Synopsis

This book argues that doing away with wage-labour, class, the State and private property is necessary, possible and can only be achieved by a historical break, one that would certainly differ from October 1917... yet it would not be a peaceful, gradual, piecemeal evolution either. Like their historical predecessors - Marx, Rosa Luxemburg, Anton Pannekoek, Amadeo Bordiga, Durruti and Debord - the authors maintain a belief in revolution. This third English edition is updated to take into account the contemporary political situation; half is new material.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Born in 1947 Gilles Dauvé has worked as a translator and a schoolteacher. He is the author of essays and books on the Russian, German, and Spanish revolutions, and on democracy, fascism, war, morals, crisis, and class. In English, his texts What Is Situationism? and Fascism/Anti-Fascism (both written under the pseudonym Jean Barrot) have led a legendary existence in the samizdat pamphlet underground.

Born in Algeria in a family of European settlers in 1941, François Cerruti (pen name 'François Martin) evaded the draft and supported Algerian independence. After 1962, he worked in a self-managed factory and was a member of the local section of the Trotskyist Fourth International. The 1965 army putsch forced him to go to France, where he had to do his military service. While a soldier, his participation in a mutiny sent him to jail for a few months. In the 1968 general strike, he was involved in the worker radical minority, and later active in "libertarian communist" or "ultra-leftist" or simply communist circles.
