Papers on LC
I had today a first reading of the three papers on LC.
Being somebody who does some activity for the party not renouncing to his personal judgement, I feel a big sense of disconfort for the harsh critics to the movement.
I often complain with my companions about their attitude to act in apparent isolation with respect to other national and international left movements. I would advocate on their part a greater opennes.
But I do see a similar attitude on your part.
How could the workers of the world unite themselves if the parties that represent them do not try to overcome the distinctions among themselves?
After all the main idea about marxism is still the social control of the goods production as opposed to the control by capital.
What is not new but more and more relevant is the consciousness of the fact that such a process is only possible if it happens worlwide.
I have the feeling the everyone who believes in this goal should find a way of unifying their struggles.
All other distinctions on the way to achieve this results should be minor ones.
After all nobody knows how the future will really develop so it appears to me meaningless to make distinctions based on historical evalutions, tactics, strategy and so on
No groups of the communist
No groups of the communist movement today are parties in any meaningful sense of the term. Nor do these organizations, or parties if and when they form, "represent" the working class.
Lotta Comunista
Welcome to the forum paolo.
We certainly don't disagree that the political organisations of the proletariat - even when they make the mistake of referring to themselves as parties, like most of the Bordigist groups - need to have fraternal relations, debate their differences in a constructive manner, and as far as possible work together. Our problem with the Lotta Comunista current is that we are not convinced that it is part of the proletarian, internationalist movement, since as the article argues so many of its poistions are hard to distinguish from those of the left wing of capital (Trotskyists etc).
However, we are very willing to hear you out in putting your case against this approach.
