A few score of these make up a village, and a few score of villages make up a Depart- ment. the great In this way, mass of the French nation is formed by simple addition of homologous magnitudes, much as potatoes in a sack form a sackful of potatoes. In so far as millions of families live un- der economic conditions of existence that divide their mode of life, their interests and their culture from those of the other classes, and put them in hostile contrast to the latter, they form a class. 'In so far as there is merely a local interconnection among these small peasants, and the identity of their interests begets no unity, no national union and no political organization, they do not form a class."

Origin Whereas the proletariat's economic origin constantly leads it into a common struggle, binds it into closer internal relations, forces it to undergo radicalizing experiences in in- dustry through the develop- ment of the productive forces (science, communications, tech- nique), and thrusts it towards the necessity of its independent political expression this common experience as a class, in 'a form possessing a general social force of compulsion', the opposite is true for the small peasants. The inexorable revolution- the conditions of ization of production' in the bourgeois epoch certainly affects the pea- santry, but, in contrast to the proletariat, in such a way as to ('Marx, "The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte', in Selected Works, Vol. II pp. 414-415.)

dissolve or at least to divide it as a class: some become bigger farmers, but others go down into the proletariat; or, char- acteristically, peasant agricul- ture declines and stagnates at the side of big industry and large capitalist farming for whole historical periods, and the members of this class eke out their living and protect their 'independence' in sharper and sharper opposition to the other members of their own class. Collective From time to time they organize collective struggles and protests, which even on the largest scale issue in defeat and despair so long as they are not combined with the development of the proletarian revolution. What then is the character- istic political reflection of the class nature of the small pea- santry? Marx answers: "They are consequently in- capable of enforcing their own class interest in their own name, whether through parlia- ment or through a convention.

They cannot represent them- selves, they must be repre- Their representative sented. must at the same time appear as their master, as an authority unlimited over them, as an governmental power that pro- tects them against the other classes and sends them the rain and the sunshine from above. "The political influence of the small peasants, therefore, finds its final expression in the executive power subordinating society to itself.' And this small peasantry is the explanation of the latest and highest phase of the devel- pment of an executive powel of state standing above the classes in France. Thus: 'And yet the state power is not suspended in mid-air.

Bonaparte represents a class, and the most numerous class of French society at that, the small peasants." ('Ibid.) ('Ibid.)

WEEKLY COLUMN

The potential in the working class of political independence, of its social force achieving an expression which is not simply an affirmation of its oppressed position, which is not used simply to develop quantita- tively the existing tendencies in the political life of capitalist society, but can bring about qualitative, revolutionary a transformation, is the essence of the problem around which the development of Marxism in this _century has centred, that of working-class con- sciousness and revolutionary leadership. Consciousness What immediately suggests itself is that the working class will require a consciousness which cannot be derived

experience in economic own and day-to-day struggles.

The political tasks posed before it require a historical and analytical critique of the whole field of social structure and culture, of the economic, and ideological political ten- in all classes inten- dencies tionally, for it is the inter- course between all these classes at all levels which decides the total framework within which the life and struggles of the working class develop nation- ally and internationally. 'Working - class conscious- ness', conceived in relation to the historical needs and tasks simply as the sum of the con- of workers, in sciousnesses this sense coincides with the development of Marxism itself, ior the latter is a conscious striving to reflect scientifically all the life-processes which determine the course of the struggle of the proletariat.

'Ideology' This is not the same thing as sayıng that Marxism is an 'ideology' of the working class.

Indeed the contrary is the case: it is the very necessity of the working class's tran- scending, abolishing its own mode of existence, that ex- Plains its imperative need for consciousness which em-

In Defence of Marxism P. 16 Available from NEW PARK PUBLICATIONS, 186a London, S.W.4 Saturday, August 8, 1970 A political leadership is never the automatic reflection' of the economic needs of the class. 'Men of Politics' Political parties and tenden- cies are formed at the level of the political superstructure, and 'men of politics' take their stamp from the prevailing forces in that sphere so long as they are not engaged in con- stant and conscious struggle against it with an explicitly critical and revolutionary theory and practice. 'Only vulgar "Marxists" who take it that politics is a mere and direct "reflection" of economics, capable of are thinking that leadership reflects the class directly and simply.

'In reality leadership, having risen above the oppressed class, inevitably succumbs to the pressure of the ruling class.

The leadership of the Ameri- can trade unions, for instance, "reflects" not so much the pro- letariat, as the bourgeoisie.'

Implicit in Trotsky's re- marks is the basic point which he himself had so strongly emphasized in his 'Literature and Revolution': the notion of 'economic base - ideological superstructure' applicable is only at the level of society or socio-economic formation: To reduce it to the scale of a particular class, as if the latter had its 'own' base and superstructure is to mutilate the theory. Character While the conditions of life and experience common to a particular class give a distinc- tive character to the habits and opinions of its members, it must be borne in mind that the ideological superstructure of the whole society, developed as a reflection and at the same time an instrument of the domination of the ruling class, is concentrated into very ideological and political mani- festation in the society, includ- ing the spontaneous reactions of the oppressed classes.

If this were not the case, revolution would be an auto- matic growth, whereas it is in fact the product of, on the one hand, objective economic contradictions, and, on the other, the resolution of an ideological and political crisis in the midst of the revolution- ary class itself, in which the old ideological forms are thrown aside and the objective character of the contradictions is perceived.

Even within the present Stalinist leadership, Chater is con- spicuous for his ultra-Fabian and anti-Leninist outlook. At a public Stalinist meeting earlier this year (on the Lenin Centenary things!) he argued heatedly that the founder the Third of Bolshevism and International would have given his full support to the 'constitu- tional road to socialism' were he still alive today. And on another equally in- famous occasion, Chater publicly advocated giving full political rights to Tories-even Powellites —after the over throw of capi, talism in Britain. If this is the 'dictatorship of the proletariat', then clearly the Tories have nothing to fear from the British Communist Party!

In fact the programme of the British CP has been transformed into its opposite over its 50 year history. Those Party members awaiting the volumes of James Klugmann's official 'History of the CPGB' dealing with the emer- gence of the 'British Road' are probably in for a long vigil.

Two volumes The History was begun after the Party's 1956 Congress. Since that date two volumes have appeared covering period from its foundation in 1920 up to the General Strike of 1926.

So six years of actual Party history have taken approximately twice as long to unearth and record! At this rate —and he has shown shown no signs of accelerating- Klugmann will reach the Moscow Trials by 1990, the Stalin-Hitler Pact by about 1995, and the drafting of the 'British Road' in the year 2020. (Mathmaticians will already have noted that as Klugmann is being overtaken by history at the rate of six months per year, his 'History of the CPGB' will never reach the present.) Fortunately, these and other landmarks the history British Stalinism - which Klug- mann nears with such under- standable timidity - are already well-documented in the just- published book 'Stalinism in Britain', by Robert Black.

Published by New Park Pub- lications at 22s 6d soft cover and £2 hard cover, this book of 440 pages throws a revealing light on how the CPGB made the tran- sition from its 1920 founding convention, so full of enthusiasm promise, to the reformist fraud which today poses as Britain's Communist Party.

Neither Klugmann nor any Stalinist for that matter can write the true history of the British Communist Party. They are all deeply involved in its betrayals and crimes. That is the reality behind the 50th Anniversary charade.
