International Socialists (Canada) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia David McNally (Canadian Marxist), the group's founder, was ousted by Professor Abigail Bakan of Queen's University in Kingston and Paul Kellogg, editor of Socialist Worker. McNally and his supporters became increasingly marginalised and increasingly critical of the direction of the IS and of Bakan in particular. McNally's slate was defeated at the IS's national convention and he soon resigned from the steering committee. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/International_Socialists_(Canada)

append31.txt McNally claims that Marx "was the first major socialist thinker to make the principle of self-emancipation -- the principle that socialism could only be brought into being by the self-mobilisation and self-organisation of the working class -- a fundamental aspect of the socialist project." This is not entirely true. McNally wrote his pamphlet in the 1980s and did not bother to consult the classic introduction to the ideas he claims to be refuting. McNally claims that in Russia "[c]ontrol of the factories was taken over by the workers" but this is a total distortion of what actually happened. flag.blackened.net /intanark/faq/text/append31.txt

95SPLIT.TXT CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISTS 1995-1996 FACTION FIGHT [Split between IS Canada and Political Reorientation Faction/New Socialist] LEADERSHIP AND THE TURN IN THE IS A document for the November 1994 National Convention of the IS By David McNally 1. David McNally makes a proposal to put on an Eastern Ontario organizer and Paul Kellogg made a proposal adopted by the steering committee regarding the production of materials in French and moving to a bi-weekly newspaper. Moreover, several members of the IS, including David McNally, resigned on the basis of an identical argument to the faction within days of the circulation of the PRF documents. www.etext.org /Politics/International.Socialists/95SPLIT.TXT

General Marxist propaganda is the anchor of a revolutionary group in a period of downturn, when its audience is likely to be primarily individuals, often students, seeking political explanations, rather than rank-and-file workers generalizing from their experience of struggle. www.etext.org /Politics/International.Socialists/86FIGHT.TXT

Urban Anthropology The term "urban revolution" was introduced by V. Gordon Childe (1950), a (Marxist) Old World historian, to describe the process by which complex, civilized societies emerged. This process, although in Childe’s view based on a shift in economic productivity, seems to have occurred independently and at different times in several areas of the world. www.indiana.edu /~wanthro/URBAN.htm

SOCIALISM FROM BELOW During each one of these periods Marxist theory was developed and enriched on the basis of the living experience of the working class movement. In his pamphlet, State and Revolution, Lenin restated the Marxist position that the working class would have to overthrow the bureaucratic and elitist state developed by capitalism and replace it with its own democratic workers' state. Yet, in the 50 years after his death in 1883, the 'Marxist' outlook was to undergo enormous- and conflicting - changes. www.athene.antenna.nl /MEDIATHEEK/MCNALLY-1.html

Canada - Restructuring and resistance in the Canadian state The path taken by Canadian corporations and their parties, which dominate official politics, began as a response to capitalist crisis and has continued as capital aggressively pursues its class interests in the context of the competitive pressures of the global economy. In the mid-1970s, Canadian governments and big business - like their counterparts in the US and Western Europe — were confronted with serious problems: falling profits, high inflation, citizens who expected rising wages and better public services, confident unions and high levels of strikes (almost 600,000 workers struck in 1974). The ruling class in the Canadian state gradually developed its current right-wing agenda after the end of the unprecedented period of global capitalist expansion and prosperity that came to an end with the first major post-war recession in 1974-75. www.internationalviewpoint.org /article.php3?id_article=93

Dave Renton's homepage. Socialist history, anti-fascist links, work in progress The Canadian Marxist David McNally makes the point: 'For all its moral and political fervour, there was something remarkably imprecise about his attack on Stalinism. 'There is in Thompson', writes David McNally, 'something of the revolutionary temper, a disposition towards finding the cracks within the heavy structures of society which enable agency and self-activity to bend history, to shape the direction of things. Another Marxist critic Alex Callinicos has taken up the argument, 'the trouble with experience is that it is, by definition, subjective. www.dkrenton.co.uk /research/thomps.html

