A CLEVER HISTORICAL FANTASIA inspired by the brief time Trotsky and his family spent in New York has a distinctively Nabokovian flair in its juggling of fact and fiction. You’re likely to find it either delightful or infuriating. B PLUS

Today in Labor History May 3, 1937: The May Days began in Catalonia. This was a counterrevolution by the Spanish Republican government against radical workers and anarchists. Prior to this, the communists, socialists and anarchists had been allied against Franco’s nationalists. However, anarchist workers and their militias controlled most industries, which they had collectivized, while the communists controlled the central government and finances. As a result, this brought the various groups into conflict. To make matters worse, the Communist Party of Spain was taking orders from Moscow. And they wanted to separate the two struggles: revolution against the ruling class versus war against the nationalists. In contrast, the POUM and the anarchists saw the two struggles as one and the same. The anarchist faction included the Friends of Durruti Group and the CNT (a confederation of anarcho-syndicalist labor unions).

The socialism we propose is radically different from the models that dominated the last century or from any statist or dictatorial regime: it is a revolutionary project, radically democratic, to which feminist, ecological, anti-racist, anti-colonialist, antimilitarist and LGBTQI+ struggles contribute.
Everyone could have a good life on Earth, but capitalism is an exploitative, macho, racist, warlike, authoritarian and deadly mode of predation. In two centuries, it has led humanity into a deep ecosocial impasse. Productivism is destructivism. The overexploitation of natural resources, rampant extractivism, the pursuit of maximum short-term yields, deforestation and land-use change are leading to a collapse of biodiversity, that is, of life itself.

Today In Labor History April 9, 1918: Members of the anarchist Black Guards confiscated the car of the American ambassador to Russia in Moscow, demanding the release of prisoners in the US. The Black Guards were armed groups of workers that formed after the February Revolution. They were the main military wing of the anarchists. The first Black Guards were created in Ukraine by Maria Nikiforova (Marusia), an anarchist terrorist from the age of 16, who eventually became Deputy leader of the Oleksandrivsk Revolutionary committee. She created the Black Guards to force land reform and redistribution. Similar cells were later created by Nestor Makhno, and she later participated in the anarchist free state of Makhnovia. The last Black Guards were quashed by the Cheka, under orders from Trotsky, on April 11-12, 1918.

#Leon_Trotsky was highly critical of the #Stalinist_USSR for suppressing #Democracy and the lack of adequate coherent #EconomicPlanning. :skp904:

In Results and Prospects, written in 1906, #Trotsky outlines his theory in detail, arguing: "History does not repeat itself. However much one may compare the #RussianRevolution with the Great French Revolution, the former can never be transformed into a repetition of the latter."
In the #FrenchRevolution of 1789, France experienced what Marxists called a "bourgeois-democratic revolution"—a regime was established wherein the bourgeoisie overthrew the existing French feudalistic system. The bourgeoisie then moved towards establishing a regime of #DemocraticParliamentaryInstitutions.

However, while democratic rights were extended to the bourgeoisie, they were not generally extended to a universal franchise. The freedom for workers to organize unions or to strike was not achieved without considerable struggle.

Trotsky argues that because a majority of the branches of industry in Russia originated under the direct influence of government measures—sometimes with the help of government subsidies—the capitalist class was again tied to the ruling elite. The capitalist class was subservient to European capital.

*** 21st century - What has changed is the capitalist class has divided, unequally, creating Hyper-Capitalism. Hyper-Capitalists (#Billionaires and #Trillionaires) influence elections (Mass Media and Campaign Fund Raising), so that the political class become subservient to them. In time, they become directively and publically involved in government. #HyperCaptitalists #HyperCapitalism

Stalin e Trockij, due capi erano troppi
🛑 Una cancellazione brutale 👇https://wp.me/pey833-6NU

La cancel culture non usa solo le forbici e l'oblio. A volte, quando niente sembra bastare, può venire utile una picozza da ghiaccio. Leon Bronstein, detto Trotsky era troppo ingombrante per la nuova Urss di Stalin e dovette sperimentarlo di persona.

If Americans were as obsessed with guillotines as they are with guns, their politics would look very different.

TIL Frida Kahlo had an affair with Trotsky while he was staying with her and Diego Rivera...

and around the same time, Andre Breton came to Mexico City, where they composed a manifesto for #art against fascism, capitalism, and Stalinism : marxists.org/subject/art/lit_c

(and neither Frida nor Trotsky signed it; it's attributed to Trotsky and Breton, but it was Rivera and Breton whose names are on it)

and it's a glorious document that Breton took back to Europe to open chapters of the International Federation of Independent Revolutionary Art <en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest>

but it didn't last very long.

In the spirit of continuous revolution, is it time for the Next International Federation of Independent Revolutionary Art ?
