(Don't know if it was ever "great" but nobody can argue that isn't shit 
right now.)


In a final death knell for the once-great magazine, Newsweek has stooped 
in recent days to printing crackpot conspiracy theories about chemical 
weapons in Syria.

So much for Gaddafi's "anti-imperialism" which received so much praise 
by the Stalinist and semi-Stalinist "left"!

As it is, background checks and non-gun-related laws (such as
counter-terrorism statutes) already prevent any serious dissident group
from amassing weapons that could be used for the purpose of overthrowing
the government, which is what I presume some revolutionary leftists want
gun rights for. If someone wants guns for that purpose they will face a
formidable opposition regardless of whether or not the government regulates
access to assault rifles or small arms by "average Joes". That is, for the
purpose of violating the laws or overthrowing the government, the reality
is that any group that wants to do that would probably have to flout the
law (and the government enforcing it) anyway. Moreover, any such group that
has any shot at being successful would have to be able to galvanize the
masses through politics. If that were the case, and such a movement decided
to arm itself, having already amassed political power, it would be able to
do so regardless of what statutes say because it would be in a position of
political authority (unlike a disconnected individual who wants to buy a
gun for personal reasons, whatever those may be). The gun statutes are
about whether random individuals -- including opponents of any sort of
revolution, such as right-wing extremists, gun nuts, ex-military people,
anti-Communist militiamen, etc -- can simply go into a store or a gun show
and buy weapons. Worse, because right-wing groups aren't subject to the
same scrutiny from law enforcement when it comes to "counter-terrorism",
they will be able to use their superior finances to actually stockpile
weapons for the purpose of preventing any sort of violent leftist
overthrow.

Obviously much of the debate is mediocre and exploitatively uses the school
shootings to inflame passions, even though most gun violence does not take
place in the form of mass shootings. But that is true of any political
campaign and doesn't really say anything about the reasonableness of the
demands.

I think it is fair to say that there should be some reasonable restrictions
on buying a gun. Certainly, the revolution needs cars, but we don't oppose
driver's license requirements or bans on drunk driving?

Thinking out loud.

Big conference in Germany organized by neo-Nazis brings together Russian 
nationalists and Ukrainian right (Pravy Sektor and Svoboda). As I 
pointed out in my review of "A Sniper's War", the Ukrainian fascists 
have embraced the main demands of the Donetsk separatists: opposing NATO

I cannot speak for you, but I am guessing that you support some restrictions on 
access to arms.  Eg., would you support the right of individuals to go into a 
retail outlet and buy a grenade launcher?  Or a surface-to-air missile launcher?

[Marxism] request for speakers

This is a request to find speakers at the Left Forum meeting coming up this
June in New York for a panel I want to organize.


From the labor movement to the Civil Rights Movement to today, there has
long been a debate among socialists and, in fact, within the working class
about how to relate to the Democratic Party. The rise of DSA makes this
issue more central once again. It seems to me that there are three
different points of view:


One is that attempts to build an alternative have all failed and,
therefore, we should continue working within the Democratic Party to
strengthen it’s progressive wing. When and where we can, we should run our
own candidates as Democrats.


Another is that, yes, we need an alternative but we don’t have one right
now. We should work to build an alternative party and, meanwhile, support
at least some Democratic Party candidates. In fact, we can run our own
candidates on the Democratic Party ticket.


The third is that the weakness and confusion of the working class in US
society is epitomized by the absence of a working class party. Concrete
steps can and should be taken right now to build such a party. It is not
possible to start down that road while supporting ANY Democrats or running
candidates on the Democratic Party ticket.


The third is my view. I am looking for DSA members and/or union officers or
activists to represent the first two points of view (with myself
representing the third) in what I hope would be an important open
discussion. If anybody would like to do so, or has ideas for somebody who
might, please contact me.

[Marxism] Russia, Turkey's new best friend, prevents Assad-YPG deal on Afrin

Louis reported earlier that the YPG now denies there was any deal to
allow Assad troops into Afrin to end the Turkish offensive. Lots of
claims and counter-claims, clearly negotiations behind the scenes and
everyone trying to save face.

