STALINISM is in deep and downward crisis. This is because the Stalinist bureaucracy, being a parasitic growth on the first workers' state which reflects an accommodation to im- perialism, inevitably it- selt goes into crisis along with imperialism. From the Marxist stand- point, the only defence of the gains of the October Re- volution is through the evo- lutionary struggle for power of the working class in every other country. Because the Communist Parties are agencies of the Soviet bureaucracy, they adopt political policies of compromise which are cal- culated to make imperialism easier for the bureaucracy to negotiate and to exist with.

As soon as the working the class towards moves overthrow of imperialism, then the Communist Parties devote themselves to blunting and thereby preparing major defeats for the working class.

In France in 1968 the Com- munist Party led the workers away from the fight for power that was in their grasp. Czechoslovakia, the In moving working class was towards the political revolu- tion, the overthrow of the Stalinist bureaucracy. The Soviet leaders' reaction was to suppress the workers by force, and to accelerate their open all the worst return to methods of Stalin. Thus Stalinist parties, while appearing to be the scene of debate and 'freedom of criti- cism' unprecedented in Stalin's day, are poised to play their counter - revolutionary most role. That is the meaning of the British Stalinists' support for 'left' trade the opportunist union leaders who are help- ing the TUC right wing and to the Labour government cripple the working class.

Cover-up Revisionists are those who employ the use of Marxist and Trotskyist phrases in an empiricist way idealist, to cover up the betrayals of the opportunists. Purdie, of the 'International Marxist Group', instead of see- ing Stalinism's present role as we have described it above.

concluded that ... the new features these dominant i s ... their organizational frag- mentation and political diver- , so much so that in sification', . the term this respect ' Stalinist has lost its usefulness'.

In other words, precisely international when new generation of workers can and must be trained as Marxists the in bitter conflict with counter-revolutionary actions of Stalinism, Purdie and the revisionists insist that the Communist Parties are not 'dominantly' Stalinist, but are arenas of 'fragmentation' and 'diversification'. The role of these revisionists exactly this: allow to Stalinism once again to help • Camp capitalism over its crisis, the revolutionary despite upsurge of the working class.

They represent the pressure of imperialism and the Stalinist bureaucracy on the revolutionary movement and on the youth who turn to revolution. This was the role of the revisionists in the Vietnam Solidarity Campaign. From 1967 onwards thousands of students and youth in many were attracted by countries the heroic struggles of the and workers Vietnamese peasants. The revisionists of Purdie's group led the VSC into series of demonstrations, many of them irresponsible adven- political line tures, along which capitulated to Stalinism and ended in the virtual dis- solution of the VSC's fol- lowing. the death of Ho Chi On Minh, the politics of the IMG, and of Purdie in particular, were thrown into sharp relief, and it was a clash with the 'state capitalists' which pro- duced this clarification.

bureaucracy in the countries where that bureaucracy rules.

Ho Chi Minh, ever since the rise of Stalin, was always an opponent of such a view. Stalinism isolated the herioc military struggle of the Viet- namese people from the inter- national class struggle. In the advanced countries, the Stalinist parties pursued 'peaceful roads' and held back the proletarian revolution, even to the extent of joining the capitalist governments (in France) which suppressed the Vietnamese Revolution. Ho Chi Minh was one of the supporting pillars of this international Stalinist policy.

He could have fought con- sistently in the interests of the Vietnamese Revolution only leading Marxist by a (Trotskyist) opposition to international policy of this Stalinism. He did the exact opposite: the murder of the Vietnamese Trotskyists was part parcel of this counter-revolu- tionary Stalinist policy.

For Marxists, these political questions of the revolutionary role of the international work- ing class predominate over all military considerations. The Vietnamese Revolution has achieved mighty successes against the US military machine, of at the cost millions of lives. Apologist But these successes are im- perilled at every moment by world of the betrayals Stalinism, which has already sold the Vietnamese Revolu- tion once-in the 1954 Geneva agreements. Purdie is a thorough going for these Stalinist apologist betrayals. He says of Ho Chi Minh: •.. he kept before the eyes of his people the ends for which they were struggling, and despite the attempts of the world's mightiest powers, he resisted the temptation to compromise that ultimate end.'