York University Faculty of Graduate Studies 2002-2004 Calendar Graduate Programme in Political Science This course explores the range of Marxist responses to the 'linguistic turn' within western philosophy and social theory in the twentieth century. Building upon both liberal and neo-Marxist theories of the state, the course will explore the role of the state within Canadian society and economy. The Canadian experience will be placed in the context of the development of social policy regimes in other developed capitalist countries. www.yorku.ca /grads/cal/pol.htm

Journal of Canadian Studies: Canadian political economy and the theory of the contemporary state: Critical perspectives on the sociological imagination (f.5) The term New Canadian Political Economy is generally acknowledged to refer to a somewhat loose group of social scientists who have had, and continue to have a deep and enduring impact on the development of a critical and alternative understanding of Canadian society, economy and politics. Indeed their academic successes have helped proponents of the NCPE establish a virtual paradigmatic and intellectual dominion over left - oriented, critical discourses in Canada; a dominion which is still tangible today in spite of increasing criticism in recent years from advocates of postmodernist and deconstructionist discursive variants.

Biblio: Against the Market: Political Economy, Market Socialism and Marxist Critique by McNally, David: Details McNally, David: Against the Market: Political Economy, Market Socialism and Marxist Critique McNally shows these efforts are still plagued by the failure of early Smithian socialism to come to grips with the social foundations of the market, the commodification of labour-power which is the key to market regulation of the economy. Concludes with an incisive consideration of efforts by writers such as Alec Nove to construct a 'feasible' model of market socialism. www.biblio.com /books/35936960.html

New Socialist Group: Marxism, Nationalism and National Struggles Today It has to be said that marxists have paid little attention to the ideological power of these notions of citizenship, often preferring simply to focus on “corrupt” or “sell-out” leaders who betrayed the socialist movement. But first, I want to point out some of the areas in which the marxist account of nationalism remains weak so that we might be aware of areas of some of the work that remains to be done in developing a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of nationalism in the modern world. If Marxists are to be part of the real terms of political debate in society, argued Lenin, an abstract and timeless position of the sort “all national struggles are out-moded” will not do. www.newsocialist.org /newsite/index.php?id=96

Weekly Worker 127 Thursday January 25 1996 Below we reprint an edited version of a resignation letter - signed by Sue Ferguson, David McNally, Alan Sears and Deborah Simmons - which took the form of an ‘Open letter to members of the International Socialist’, dated December 28 1995. It must be serious about Marxist theory based in the lived experience of the working class as a whole and integrally connected to revolutionary practice. Nowhere is this trend in the IS clearer than in the utterly ludicrous notion that the Steering Committee has been re-enacting the Second Congress of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party, the famous 1903 Congress which saw the historic split between the Bolshevik and Menshevik wings of the Russian Marxist movement. www.cpgb.org.uk /worker/127/swp_canada.html

The Marxist-Leninist Daily David McNally from the York University Faculty Association spoke of what it was like to be under attack that day. What is taking place in Toronto is taking place in the context of the Canadian state criminalizing political dissent and suppressing people who are fighting for their legitimate rights and claims. Within the present context, for the Toronto Police Chief to now come forward to be the political arbiter in Toronto, to determine whose political rights can be suppressed, can only be described as grotesque and a dangerous attack on the political and civil rights of all Torontonians. www.cpcml.ca /tmld/D33090.htm

New Issue of Historical Materialism: A Journal of Critical Marxist Theory Autonomy & Solidarity I would almost go as far as to say (and this is an inside, nerdy Marxist joke) that if Marx stood Hegel on his head with the help of Feuerbach than these dudes stood him right side up again, dusted him off and said sorry about that cheif, no hard feelings! I base my allegation on the title of their Journal "Historical Materialism" which goes to show that they are more about intellectual wanking than agitating the working class and fighting to be it's leaders. The academic schmucks that produce this journal couldn't grasp the most basic premise of Marxism which is that our ability to understand the world is in proportion to our ability to intervene in it. auto_sol.tao.ca /node/view/1068