Yet what now seems clear is that it was not Assad, or the YPG, that
prevented the deal - it was Russia, at the behest of its ally Turkey.
The pro-Rojava twittersphere is now furious with its former ally
Russia:

"There was an agreement largely concluded between YPG and SAA but it
failed due to fierce Russian opposition. There are no more talks.
Russia is all in for Turkey"
https://twitter.com/agire_cudi/status/965690147948855297

"Russia is responsible for the failure to reach a deal with the
government up until now. Russia wants us to lay down our weapons. The
government wants to fight alongside us."
https://twitter.com/CivilWarMap/status/965689110911479811

While that might not seem to even make sense, it is indicative of how
far several geopolitical factors have changed.

As I reported yesterday, Turkey seemed to favour the deployment of
Assad forces into Afrin, and it had been a long-standing demand of
Russia on the YPG to accept the regime into Afrin, if Russia were to
prevent the Turkish attack. The Turkish FM made clear Turkey has "no
problem" with Assad taking control of Afrin as long as the regime
effectively sidelines the YPG (eg, disarming them etc), but would not
accept it if Assad helped the YPG.

While accepting any Assad presence at all was already a big compromise
from the YPG, and while it was planned to be mainly low-key and
symbolic, no doubt Assad aimed to use this presence to more gradually
re-take Afrin from the YPG, it seems that for Turkey this was not
enough - Turkey, however ironic it may sound, wants a more forceful
Assadist presence in Afrin! In other words, the neo-AKP regime
(essentially now an AKP/MHP Turko-nationalist regime) only sees the
YPG as an enemy, no longer even pretending that Assad was a problem
(when in opposition to the AKP till 2015, the MHP opposed both the
AKP's half-hearted peace process with the PKK, and opposed Turkey's
support for the anti-Assad cause).

For Assad, agreeing to have a symbolic presence in Afrin was just a
beginning, but a shrewd one - why go in and have to confront a Kurdish
insurgency when the YPG has never been in revolt against the regime,
and Turkey is doing the job of weakening them anyway? Better to go in
an deal with a weakened YPG and have the upper hand in bargaining,
while reducing its power later. It also gave Assad the opportunity to
pose as a defender of Syria's borders, offering to aid "resistance" to
Turkey. Assad probably also bargained that offfering to "help" the YPG
in its hour of need might enable his regime to press the YPG/SDF on
its US-backed control of oilfields in the east, in Deir Ezzor, where
Assadist and US/SDF forces have been in open armed conflict recently.

Yet neither Iran nor Russia - Assad's two key allies, who are however
also Turkey's two partners in the Astana "peace" process - saw things
quite the same way. For its part, Iran, despite being at odds with
Turkey's overall Syria policy, sees the Kurdish issue the same way
Turkey does; and since the US has offered up its presence in Rojava in
alliance with the SDF in the east as the alleged cornerstone of its
alleged "anti-Iranian" policy in Syria (which, in terms of geography,
makes no sense, but it is about rhetoric and face, nothing else), Iran
sees the weakening of the SDF and a conflict between US-backed SDF and
NATO state Turkey as a good thing.

More crucially, Russia has seemingly decided that its new alliance
with Turkey is more important than its alliance with Assad, and put a
stop to the Assad-YPG deal on Turkey's behalf, at least until Turkey
gets a better deal. That really is full circle - two years ago, the
YPG formed an alliance with Russian imperialism to help them conquer
rebel-held, Arab-majority northern Aleppo; today the same Russia
stands solidly with Turkey (and even anti-Assad ex-rebels) against the
YPG, even if it conflicts with Assad.

But in fact, this is not only about Turkey being "bigger" than Syria,
or about the advantages of pulling Turkey away from the US and NATO,
or about large-scale Russia-Turkey economic cooperation, with gas
pipelines etc. While all relevant, the fact is Putin knows that he and
Assad owe one to Erdogan, and sees Assad acting recklessly. A week or
so ago, Turkey deployed its forces into Idlib, not to help the rebels
it backs fight Assad's horrific offensive there, but rather to
consolidate the dividing lines - Assad gets east Idlib, the rebels get

[Marxism] a workshop on the Far Right

If you are interested in speaking at this workshop in Toronto on the Far 
Right, please send me an abstract in the next 2 weeks or so. Raju (Raju 
J Das, York University)


*.*

*Rethinking United Fronts and the Far Right in the Contemporary World:*

*The Crisis of Bourgeois Rule and the Weakness of Anti-Capitalist Politics*

The ascendance of the Far Right across the world – from the US to India 
– is prompting, among other things: a) a concern that fascism, in one 
form or another, is returning to political life; and b) inclinations 
among those in countries facing such developments to confront, as in the 
past, the transformations with united or popular fronts, linking various 
progressive movements, parties, and Left political orientations.