This is a lie, and Purdie knows it is a lie. He is cynically using the genuine feelings of those who support the Vietnamese Revo- lution to wipe out the great political questions. The 'ultimate aim' without which the Vietnam struggle comes to naught is the world socialist revolution. That is why the Stalinists so ruthlessly attack Trotsky's theory of permanent revolu- tion--and they are now joined by Purdie. The struggle against im- perialism in colonial countries begins as like Vietnam 'bourgeois - democratic' one: its demands are national self- determination, democratic rights, distribution of the land.

But the only class which can lead the mass of the peasantry consistently to conquer power and achieve these aims is the industrial working class.

Because of this, working- aims are class or socialist posed. But these can only be achieved when the revolution in the colonial country merges with the world proletarian revolution. Outside this strategy, there is no way forward. This is what Permanent Revolution means: an unin- terrupted transition from democratic to socialist revolu- merging the workers' tions; rule in one country with the world socialist revolution.

Purdie and his friends have now gone over to an entirely anti-Marxist revisionist and conception of the relation between the colonial peoples' struggle and the international class struggle. It is only a matter, accord- ing to him, of a fight for national self-determination.

The Vietnamese peoples' struggle is only an 'inspiration' to socialists in countries like Britain. Purdie reverently refers to the building of 'a powerful 7.30 Newsroom, Weather. 8.00 Floodlit Rugby League.

established through sympathe- tic feelings, 'inspiration', and 'identification'. They are created by great objective historical forces, and in the first place by im- perialism. The epoch of wars and revolutions initiated by im- perialism at the beginning of this century created the international Class modern struggle. The political forces and leaderships which have arisen in the course of that struggle are objective realities. In the course of this devel- opment Stalinism came to pre- dominate, and Trotskyism emerged as the continuation of Marx, Engels, Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The only basis for politically guiding the revolutionary working class and youth of today is Trotskyism, based on this development of Marxist theory through every great struggle of the working class imperialism and against Stalinism. Purdie and the revisionists want to liquidate precisely this history and this political con- tinuity. revolutionary party is The founded revolutionary on theory, and so those who want to liquidate the party and the building of a new leadership find themselves revising every principle of Marxist theory.

It is appropriate that Purdie chooses the most disgusting hypocritical English middle- class language (and he has learned it well, as the Scottish middle always did). to class do the job. The abandonment of Marxist internationalism is the necessary accompaniment of accommodation to outlook of narrow reformist the Labourites. Reformist When Purdie concludes, It is because it is essentially human that our struggle is revolutionary ..:, he speaks in the language of every rotten Statesman' reformist of 'New or New Left vintage. This way of posing the question enables him to view the Vietnamese Revolution as heroic, 'human' a separate, struggle, to be 'identified' with, not analyzed in Marxist terms to strengthen the struggle Stalinism against and im- perialism. And so, when Purdie says that his grief will 'reinforce our determination to take he is revolutionary action', really revolutionary using phrases for anti-revolutionary ends. The middle-class feeling for 'action', impelled by feelings of identification' with the oppressed and with those who fight imperialism, is NOT. to be confused with the historical revolutionary role of the work- ing class, which arises from its objective needs and which requires the scientific concen- tration of the highest theory and worked-over experience. It is from this, from the implanting of Marxism in a whole generation of young workers, that the leadership revolution will built, and not from the middle- class protesters given a 'Marxists' coloration by Purdie and his friends. It is only around such Marxist, proletarian movement that the students and middle- class youth who come into conflict with imperialism can find their place. The building of such a against Stalinism movement, and against the revisionists whom Purdie represents, is our contribution the Viet- to world namese and the revolution.

OVER

ALL

Europe significant changes are taking place in the production and distribu- tion of food as big monopolies and large- scale capitalist farmers move in to take control. The housewife, who con- sistently has to pay out more in the shops and super- markets to feed the family, might be excused for thinking that the problem of European agriculture is one of scarcity.

