(v) 1848: the bourgeoisie and the democratic state

MARX'S

earliest political writings had been concerned with explaining that the state, the sphere of politics, was the product of social relations and not their creator, and that, far from being the guarantor and embodiment of social unity and peace, it was the expression of the irreconcilability of social antagonisms. We have seen that 1848 en- abled Marx to go much further: he reached the historic con- clusion that the proletariat cannot simply transfer into its hands the bureaucratic- own military machine of the state, "smash' it and but must develop its own organs of state power. historical But the same turning-point which enabled Marx to make this theoretical conclusion for the proletarian revolution also posed a special problem for the relationship between the bourgeoisie and the democratic state, and the interrelation between these two problems the was to prove motive force in the political developments of the ensuing century. So threatening the was strength of the working class that the bourgeoisie every- where turned, after 1848, to a compromise with reaction. Of course, the economic impact capitalism's of continuing expansion was still fundamen- tally revolutionary: in opening up new markets and breaking up old social systems; in dis- solving old social forms within capitalist in countries; productive developing the forces; in concentrating and increasing the force of the proletariat. But politically 1848 was a major turning of the ways. We take up here two aspects of this historical watershed which are of great value in illustrat- ing the method of Marx in understanding social and poli- tical relations as fundamentally relations of class struggle: the connection between the ruling class in Marx's sense (the propertied class, in this case the bourgeoisie) and gov- ernment; and the precise analy- sis of the role of the small peasantry in the accession to power of Louis Bonaparte.

At the very point, in 1848, where the French bourgeoisie found it necessary to remove the sectional interests which restricted its full development through control of the July monarchy — a removal which took a Republican-democratic form, capable of momentarily uniting all classes beneath it— it was forced to engage in a political struggle with the proletariat which rendered this Republican democracy still- born, with similar consequences throughout Europe. The right-wing Party of Order, after the June 1848 insurrection, took the opportu- nity of branding as 'socialist' every democratic measure pro- posed in the assembly.

SECRETARY, SOCIALIST LI

186A CLAPHAM HIGH ST, L

Name Address 'This was not merely a figure of speech, fashion or party tactics. The bourgeoisie had true insight into the fact that all the weapons which it had forged against feudalism turned their points against itself, that the of education all means which it had produced rebelled against its own civilization, that all the gods which it had created had fallen away from it. It understood that all the so-called bourgeois liberties and organs of progress attacked and menaced its class rule at its social foundation and its poli- tical summit simultaneously, had therefore become and "socialistic" ... 'What the bourgeoisie did not grasp, however, was the logical conclusion that its own parliamentary regime, that its political rule in general, was now bound to meet with the general verdict of being like- wise socialistic. As long as the rule of the bourgeois class had not been organized completely, as long as it had not acquired its pure political expression, the antagonism of the other likewise could classes not appear in its pure form, and where it did appear, could not take the dangerous turn that transforms every struggle against the power of the state into a struggle against capital. 16 And because of this, the bourgeoisie had to be 'delivered from the danger of governing in its own name'. The deliver- ance was carried out by Louis Bonaparte, resting on the small peasantry. It is interesting once again to note that Marx attempts always to explain the necessity of every major historical ex- perience, and does not write history as a series of mistakes and inspirations. Not a theory out as predictions in worked advance, but the experience of the 1848 struggle and the abor- tive republic, was necessary to bring into the life of the bour- geoisie the realization of the historical turning-point great marked by the political bap- tism of its evil opposite and inescapable familiar, the pro- letariat. Only these experiences, reverberating through the life of the whole class and its sur- rounding petty - bourgeois could establish the strata, meaning of the new stage in history. It is this changed class con- tent of the 1848 revolution which explains its different course from that of 1789, and which confounds the search for a regular series of stages by the few historians and sociologists who have attempted explana- tions 'the revolutionary phenomenon'. In the first French Revolu- tion the rule of the Constitu- tionalists is followed by the rule of the Girondins and the of the Girondins by rule the rule of the Jacobins. Each of these parties supported itself on the more progressive party.

As soon as it has brought the revolution far enough to be 'Selected (16 18th Brumaire', Works' II pp. 361-362.) e information about below and send to NATIONAL

unable to follow it further, still less to go ahead of it, it is thrust aside by the bolder ally that stands behind it and to the guillotine. The sent revolution thus moves along an ascending line. It is the reverse with the Revolution of 1848. The pro- letarian party appears as an appendage of the petty- bourgeois democratic party. It is betrayed and dropped by the latter on April 16, May 15, and in the June days. The democratic party, in its turn, leans on the shoulders of the bourgeois - Republican party. The bourgeois-republicans no sooner believe themselves well: established than they shake off the troublesome comrade and support themselves on the shoulders of the Party of Order. . The Party of Order hunches its shoulders, lets the tumble bourgeois-Republicans and itself throws on the shoulders of the armed force.

