So on this understanding, Marx himself was incapable of giving a coherent Marxist analysis of reality?
"From the relationship of estranged labor to private property it follows further that the emancipation of society from private property, etc., from servitude, is expressed in the political form of the emancipation of the workers; not that their emancipation alone is at stake, but because the emancipation of the workers contains universal human emancipation – and it contains this because the whole of human servitude is involved in the relation of the worker to production, and all relations of servitude are but modifications and consequences of this relation."

"Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become." Arthur Schopenhauer
I did not know that I thought that they were a Leninist tendancy in the old cpgb that became increasingly influenced by theorists like Ticktin who is as vehemently anti-soviet as the SWP, Ticktin things Robert Conquest is slightly soft of Stalin.
Auto didact Brendan M Cooney is excellent.

I also like David Harvey, the Monthly Review guys, and think Michael Parenti offers the best social analysis out there.

I've taken to a liking of maoistrebelnews2's channel on youtube. He gives the facts without to much opinion, and interjects a communist opinion. Not necessarily a maoist one. Which I enjoy.
Please no.

Ticktin's theoretical influence amongst CPGB comrades is questionable. His influence didn't start until the aborted Campaign for a Marxist Party project:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campaig..._Marxist_Party
At that time, he didn't join the CPGB, but headed Critique: Journal of Socialist Theory. His unsurprising beef with the CPGB during the project was the latter's minimum program vs. his Trotskyist take on a "transitional program."
Today, AFAIK, he isn't a CPGB member.

"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)

If tendencies are allowed in this thread, I would recommend looking at http://www.ft-ci.org/ of the Fracción Trotskista, an international current that has sections in several Latin American countries.
Some of the material from the Fracción Trotskista is available in English at http://www.ft-ci.org/?lang=en
¡Buena suerte!

The defeat of the revolutionary movement was not, as Stalinists always complain, due to its lack of unity. It was defeated because the civil war within its ranks was not worked out with enough force. The crippling effects of the systematic confusion between hostis and enemy are self-evident, whether it be the tragedy of the Soviet Union or the groupuscular comedy.

I love Mr Dauve
I consider Endnotes and the TC crowd to be allies, but I really dislike the way they critique tiqqun.

Yeah. I'm a Maoist and that guy is annoying as hell.
Anyways, the only currently living Marxist ideologues who I am familiar with are Slavoj Zizek, David Harvey, and Brendan Cooney. I recommend all three and many more. It's good to read more than one person's views.
Either that, or he was probably a member of some organisation...

Yeah I agree. I'd list Tiqqun and the whole "Insurrectionary Communist" milieu if this thread was about personal inspirations but they can't be considered Marxists at all.

He asked only for the best not the greatest.No-one's mentioned Bob Avakian and his New Synthesis.
I really wish Chris Harman hadn't died 2 years ago.
But so much has happened in just the last few yearsAlways try looking for his stuff when you can. I'm sure he wrote about the capitalist crisis in it's beginning years before he passed.
I saw millions of people working.
Not for themselves but for someone else.
I saw millions of people doing.
Not what they themselves want to do.
But what someone else wants them to do.