This is far from being the case. Surplus food products are piling up and in some cases peasants and farmers are being paid by their governments to limit production. In fact there is a growing problem of agricultural over- production. At the same time many underpaid families, pensioners and others do not get enough to eat even in 'prosperous' Europe, while in the rest of the world millions are slowly dying from malnutrition. What, then, is really going on ? To start at the point nearest the consumer, the main trend is towards the concentration of a large proportion of retail trade in the hands of a few big chains and the rise of super- market trading. Many small shopkeepers are thus going out of business or are being hard pressed to compete. Within retail trade there is a big economy in the use of labour power and often ex- treme exploitation of the shop assistants. The products which are on sale in the stores are increas- ingly controlled by a handful of big firms which operate on an international scale. One after another, in all spheres of the food industry, old - established independent firms are falling under control of these giants.

EXTENSIVE

PENETRATION

General Foods, General Mills, Nabisco and other American combines have already exten- sively penetrated the European market. Many old, traditional brands conserve their names, but are produced by divisions of the international combines, either American or European, such as Unilever and Nestle.

Bitter struggles are now going on between these giants to take over the remaining independents, many of which are only too willing to sell out because they lack capital to expand and to adapt produc- tion to changing tastes. In the food business, enor- mous expenditure is devoted to advertising, promoting new products, such as 'convenience foods', and pushing one brand against another virtually identical one produced by a competitor. The concentration of capital at the processing and manu- facturing level has important effects upon producers. To a growing extent they have to work to the pro- cessors' specifications and ac- cept a contract price laid down in advance. The peasants and farmers in such cases merely become agents for the big combines and retain only an illusory independence. They cannot market their produce in- dependently and are thus in the hands of the big purchasers.

The changes going on in distribution and in processing and manufacturing require, therefore, big changes in agri- culture itself. For the past century or more European governments have, in various ways, ex- tended protection and assist- ance to peasants and farmers Tonight on all ITV channels the documeni of the American Indians.

for social and political reasons.

A large peasantry was seen as a counterweight to the urban proletariat and a sure reserve of support for conservative policies.

ARTIFICIAL

INFLATION

The agrarian sector was thus kept artificially inflated and the typical revisionist argu- ment that the laws of capitalist concentration did not apply to agriculture was given some sustenance. Now, with delayed action, the laws of capitalism are beginning to assert themselves upon European agriculture. At the same time, the European are abandoning governments support for the peasantry and coming out more openly as agents of the big monopolies.

It is now admitted, there- fore, that the agrarian sector must contract. Too much is being produced, surpluses are piling up and as large standards of cultivation rise and mechanization and chemi- THE capitalist class takes history seriously. Apart from the enor- mous amounts of money spent in maintaining university departments and serving academics, it never misses a chance to push its view of the past on television. In recent years we have had the American series of pro- grammes on World War Two and more recently still the BBC's attempt at World War One. There have been pro- grammes on the Russian Revo- lution, the inter-war years (called appropriately enough "The Lost Peace'), on the rise of Hitler and fascism, on the Boer War, on the Royal Air Force and many other subjects and periods besides. Hugely expensive in time, talent, technical and financial resources, such programmes often dig up a lot of revealing film. Much ingenuity and labora- tory skill is lavished on making the old film presentable and great effort is put into laying suitable sound effects and music. But behind it all often lurks the key figure of the historical advisor. Is the documentary Now That The Buffalo's Gone' Now out of all the great tribes only 600,000 Indian d areas in America.

Why this slaughter had to happen was never explained; it was all seen as some terrible inhuman mistake. Naturally the blame was never laid at the door of the capitalist system itself.

present peasant patchwork if this strategy is successful.

Of course, these intentions are not proclaimed from the housetops, nor is it certain that the politicians responsible for agrarian policy are con- scious of where the steps they are taking are really leading.

APPEAR

TO HELP

Some of the policies, indeed, are put forward in such a way that they seem to be helping the peasantry, while what they are really doing is to assist the big farmers at the expense of the small peasants and tenants.