It fancies it is still sitting on when, one its shoulders fine morning, it perceives that the have transformed shoulders themselves into bayonets. Each party strikes from behind at that pressing further and leans from in front on that pressing back. No wonder that in this ridiculous posture it loses its balance and, having made the inevitable. grimaces, collapses with curious capers. The revo- lution thus moves in a descend- ing line.'" In an important sense, the history of France since 1848 is the history of the French bour- geoisie's inability to find any permanent form of political rule for the protection of its class domination. Traditions Again and again, 'the Party of Order' must rear its head, restriction of democracy be- comes necessary, revolutionary again traditions once are resurgent in the working class, a new Bonaparte is sought.

While the Byzantine wing of Christianity is favoured in this way, Bibles and prayer-books Protestants and Catholics are in short supply. The deal works both ways.

In return for state patronage, the Orthodox hierarchy is ex- pected to promulgate the Stalinist line from its pulpits.

This is precisely what Lenin sets out to do in the 'Philo- sophical Notebooks'. He treads Hegel materialist- ically, and even though this work of 1914 remained only in note form, it is for Marxists the most important work on the dialectical method.

Most often seen on duty with the 'communist' President of Rumania are Patriarch Justinian (the Primate of the Rumanian Orthodox Church) and Dr Moses Rosen, Chief Rabbi of, Bucharest. The alliance between Stalin- ist state and Orthodox church is not just a ceremonial one.

Top-ranking prelates are 'elected', with Stalinist back- ing, to the Rumanian National Assembly, while leading mem- bers of the Communist Party's Central Committee regularly attend Easter services in Buch- arest Cathedral. And with the still backward Rumanian economy crying out for investment, the bureau- cracy has set aside over £4 million for the renovation of hundreds of churches through- out the country. * The official Stalinist press is under orders to strictly avoid anti - religious propaganda, while full reign is given to the obscurantists of the Orthodox hierarchy, which produces no fewer than nine "theoretical' journals. While the Byzantine wing of Christianity is favoured in this way, Bibles and prayer-books for Protestants and Catholics are in short supply. The deal works both ways.

In return for state patronage, the Orthodox hierarchy is ex- pected to promulgate Stalinist line from its pulpits So when the Kremlin's tanks crushed the 1956 workers' up- rising, in Hungary, Patriarch Justinian faithfully echoed the Stalinist slanders against the 'fascist counter-revolutionaries' of the Budapest Workers' Councils.

What 'mystified' the dialec- tical method of Hegel was his on to , idealism. For Hegel, the material world was only the externalized ex- pression of the development of the 'Absolute Idea'. For Marx, on the contrary, the concepts used by consciousness were the BUSY covering the just- concluded 13th Congress of Historical Sciences in Mos- cow was Jaime Sobreques Callico, special correspondent of the fascist Barcelona daily 'La Vanguardia'. One of the sessions he attended was devoted to a study of the life and work of Lenin. Another subject presenting "ideological' problems to both Callico and the Spanish his- torians present in Moscow was the Second World War, in which Franco's infamous 'Blue Division' joined with Hitler in the Nazi onslaught against the Soviet Union.

The division was only with- drawn from its murderous mis- sion when it became obvious Hitler had lost the war and his allies were certain to be dragged down with him. * With diplomatic relations now established between no fewer than five E European states and Franco, and talks in progress on a deal with the Kremlin, these exploits are to be passed over in shameful silence. Before he set out for Mos- cow (the Soviet capital was selected as the Congress venue: regu in 'honour' of the Lenin cen- tenary), Callico expressed the hope that Franco's team of historians would be the regime's largest ever. It was important to put on a good show for the

STRESSED

Marx and Engels always stressed that their settlement with philosophy was to 'stand Hegel on his head, or rather on his feet'. This is precisely what Lenin sets out to do in the 'Philo- sophical Notebooks'. He 'reads Hegel materialist- ically, and even though this work of 1914 remained only in note form, it is for Marxists the most important work on the dialectical method. Without question, a thorough acquaintance with Hegel's 'Logic', through the work of Lenin, is central to the resolu- tion of the great theoretical tasks facing the Fourth Inter- national. bureaucracy, whose Polish sec- tion helped to break the miners' strike last Asturian winter. Tongue firmly in his cheek, this fascist concluded: 'We hope to give much daily more detailed information on the vicissitudes of the Con- gress when we get back from Moscow. We are sure that our experiences will go beyond the framework of the Congress.

'If we set off with some prejudice, this is only admira- admira- tion and sympathy; tion for the technical and of the scientific progress USSR; sympathy for the people who built these with its own efforts. Admiration and sympathy are a good basis for uniting peoples.' brings Every day new reports from Spain of workers for taking strike arrested action to improve their miser- able living and working con- ditions, and for the right to organise in trade unions inde- pendent of the fascist state.
