Audiobook

A substantive and highly informed critique of Stalin’s 1951 treatise ‘Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR’, and its theoretical rationalizations and justifications of the course taken by Soviet economic development; in particular taking to task Stalin’s claim that socialism has been realized, i.e. lower stage communism.

There are many choice quotes that can be extracted from the text - for example, the shallowness of smuggling in ‘state industrialism under the socialist banner’, and palming it off as if it represented a socialist advance; how Soviet industrialization represents a similar process of primitive accumulation (although I believe the German translates closer to ‘original accumulation’) as described by Marx in Capital; Bordiga even goes so far as to say that in much of the undeveloped world a certain glorification of the productive forces is ‘necessary.’

But what Bordiga is absolutely not prepared to accept is that this is socialist or a socialist process. He characterizes the Soviet economy as state capitalist.

Complete English audiobook of “Infantile Anti-Anti-Fascism,” published in Le Prolétaire No. 322 (1980), the French-language press of the International Communist Party. This Communist Left / left communist polemic attacks Holocaust denial and negationism in a leaflet issued with La Guerre Sociale and six other groups. Reaffirming the approach of “Auschwitz or the Great Alibi,” it argues that opposition to bourgeois anti-fascism requires exposing capitalism’s crimes without denying the Nazi extermination of the Jews, the gas chambers or the responsibility of their perpetrators.

The text defends historical materialism and independent proletarian class struggle against fascism, capitalist democracy and imperialism, while criticizing attempts within the revolutionary milieu to turn anti-anti-fascism into Holocaust revisionism.
