(ili) 'Source of Income' and class BEFORE MARX, the political economists of the classical chool, culminating in Adan Smith lysed in detail the distribution of the product between different classes, which mani- market. This definition of classes— according to respective source of income — was the highest point reached within bourgeois social theory on this question.

It requires a leap beyond the limits of the historical condi- tions of capitalist production to penetrate deeper than these distribution relations. Marx concerned himself, as we have seen, with the basic relations of production social underlying the mode of dis- tribution; relations of produc- tion which were themselves historical, i.e. transitory as necessary products. well as Where the political economists took these production relations as natural (and this was true even of Millar and the whole Scottish school, who outlined the economic basis of all 'ranks',°) Marx sought their origin and law of development.

If the production relations of a society, and the new pro- duction relations which would replace them, were themselves historical products, then the classes in which men struggle to reproduce and produce them must be analysed at this . level of production first of all.

Defended Once again we find that the outstanding Marxists, such as Lenin, Rosa Trotsky and Luxemburg, have always de- fended this conception of class against those who proceeded from more simplified and de- scriptive definitions, which in essence were restricted to the surface of society. Lenin, in one of his many criticisms of the unhistorical and idealistic views of the Narodniks, says: "To look for the fundamental distinguishing feature of the various classes of society in their sources of income is to give precedence to relations of distribution, which in reality are only a consequence of re- lations of production. This error was long ago pointed out by Marx, who described as vulgar socialists those who failed to see it. The funda- mental criterion by which classes are distinguished is the place they occupy in social production, and, consequently, relations in which they the to the means of pro- stand duction. Appropriation of one part or another of the social means of production and its application to private enter- prise, to undertakings organ- ized for the sale of the product, is the fundamental distinction of one class in present society (the bour- geoisie) from the proletariat, which is deprived of the means production and sells its of labour power. '... it is the exploitation of wage-labour that leads to the division of society into irreconcilably opposed classes, and ... only from the point of view of this class struggle can all other manifestations of exploitation be consistently gauged. '"! Engels notes that in Marx's method, *Every economic relation is first conceived from the point of view of production, apart from all historical determina- tion'.12 Capitalist society itself faci- of litates the abstraction 'economic' from other char- acteristics of social differentia- tion, because of the necessary conditions of its own emerg- ence and daily reproduction, i.e. the freeing of wage-labour from all except and capital economic ties. A obiection to common historical materialism is that its notion of economic rela- tions as the 'base' is a reflec- tion of capitalist society's own pre-eminent concern with 'material' con- economic or siderations, whereas in other society religion or forms of politics predominated in social ('° cf. Ronald Meek, The Scot- tish School of Political Economy in 'Democracy and the Labour Movement', ed. J. Saville.)

Saturday July 18, 1970 developed in economic struc- ture ... the stratification of classes does not appear in its pure form'. He does not ignore the existence of inter- mediate and transitional strata, but abstracts from simply them at this level of analysis: 'Middle and intermediate strata even here • obliterate of demarcation every- lines where (though incomparably less in rural districts than in the cities). However, this is immaterial for our analysis.'

In other contexts, and specifically the political, Marx of course paid great attention to these 'impurities' This 'abstraction' is not arbi- trary, according to Marx, but itsell reflects the process by which capitalism is actually crushing out all non-capitalist forms of production and social groups: 'We have seen that the con- tinual tendency and law of development of the capitalist mode of production is more and more to divorce the means of production from labour, and more and more to concentrate the scattered means of produc- tion into large groups, there- by transforming labour into wage-labour and the means of production into capital. And to this tendency, on the other corresponds the inde- hand, pendent separation of landed and property from capital labour, or the transformation of all landed property into the form of landed property corre- sponding capitalist to the mode of production." Constitutes Now Marx turns to the general question, 'What con- stitutes a class?' and says he to answer it will proceed through the answer to another question: 'What makes wage- labourers, capitalists and land- lords constitute the three great social classes?' He first of all proceeds to show why source of income, which appears to be the answer, is inadequate: *At first glance-the identity and sources of of revenues révenue . . : (my emphasis, C.S.) This 'appearance' is then presented in its everyday form: 'There are three great social groups whose members, the individuals forming them, live on wages, profit and ground- rent respectively, on the reali- zation of their labour-power, their capital, and their landed property. However, says Marx, there other, smaller are many divisions which would more exactly classify the population according to source of income.

All these social groups are not, however, social classes the 'three great social like classes'. 'However, from this stand- point, physicians and officials, e.g., would also constitute two classes, for they belong to two distinct social groups, the members of each these groups receiving their revenue from and the one same source. The same would also the infinite frag- be true of mentation of interest and rank into which the division of social labour splits - labourers and land- as well as capitalists lords-the latter, e.g., into of vineyards, farm owners of forests, owners, owners mine owners and owners of fisheries...'15 Expansion At this point the manuscript breaks off. We have indicated earlier that Marx's exposition would have been an expansion of the first sentence of his chapter, where types of owner- and non-ownership means of production, giving rise to a definite, historically- conditioned form of exploita- tion, are placed at the root of the three main types of source of income and class under capitalism. This is confirmed not only by the general character of Marx's writings, but particu- larly by the preceding chap- ters in Volume III and the various letters he wrote to Engels on his purpose in sec- tion VII of this volume. These earlier chapters are devoted specifically to dispell- ing the illusion that the three types of revenue (wages, profit and ground-rent) are 'realiza- tions' of labour-power, capital and landed property. These three types of owner- ship are the bases of the three great classes, but it is not true that their respective types of income are rewards or 'realiza- tions' of their respective con- tributions to production. Much of Volume III is taken up with a detailed disproof of such notions and an exposition of how these characteristic ideo- logical illusions arise. It is shown' that, in fact labour is the source of all these incomes: first of wages; out also of ground-rent and of the profits of the various types of capitalist, which are each proportions of the total sur- plus-value, the unpaid labour of the proletariat. ('''Capital', Vol. III p. 862).

