    I was thinking about your remarks re. Marx's understanding of the party not being institutional but rather primordial("primordial" in the biological sense?). That might be true for the young Marx before his IWMA experience but probably not so much for the late Marx. This famous piece was written in 1872, for example, I know both of us are fond of quoting it. When the anti-party crowd isn't ignoring it, they usually like to claim that by "political party" Marx did not actually mean "political party" in the institutional sense. But that hardly seems true to me, if at all.

    He is back, I think, I saw him make a few posts, but I made the avatars myself. I explained in the thread in the OM group.
  3. Seeing as how I'm considered nothing but a 'DNZite' I figured I'd adopt the term more fully

    Hi, sorry for taking so long to get back to you.



    Over time the contradictions of left-wing orthodoxy became too much for me. Everywhere the various far-left parties will insist in their esoteric theory documents that the state is the enemy of the working class and the instrument of the capitalists, yet will almost invariably proceed to adopt the most fiercely statist positions in their agitation.


    Their solution to almost every problem is to call on the state to act. At every stage they further working class dependence on the capitalist state. That's what I'm getting at when I talk about grassroots help groups, I'm talking about the working class becoming an active participant, not political beggars, about organising the class to deal with its own problems.
  7. It is from chapter 6 of 'The Road to Power" comrade.

    "What is today the just continuation of Lassalle’s work? Not clinging to Lassalle’s political programme, but rather recognising the new great tasks of the contemporary situation and boldly tackling them at the right moment." - RL

    Lassaleanism is not something to strive for.

    Luxemburg's quote is quite right, actually. There is no middle ground there as you suggest.

    Yeah sorry, I didn't mean any offence to anyone, I had just found out about El Commandante's passing and, whilst you know I didn't really agree with his politics, he was still 'one of ours' and it's just incredibly sad that he's passed at a young age in such a painful way

"A new centrist project does not have to repeat these mistakes. Nobody in this topic is advocating a carbon copy of the Second International (which again was only partly centrist)." (Tjis, class-struggle anarchist)

"A centrist strategy is based on patience, and building a movement or party or party-movement through deploying various instruments, which I think should include: workplace organising, housing struggles [...] and social services [...] and a range of other activities such as sports and culture. These are recruitment and retention tools that allow for a platform for political education." (Tim Cornelis, left-communist)
