Duponts?

[Robespierres Neck]

Can anyone elaborate on Monseiur and Frere Dupont's philosophy? I've discovered these guys today, and they seem to have quite an obscure view on socialist revolution.


"In the end the band of brothers that is the historic-formal party is capable only of reproducing the received structuring of an apparently neutral ‘effectiveness’ in decision making – and by such means, enters competitively for its share in the marketplace of established interests. I would suggest, as an alternative to the leaderless leninism of those who would diverge partially from the party-form (substituting unions, federations, networks, fora and other forms) that another step is required, i.e. a disinvestment from formal structures of decision-making altogether. In place of structure there should be initiated attempts at de-structuring, this would take the form of negative interventions aimed at relaxing the hold within organisations of those determining factors which have thus far caused the proletariat to consistently decide wrongly."

They see revolution as only coming about through narrow self-interest. So, in other words, revolution can probably only come about through the complete systemic collapse of capital*. At which point it will be the job of "pro-revolutionaries" (ie anti-capitalists) to intervene in the struggle and make sure that capitalism/exploitation doesn't re-assert itself.

The used to be postal workers who became disillusioned with the UK anarchist/left-wing scene, from what I understand. Now they mainly troll the left. I might post more in this thread in a bit, but that's the basic view they have.

*they believe that this collapse will come about through capital's own contradictions and internal problems, not through any conscious effort on the part of "pro-revolutionaries".