(lIbid, p. 863). Continued next Saturday.

Saturday July 18, 1970 THERE IS safety, it is said, in retrospect. Accordingly the whole of bourgeois and official France lined up on Tuesday to cele- brate a revolution that is past.

On July 14, 1789, the revo- lutionary people of Paris, join- soldiers, conquered ing with the Bastille, the royal prison and fortress which dominated the east of Paris. The inmates they freed four forgers, two lunatics and a dypsomaniac the arms they took. The Bastille, whose guns had threatened the working- class district of the Faubourg St Antoine, was razed to the ground, and the revolution passed out of the control of the middle-class lawyers and politicians. From that point on it was no respecter of persons. In terror of the Paris 'mob' and the peasants in the coun- tryside, the National Assembly deputies vied with each other to end all feudal privilege.

The revolution drove its leaders on to decapitate the King and decimate the aris- tocracy and seemed to threaten even private property itself.

* But what was really being celebrated on Tuesday was Thermidor-the counter-revo- lutionary coup in 1794 which took Robespierre to the guillo- tine, ended concessions to the workers and poor petty bour- geois, and opened the door for an orgy of capitalist specula- tion and profiteering. Bastille Day is organized Middle-class Paris lined the Champs Elysees for an endless parade The storming of the Bastille AUSTRIAN Social Demo- cratic Chancellor Kreisky, already seriously shaken by the discovery of two ex- Nazis in his cabinet, faces further problems. * His small parliamentary majority is in danger follow- ing the removal of 16 deputies, including nine Social Demo- crats, from parliament by a decision the Supreme Court. Available from NEW PARK PU 186a Clapham High St., And at night, at state ex- pense, a sea of alcohol and a galaxy of fireworks helped banish the spectre of insur- rection. * Naturally, the reformists and Stalinists were there in force.

It was found that the small Austrian Nazi party (NDP-O) had run candidates in their constituencies by forging sig- natures on the nomination papers. * Over half a million elec- tors will vote again in October, when Kreisky hopes to regain a firm majority. But the Nazi vote probably operated to the advantage of the Social Democrats, being taken mainly from their opponents. n NEW PARK PUBLICATIONS lapham High St., SW4.

It is mainly concerned with Lenin's paternal family (his was "Ulyanov', family name 'Lenin' being pseudonym which he took later) and goes to some lengths to stress the 'purely Russian' character of the village of Adrosova and the Ulyanovs. Lenin's father is described as 'more than 170 centimetres tall, with perfectly blond hair, mustache and beard, and clear brown eyes'. These are 'facts' adds the author, 'which speak for themselves'. All of which is as may be, facts' 'though what 'the are trying to say remains a little obscure. Evidently what Shurtakov is getting at is that Lenin, in accordance with the best tenets of 'socialism in one country', was in no way 'alien' or non- Russian. Unfortunately for Stalinist Russophiles, there has ap- peared in a French magazine the account, by a Polish his- torian who was in Moscow in 1964, of some further research on Lenin's family which the bureaucracy has suppressed.

In that year Marietta Shag- hinian, an author and historian, was studying Russian trade of the early 19th century. She came across a Jewish merchant, Sender Blank, who changed his name, on baptism into Russian the Orthodox Church, to Alexander Blank.

But Lenin's mother's family name, she recalled, was also Blank. Returning to the archives she confirmed that Maria Alexandrovna Blank, born in- to the Jewish family of Sender Blank of Simbirsk in 1835, was converted to Christianity as adult an and married Ilya Nickolaevich Ulyanov. Lenin was one of the child- ren of their marriage. Shaghinian wrote up her Twice'. With Lana Turner and John Garfield.

Bielov, once Chief of State Security and then Director of Soviet archives, was severely reprimanded, and two unfor- workers in the Lenin- Lunate Melamedova grad archives, and Pavlova, were sacked from their jobs. Why all the panic? The bureaucracy has never, been from the earliest days, averse to using scarcely-veiled their anti-Semitism against political opponents and vic- tims. In the Slansky trial in Czechoslovakia, in 1952— stage-managed by Russian 14 'advisers'-ll of the vic- tims were Jewish, and each of them was specifically referred to, in indictment, as be- the 'of Jewish origin'. ing 'Rootless cosmopolitan' and similar phrases were used as terms of racialist abuse. 'Socialism in one country, relying on the most backward sections of the population, inevitably back turned to the most obscene superstitions of class society.

This is why when (horror of horrors!) it is discovered that Lenin, even by breeding, 'national phenome- not a non', the bureaucracy strained every sinew to suppress the fact.
