- The
Classless Society in Motion. A New Theory of Communist Economy
In 1930 the Group of International Communists laid out their vision for
a self-directed society of free and equal producers, echoing and
elaborating upon the scattered writings of Marx and Engels on the topic.
Building on the GIC’s outstanding and long overlooked work – ‘The
Fundamental Principles of Communist Production and Distribution’ – we
further develop their core ideas, introducing a number of new and
related principles. With these, we show how a society of free and equal
producers is a concrete possibility. What has long been dismissed as an
impossible dream, we reveal to be both simple and elegant.
Using the lens of Marx’s value theory, we analyse and critique the most
prominent existing attempts at describing a socialist economy. It will
be shown how a lack of understanding of Marx’s analysis of the value
form, coupled with a flawed idea of the nature of socialism/communism,
fundamentally undermines these projects.
The material basis of the egalitarian society we describe, emerges
organically from and in opposition to the existing capitalist relations
of production, abolishing private property, classes, money, markets,
exploitation, and the value-form in its wake. Established within an open
and transparent general system of accounting, it has no need for a caste
of bureaucratic planners or a party dictatorship.
Planning is a continuous and distributed process. Socialist theory must
come to terms with this reality. Planning is not reducible to arbitrary
time epochs, decided by administrative convenience. It must be a living,
organic, democratic and continuous process, answering only to its own
internal rhythms and the rational control of its participants.
We offer a return to a vision of a society based upon the abolition of
wage labour, a position fundamental to the Marxists and Anarchists of
the First International.
It is a socialism we can build today.
It is a socialism for a political project that does not yet exist.

exploitation, domination and mystification of the working class.
Introduction.
The enormous confusion about socialism and communism has various social
and historical roots. This article highlights the differences between
the conceptions of critical historical materialism developed notably by
Marx and Engels and those of later Bolshevism, which presented itself as
a faithful continuation of the original Marxism, but which on the
contrary introduced different and contrary theoretical conceptions, as
well as a praxis which from a certain moment, shortly after October
1917, in the following year, in very difficult conditions and
international isolation, led it to be a vector of capitalist
development, after having managed to lead the proletarian revolution in
Russia. Explanations of the weaknesses, errors and inadequacies of such
pristine Marxism and its left-wing continuators can be found in other
texts.(1) Compiled by Aníbal (December 2022)

Fringe Left
Posted on 2021/06/18 by majdoorsamachar
German-Dutch Left and Italian Left did not break from the
social-democratic framework
[A bold thesis put forward by Trotskyists, communizers, and their
followers (including Internationalist Perspective). Curious to see the
argument.]
and its underlying social strata
[Probably referring to the theory of workers' aristocracy,
remade by Stalin into workerism, framed by Autonomists to glorify the
unlearned mass worker, condemning educated workers]
despite their critiques of many facets of social-democratic
theory and practice in Germany and especially of the Bolshevik Party in
Russia after October 1917.
Their remnants in the fringe left, even during these thirty-five years
that we have had some interactions with a few of them,
[as far as I had the pleasure to correspond with Majdoorsamachar, it
showed insensitive for any critique. Instead, it limited itself to
personal attacks and scorn, an old left-bourgeois tradition]
are stuck in the 1920s. Whereas, with incomparable leaps in
productive forces since early-1970s,
[Here we find Stalin's deformation of historic materialist from
history man-made by class struggle in favor of history determined by the
evolution of productive forces, understood in a technical sense only]
“revolutionary intellectuals” have increasingly become irrelevant
throughout the world.
[It have been 'Leninism' in all its forms and the deformations of the
tendency Kautsky/Rühle/Brendel/Simon that believed that historical
materialism was the product of 'intellectuals.' Majdoorsamachar may
share that false thesis in a positive or negative way, it does not
apply to the KAPD/GIC current]
Despite our above mentioned reading, on the basis of interactions
with most of the strands of the left in India over these forty-five
years, it seems that an acquaintance with the German-Dutch Left +
Italian Left and their inheritors could be of help in questioning the
leninist- stalinist-trotskyist-maoist framings that still have some
influence.
[You are most welcome!]

