Bu bölümde İzmir grevinden yola çıkıyor ve tarihte işçi hareketinin farklı dönemlerinde, burjuva toplumunda demokrasinin kökenleri, dinamikleri nelerdir sorusuna cevap arıyoruz apacikradyo.com.tr/podcast/haki...

Hani şu "sağ ne yaparsa yapsın kültürel hegemonya kuramayacaktır" laflarını edenlere, İzmir'deki grev dolayısıyla, hem de "muhalif" kesimlerde gündeme gelen yaygın işçi ve grev düşmanlığını, grev kırıcılığını göstermeli, hatırlatmalı. Sağ yapmış işte yapacağını, daha ne yapsın...

İzmir'deki greve dönük aleni işçi düşmanlığı, sosyalistlerin rejim karşıtı demokratik muhalefeti büyütmek için mücadele ederken aynı zamanda bu genel muhalefet içerisinde bir hegemonya mücadelesi vermesi gerekliliğinin neden ertelenemez önemde bir husus olduğunu acı bir biçimde hatırlatıyor

19 Mart sonrasında gelişen ve siyasi güç ilişkilerine etki eden halk hareketinin önemli bir özelliği ve belki de zaafı, "yapısızlığı". Bu halk hareketinin forumları, yerel meclisleri, dayanışmaları, koordinasyonları, ona belli bir bütünlük ve süreklilik sağlayacak yapıları yok.

By 1970, Maoism (often called Marxism-Leninism, and sometimes Third World Marxism) was, in many Western cities, the most influential organised force in the radicalisation. Yet by 1980, Maoism in the West had all but evaporated. What happened? marxistleftreview.org/articles/let...
