Communization

The theory of Communisation emerged in the 1970s in France. The theory describes the idea of a revolution (ie, a classless society ) is produced without the Karl Marx considered necessary rule of the working class communism. All existing communist and workers' parties are rejected, a private organization which is not established.

History

The term Communisation was theorized in the 1970s in France by " ultra-leftist " intellectuals. The term reflects the desire of these intellectuals expressed a communist revolution without a transition phase to want to do ( rule of the working class). The theorists of Communisation see their theory as a development councils communist approaches. In the pamphlet A world without money from 1975 states: "Rebellion and Communisation are closely linked. It will not be a first phase of the revolt, to which then, later, thanks to this uprising, the transformation of social reality follows. The insurrectionary process draws its power from the Communisation itself " This view presents itself as the alternative to statism and against vanguardism of the Leninist conception of the revolution represents the Russian Revolution and the Revolution in China allegedly failed, because a lack of action taken to cancel capitalist social relations (eg, lack of direct collectivization, continued existence of money). The State also the workers' state was based, supposedly always on capitalism (money, capital, wage labor ) and am therefore be repealed:

"One can foresee that a movement of the Communisation which destroyed the state, undermining the social base of the enemy and propagates through the effect of irresistible attraction, triggering the birth of new social relations between people, the revolutionary camp much better together than any power which, while it is waiting to conquer the world before it is kommunisiert, would not behave differently -. a State "

The term is used in France Communiste still and by the translation of texts from Gilles Dauvé, Théorie and others now also used in other languages ​​in this sense.

In cooperation with other left communists such as François Martin and Karl Nesic Dauvé tried to bring together different radical leftist tendencies to criticize and develop, for example, the Italian movement, which has been associated with Amadeo Bordiga, the journal Invariance of Jacques Camatte, German - Dutch council communism and French movements such as Socialisme ou Barbarie and the Situationist International. His main interest is theoretical discussions on economic issues affecting the controversial failure of Marxism of the Second International ( social democratic and Leninist currents ), the world revolutionary uprising in the 1960s and its subsequent resolution and the developments of the global capitalist accumulation and class struggle.

The Journal Théorie Communiste is another theoretical source of Communisation. In contrast to the approach Dauvés, Théorie Communiste was for the Communisation not always possible, but was made possible by the " restructuring " of capitalism in the 1970s. Along with various magazines, groups and individuals who are close to this theory, they give out the international journal Sic.