Some
recent books on the period of transition
We
draw your attention to some recently published books by an author and
publisher, who is new to the milieu interested in the Communist Left:
Hermann Lueer and publisher Red & Black Books in Hamburg.
When giving introductions to Marxism throughout Germany, Lueer was
regularly asked about the alternative to capitalism. In search of an
answer, Lueer discovered Grundprinzipien kommunistischer Produktion
und Verteilung by Gruppe Internationaler Kommunisten
(G.I.K.) of 1930.
In
his homage to the work of the G.I.K. under the same title, Lueer gives a
current introduction to the actual core of the work of the G.I.K.: how
can the 'association of free and equal people' (Marx in Capital),
or in his 1871 writings about the 'Commune'-organization, or how in 1917
the 'council organization' can gain and, above all, retain power over
the means of production? After all, in Russia the workers soon lost
power over the enterprises.
The
answer lies in the fact that reformism in social democracy ignored Marx'
and Engels' view, particularly in Marx' Critique of the Gotha
Programme, of an economy with working hours as a measure of
production and, initially, also consumption. Instead, reformism accepted
Hilferding's view, which suggested that in socialism economy should be
organized as a General Cartel, the organizational form of highly
developed capitalism, i.e., controlled by economic specialists. Lenin
took over this view and realized it in Russia, with which the
dictatorship over the proletariat was a fact.
Lueer's
tribute to the work of the G.I.K. is now available in three languages: German,
English
and Dutch.
Lueer's
tribute does not address various criticisms since the republishing in
1970 of the first edition in German in 1930. Especially that of Paul
Mattick in his introduction to this reprint, followed by Gilles Dauvé
and finally Raoul Victor. Victor's text of 2016 'in response to Kees'
under the title The
Economy in the Transition to a 'Communist' Society (*), served the
German-speaking group Freundinnen und Freunde der klassenlosen
Gesellschaft as a starting point for their discussions of
21-3-2018: Umrisse
der Weltcommune. On the group's website, Kosmoprolet, a
discussion was published, including Lueer's contribution Kritik
von Hermann Lueer an den Thesen zur Weltcommune (20-1-2019). It is
typical of the quality of this discussion contribution that Kosmoprolet
was forced to ask Victor for a position, which appeared as Arbeitszeitrechnung
und ökonomische Rationalität in einer postkapitalistischen
Gesellschaft (4-11-2019). It is curious to see that the reply by
Lueer, Antwort
an Raoul Victor, was not posted on the Kosmoprolet website until
now, nor has been it included in the book KLASSE,
KRISE, WELTCOMMUNE. Beiträge zur Selbstabschaffung des Proletariats
with all other contributions. It seems therefor that Victor does not
have an answer, and certainly not the Freunde as an
organization, while it is clear from other contributions to the
discussion that some do share the views of the G.I.C.
Hermann
Lueer has meanwhile published the first German translation
of the Dutch second edition of Fundamental Principles in book
form: Grundprinzipien
kommunistischer Produktion und Verteilung, and its first
English translation:
Fundamental
principles of communist production and distribution.
These
translations are of great significance. As explained in The
G.I.C. and the Economy of the Transition Period - Introductory Article,
the 1935 second edition in Dutch was supplemented with fragments in
reply to certain critics and misunderstandings. Amongst others, the
supposed 'utopian character' of the propositions of the G.I.K., the
question of 'equality', on the dictatorship of the proletariat, and on
libertarian communism. Important information on the agrarian question in
the Russian and in the German Revolution was added. This edition was the
last edited by the G.I.K. and therefor is its final answer to the
objections at the time raised against its positions.

- In dutch language only: Anton Pannekoek "Friedrich
Adler" 1916 (met een inleiding "individueel terrorisme of
proletarische massastrijd tegen de imperialistische oorlog?").
Ajoute en francais:
"A mettre en parallèle avec un texte de Bordiga, qui lui soutient
l’action terroriste de Friedrich Adler... «Fritz Adler, notre camarade,
de ceux que nous connaissons et aimons, qui a adhéré à Zimmerwald, qui a
reproduit à la main le Manifeste de la minorité socialiste autrichienne
lu par beaucoup d’entre nous non sans larmes d’émotion et
d’enthousiasme… Ce n’est pas un fou, pardieu ! … Son acte fut le
corollaire de sa – de notre – campagne internationaliste. Le fait est
une propagande plus efficace que les mots… Friedrich Adler est des
nôtres. Il appartient au prolétariat international, dont il est devenu
le symbole». Bordiga, «Adler», L’Avanguardia, 5 novembre 1916, in
Scritti..., op. cit., p. 290-291."
