    Boffy is al enkele maanden hoofdstukken uit Das Kapital aan het bespreken op zijn blog. " I will be attempting to simply summarise what he says, and where appropriate to try to clarify what is being said. Obviously, that means that this is my interpretation of what he is saying, which is again, why you should read his original text alongside my summary of it." Nu is hij Deel 1 aan het afronden. Ik dacht dat het handig kon zijn vanwege de historische context die hij soms voorziet.

    Laat me weten hoe het met die eventuele uitbreiding gaat. Als jullie opnieuw beginnen wil ik gerust meedoen met Het Kapitaal. Gebeurt dat via internet of zitten jullie bijtijds ook samen?

    Hoe staat het met je lezersgroepje? Ik heb de helft van Lenin Rediscovered uit. (Het blijft echt boeien, waar haalt iemand dat talent vandaan?) Maar het boek ligt al een tijdje aan de kant. (Ik las onlangs stukken uit: Morus over Utopia, Kautsky over Morus, Bebel over Fourier, de Anti-Dühring, ... allemaal om eens in te leiden over het utopische socialisme.) Nu ik Men's feminism ga lezen (eindelijk!), zal het nog even zo blijven.

    De waarde van het boek zit hem in de hoeveelheid documenten en het feit dat een aantal obscure onder hen nu eindelijk toegankelijk zijn. De introducties zijn niet slecht, maar getuigen soms van standaard historiografie: Trotski die zowat de meest brilliante exponent van de Permanente Revolutie zou geweest zijn, Lenin die in 1917 Trotskis standpunt overneemt, Kautsky die ironisch genoeg volledig zijn kar keert, enzovoort. Om van te braken. (Niet dat ik ze per se ongelijk geef, maar waarom schrijven al die socialisten of sympathisanten van de klassieke, kleinlinkse historiografie altijd in dezelfde termen?)

    Mocht je interesse hebben, op Bol staat Witnesses to Permanent Revolution tegen 31 euro! (Het boek verzamelt documenten over het internationale debat - met werken van Kautsky, Parvus, Mehring, Trotski, Luxemburg, ... - dat, wat Trotskistische geschiedschrijving betreft, uitmondde in Trotskis theorie van de Permanente Revolutie.) Elders betaal je er meestal dik 100 tot 200 euro voor. Ik heb hem zonet ontvangen. Het boek is van hetzelfde type en even dik als Lenin Resdiscovered. Maar mocht je erover twijfelen, desnoods kan ik altijd passages toesturen.

    Nah, it really looks to be the case that the CPBG has an anti-feminist stance, and has even been publishing letters over the past couple weeks by masculists. Perhaps you should address these supposedly "misrepresented political positions" in public rather than cowardly sending negative reputation messages.

    Thanks for the negrep. So pointing out that you're all a bunch of hypocrites makes me a troll? rofl

    In response to your question in the Kautsky literati group:
    Humans have this inbuilt curiosity, that tells us to find out more. Combined with the will to live better, this will lead to inventions etc.
    I would expand more, but I'm in a rush

Today I went to a "Socialism Day", organised by Socialist Alternative, the Dutch branch of the Committee for a Workers' International. "Socialism" is a name regularly used by several CWI sections for open meetings that feature discussion, mostly introduced by CWI members.

The observant reader might note that I also went to a meeting organised by the SP branch in Breda recently with the same name. There is a simple reason for this: Once upon a time, back in the...

Below is a translation of my introduction to the SP discussion meeting. I'm making a new post because it was too long for a comment.

The SP and the demand for the republic

Republican discussion: A non-discussion

There is no republican tradition anymore in the Netherlands. The most advanced that we now seem to have is the New Republican Society. I’ll quote from their website what they’re all about:

So, today was a so called "Socialism Day", organised by the SP branch in Breda for the 13th time as an annual event. The theme this year was "the SP and the monarchy" which had two discussions and a third discussion which was about the running party discussion on "democratisation of the economy" (see my blog here). This year's event had some 20 people, which is not bad for a branch meeting, although about half of the people were not from the branch or even the SP....

Original post here.

When I became politically active in early 2003 I was a loyal Dutch SP follower.

The SP is a left-wing parliamentarian formation that started out as a Maoist grouplet in the 1960's but by 1991 formally renounced Marxism-Leninism and afterwards shifted rightwards towards coalitionism. Dutch politics consists of a complex parliamentary formation, given that our electoral system is fully proportionally representative where parliament has 150 seats and...

That pretty much sums up my feelings

Today there was another branch meeting from the SP about "democracy in the economy". There were ten proposals under discussion. These proposals were made by the "scientific bureau" of the party (for context: All Dutch parties have "scientific bureaus" as this makes them eligible for state funding)....
