  Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM)
It is important that the revolutionary elements in both kinds of countries be educated to understand the nature of the strategic alliance between the revolutionary proletarian movement in the advanced countries and the national-democratic revolutions in the oppressed nations.
The social-chauvinist position that would deny the importance of the revolutionary struggle of the oppressed peoples or their ability, under the leadership of the proletariat and a genuine Marxist-Leninist party, to lead to the establishment of socialism is still a dangerous deviation to be combated.
The desire to spread the revolutionary movement of the 1960s to the proletariat and to merge with the workers, inspired to no small degree by the experience of the revolutionary youth in the Cultural Revolution, was a powerful and correct revolutionary sentiment which, however, became stifled and distorted under the influence of economism.

 Union Labels?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Business unions have long been businesses themselves, with entrenched and powerful bureaucracies, and their conduct over the years has created the image of labor unions as corrupt, inefficient, self-serving agencies (of course, this view is foisted on us by the corporate press, who are by no means neutral or objective in their coverage).
Clearly, the revolutionary union view of the reality of relations between workers and bosses is more accurate than that of the business unionists, as recent history only too clearly shows, in the flood of pink slips and factory relocations which have left a devastated workforce in its wake.
Revolutionary unions practice industrial unionism; that is, the idea that instead of workers dividing themselves into manifold trades, and defending their interests to the exclusion of others, there are, instead, only two classifications in working society -- workers and capitalists.

 Party, union, and revolutionary strategy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This is preeminently the job of the revolutionary political party because workers won't join the revolutionary union movement until their political understanding and consciousness are first revolutionized.
The union is the embodiment of the material force - control of the productive resources - to enact the idea once it has been accepted by the majority.
To the degree the union develops as an independent force it becomes progressively less dependent on the party, to the final conclusion of the struggle when the union becomes the government and the party disbands.

 Anarcho-Syndicalism and Utility   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Imposing an anarchist line on an anarcho-syndicalist union, and by implication restricting membership of the anarcho-syndicalist union to those who adhere to the principles of anarchy is not only to blur the line between the anarcho-syndicalist union and the anarchist political organisation, and in so doing to destroy its reason for being.
The primary purpose of the anarcho-syndicalist or revolutionary union is to foster the initiative and self-directed activity of the individual member, and to break the habit of obedience, deference and mindless acceptance of the bosses' economic and social order.
The only qualification that worker X should need for membership of the anarcho-syndicalist union is that she or he is pissed off with work and with her or his boss, and that she or he wants to do something about it without having to submit to the dictates of a union or party boss.

In addition to this, precisely in the revolutionary period, the idea of the councils system which had played a great part in Russia, was being eagerly discussed, and stood at the centre of all practical suggestions for and attempts at socialisation.
Since the Union, however, is at present not yet in the position to influence the development of the situation in its direction, the circumstance automatically arises that Union comrades will be drawn into economic strikes with the trade union orientated workers.
All functions in the Union as a whole are to be performed on an honorary basis; reimbursements are only accorded in cases involving loss of pay, or for fares and additional expenses necessarily arising for travelling speakers.

 Platformism and the International anarchist movement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
When younger revolutionaries attracted to armed resistance became active in the late '60's and the '70's as part of the re-emergence of revolutionary activity characterised by workers' militancy in Britain and the "events" of 1968, a link with our history was there.
Revolutionary unionists need to fill the vacuum they leave, by organising to win small victories around health and safety and other basic conditions, to organise education and briefing sessions on real issues, and to promote libertarian organisation, direct action methods and revolutionary goals as a practical package for establishing rights for workers.
The contradiction between the shopfloor union which belongs to the workers and the corporate body which has a stake in capitalism, hence the behaviour of its bureacracy, is not recognised, and cannot, therefore, be exploited.

 Martin Glaberman: Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement (1969)
The organisation is the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement and is made up of fl workers at the Hamtramck Assembly plant, formerly Dodge Main, of the Chrysler Corporation.
They were, in addition, invasions of the union hall by the pigs and the clubbing and macing of union members without any criticism from the white and uncle torn local union leadership.
In part this was a consequence of the built-in conservatism of the union election machinery.

 The Union Makes us Strong? - Syndicalism: A critical analysis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The 'conscious' anarchists within the anarcho-syndicalist union are seen as the safeguard against the organisation "selling-out" and the non-hierarchical structure safeguards against a division between the rank and file and its delegates, preventing the development of a strata with separate interests from the rest of the membership.
However, we would argue that all unions, regardless of their initial political orientation (and that would include anarcho-communist) have a tendency to become inexorably dragged into a mediating role and to eventually become a break on autonomous class struggle.
Once the period of intense struggle is over the anarcho-syndicalist union is faced with a choice of carrying out all the mundane, routine jobs that any other union has to, or of returning to being a marginal force in the workplace, leaving the way open to the reformist unions.

There are important lessons to learn from these fellow workers' successes and failures, and perhaps most importantly from their determination to continue building a revolutionary union even though their numbers were much smaller than their dreams.

 MANY RACES, ONE UNION!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
For radicals alienated by the brutalities and racism of South African capitalism, the segregationist reformism of the South African Labour Party, and the sectionalism of the craft unions, the IWW vision was attractive.
A second crippling blow against the local IWW came from within: in early 1912, the union was hijacked by members of a local socialist sect intent on setting a "workers' party," and Dunbar was expelled.
Not a true revolutionary syndicalist union - the ICU was influenced more by nationalist and traditionalist ideologies than anti-capitalism, and was run from above by a parasitic, weak, and sometimes crooked, layer of middle class officials - the ICU remained influenced by the IWW.

 Hal Draper: Marxism and the Trade Unions (Part 4)
Now let’s consider a real situation in a union – not one that some would-be revolutionary has invented because he thinks there ought to be a rank and file group and he goes ahead and invents it (which may be necessary, but not the characteristic situation).
The CIO was a dual union; it split from the AFL and became dual to it.
Two unions organize men’s clothing workers – the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and the United Garment Workers; in fact, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers arose as a split from the United Garment Workers and for a long time was an independent union outside of the AFL altogether.

 Glaberman
Again the traditional position that the Soviet Union was a degenerated workers' state began to raise questions in the party, stimulated partly by the atrocious role of the Soviet Union in the war, the conquest, the Stalin-Hitler pact and so on.
A tiny minority retained the view that the Soviet Union was a degenerated workers' state, even though they supported the idea of not supporting Russia in the war.

 The League Of Revolutionary Black Workers - A Historical Study
To approach a study of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, an independent Black radical workers' formation in Detroit, as a consequence of the Black liberation movement, several questions should be answered in the research We should ask ourselves the history of Black workers' relations in white unions.
Those opposed believed that participation in union electoral politics would: (1) appear to be compromising with a "corrupt" UAW; (2) might create the potential for opportunism in some DRUM members; and (3) the election might be lost.
With negative publicity from the established and union press and repression from police forces, DRUM felt that Ron's pulling 40% of the vote under those conditions was a good showing.

 TOWARDS A REVOLUTIONARY WOMEN'S UNION: A Strategic Perspective
As the growth of the Women's Liberation movement has so far produced very little in the way of coherence strategy or organization, many radical women have come to feel a need for a way to have contact with others interested in doing similar kinds of organizing, in the context of a women's organization.
They are "revolutionary," though not necessarily socialist (since after all, they say, socialism has not yet fully liberated women).
But sometimes they believe the revolution they are working towards is a female revolution and completely divorce themselves from any struggles other than women's struggles.
