  24. Pankhurst, Sylvia: Force-Feeding a Suffragette
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1915
  25. Pankhurst, Sylvia: The New War
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1919
    Soldiers who enlisted, or were conscripted, for the old war have been quietly kept on to fight in the new war which began without any formal declaration. They have not been asked: “Do you approve this war; do you understand it?” They have merely been detained and will now fight against their comrades. Officially the British Government is not at war with Socialism in Europe though in actual fact British and other Allied soldiers have been fighting it for a long time, and British money and munitions are keeping the soldiers of other governments in the field against it.
  26. Pannekoek, Anton: After the War Ends
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1917
    When the soldiers return to their homes, new misery and new want are grinning at them. Awful as have been the sufferings that war has brought, in one respect the lot of the proletarians is still worse in times of peace. In war times the workers are needed; the bourgeoisie needs their enthusiasm, their willingness to sacrifice, their good will – the spirit of the army is an important factor in warfare. Money, therefore, becomes a secondary consideration, subservient to the aims of the war; aid and assistance are granted with unaccustomed liberality. The working class suffers, it is butchered, but those at home at least maintain a certain livelihood. That ceases with the coming of peace. The workers are not longer needed as soldiers; they are no longer comrades, defenders of the fatherland, heroes. Once more they become beasts of burden, objects of exploitation. Let them look for work, if they are hungry.
  27. Pannekoek, Anton: Class Struggle and Nation
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1912
    Does the bourgeoisie really have an interest in putting an end to national struggles? Not at all, it has the greatest interest in not putting an end to them, especially since the class struggle has reached a high point. Just like religious antagonisms, national antagonisms constitute excellent means to divide the proletariat, to divert its attention from the class struggle with the aid of ideological slogans and to prevent its class unity.
  28. Pannekoek, Anton: The Failure of the Working Class
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1946
    Capitalism cannot be annihilated by a change in the commanding persons; but only by the abolition of commanding. The real freedom of the workers consists in their direct mastery over the means of production. The essence of the future free world community is not that the working masses get enough food, but they direct their work themselves, collectively.
  29. Pannekoek, Anton: General Remarks on the Question of Organisation
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1938
    Organisation is the chief principle in the working class fight for emancipation. Hence the forms of this organisation constitute the most important problem in the practice of the working class movement. It is clear that these forms depend on the conditions of society and the aims of the fight. They cannot be the invention of theory, but have to be built up spontaneously by the working class itself, guided by its immediate necessities.
  30. Pannekoek, Anton: The German Revolution - First Stage
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1919
    Through its rapidity and unanimity the revolution rested on the surface of civil society and could not as yet penetrate into the depth of the great masses.
  31. Pannekoek, Anton: Hope in the Future
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1912
    Socialism’s development also depends on the normal nature of capitalism, its most intimate essence. Nevertheless, of this development as well that want to hear nothing. They want an abnormal capitalism, unnatural, a capitalism that would be made to endure eternally.
  32. Pannekoek, Anton: Irish Communist Policy
    Letter to Sylvia Pankhurst
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1922
    The belief that some foreign power, the State, may accomplish it for the workers by decrees and laws is a social-democratic belief — nay, only the most narrow-minded social democrats believe it; most social democrats in former times knew quite well that the chief force of transformation must come from below. The programme of the Communist Party of Ireland is not only non-Communist because it appeals to the State for everything, but also because it asks from this State only reforms.
  33. Pannekoek, Anton: The Labour Movement and Socialism
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1908
    Unions and political organizations each have their role in the struggle against capitalism.
  34. Pannekoek, Anton: Lenin as Philosopher
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1938
    Since the importance of Lenin’s philosophy is so strongly emphasised in Leninist organizations, it is necessary to make it the subject of a serious critical study. The doctrine of Party-Communism of the Third International cannot be judged adequately unless their philosophical basis is thoroughly examined.
  35. Pannekoek, Anton: Letter to Socialisme ou Barbarie
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1953
    Councils are not only the means by which workers will exercise power after the taking of social power by the workers; we consider them as also being the organisms by means of which the workers will conquer this power.
  36. Pannekoek, Anton: Marxism as Action
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1915
    Now is the time to bring to the fore the other part of Marxism which has been so neglected; now, when the workers movement must find a new direction, in order to overcome the narrow views and the passivity of the old era, if it wants to overcome the crisis. Men must themselves make history, or else history will be made by others for them. Of course, they cannot build without taking the circumstances into account, but they build nonetheless.