An example which illustrates this, as well as the problem of over-production as a whole, comes from France, where, in accordance with Common Market policy, peasants are being paid to kill off their milch cows. At a £100 a piece for ten animals this puts the peasant in possession of a respectable sum of money. But, as Michel Bosquet puts At the moment work is get- way for another ting under major historical series in the BBC. This time it will be about the rise and fall of the British Empire. The programmes will not be ready for showing until late 1970 or early 1971, but a large staff with all facilities is already hard at it. The BBC is producing this series in association with the Time-Life empire •American and the budget involved for 12 shows is rumoured to be in the region of £250,000. So another major possibility to spread some real under- that period in standing of British capitalism's past, when it did its plundering and quite openly and pillaging frankly, looks like being used to create quite the reverse effect. * Unless the producers con- cerned take a staunch stand against the view which sees all one-time colonial peoples as ignorant and in- basically capable of self-government, we shall once again be treated to more flagrant and skilfully presented lies under the guise of historical objectivity.

A great opportunity which we can be sure the capitalist class will not wish to let slip.

How much of the real truth emerges in the programmes will depend firstly on the pro- ducers concerned and finally on the attitude of the bureau- cratic censors who attempt to decide what we should know.

it in 'Le Nouvel Observateur', when he leads his ten cows to the slaughter-house he signs his own death warrant. One of his main means of livelihood has now been dis- posed of. But the big farmer who keeps more than ten cows is paid a similar sum for each animal on condition that he keeps them, but does not sell their milk. This is intended to encour- age the production of meat, and especially veal, and helps the big farmer to make the necessary conversions. In other words, such measures favour the big spell ruin for farmers and many peasants.

In the same way, the de- Where we heard the regal tones of Sir Michael Redgrave and Sir Ralph Richardson over the film of 1914-1918, we now intimacy had the warm James Mason for China. Where no real sense was made of the causes and mean- ing of the First World War, now no proper understanding could be reached about these 50 years in the history of the Chinese people. But much did emerge of great value. Nothing new; for a Marxist nothing surprising.

But it proved impossible to tackle this great theme in a without being liberal way forced to acknowledge certain major facts. The continuing presence of Russian, French, Italian, German, Japanese and British imperialists inside China up to the day they were literally forced out came out clearly.

The 'nauseating thorough- ness' with which uprisings like the Boxer rebellion were suppressed by these same im- perialist forces was glimpsed.

There was no adequate account of the full role of these powers, however; only Japan was seen as the bestial foreign invader, not Britain.

* Yet the record of British capitalism, its army and other agents is equally bloodstained.

Similarly the programme made very clear that the Kuomintang of Sun Yat Sen and later of Chiang Kai-shek was always the party of the nationalist bourgeoisie, never of the revolution. On the other hand the com- mentary could merely express 'astonishment' that as late as 1927 Moscow ordered a con- tinuance of the united front between the communists and the Kuomintang - even after Chiang, in league with the imperialists, had massacred Chinese communists, workers and peasants in the North, in Shanghai and Changsa. No mention was made, of course, of the traitorous role played by Stalin and his agents like Lominadze and Neumann, in instigating the holocausts in Canton and elsewhere; no

EVERYBODY

IS HIT

Therefore growing monopoly control of processing and dis- tribution hits both the con- sumer and the small producer.

For the former, despite food and phoney price surpluses cutting, it means a steady increase in prices and often a deterioration in quality and choice. For the small producer it means a bleak future, struggle to keep the family property together and ultimate defeat. In general terms it proves that agriculture is no exception to the general laws of capitalist Thousands of communists met their death il a result of Stalin's unprincipled alliance witl Stalin still recognised Chiang as the leader o his portrait adjoining Chiang's on the front Manchuria. mention, as Trotsky put it, that it was precisely the defeat of the Chinese Revolution of 1925-1927, conditioned by the leadership of the Comintern, which prepared the conditions for the Japanese invasion.