Debate has already begun as to the benefits and drawbacks of this 
approach, based mostly on history.  This day-long workshop, *Rethinking 
United Fronts and the Far Right in the Contemporary World,* seeks to 
explore both the class character of Far Right movements (both in terms 
of the structural conditions of its existence and the class position of 
its foot soldiers) as well as the class nature of the political 
opposition that is required to confront it. In particular, it will 
examine whether and how the factors and the conditions in the 
/contemporary/ world bearing on evaluations of united fronts – and 
the very possibility and potential nature of such fronts today – are 
similar to and are different from those in the past. The workshop will 
also ask on what basis might such fronts extend their reach beyond the 
struggle against the Far Right and nascent fascism to broad progressive 
social and political transformation.


To be held at York University, Toronto,*July 20-21, 2018*, the workshop 
(as part of the Augmenting the Left series) will draw together a cohort 
of scholars and activists, based in North America, who will speak to 
these complex issues that are in urgent need of elaboration.  It is 
organized by the York research collective, ‘Critical Scholarship and 
Social Transformation’ (http://criticaltransformation.blog.yorku.ca/).



BACKGROND
We start from the assumption that the Far Right’s ascendance and opening 
toward fascism represents a crisis of world capitalism: the crisis of 
democratic-secular politics, and the hegemonic project of the 
bourgeoisie as well as the crisis of the bourgeois economic 
system, dominated by financial capital. Other attributes include the 
failure of social-democratic or other forms of bourgeois-reformist 
politics, and the weakness of Left movements, including those on the 
communist-revolutionary Left: indeed, the power of Far Right movements 
is inversely proportional to the power of the working masses.


As originally conceived by some on the Left earlier in the Twentieth 
Century a popular front strategy involved communist organizations 
combining their forces with other progressive organizations, including 
bourgeois organizations. The united front was a strategy where workers, 
belonging to the communist Left, keeping their organizational identity 
intact, were meant to combine with social democratic workers to strike 
against fascism in a united fashion; this process was seen as an 
inevitable part of the fight to establish socialism and would expose the 
bourgeois character of social-democratic reformist leadership. The 
united front was to be a springboard; a defensive strategy, which was 
meant to be ultimately transformed into an offensive strategy against 
bourgeois class rule itself.


Revolutionary practice requires revolutionary ideas. The united front is 
arguably also an intellectual project - and not just a political one - 
that might transform through history. United fronts do not just come 
about on their own.  They require prior intellectual imagination 
demanding answers to serious questions. Seeking unity across various 
anti-Rightist forces makes sense to many observers today, but one must 
ask: on what terms?  One must also ask: with or without the context of 
an “exceptional historical conjuncture,” how should various progressive 
forces today relate to one another? There is also the question about 
what happens after the defeat of the far Right? This implies that 
Marxist-oriented thought ought to keep selectively returning to 
the critical engagement with non-Marxist thought, something that Marx 
himself was committed to as seen in his close study of bourgeois 
economists like Ricardo. In his /On the Significance of Militant 
Materialism/, Lenin also gave a call for such an engagement, arguing 
that revolutions are not made by communist revolutionaries

Graeber:

"While in the early days of the Syrian revolution, Arab communities too

Syrian anarchist named Omar Aziz, the militarization of the conflict had 
very different effects; where in the Kurdish areas, the revolutionaries 
created their own militias, the People’s Protection Forces (YPG) and the 
Women’s Protection Forces (YPJ), most of the secular, left revolutionary 
organizations in the rest of Syria made a conscious decision not to join 
the armed struggle, leaving that to military defectors who made up the 
Free Syrian Army, then, increasingly, to Islamist militias armed and 
supplied by outside powers such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar."


What unmitigated bullshit. The "secular, left revolutionary 
organizations" in the rest of Syria focused on providing social services 
to neighborhoods and entire cities under siege. To help keep them from 
being annihilated, the FSA defended them as best they could.


In fact, if it wasn't for the FSA, these Bookchinite experiments could 
never had happened since Assad was trying to buy time. He allowed them 
to take place until his air force was finished exterminating East 
Aleppo, Homs, Ghouta, et al. Now, he will do the same thing to the
