Topic: Revolutionary State Party


  
  Institutional Revolutionary Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The party was the result of Plutarco Elías Calles's efforts to stop the violent struggle for power between the victorious factions of the Mexican Revolution, and guarantee the peaceful if not democratic transmission of power for members of the party.
The party had acquired a reputation for dishonesty, and while this was admitted (to a degree) by some of its affiliates, its supporters maintained that the role of the party was crucial in the modernization and stabilization of Mexico.
The party was described by some scholars as a "state party", a term which captures both the non-competitive history and character of the party itself, and the inextricable connection between the party and the Mexican state for much of the 20th century.

 Communist state - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
Political scientists have developed the concept of the Communist state to reflect claims made by Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and others that the revolutionary state must be led by the dictatorship of the proletariat, in which the working class is represented by the Communist Party.
Communist states have maintained a large secret police apparatus to closely monitor the population and silence those deemed "enemies of the state." Arrest, torture, "reeducation," and summary execution are all methods that have been employed.
States that incorporate the policies and techniques of the orthodox Stalinist state of the 1930s are characteristically more totalitarian, impoverished, militaristic, and static, as can be seen in North Korea and Communist Albania.

State ownership of the most important means of production has not altered their capitalist nature as the property of finance capital, which is the real form of capital in the imperialist era.
Just as revolutionary consciousness without a party is unthinkable, the lesson of the Russian experience is that even the most class conscious party cannot maintain a revolution in isolation from the soviets (or similar mass organs of the working class).
The process of moving from today's fragmentary struggles of revolutionary forces scattered throughout the globe to tomorrow's political and military battles of the international revolutionary party demands the maximum of effort by communists to secure political homogenisation and the organisation of new cadres.

 Julius Nyerere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All that needed to be done was to return to this state and capitalism would be forgotten.
With the realisation that the Tanzanian economy did not flourish and being unwilling to lead Tanzania using an economic model he did not believe, Nyerere willingly announced that he would retire after presidential elections in 1985, leaving the country to enter its free market era under the leadership of Ali Hassan Mwinyi.
From the mid 1970s, along with President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, he was an instigator and leader of the "Front Line States", which provided uncompromising support for the campaign for Black Majority Rule in South Africa.

 Evaluation of the Past
Such an overestimation of the revolutionary situation led to impetuosity and the state of subjective forces was not taken into account, thus exacerbating the mistakes.
It is true that the revolutionary situation was favourable to us with the ruling classes engulfed in deep economic and political crises, and wherever possible the proletariat had to rouse the peasantry to armed struggle and make attempts to seize political power.
Any revolutionary upsurge is bound to give rise to right and left deviations: "right in not being able to break from the past" and "left in not being able to reckon with the present." Only we are responsible for our mistakes, and mistakes are unavoidable in any revolutionary upsurge.

 Revolutionary Socialist Party: TUC Betrayed (1944)
The dominant Unit was the ITGWU, as the organisational position crystallised, as with all other Unions a new social grouping, as a result of their divorcement from the organised Rank and File, their dread of Democracy as a challenge to their fat salaries and lucrative perquisites, became a fetter on the forces they misrepresented.
Too spineless to wage an independent fight against the Bosses, they crawled to the State power (whom they consider as an impartial agent) to seek the protection of the State against the workers they were battening on, and, on the other hand, their eventual liquidation by the Bosses.
Secondly, we have the inspired breakaway from the Labour Party of the National Labour Party.

They also claim that electoral fraud, even with voter suppression and violence was one of the resources the party used when the political machine did not work.
Only the occasional federal deputy ''(diputado)'' or senator ''(senador)'' from other parties ever got elected, and the first state governor not to originate from its ranks was not elected until 1989 (Ernesto Ruffo Appel of the PAN in Baja California).
Some analysts even consider that if the party manages to stay united in nominating one single candidate for the 2006 presidential election, the PRI may be able to recoup the presidency.

