AS WE said at the start of this series, the great danger facing Marxists is that they will tend especially at a time of money crisis to concen- trate merely upon the forms assumed by the class struggle at a particu- lar period of capitalist development. Such a method is idealist in content in that it does not start from these forms in their relationship to the overall processes and ten- dencies operating in the economy and in the class struggle but sees them as isolated forms 'in themselves'.
This, of course, is the method of the revisionists.
The Pabloites and state capitalists starting from their scepticism and lack of con- fidence in the working class, developed 'theories' to show that capitalism had, in the post-war years, found ways of overcoming its basic con- tradictions. Thus the Pabloite theory of neo-capitalism and state capi- talist theory of the 'permanent arms economy'. We shall examine the im- plications of both these theor- ies in more detail later. But we can note their similarity at this stage in one vital respect. Both of them, inspired by the apparent strength of the Stalinist and Social-Democratic bureaucracy after the war, took certain isolated features of capitalist development and on this narrow basis erected theories which 'proved' that the building of revolutionary parties to lead the working class to the overthrow of capitalism was not on the immediate agenda, if it was on the agenda at all. In opposition to this middle- class, anti-Marxist method, we always insisted upon an all- round analysis of capitalism, which took into account all its forms of development and related them to the deepening crisis of a system in its de- cline and death agony. Only in this way were we able to prepare a movement which can now enter the new period of class struggle as a powerful and decisive force.
Stalinist betrayals The first point we have to insist upon is that the capitalist economic 'revival' after 1945 not so much upon was based 'economic' as 'political' factors.
It was only the conscious be- of Stalinism that trayals allowed capitalism, particularly in France and Italy, to over- come the acute social crisis that followed the end of the war. Without Stalinism there would have been no post-war boom. And if we are to under- stand the real nature of this period we must start not from the workers' apparent apathy —or rather large sections of the working class-but from its great strength. For it is this strength which has dominated all economic and political re- lations. For in order to try and pre- vent a recurrence of the 1930s slump as well as to maintain its rule in the face of a power- ful and revived working class, capitalism was forced to adopt new economic policies which involved the adoption of in- flationary measures to stave off a crisis. eventually Agreement was reached at the 1944 Bretton Woods conference to give the dollar a privileged position in the international monetary system. This meant that the provision of international credit necessary to revive the crisis- torn European economy, was made an American respon- sibility. But while these arrange- ments, which also involved tying the value of all curren- cies to that of the dollar, pro- vided the basis for a large Fill in the form below and s

The role played by money in capitalist economy, at both an international and a national level is crucial. It is not merely a device to overcome the prob- lems associated with barter.
On the contrary, only if the system can find an adequate commodity in which the sur- plus value embodied in com- modities can be realized prior to the re-entry oî capital into the circuit of accumulation, can it avoid being plunged into grave crisis. The stability of 19th century capitalism was, in the monetary founded largely upon sphere, gold and the operation of the gold standard, along with the role of sterling and the City of London. Crisis and decline Bretton The attempt at the Gold Woods to replace Standard, which had collapsed with the crisis of the 1930s, reproduce the could never stability of the pre-1914 period.
For although American capital- ism had now replaced Britain as the leading economic power, it did so in a period when capitalism as a whole system was in acute crisis and decline.
The constant drive of American capital abroad - it- self associated with the attempt to overcome the contradictions involved in the tendency for the rate of profit to fall-has with it a growing brought balance of payments crisis for America.

It was then that the Ameri- began to can payments gap grow at a rapid rate, the gold reserve began to fall particu- larly when considered against the growing volume of dollars circulating throughout Europe, the result of private and gov- ernment investment. The examination of inflation also leads to a consideration of the role of arms expenditures.
Abandoning Marx in favour of Keynes, the state capitalist re- visionists of the 'International Socialism' group explained that the increasing arms expendi- tures which occurred after the outbreak of the Korean War now played a role in perma- nently stabilizing capitalism.
In a certain sense the manu- facture of arms does play a role which is different from 'normal' the production of For with commodities. arms the 'realization problem' (that is the problem of actually realizing surplus value through the sale of commodities on the market) largely disappears, in- that arms contracts are variably provided by the state.

For arms expenditure has certainly been one of the main factors stimulating the infla- tionary pressures at work in the capitalist economy over the last 20 years.