  37. Pannekoek, Anton: Marxist Theory and Revolutionary Tactics
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1912
    If the party saw its function as restraining the masses from action for as long as it could do so, then party discipline would mean a loss to the masses of their initiative and potential for spontaneous action, a real loss, and not a transformation of energy. The existence of the party would then reduce the revolutionary capacity of the proletariat rather than increase it. It cannot simply sit down and wait until the masses rise up spontaneously in spite of having entrusted it with part of their autonomy; the discipline and confidence in the party leadership which keep the masses calm place it under an obligation to intervene actively and itself give the masses the call for action at the right moment. Thus, as we have already argued, the party actually has a duty to instigate revolutionary action, because it is the bearer of an important part of the masses’ capacity for action; but it cannot do so as and when it pleases, for it has not assimilated the entire will of the entire proletariat, and cannot therefore order it about like a troop of soldiers. It must wait for the right moment: not until the masses will wait no longer and are rising up of their own accord, but until the conditions arouse such feeling in the masses that large-scale action by the masses has a chance of success.
  38. Pannekoek, Anton: Materialism And Historical Materialism
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1942
    Marxism is not an inflexible doctrine or a sterile dogma. Society changes, the proletariat grows, science develops. New forms and phenomena arise in capitalism, in politics, in science, which Marx and Engels could not have foreseen or surmised. But the method of research which they formed remains to this day an excellent guide and tool towards the understanding and interpretation of new events.
  39. Pannekoek, Anton: The New Blanquism
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1920
    The revolution can only issue from the masses, and it is only through the masses that it is carried out. The Communist Party has forgotten this simple truth and, with the insufficient forces of a revolutionary minority, it wants to do what only the class can do, in such a way that the consequence will be defeat, which will set back the cause of the World Revolution for a long time, at the cost of the most painful sacrifices.
  40. Pannekoek, Anton: Party and Class 
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1936
    The belief in parties is the main reason for the impotence of the working class; therefore we avoid forming a new party—not because we are too few, but because a party is an organization that aims to lead and control the working class. In opposition to this, we maintain that the working class can rise to victory only when it independently attacks its problems and decides its own fate.
  41. Pannekoek, Anton: Party and Working Class
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1936
    We are only at the very earliest stages of a new workers' movement. The old movement was embodied in parties, and today belief in the party constitutes the most powerful check on the working class' capacity for action. That is why we are not trying to create a new party.
  42. Pannekoek, Anton: The Politics Of Gorter
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1952
    In the years after 1920, Gorter in contact with the small groups of the extreme left, worked to clarify the idea of the organisation of workers councils and thus collaborated in the future renewal of the class struggle of the proletariat. During this time the socialist politicians of the second international, as members of parliament and ministers, were occupied in bailing out a bankrupt capitalism for the bourgeoisie.
  43. Pannekoek, Anton: The Position and Significance of J. Dietzgen’s Philosophical Works
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1902
    A thorough study of Dietzgen’s philosophical writings is an important and indispensable auxiliary for the understanding of the fundamental works of Marx and Engels. Dietzgen’s work demonstrates that the proletariat has a mighty weapon not only in proletarian economics, but also in proletarian philosophy.
  44. Pannekoek, Anton: Public Ownership and Common Ownership 
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1947
    Under public ownership the workers are not masters of their work; they may be better treated and their wages may be higher than under private ownership; but they are still exploited.
  45. Pannekoek, Anton: Religion
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1947
  46. Pannekoek, Anton: Social Democracy and Communism
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1919   Published: 1927
    Once again, as in the time of Marx, communism as a revolutionary and proletarian movement confronts socialism as a reformist and bourgeois movement. And the new communism is not just a new edition of the theory of radical social democracy. As a result of the world crisis, it has gained new depth, which totally differentiates it from the old theory.
  47. Pannekoek, Anton: Socialisation (Part I)
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1920
    Marx never spoke of socialisation: he spoke of the expropriation of the expropriators.
  48. Pannekoek, Anton: Socialisation (Part II)
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1920
    Socialism cannot be achieved by avoiding the class struggle. Socialisation which is devised to spare the profits of the capitalist class cannot be a path to Socialism.
  49. Pannekoek, Anton: Socialism and Religion
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1907
    In declaring that religion is a private matter, we do not mean to say that it is immaterial to us, what general conceptions our members hold. We prefer a thorough scientific understanding to an unscientific religious faith. But we are convinced, that the new conditions will of themselves alter the religious conceptions, and that religious or anti-religious propaganda is unable to accomplish or prevent this.
  50. Pannekoek, Anton: Socialization 
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1919   Published: 1920
    Socialization according to Bauer's recipe is legal expropriation without economic expropriation, it is what any bourgeois government might propose. The capitalist value of enterprises will be paid to the employers in compensation and henceforth they will receive in interest on bonds what they formerly received in profit. This socialization replaces private capitalism with State capitalism; the State takes on the task of sweating profits from the workers and giving it to capitalists.
  51. Pannekoek, Anton: Society and Mind in Marxian Philosophy
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1937
  52. Pannekoek, Anton: State Capitalism and Dictatorship
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1936
    One can raise the question : is not state capitalism the only “way out” for the bourgeoisie ? Obviously state capitalism would be feasible, if only the whole productive process could be managed and planned centrally from above in order to meet the needs of the population and eliminate crises. If such conditions were brought about, the bourgeoisie would then cease being a real bourgeoisie.
