THE PRESENTATION OF THE QUESTION BY MARX IN 1852* “In 1907, Mehring, in the magazine Neue Zeit134 (Vol. XXV, 2, p. 164), published extracts from Marx’s letter to Weydemeyer dated March 5, 1852. This letter, among other things, contains the following remarkable observation:“And now as to myself, no credit is due to me for discovering the existence of classes in modern society or the struggle between them. Long before me bourgeois historians had described the historical development of this class struggle and bourgeois economists, the economic anatomy of classes. What…

நூற்றைந்து ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு, 1917 ஆம் ஆண்டு அக்டோபர் 24 மற்றும் 25 ஆம் தேதிகளில் இம்பீரியல் ரஷ்யா பயன்படுத்திய ஜூலியன் நாட்காட்டியின்படி (கிரிகோரியன் நாட்காட்டியின்படி நவம்பர் 6 மற்றும் 7 ஆம் தேதிகளில்), ரஷ்ய தொழிலாள வர்க்கம் அதிகாரத்தைக் கைப்பற்றியது. அக்டோபரில் நடந்த அந்த பூமியை உலுக்கிய நிகழ்வுகளுக்கு சாட்சியாக அமெரிக்க பத்திரிகையாளர் ஜான் ரீட் பின்வருமாறு எழுதினார். “போல்ஷிவிசத்தைப் பற்றி ஒருவர் என்ன நினைத்தாலும், ரஷ்யப் புரட்சி மனித வரலாற்றில் மிகப்பெரிய நிகழ்வுகளில் ஒன்றாகும் என்பதையும், போல்ஷிவிகியின் ஆட்சி உலகளாவிய முக்கியத்துவம் வாய்ந்த ஒரு நிகழ்வு என்பதையும் மறுக்க முடியாது.” ஆயினும்கூட, முதலாளித்துவத்தின் மன்னிப்பாளர்கள் ஸ்ராலினிச அரசுகள் மற்றும் சோவியத் ஒன்றியத்தின் சரிவு சோசலிசத்தின் அழிவைக் குறிக்கிறது என்ற எண்ணத்தில் தங்களைத் தாங்களே ஆறுதல்படுத்திக் கொள்ள முயல்கின்றனர். ஆனால் சோவியத் ஒன்றியத்தில் உண்மையில் தோல்வியடைந்தது…

The meaning of October Revolution

October 28, 2022October 28, 2022 wisidagamage

By Raju Prabath Lankaloka One hundred and five years ago, on October 24 and 25 in 1917 according to the Julian calendar used by Imperial Russia (on November 6 and 7 according to Gregorian Calendar), the Russian working class seized power. Witnessing those earth-shattering events of October, American journalist John Reed wrote as below. “No matter what one thinks of Bolshevism, it is undeniable that the Russian Revolution is one of the greatest events in human history, and the rule of the Bolsheviki a phenomenon of worldwide importance.” Yet, the…

By Raju Prabath Lankaloka On the 6th of August 1945, an atomic bomb dubbed “Little Boy” was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, a second bomb, “Fat Man” was dropped 3 days later on Nagasaki. The combined death toll is estimated at 200,000 people; however, this does not take into effect the lasting effects of radiation which continue to blight the inhabitants of the two cities and will continue to do so for generations to come. As the second world war continued in the Pacific theatre, after the defeat…

Legacy of Friedrich Engels!

August 6, 2022August 7, 2022 wisidagamage

By Raju Prabath Lankaloka On 5 August 1895, aged 74, Friedrich Engels, the co-founder of the ideas of scientific socialism, along with Karl Marx, died in London, due to his deteriorating health conditions. We should take this opportunity to re-examine the legacy of this great revolutionary and the invaluable contributions he made in developing the ideas of Marxism, for which we owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. Although Marxism bears the name of Marx, we should never forget the vital contribution made by Engels, and the organic link between…

Maria Koszutska, polish revolutionary and leader of the Polish Communist Party!

July 31, 2022July 31, 2022 wisidagamage

Today I learned about Maria Koszutska, polish revolutionary and leader of the Polish Communist Party. A teacher by trade, she became a committed socialist early in her life, joining the Polish Socialist Party in 1902. Eventually, the PPS would buckle to nationalism. Maria led a left-wing faction, creating the PPS-Left and fighting for international workers solidarity and an opposition to nationalism. Eventually, she would help found the Polish Communist Party. Ever outspoken, Maria was arrested over a dozen times by various governments, which did not deter her. Eventually, this resilience…

Remembering Antonio Gramsci

January 24, 2022January 24, 2022 wisidagamage

By Lorenzo Alfano Antonio Gramsci was born on this day in 1891. We remember his revolutionary life and his contributions to the struggle against capitalism. It’s late at night on Turin’s Via dell’Arcivescovado. A man with a Southern accent shows up at L’Ordine Nuovo’s office, insisting on speaking with the lead editor. For L’Ordine Nuovo is not only the workers’ daily, but also the paper of Antonio Gramsci. Yet the political climate here in Turin at the start of the 1920s is tense — every night, factory workers do shifts on guard duty…
