overturned by a right-wing coup, as happened in Venezuela or Nepal? It is typical of capitalism that its gains of political democracy are shaky at best. Countries go through cycles of democracy and dictatorship and back again read full story / add a comment

Holloway is right in saying that the oppressed should not build a new state, but wrong in denying that the workers should use revolutionary power to get rid of the old state and the capitalist system. We need a stateless federation of communes and councils. read full story / add a comment

The most important reason for studying the nature of the Soviet Union and similar states is the light it sheds on what we mean by anti-capitalism and socialism. . Whether we regard these states as socialist determines what we think is the alternative to capitalism. There are a great many radicals who are attracted to the model of the old Soviet Union or of Maoist China, who are impressed by Cuba today or by the Nepalese Maoists. Conversely, the establishments of Western capitalism have been glad to agree that the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, etc. are/were “socialist” and “communist.” They say, capitalism may have faults, but this is the only “anti-capitalist” alternative which ever was or ever could be.
These three essays published on Anarkismo over the last three months by Wayne Price look at the true nature of these states. read full story / add a comment

The Soviet Union and similar states are analyzed as State Capitalist. These states had commodity production, the exploitation of the workers, and internal competition. It is not enough to collectivize property; it is necessary to abolish the capital-labor relationship. The program of state socialism invariably produces state capitalism in practice. read full story / add a comment

This part goes over the theories that Communist Party-ruled societies are neither pro-socialist nor capitalist but are a new kind of class society. These theories are correct in believing that the collective bureaucracy is a new ruling class but wrong in denying that these societies are a variety of capitalism. They raised questions about the nature of Fascism. Such theories bring out the need for participatory democracy and workers’ self-management.

If anti-capitalists want an alternative to capitalism, we need to examine the nature of countries of the type of the Soviet Union. There are three groups of theories about them. One is the idea that these societies are socialist or “workers’ states.” This will be compared with the original libertarian goals of classless socialism. This is the first of a 3 part series. read full story / add a comment

Pro-organizational, class struggle, anarchism (including Platformism) advocates radically-democratic federations built on a revolutionary program. This is counterposed to anti-organizationalist anarchism and to the Leninist program of the centralized, monolithic, "vanguard" party. read full story / add a comment |
