The book of Karl Korsch 'Marxism and Philosophy, pub- lished the same as Lukács' 'History and Class Con- sciousness', in 1923, has, in the same way, become a bible of the 'New Left', the SDS in particular.
This is not by chance. Equation The equation of Stalinism and Bolshevism which has become the stock in trade of any 'New Left' intellectual, is here anti- cipated by the equation of Bol- • shevism and social democracy!
Indeed, Korsch attacks not only Kautsky as the chief repre- sentative of the Second Inter- national, but also Lenin, equat- ing his 'Materialism and Empirio- criticism' with Kautsky's world outlook of mechanical material- ism. Lukács buries his criticism of Bolshevism in a footnote.
But his attack on Engels' 'Dialectics of Nature'-an integ- ral part of Bolshevik philosophy -is quite open. He states that the dialectic exists only in the history of man.
Yet Marxists have always insisted that man is an integral part of nature. Kantian Lukács took up an agnostic, fundamentally Kantian -- not Hegelian position towards In this he has nature. been followed by prominent several fellow travellers of Stalinism.
In his essay 'Materialism and Revolution' (1946), Jean-Paul Sartre asked how left-wing intel- lectuals could maintain their relationship with the Stalinist Party-the cornerstone of their radical reputation without sacrificing their intellect, as Aragon and Garaudy had done.
His answer was to abandon the essence of Marxism and 'support' the working class simply moral, Kantian on a Stalinist basis through the Party. In the crudest anti-communist manner Sartre equates Engels' dialectical materialism with the mechanical materialism of Stalin.
Materialism He that Engels, implies because his insistence on materialism, was the forefather of Stalinism! What then is the essence of Lukács' 'earlier emphasis on the subjective element in Marxism', praised in the review? It is pure Kantiar and not subjectivism, at all a materialist posing of the problem of revolutionary leader-

Lukács—self-styled life-long anti-Stalinist partisan' ship as the title of the book, History and Class Conscious- ness', would suggest. The reviewer suggests that Lukács' book breathes the revo- lutionary optimism of the year 1923. such But optimism should have been based on the incom- parable revolutionary situation in Germany. This did not predominate at all in the Third International in that period. Its chairman, Zinoviev, and the German CP Brandler secretary were undecided and pessimistic. Stalin even gave the advice 'We must hold back the Germans'. Hesitations Through this policy of hesita- tions the extraordinary oppor- tunity of taking the power in Germany was lost (see Trotsky 'Lessons of October', 'Strategy and Tactics' and Through What Stage Are We Passing?'). This defeat turned out to be the first step in the consolida- tion of the Stalinist bureaucracy.
EXACTLY 50 years ago, on May 5, 1920, two Italian- American anarchists, Nicola Sacco, shoemaker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, fish peddler, were arrested with- out evidence in connection with a robbery with murder case in West Bridgewater, Mass., USA. The story of the seven-year legal battle which sent them to the electric chair on August 23, 1927, is told with masterly pre- cision in this book. If ever there was doubt that Sacco and Vanzetti were inno- cent men, then this book must dispel that doubt. What becomes clear is that despite the massive international campaign mounted by the social- ist and labour movement for their release, conscious deception involving vast layers of the US judiciary state officialdom and prevented this. Proof That they were anarchists was, to the police and others, adequate proof of their guilt. Evidence was suppressed and witnesses carefully manipulated to secure conviction. All of this is reconstructed by Ehrmann in his day-to-day account of the events between the crime and 1927, in a manner which leave: no doubt. Those who deny that the state is an instrument of the capitalist class should read this book.
Even • before it became the predominant factor in the pre- paration of new defeats for the working class, the bureaucracy was the reflection of the defeats of the international proletariat after the First World War.
First big blow The failure of 1923 in Ger- many also marked the first big blow against those who later were to form the Left Opposi- tion and who, in the summer of 1923, at the head of the Soviet enthusiastically looked forward to the 'German Octo- ber'. Lukács has never belonged to them. No connection could be established here. On the contrary. He was later to become such a sub- servient bootlicker of Stalin he had because formed his theories in the aftermath of the defeat of the Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919. None of the Hungarian CP leaders had been able to assim- ilate this defeat and to analyse
SACCO
This case is an example of the lengths which the state machine is prepared to go to destroy those who fight to eman- cipate the working class from capitalism. This is not to suggest that the author of the book, who was a junior defence lawyer in the case from 1925-1927, opponent is an of the capitalist judicial system.

The blatant travesty of justic n the Sacco and Vanzetti cas worries him because: 'Our civilization can protect itself against open attack on its rinciples by those who den hem, but cannot long withstan‹ desertion by those who affirm them.
