However, collective bargaining had not been recognized as a legal institution for the earlier half of that period: collective bargaining was legally recognized only when the Constitution of the Republic of Korea of 1948 incorporated basic labour rights.
Against the background of the retreat of the military dictatorship, the hegemony in collective bargaining was taken by trade unions, especially by the newly emerged democratic unions that rejected alliances with the Federation of Korean Trade Unions (FKTU).
Regardless of the different forms of collective bargaining which prevail, trade unions are facing serious challenges arising from the massive restructuring and job reduction drive on the part of government and employers in the con text of the IMF-managed economic policy and the ensuing currency crisis.

During the dictatorship, the cult of remembering was the fuel of the political struggle.
Consistent with this view, the political and historical meaning constructed by the participants in their individual and collective narratives aims at putting back together the fragmented aspects of the political history that was destroyed at the time of the military coup.
This fracture in the individual and collective life experience fragmented their political understanding and therefore the meaning of the events triggered by the arrest and release of Pinochet.

In the period of the dictatorship of the proletariat the family economic unit should be recognised as being, from the point of view of the national economy.
There are two grounds on which, in the interests of the workers’ collective, the relationships between the sexes ought to be subject to legislative regulations: (a) the health and hygiene of the nation and the race, and (b) the increase or decrease of the population required by the national economic collective.
Instead of laws and the threat of legal proceedings, the workers’ collective must rely on agitational and educational influences, and on social measures to improve the relationships between the sexes and to guarantee the health of the children born from these relationships.

According to Aguilar's definition, collective memory is composed of the recollection of a particular historical event and the value or lessons linked to this memory.
This collective memory was constituted by the recollection of the defeat of the MLN-T in 1972.
Regarding the first set of questions, the collective memory of these groups was composed of the recollection of a common traumatic historical event, relevant or significant to their present, and lessons drawn from this memory.

The regime's obsession with the preservation of national unity (one of the declared aims of the Francoist side in the Civil War was to annihilate the so-called “separatist” desires of Basques and Catalans) compelled it act with an extensive amount of violence in those regions possessing greater linguistic and cultural peculiarities.
The highly visible presence of the Armed Forces in the Basque country during the last decade of the dictatorship contributed to the diffusion of the image, created by the radical nationalists, that an "occupation foreign army" was "invading" their territory.
The 1978 Constitution, a milestone in the transition from the dictatorship and proclaimed as the Constitution of Spanish Reconciliation, was approved throughout the country, yet the campaign by Basque nationalists in favor of abstention enjoyed unexpected success in their own territory.

"Collective ownership" means that the group is in control; "dictatorship" means that a single person is in control.
Socialists argue that the workplace is one of the last bastions of dictatorship still in existence in Western society.

 Was Bakunin a secret authoritarian?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Marxists quote Bakunin's terms "invisible dictatorship" and "collective dictatorship" out of context, using it to "prove" that anarchists are secret authoritarians, seeking dictatorship over the masses.
Simply that whenever Bakunin uses the term "invisible" or "collective" dictatorship he also explicitly states his opposition to government (or official) power and in particular the idea that anarchist organisations should take such power.
In fact, rather than promoting a despotic dictatorship over the masses his concept of "invisible dictatorship" is very similar to the "leadership of ideas" concept used by many anarchists.

We are familiar with a kind of dictatorship perpetrated by strong military dictators like Augusto Pinoshe, Adolf Hitler etc. but unchecked power exercised even by the majority is likely to bring about authoritarian oligarchy.
The main feature that all types of dictatorship, or authoritarianism, have in common is concentration of political power in one power center.
Under every dictatorship, untrammeled or virtually untrammeled political power is lodged in one place.

 Infoshop.org - An Anarchist FAQ - J.3 What kinds of organisation do anarchists build?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It is about collective decision making from the bottom up, that empowers those at the "base" of the structure and only delegates the work of co-ordinating and implementing the members decisions (and not the power of making decisions for people).
They use the term "class struggle" to indicate that their anarchism is based on collective working class resistance as opposed to reforming capitalism via lifestyle changes and the support of, say, co-operatives (many "class struggle" anarchists do these things, of course, but they are aware that they cannot create an anarchist society by doing so).
In addition, an anarchist organisation must also be a 'collective memory' for the oppressed, keeping alive and developing the traditions of the labour movement and anarchism so that new generations of anarchists have a body of experience to build upon and use in their struggles.

 Chile: doing a deal with memory.
The question of human rights violations by state officials during the military dictatorship is not a priority in the current political debate.
In July 1999, in a decision described as “historic”, Chile’s Supreme Court confirmed the indictment of high-ranking officers on the grounds that when victims’ bodies could not be found, the crimes involved were “permanent and not subject to limitation” and therefore not covered by the amnesty law.
Some people have alleged that the crimes of the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile should not be punished because pouring salt into this open wound, establishing the truth and obtaining justice would destabilize democracy and endanger so-called social peace.

