    In the CWI it's common to claim that opposition parties can also enact land reform. That's through exposure of the ruling class and the mobilization of peasants.

    I thought your new username said DMZ at first.
    I used to think that Jacob Richter was your real name, then I found out that Jacob Richter was one of Lenin's pseudonyms

    I am not completely sure since I haven't read the texts in question but I guess I know why the Trots denounce it: co-determination is "Mitbestimmung" in German, which in this context reminds of the "Mitbestimmungsgesetz" (co-determination law): Representatives of the workers and of the trade unions take part in the "Aufsichtsrat" (supervisory board) of big companies in order to supervise the management and make decisions together with the capitalists. Usually it's fifty-fifty, so if the Aufsichtsrat contains 12 members it's 6 employee representatives and 6 shareholder representatives.

    The idea behind it is the so-called "Demokratisierung der Arbeitswelt" (literally: "democratisation of the working world" = "industrial democracy"), that the employees of a big company should have a say in important decisions and the general management. The problem is that the salaries of the "Aufsichtsrat" members are... quite impressive so that the representatives of the workers tend to forget who they represent, become part of the labour aristocracy and betray workers interests for "the sake of the company" = keeping their positions in the "Aufsichtsrat" and thus there salaries by coming to agreements with the capitalists.

    I hope this helps and contains the info you needed, if I missed your point or you want to know more, doN't hesitate to ask.

    I can't believe you thanked Éirígí's pathetic rant about the SWP. The idea that there is a "serious left" in Britain which excludes the SWP is a laughable travesty of assessment and, itself, is proof of his "low political level".

    REVOLUTIONARY MARXISM:

    (1) SURMOUNTS REDUCTIONISM, revisionism, and sectarianism; (2) Has, as its minimum goal, the revolutionary MERGER OF MARXISM AND THE WORKER-CLASS MOVEMENT; and (3) Has, as its revolutionary goal, the social-abolitionist rule of the working class - SOCIAL PROLETOCRACY!

    "You have to be a KAUTSKYAN on the question of organizing in "Educate, Agitate, Organize!" as opposed to "Agitate, Agitate, Agitate!" to get to the point of having a mass workers' party which can possibly pose the question of power." (Mike Macnair)

Previous blog: http://www.revleft.com/vb/blog.php?b=6667

Sometimes blogs can be more conducive to agitation than education. The previous blog was educative, and part of a broader programmatic framework. This one, posted elsewhere online as a blog comment or a letter, aims to be agitative.

Demands, State Power, Political Struggle, and Economic Illusions

“At the heart of the problem was the Left's often uncritical embrace of one of the most oppressive, disempowering and alienating institutions that most working-class people ever have the misfortune to interact with in their lives: the modern state. At some point, the Left dropped its former aim of encouraging the ‘self-emancipation’ of working people, and replaced it with an aim that to most people seems like its opposite:...

There's organizational fetishism, and then there's organizational focus. This may evoke a kind of secular evangelism on the subject, but without organizational focus, one will never see a revolutionary period for the working class.

Organizational focus demands a synthesis of the best elements each lesser "form" has to offer:

- Immediate trade unions were formed in opposition to craft unions, organizing active skilled and unskilled workers on the basis of...

The Merger Formula: Ideology on Why Real Parties are Real Movements and Vice Versa



The previous blog, Real Parties as Real Movements and Vice Versa, explained the institutional basis for the title. This unoriginal yet long-overdue blog provides the ideological basis.



"It is evident that the worker movement is divided into two sections, the Chartists and the Socialists. The Chartists are the more backward, the less developed, but...

Real Parties as Real Movements and Vice Versa: Alternative Culture and Bureaucracy Revisited

"Social Democracy is the party of the militant proletariat; it seeks to enlighten it, to educate it, to organise it, to expand its political and economic power by every available means, to conquer every position that can possibly be conquered, and thus to provide it with the strength and maturity that will finally enable it to conquer political power and to overthrow the rule of the bourgeoisie."...
