The Emma Goldman Papers (DL SunSITE) - 1 views

  •  
    "Emma Goldman (1869-1940) stands as a major figure in the history of American radicalism and feminism. An influential and well-known anarchist of her day, Goldman was an early advocate of free speech, birth control, women's equality and independence, and union organization." What a woman.

A História das FARC - Forças Armadas Revolucionárias da Colômbia - 1 views

  •  
    A guerrilha da Colômbia não é a única guerrilha ainda existente na América Latina. Além dela há a guerrilha zapatista no México e a do Sendero Luminoso no Peru. Mas as FARC é com certeza a mais polêmica. Até o presidente venezuelano Hugo Chávez, considerado por muitos um radical, disse que a guerrilha das FARC perdeu sua razão de ser, ou seja, não há mais lugar para esse tipo de luta. Mas alguns argumentam que os guerrilheiros apenas se defendem do terrorismo de Estado do governo Liberal-fascista colombiano, pois no passado as FARC formavam um partido político que foi dizimado pelos conservadores. O fato é que essa guerra civil continua fazendo centenas de vítimas, todos os anos, em nosso país vizinho. Qual a sua opinião sobre este conflito? Para enriquecer o debate reproduzo artigo da Revista Marxista Mouro e alguns vídeos sobre o assunto.

Herbert Aptheker's Distortions by C.L.R. James 1949 - 2 views

      CLR James in 1949 acknowledges that Aptheker was a toll of Stalinism and there are many flaws in his African American History.  
  • “It was the development of increased agitation on the part of non-slaveholding whites prior to the Civil War for the realization of the American creed that played a major part in provoking the desperation that led the slaveholders to take up arms.” (p.41) Upon the flimsiest scraps of evidence, the theory is elaborated that it was the withholding of democracy from non-slaveholding whites that pushed the South to the Civil War. “In terms of practice, as concerns the mass of the white people of the South, this anti-democratic philosophy was everywhere implemented. The property qualifications for voting and office-holding, the weighing of the legislature to favor slaveholding against non-slaveholding counties, the inequitable taxation system falling most heavily on mechanics’ tools and least heavily on slaves, the whole system of economic, social and educational preferment for the possessors of slaves, and the organized, energetic, and partially successful struggles carried on against this system by the non-slaveholding whites form – outside of the response of the Negroes to enslavement – the actual content of the South’s internal history for the generation preceding the Civil War.”
  • Stalinist Sleight of Hand Stalinism tries to manipulate history as a sleight-of-hand man manipulates cards. But unlike the conjurer, a stern logic pushes Stalinism in an ever more reactionary direction. For five years Aptheker covered up his anti-Negro concepts with constant broad statements about the “decisive character” of slave insurrections, Negro agitators etc. in the Civil War and the period preceding it. In 1946, however, in The Negro People in America, Aptheker broke new ground. He put forward a new theory that at one stroke made a wreck of all that he had said before. Let his own words speak:

  • t is clear that only at the last minute Aptheker remembered the slaves and threw in the phrase about their “response.” Historically this is a crime. The non-slaveholding whites who supposedly pushed the South into the Civil War were not in any way democrats. They were small planters and city people who formed a rebellious but reactionary social force, hostile to the big planters, the slaves and the democratically minded farmers in the non-plantation regions. What particular purpose this new development is to serve does not concern us here. What is important, however, is its logical identity with the hostility to Negro radicalism and independent Negro politics which has appeared in Aptheker’s work from the very beginning to this climax-pushing the Negroes aside for the sake of non slaveholding whites in the South. However fair may be the outside of Stalinist history and politics, however skillful may be the means by which its internal corruption is disguised, inevitably its real significance appears. There is no excuse today for those who allow themselves to be deceived by it. For all interested in this sphere, it is a common duty, whatever differences may exist between us, to see to it that the whole Stalinist fakery on Negro history be thoroughly exposed for what it really is.
