recommencing the revolution sunday 20th october 2013 1 30pm posted by benjamin 3 in october the fantin reading group will turn its attention to the next in a series of essays from the pen of cornelius castoriadis tacking his 1964 article recommencing the revolution originally published in issue 35 of socialisme ou barbarie the article is both theoretically and historically important in it castoriadis announces his formal break with the philosophy of marxism arguing that if the socialist revolutionary project has stalled it is due both to the various aporia that exist within orthodox marxism and the fact that marxism has itself become an orthodoxy thus if the revolution is to recommence it must start with a critique of marxian theory in recommencing the revolution castoradis begins this critique which he will continue in next month s reading marxism and revolutionary theory recommencing the revolution is also significant in that it provoked a split that ultimately lead to the break up and demise of the socialism or barbarie group between castoriadis who felt the revolution could only be progressed by radicalising the project of critical interrogation even if it meant as he believed it did going beyond marx and those committed to defending the continuing validity of marx s theoretical legacy the a photocopy of the text can be downloaded here castoriadis reader ch4

marxism with lessons drawn from studies in phenomenology german idealist and romantic philosophy and the emergence of democracy in ancient greece castoriadis developed a highly distinctive theory of

that mac is also available for hire for film documentary screenings and other causes posted in uncategorized aug 30 black flame chapter viii posted by redblackconal 0 the broad anarchist tradition has consistently stressed the significance of ideas for the libertarian and socialist reconstruction of society as well as the need for a fundamental transvaluation of values and the removal of the authority principle from the hearts and minds of the popular classes even the insurrectionist anarchists for example saw armed action as important primarily for its educative function the same concern with the centrality of ideas is seen in the mass anarchist strand the promotion of revolutionary countercultures bakunins emphasis on anarchism as a new faith malatestas stress on the revolutionary imagination the intellectual work of figures like reclus foster s idea of a militant minority and so on the issue that arises however is how best to spread the new faith and it is here that we encounter a wide range of different tactical positions on a crucial question is it necessary for the militant minority of anarchists or syndicalists to form themselves into a specifically anarchist or syndicalist political organisation in order to promote their ideas and pursue their strategies if so how should such a group be organised there are a number of key positions there is an antiorganisationalist one which argues for an informal network of revolutionaries there is the view of some syndicalists that a revolutionary union can undertake all the tasks of an anarchist or syndicalist political organisation making such an organisation redundant finally there is organisational dualism which is the stance that there must be a specific and distinct anarchist organisation that would promote anarchist or syndicalist ideas download chapter 8 here posted in uncategorized apr 22 chapter vii posted by redblackconal 0 in this chapter and the one that follows we will shift our analysis toward an examination of anarchist tactics asking what were the different positions adopted in pursuit of long term anarchist strategies this chapter will explore two main sets of tactical issues the first deals with the tactical issues posed by the activities of the state machinery and how the movement responded to questions of warfare labour law and state welfare systems how can the military operations of the state be opposed should anarchists and syndicalists participate in statutory industrial relations systems should anarchists and syndicalists support state welfare systems chapter vii posted in uncategorized apr 04 black flame chapter vi ideas structure and armed action unions politics and the revolution posted by redblackconal 0 both insurrectionist and mass anarchism are faced with a series of difficult challenges in this chapter we explore syndicalism in more depth addressing ourselves to several critical issues how can a syndicalist union avoid evolving into orthodox unionism which focuses solely on immediate issues and typically develops large and moderate bureaucracies if anarchism is about the emancipation of the popular classes as a whole how can syndicalism address the needs of those sectors of the working class and peasantry that are outside wage labour finally assuming a revolutionary general strike takes place can syndicalism effectively deal with the threat of armed counterrevolution chapter vi posted in uncategorized mar 13 post navigation older posts francesco fantin francesco fantin was 41 years old when he was murdered at the hands of fascists at the loveday internment camp on 16 november 1942 he had emigrated to australia in 1924 along with his brothers and immediately launched himself into organising he remained an anarchist labour organiser and ardent antifascist throughout his life this reading group aims to assess both classic and contemporary anarchist texts encouraging the reader to come to their own conclusions through collective discussion and in doing so honour the memory of francesco fantin meetings are held the melbourne anarchist club 62 st georges road northcote see the mac