 Polity, Dictatorship, Authoritarian Government, Tyranny
A dictatorship is a political regime under which the power of government is not limited by law.
All types of dictatorship, or authoritarianism, have one key characteristic in common: Unbridled political power is lodged in one place--one person, one small and united group, or a unified, highly disciplined, and well-led popular majority or its elected representatives, who are unified, highly disciplined and well led.
Dictatorship is characterized by the government's exercise of unlimited power, while constitutionalism is characterized by limited government under a constitution.

 The Road of the October Revolution
In 1929-30 the collective farms were granted seed loans and seed assistance to the amount of 10,000,000 centners of grain (61 million poods).
The result of all these measures was a forty-fold increase in the crop area of collective farms in three years, and a fifty-fold increase in the grain output of the collective farms (with an increase in its marketable part of more than forty-fold) during the same three years, i.e., 1927-29.
Under the dictatorship of the proletariat, when the power of the working class is firmly established, the alliance of the working class with the peasantry means reliance on the poor peasants, alliance with the middle peasants, and a fight against the kulaks.

 _On remembering and silencing the past: the adult children of the disappeared in the Southern Cone of Latin America.
I propose that a comprehensive theory of collective memory that theorizes the mutual interpenetration of past and present is a needed analytic tool to illuminate all processes of remembering [4] and commemorating in their full complexity and dynamism.
In this light, collective memory is understood as an ongoing socio-political-cultural process of negotiation over meanings through time, neither unchanging and absolute nor wholly contingent to contemporary need in the present (Nerone1989; Olick and Levy 1997: 923, drawing from Bergson [1896] 1991, Prager 1998).
If collective memory is tempered by its inscription in particularly distinct cultures of fear and oblivion, then my analysis should show different ways in which collective memory is experienced/ embodied, processed and expressed collectively and in personal accounts (both in public and in private) within each group in Argentina and Uruguay.

In case you aren't very aware of the situation in Zimbabwe, it is in the midst of a political and economic disaster: the tyrannical dictatorship is accused of rigging elections and enforcing their rule through torture and killing, and inflation of the Zim dollar is the highest in the world.
This allowed us to film at one of their distribution centers, which ultimately became the last footage of any of Zimbabwe's emergency food distributions - the Zim government expelled the WFP just days after we left, leaving the lives of 5 million people in jeopardy.

Indeed, during the first part of the dictatorship from 1973 to 1980, strikes were entirely illegal and collective bargaining suspended.
But their right to collective bargaining remains very limited as it is dependent on employers agreeing to negotiate with unions of temporary workers.
Under the Pinochet military dictatorship there were many cases of political discrimination at the workplace, which could result in politically motivated dismissals.

HAFs, Sovereignty and the UN A UN, a step toward a world collective or one world government, is a romantic notion particularly popular with egalitarians who, by some stretch of the imagination, transmogrify the greatest bastion of freedom in the world into a fascist dictatorship.
According to their understanding the most hideous regime, no matter its record on individual rights, is entitled to immunity from outside interference based upon the concept of national sovereignty, but this is a misunderstanding of the issue.
What Hate America Firsters must assiduously ignore is that a dictatorship has no claim to sovereignty, the case for sovereignty can only be made for those States that derive their power from the consent of the governed.

 Reply to Chris Harmen (SWP) How the Revolution was Lost?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In purely quantitative terms, the class that had led the revolution, the class whose democratic processes had constituted the living core of Soviet power, was halved in importance.
As one Soviet Historian put it, "taking the account of the mood of the workers, the demand for free elections to the soviets [raised in early 1921] meant the implementation in practice of the infamous slogan of soviets without communists," although there is little evidence that the strikers actually raised that "infamous" slogan.
Harman maintains that "those workers and peasants who fought the Civil War could not govern themselves collectively from their places in the factories." The obvious question arises as to why these workers and peasants could not "govern themselves collectively" while in the Red Army.

"This dictatorship is free from all self-interest, vanity and ambition for it is anonymous, invisible and does not give advantage or honor or official recognition of power to a member of the group or to the groups themselves.

Industry under collective ownership covered 3 per cent of the fixed assets, 36.2 per cent of the people engaged in in dustry, and 14 per cent of the total output value.
Historically, every major change in the system of ownership, be it the replacement of slavery by the feudal system or of feudalism by capitalism, was invariably preceded by the seizure of political power, which was then used to effect large-scale change in the system of ownership and consolidate and develop the new system.

The most famous expression of collective workers struggle during this period was, of course, the general strike in Petrograd which set off the Kronstadt revolt.
As the Bolsheviks clamped down on all independent working class activity and organisation, it is hardly surprising that the workers became marginal to the revolution.
Moreover, let us not forget that it was during this period that the Bolsheviks raised the dictatorship of the party to both a practical and ideological truism.

 Weekly Worker 398 Thursday September 6 2001
Bakunin stressed repeatedly that he was for this “collective dictatorship” by his “invisible” secret band of conspirators who imposed their hidden control over an anarchic revolution, without any open political structure.
His “invisible force” is now described as “the collective dictatorship of our organisation”, the “secret organisation” of the invisible controllers, whom Bakunin called the “invisible legion” or the “invisible network.”
So the “secret collective dictatorship” - definitely not the dictatorship of the proletariat - would hold the real reins of power.