No mention either of the position of Trotskv and the Left Opposition on the Chinése Revolution. No-it was merely 'astonish- ing', a sort of mystery. But Chiang's fear and hatred of communism was recognized as it was by American capital during the Second World War and after. This was another crucial aspect of the history which was glossed over. It was suggested that after being of necessity in alliance with the Chinese Red Army in the fight against Japan, America somehow realized that the future did not lie with Chiang. That recognition was forced on them; it was only reluct- antly accepted and then only temporarily. In the spring of 1946, after the Red Army had carried the worst of the war in the most appalling conditions, America had Chiang and the Nationalist army equipped and ready for the final showdown with com- munism. economy which now assert greater force themselves with because of the historical delay resulting from past govern- ment action to preserve the peasantry from the full rigours of the market. It underlines the anarchy of the capitalist market which the rise of big monopolies only intensifies. The scandals of the 1930s, about which there was so when corn was burnt in and oranges dumped in the sea, is being repeated today on an even larger scale. Scientists are searching for industrially profitable ways of 'surplus' food into turning industrial products. Powdered milk, for example, is being developed as part of a new surface for motorways.

Other foods are being de- natured or destroyed in Europe as well as in the USA to keep up the profits of the big combines. Already for some years in France, and to some extent in other countries, the peasantry and the small shopkeepers net their death in China in 1926 as pled alliance with Chiang Kai-shek.

Four million Kuomintang troops faced one million com- munist troops. Yet three years later Peking had fallen, the Chinese People's Republic was proclaimed and the imperialist Chiang was driven out to Taiwan. War had this time too turned out to be the mother of revolution (Trotsky). * None of this happened by accident or because America 'realized' it was backing | the wrong siae.

have reacted, recently, in the most violent desperate ways, against the fate which they sense is in store for them.

Mostly they hope to con- serve what they have and arrest the progress of mono poly advance by putting pressure on bourgeois govern- ments. Such methods can be of no avail. Not only an irresistible pro- cess, but the whole fate of European capitalism is at work. The elimination of a large part of the peasantry-two out of three according to some estimates for France-is now a necessity imposed by the competitive pressures of the world market.

INEVITABLE

SUBJECTION

The reduction in the num- ber of small shopkeepers and their further subjection to the needs of the big producers and wholesalers is equally inevitable. As part of the middle class, specifically of the petty- bourgeoisie, the reaction of these sections may well be to turn to the extreme right, to fascism. Events in France during the May-June days, when numbers of peasants, seeing the working taking the initiative, class gave their the support to movement, indicate that they can also be a reserve of support for the socialist revo- lution, given the correct policy and leadership. The readiness of the peasan- try to fight is an indication of lack of confidence in capitalist solutions. In an often confused way, they begin to understand that a political change is required Curopean Marxists therefore need to play close attention to the changes which are taking place, or which are in pros- pect, in the countryside as a result of capitalism's crisis.

It is necessary to return to the writings of and study Engels and Lenin on the sub- ject and to learn from • the mistakes and betrayals of the past. Referring to the proclama- tion of the People's Republic it said: "The 30-year struggle for China was over and the true Chinese Revolution was about to begin.' A revealing, liberal and intelligent programme. But in the end it served its share- holders well. ANOTHER set of share- holders were put out of their agony last week. After its total and public re-orientation towards profit rather than programmes _and the resignation of most of its best production staff, London Weekend Television announced its first-year trading figures (up to July 27). There was a pre-tax profit of £259,000. Trading profits altogether were £4.3 million. Of this £3.57 million was absorbed by the Exchequer advertising revenue levy on and another £500,000 by costs involved in the move to the new Thameside studios. Turnover was £12.4 million - about £400,000 above the figure expected. The chairman of LWT, Tory Aidan • Crawley, said profits were below original hopes. He said were rising and costs pleaded for a reduction in the advertising levy. Workers at LWT can there- fore look forward to big cut- backs and eventual redundan- cies; viewers can relax in the certainty that the choice has been made-profit every time.

A FINAL NOTE. A '24

Hours' team performed a small service for the working class last week. On the November 12 programme they showed film of the strike at BSR East Kilbride. The opening shot was a zoom in to a window in the offices. Behind management the curtain was a management man fliming all the pickets outside. He then coolly admitted that the film was for the Special Branch, to enable the law to identify any 'outside agitators'. The item also showed how management had hired scab labour to prevent giving union recognition. By giving even this coverage it reminded us of how little of the truth we usually see on television.
