Lenin w Anglii

Author(s): Mario Tronti / Language(s): Polish Issue: 20/2016

Lenin w Anglii to słynny tekst Trontiego otwierający pierwszy numer czasopisma „Classe operaia, założonego po tym, jak Tronti wraz ze współpracownikami zerwał ze środowiskiem pierwszego operaizmu skupionego wokół Quaderni Rossi. To właśnie w tym tekście Tronti sformułował słynny „kopernikański zwrot w marksizmie”, zgodnie z którym punktem wyjścia analizy rzeczywistości społecznej i historii kapitalizmu powinna być walka klasy robotniczej, a nie prawa rozwoju kapitału. Do zdefiniowania zwrotu popchnęła Trontiego przedstawiona w tekście diagnoza sytuacji włoskiej klasy robotniczej w latach 60. Kontrowersyjne tezy Trontiego i jego radykalna postawa wpłynęły znacząco na dyskusje prowadzone na radykalnej włoskiej lewicy i na działania wielu aktywistów w latach 60. i 70.

Pieniądz i zagregowany popyt w polskiej ekonomii marksistowskiej

Author(s): Damian Winczewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 35/2015

Rosa Luxemburg significantly expanded economic thought for the first time seriously putting the issues of effective demand and money in a capitalist economy. Although her attempts to unravel how capitalism expanded reproduction takes place in the universal acceptance were considered to be incorrect, but it was close to a good solution pointing to a possible role for the public sector and quite accurately guessing the role it plays in the dynamics of capitalism export. Her idea was developed by Michal Kalecki, who proved that private investment can drive economic situation developed capitalism, which by nature have a tendency to crash, as described in his simulations Henryk Grossman. However, Kalecki predicted that public investment and debt will save capitalism, that he had no illusions that these solutions except the crises and political offensive of the capitalists. The prospect of Kalecki is in most aspects in line with contemporary neo-chartalist monetary theory, which assumes stable growth thanks to the possibility of endogenous money creation by the state and commercial banks. But is it broader and more mature politically, because the polish marxists predicted that about the prospects of capitalism will not decide even the most realistic economic policies of the democratic government, but in fact not entirely predictable class struggle between the capitalists and the working class.

Rad i podela rada u delu Karla Marksa

Author(s): Miloš Perović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 26/2016

The concept of labour occupies the central place on which Marx grounds his philosophy. Marx’s understanding of division of labour is the basis of his criticism of capitalist system. Differentiating the positive from negative aspect of the division of labour, Marx emphasizes importance of relation between division of labour and private property as the central problem of bourgeois epoch. The commodity character of production is the basic cause of human alienation in capitalism. Liberation of the process of labour from the dictates of capital arises as a necessary condition of human liberation.

Marksovo razumevanje ideologije

Author(s): Tanja Golić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 26/2016

In this paper the author presents Marx’s understanding of ideology based on his critique of Hegel’s philosophy of law. In order to understand Marx’s concept of ideology, one must first understand his critique towards Hegel. It is the opinion of author that from Marx’s critique of Hegel’s philosophy follows the differentiation between rational ideology which conceals mystifications and which belongs to conclusive consciousness and ideology of spirit which reveals mystifications in speculative way of thinking in relation nature-spirit, finality- infinity. We will show what the true basis of ideology is and what conditions necessarily need to be met in order to overcome the alienation.

Samoupravljanje politička kultura, kultura

Author(s): Predrag Matvejević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 262/1980

Ideja samoupravljanja je na putu da pređe iz više iM manje utopijskog statusa u vrlo realne obMke. Taj prelaz, koji se kreće u više pravaca, idući od istraživanja do poMtičke formulacije, od zahteva do reaMzacije u praksi, omogućava razMčite definicije. Samoupravljanje se istovremeno ispoljava i kao shvatanje društvene organiizacije i kao nova poMtička kultura. U prostoru ovakve dvostrukosti javlja se više alternativa. Samoupravni projekt smera, na prvom mestu, da stvori nove odnose između pojedinaca u okviru preduzeća i zajednice, da bi doveo do usklađenog modela upravljanja i načina života. Obrtanje i i razdvajanje ovih premisa može prouzrokovati razne deformacije.