Only : uge dollar devaluation or ar Within certain limits such an imbalance could be toler- But the last few years, especially since the November 1967 sterling devaluation, have seen a severe crisis of confi- dence among leading circles in the capitalist class. They are faced on the one hand by the prospect of monetary break- down and on the other by a confident working class able to make considerable inroads into the available surplus value.
In this situation 30 billion or so dollars circulating in Europe, two-thirds of which are unbacked by American gold, become an increasingly volatile factor in the situation. Only through the forcible destruction of the great major- ity of this paper money, along with a similar proportion of the increased paper share values built up during the boom, can the value of gold in the world monetary system be forced into line with the value of commodities. Finally we can consider the nature of the technical changes which have occurred over the period. In the eyes of the Pabloites, and particularly Mandel, the changes in industrial tech- niques over the last 30 years constitute a 'third industrial revolution' and have laid the basis for what they choose to call 'neo-capitalism'. Complete rejection As we have many times pointed out, this conception constitutes a @mplete rejec- and tion of Marxim more particularly of leninism.
Lenin insistec that imperial- ism marked thi highest stage of capitalism, tat at this stage all its progrssive features were exhaustedand that there could be no allround develop- ment of man'sstruggle against nature withou the establish- ment of socialim. •Fo talk abat a new phase or stage of déelopment (neo- capitalism) is b reject Lenin's economic analsis of imperial- ism and the olitical conclu- sions which fiwed from it.
What, in fat, is the real role of the chages in produc- tion methods which occurred in many indusies during and after the last war, together with the crop ‹ new industries also derged in the which period, many if them stem- ming directly from the war economy? They were dtainly import- ant in attractig new capital which, with th assistance of the state, was den transferred from the old ring industries like railways, cil and textiles.
As such, the played their part in initiatin the post-war boom. But thejmust also be examined fron a different angle. If we start ot from the temporary and rative stability of capitalism alany point in time, but from its absolute contradictions is clear that all the technicalhanges of the post-war years, ir from pro- viding capitalisn with a new lease of life andonstituting a further developent of the productive force in fact in- creasingly threat these pro- ductive forces wi destruction.
By speeding v even more the drive towardthe central- ization and conntration of capital they furer heighten the contradictionetween the increasingly socized nature of production an its private appropriation andontrol. But above all, ese changes in technique andirganization which have mard the last three decades, teaten the most revolutional and vital component of th productive forces, the workinglass itself.

american price level. Only: uge dollar devaluation or a relationship demanded by the law of value. Within certain limits such an imbalance could be toler- ted in an expanding system natice general pee ormance c But the last few years, especially since the November 1967 sterling devaluation, have seen a severe crisis of confi- dence among leading circles in the capitalist class. They are faced on the one hand by the prospect of monetary break- down and on the other by a confident working class able to make considerable inroads into the available surplus value.
In this situation 30 billion or so dollars circulating in Europe, two-thirds of which are unbacked by American gold, become an increasingly volatile factor in the situation. Only through the forcible destruction of the great major- ity of this paper money, along with a similar proportion of the increased paper share values built up during the boom, can the value of gold in- the world monetary system be forced into line with the value of commodities. Finally we can consider the nature of the technical changes which have occurred over the period. In the eyes of the Pabloites, and particularly Mandel, the changes in industrial tech- niques over the last 30 years • 'third industrial constitute revolution' and have laid the basis for what they choose to call 'neo-capitalism'. Complete rejection As we have many times pointed out, tiis conception constitutes a omplete rejec- tion of Marxim and more particularly of leninism.
Lenin insister that imperial- ism marked th highest stage of capitalism, tat at this stage its progrosive features were exhaustedand that there could be no allround develop- ment of man'sstruggle against nature withou the establish- ment of socialim. To talk abat a new phase or stage of deelopment (neo capitalism) is b reject Lenin's economic analsis of imperial- ism and the lolitical conclu- sions which fleed from it.
What, in fat, is the real role of the chages in produc- tion methods which occurred in many induses during and after the last war, together with the crop d new industries which also cherged in the period, many of them stem- ming directly from the war economy? They were otainly import- ant in attractig new capital which, with th assistance of the state, was den transferred from the old ting industries like railways, cal and textiles.
As such, the played their part in initiatin the post-war boom. But theymust also be examined from a different angle. If we start ot from the temporary and rative stability ot capitalism afany point in time, but from its absolute contradictions itis clear that all the technicalhanges of the post-war years, er from pro- viding capitalisn with a new lease of life andionstituting a further developent of the productive force in fact in- creasingly threat these pro- ductive forces wil destruction.
By speeding 4 even more the drive towardthe central- ization and conintration of capital they furer heighten the contradiction etween the increasingly socizzed nature of production an its private appropriation andontrol. But above all, ese changes in technique andrganization which have mard the last three decades, teaten the most revolutionar and vital component of thiproductive forces, the workinclass itself.
Not only doeshe use of atomic energy for ir and war preparations threat the whole of humanity with estruction; increased iensity of the mechanization, in period of growing capitalist stability, produces a socia crisis of : proports which enormous cannot be containewithin the confines of thcapitalist economy. These points shol make it clear that it is imssible to grasp the real naturnd depth of the forces now lag gener- ated by the presentrisis and which are often low the immediate surface society.
These forces catonly be understood by wors who, as part of their sggle to defeat capitalism bbuilding the revolutionary pa, study Marxism and in articular "Capital'. Saturday, October 31, 1970