What the Social-Democrats did not realise (or chose to ignore) was that the State apparatus- parliament, the police, the government bureaucracy- is not the friend of the workers and the poor.
Power was in the hands of a one-party State and elite led by the Communist party which exploited the workers and peasants.
The State is must be replaced by workers democracy organised in the community and the workplace, defended by a democratic workers army.

 A reply to Louis Proyect's "A Marxist Critique of Bakunin"
But states do not topple of their own accord; they can only be toppled by a multi-national, multi-racial, world-wide social revolution." A few pages on, Bakunin argues that "liberation of the proletariat is absolutely impossible within the framework of any state.
The experiences of revolutionaries in those countries were to be ignored, in favour of repeating the practices of an illegal party which operated in the barely capitalist Tsarist autocracy.
This was the attempt by the reformers within the party to adjust the party's (revolutionary) rhetoric to its (reformist) practice (the "distinction between the contenders remained largely a subjective one, a difference of ideas in the evaluation of reality rather than a difference in the realm of action."

It will, in fact, be a part of developing and strengthening the revolutionary unity of the masses of people, of all races and nationalities, on the basis of the fight against white supremacy and inequality.
As our Party's Programme puts it, this "solid core" is "the revolutionary alliance of the class-conscious proletarian movement as a whole with the struggles of the Black, Chicano, Puerto Rican, Native American and other oppressed peoples against the common enemy--the imperialist system and bourgeois dictatorship." (p.
But the point is exactly this: The revolutionary unity of the masses of different nationalities and the new, revolutionary socialist state must embody the equality of peoples.

 phorum - Breaking News - MEXICAN PLATFORMISM: REVOLUTIONARY ANARCHISM & POLITICAL PARTIES: (ACL, MEXICO)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
We believe that it is inappropriate to present ourselves to the workers as a "workers' party", given that nowadays party is understood in its bourgeois sense associated with elections, parliament, political power and a whole series of concepts which go against the idea of popular emancipation.
We are convinced that those parties and individuals who describe themselves as representing the exploited classes and the oppressed, and who create hopes of emancipation in them through elections and parliaments, are instead only reinforcing the bourgeois political institutions and thereby (logically and effectively) also despotism, exploitation and tyranny...
The Leninist tendency wants the vanguard party to take control of the State once the revolution has been won, as its members are supposed to be the most conscious, the most intelligent, the best able to represent perfectly the interests of the proletariat.

 MODERN LEFTISM AS RECYCLED FASCISM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
And all that was thoroughly confirmed when the mainstream Leftist parties of the various European countries lined up behind their respective national governments in World War I. So it was nationalism and patriotism rather than class-struggle that would most move the workers.
So if we regard the creation of large nation states as a good thing (a fairly dubious proposition) the small silver lining that we can see in the dark cloud of Fascism is that they do seem to have had some success in creating a sense of nationhood.
That is of course not remotely to claim that either of the parties concerned is a Nazi or an explicitly Fascist party.

When the Auckland branch of the Socialist Party invited him to become their organiser he accepted, returning to Auckland in May. His Sunday night lectures quickly attracted enormous audiences.
Wherever he went he preached that the palliatives of the Liberals, including arbitration, had failed; that craft unionism was an obstacle to progress; that only through industrial unions could the workers achieve self reliance and dignity and, at the same time, build a revolutionary state within a state.
He preached revolutionary socialism and attacked religion and the clergy in the name of reason, science, and progress.

 a reply to Lance Selfa's "EMMA GOLDMAN: A life of controversy"
Secondly, this dogma of party dictatorship had been enshrined in Bolshevik ideology for four years and was considered a fundamental lesson of the revolution.
Thus the USSR could not be "state capitalist" in Cliff's sense for the same reason Native American tribes producing tomahawks and arrows to resist White settlers did not become "capitalist" or slave holding in the American South did not become "capitalist" by selling its goods on the world market.
As he put it, the "revolutionary party, even having seized power (of which the anarchist leaders were incapable in spite of the heroism of the anarchist workers), is still by no means the sovereign ruler of society." [69] Thus "workers' power" meant the party leadership seizing power, not the workers.