  53. Pannekoek, Anton: Strikes
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1948
    State power acquires now an important function in organizing business life. In the devastated Europe it takes the supreme lead; its officials become the directors of a planned economy, regulating production and consumption. Its special function is to keep the workers down, and stifle all discontent by physical or spiritual means. In America, where it is subjected to big business, this is its chief function. The workers have now over against them the united front of State power and capitalist class, which usually is joined by union leaders and party leaders, who aspire to sit in conference with the managers and bosses and having a vote in fixing wages and working conditions. And, by this capitalist mechanism of increasing prices, the standard of life of the workers goes rapidly downward.
  54. Pannekoek, Anton: The theory of the collapse of capitalism
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1934
    Struggle is never simple or convenient.
  55. Pannekoek, Anton: There are Reforms and There are Reforms 
    Or, Two Sorts of Reforms
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1908
    Those who believe that we will manage to gradually realize socialism by social reform within the current regime misunderstand the class antagonisms that determine reforms. Current social reform, having as a goal the preservation of the capitalist system, finds itself in opposition to the proletarian reform of tomorrow, which will have the contrary goal: the suppression of the system. The organic connection that exists today between reform and revolution is completely different. In fighting for reform the working class develops and makes itself strong. It ends by conquering political power. This is the unity of reform and revolution.
  56. Pannekoek, Anton: Theses On The Fight Of The Working Class Against Capitalism
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1947
    Extension of the strike to ever larger masses, the only tactics appropriate to wrench concessions from capital, is fundamentally opposed to the Trade Union tactics to restrict the fight and to put an end to it as soon as possible. Such wild strikes in the present times are the only real class fights of the workers against capital. Here they assert their freedom, themselves choosing and directing their actions, not directed by other powers for other interests.
  57. Pannekoek, Anton: Trade Unionism
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1936
    The narrow field of trade union struggle widens into the broad field of class struggle. But now the workers themselves must change. They have to take a wider view of the world. From their trade, from their work within the factory walls, their mind must widen to encompass society as a whole. Their spirit must rise above the petty things around them. They have to face the state; they enter the realm of politics. The problems of revolution must be dealt with.
  58. Pannekoek, Anton: The Universal Crisis
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1920
    That deafness and blindness concerning the coming dissolution of Capitalism is the historic fatality of the bourgeoisie. But the mass of workers are also blind and deaf to this dissolution. They regard the march of events without understanding, and without knowledge. To hope that the collapse of Capitalism will find a proletariat revolutionarily prepared and conscious of its mission is now shown to be utopian. The collapse proceeds too rapidly, events spring too suddenly before the eyes of men for them to be able to adopt their minds to the new realities. That, however, does not mean that they will do nothing.
  59. Pannekoek, Anton: Why Past Revolutionary Movements Have Failed 
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1940
    The working class is going into this war burdened with the capitalistic tradition of Party leadership and the phantom tradition of a revolution of the Russian kind.
  60. Pannekoek, Anton: Workers' Councils 
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1941   Published: 1947
    Now the goal becomes distinct; opposite to the stronger domination by state-directed planned economy of the new capitalism stands what Marx called the association of free and equal producers. So the call for unity must be supplemented by indication of the goal: take the factories and machines; assert your mastery over the productive apparatus; organize production by means of workers' councils.
  61. Pannekoek, Anton: Workers Councils (1936 article)
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1936
    Fighting for freedom is not letting your leaders think for you and decide, and following obediently behind them, or from time to time scolding them. Fighting for freedom is partaking to the full of ones capacity, thinking and deciding for oneself, taking all the responsibilities as a self-relying individual amidst equal comrades. It is true that to think for oneself, to think out what is true and right, with a head dulled by fatigue, is the hardest, the most difficult task; it is much harder than to pay and to obey. But it is the only way to freedom. To be liberated by others, whose leadership is the essential part of the liberation, means the getting of new masters instead of the old ones.
  62. Pannekoek, Anton: World Revolution and Communist Tactics
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 1920
    World war and rapid economic collapse now make revolution objectively necessary before the masses have grasped communism intellectually: and this contradiction is at the root of the contradictions, hesitations and setbacks which make the revolution a long and painful process.

    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    First Published: 2009
    While most academics would agree that a university should be a place where critical debate is fostered, what is academic freedom when the freedom to attend classes without being bombed isn't even assured? Academic freedom falters it seems when it comes to Palestine, whether in the Middle East or in North America. Not only is there no realizable academic freedom for Palestinians, but also, even in North America, students and faculty raising critical viewpoints about Israel find themselves muffled, accused of anti-Semitism, threatened with disciplinary action, or, in the case of former Depaul University professor, Norman Finkelstein, out of a job entirely.

She says that when we do come face to face with female violence we whitewash it (Aileen Wuornos being one example, Lorena Bobbitt being another). She makes the case that if we don't take a serious look at female aggression and what we think we know about it we put more people at risk.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