- - A national newspaper recently warned: 'Argue and do as you wish, comrades, but know that this winter we must have enough to eat and fuel to warm ourselves' The prices of bread and many other basic items have recently been raised sharply. Despite the inflation, industrial production is stagnating and the backwardness of agriculture has by been aggravated a poor harvest. The monetary system is moving out of control, with an 18 per THE POMPIDOU regime last week took an important step in intensifying the repression against the left wing in France.
Immediately after the vicious 20-month sentence passed on Left' leader Alain *Proletarian Geismar in the Paris Court of State Security, case was brought against Gilles Boulay (19) following a clash between demon- police and the strators Boulevard St Germain in Paris' Latin Quarter on October 20.
He was accused in the ordinary criminal court under article 314 of the penal code. article was amended by This a hastily-presented parliamentary to provide Bill in June for criminal proceedings against any- one who participates in a demon- stration resulting in violence.
They face prison sentences of up to five years 'without pre- judice to more severe penalties provided by the law'. Though Boulay is only one of hundreds of young people arrested for political activity during the last few weeks, the case against him has an excep- tional importance. He was picked out of a group of about 50 demonstrators and made a scapegoat for 'crimes' which, under this law, need only be committed by other, uniden- tified, people. These legal weapons are the envy of governments in 'demo- cratic capitalist states all over the world. ing military installations on the during joint Mediterranean Franco-Spanish exercises — was the first of an expected series of 'introductions' to the capitals of Europe. He was greeted with great cordiality by Pompidou, who appeared to have forgotten his recent eulogy the 100th anniversary of the French Repub- lic, one of the first acts of which was to ban the house of Borbón- Orleans from any claims to king- ship in France, and will certainly receive an equally warm welcome from the other professional W European 'democrats'. * One of the advantages of Juan Carlos as successor to Franco is that (through his marriage to Princess Sophia, of the Royal House of Greece) he has already provided himself with a son and heir.

The balance of payments has considerably worsened over the last 18 months and the plan to make the direr a convertible next year has been currency indefinitely posponed. The 1971- plan 1975 economi cannot possibly be stated in January.
Symptoms ofthe bureaucracy's inability to pin the economy competently, an even to control their own megbers, are every- where. Vinko Hafne,' Vice-President of the Slovian government, has pointed out tha 'The income i 85 per cent of the members o the League Communists is aove the average.
The Party has biome an aristo- cracy deaf to te calls of the workers.' As well as prileges for Party members, specution and sheer corruption are o the increase.

The pressure and difficulties of the Yugosl: economy, still backward and xposed to the of overroduction and crisis competition one world market, cannot be haned by a bureau- cratic intent on apparas securing its on privileges.
The strugglof the working class in Yugoslia and E Europe to take power om the hands of bureaucracy takes the greatest encougement from the European 'orkers' W growing battles againstapitalism.

However, he is widely believed to be a man of limited intelli- gence. The government took the sen- sible precaution of giving him a strictly military training — as a consequence of which he is an honorary lieutenant in all three armed services-rather than sub- mitting him to the rigours of university life. To his task of improving rela- tions with the Stalinist govern- ment of E Europe, Lopez Bravo has added that of (political) hand- holder to Juan Carlos. Lopez Bravo's own acuity is beyond question, and was recog- nized by even his bitterest enemies in the fascist administra- tion when rumoured proceedings against him in connection with the Matesa financial scandal (which claimed the head, among others, of Navarro Rubio, ex- Governor of the Bank of Spain) came to nought.