Marks autonomistów: poza dziewiętnastowieczną episteme

Author(s): Joanna Bednarek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 29/2012

The interpretation of Marx’s theory provided by autonomist Marxists aims at transcending the perspective of capital and adapting the perspective of labor. For this reason they offer the subjectivist, ‘minoritarian’ reading of Marx’s main concepts and decide to concentrate on class struggle instead of the objective laws of capital. The examples of this type of reading Marx that I chose to present are Antonio Negri’s discussion of the end of the law of value in Marx beyond Marx, Leopoldina Fortunati’s attempt to develop Marxist analysis of reproductive labor and Harry Cleaver’s description of the working class’ agency as the main force behind the capital’s development.

Czytelnicy Marksa, czyli powrót do teorii tradycyjnej: św. Jürgen

Author(s): Aleksander Zbrzezny / Language(s): Polish Issue: 29/2012

The paper concerns a (narrow, but significant) problem of changes in critical theory paradigm. The main question of this paper is whether we are still able to speak/think about critical theory, especially in case of contemporary authors – like Jürgen Habermas, who is often considered as a legal successor of the Frankfurt School. In the first part, the author shows some connections between Marx’s thought and critical theory. In the second part, the author discusses a specific way of misreading Marx’s works, mainly in The Theory of Communicative Action. The third part of the paper is dedicated to a problem of differences between the “old” critical theory and the new one, represented by Habermas. The author claims that rejection of historiosophy and Habermas’s critique of the term ‘teleology’ both are making theory more positive than critical. Another important difference is the relation theory – praxis, which becomes similar to the traditional theory. Finally, the author points that it is very difficult to speak about Saint Jürgen as a rightful continuator of critical theory.

Korzyść z Marksa w debacie na temat obiektów własności intelektualnej

Author(s): Bartosz Mika / Language(s): Polish Issue: 29/2012

The aim of this article is to identify the differences between literal – often superficial – using the achievements of Karl Marx and the real potential of the classic theory of socio-economic. The area of its application will be events and processes taking place in the area, generally speaking, the new economy. This literal use the creator’s thought of historical materialism is not indeed the most harmful. There are intellectuals who use the name of Marx as a tool for ideological struggle. For example, accusing supporters of “free software” infatuation with the Communism. So it is Marx’s theory and the person falsely useful to all those who contrary to the scientifi c interpretation of the thoughts the author of the Capital treat them as an “element of the practical doctrine”. Meanwhile, the legacy of Karl Marx has considerable – in our opinion – the explanatory potential. The current discourse related phenomena such as downloading music or video materials from the Internet is based on legal interpretations of property rights. This state of affairs is obviously not without influence on the shape of the debate from the perspective of sociological refl ection on society distorted image created by the legal doctrine. In this text we will try to demonstrate that the scientifi c description of empirical facts related to intellectual property rights can only benefit from the introduction to the elements drawn from Marx’s theory. A tool to make such an attempt would be a reinterpretation of the major categories in this debate on the basis of – derived primarily from the German philosopher – a category of property.

Crisis, Identity and the End of Modernity: When Critical Theory Met Existentialism

Author(s): Bojan Blagojevic / Language(s): English Issue: 16/2018

The topic of this essay will be the political reception of the existential thought of Kierkegaard, provided by Habermas and Matuštik. While Habermas attempts to use Kierkegaard’s concepts of honesty and ethical choice in order to resolve the problems in constructing rational and democratic collective identities, Matuštik is concerned with the mode of existence that individuals within those collective identities must assume in order to safeguard them from totalitarianism.Kierkegaard’s work responds to a crisis at the end of Modernity, his conception of the authentic individual compelled to make leaps of faith represents an attempt to diagnose and remedy the situation of axiological vacuum and disillusion with the traditional forms of justification. We will proceed to show how this crisis reflects on both the individual and the collective identities, the breaks and continuations of Kierkegaard’s work with both pre-Modern traditions and Modernity, and finally, point out the implications of Kierkegaard’s position as well as that of Habermas and Matuštik.

Capital and Marx’s Epistemological Revolution from Neue Marx-Lektüre to Political Marxism

Author(s): Ankica Čakardić / Language(s): English Issue: 2-3/2020

The paper discusses the thesis about Marx’s “epistemological revolution” by elaborating two issues that incorporate two entirely different contemporary Marxist traditions. To give this undertaking a more precise formulation, in its first part, the study examines the relationship between theory and history within the critique of political economy, proposed by Michael Heinrich under the tradition known as Neue Marx-Lektüre. It then turns to introducing the second part of the discussion related to the “commercialization model” of capitalist development, outlined by Robert Brenner and Ellen Meiksins Wood within the context of the so-called Political Marxism. A special emphasis is thereby put on the latter, since it deals with the contemporary nature of a few distinct epistemological and methodological novelties of the Capital, as well as some posited in the Grundrisse.
