Proletarians! Comrades!

First of May 2012:  the crisis gains momentum and is hitting hard, all over the world.  Soaring unemployment, widespread precariousness, pensions cut or annulled, growth in the cost of living, the lives of proletarians turned upside down and massacred.  In return they promise us an imaginary future (when the crisis is behind us!), a wondrous rise in employment and salaries: in exchange, of course, for accepting all the “necessary sacrifices” today!  The same old tune that the right- and left-wing bourgeoisie, national unions and minor unions have always sung us in all its possible variations.

As part of our ongoing work of remembering the great episodes of central importance to the history of the communist and workers’ movement – episodes mostly forgotten or manipulated by opportunism – the following article recalls an event of great portent, unfortunately negative from the point of view of the final outcome and its consequences, despite the extraordinary proletarian mobilisation by which it was characterized.  The 1926 General Strike in Britain was also the ground on which the ruinous practices of the Communist International began to be felt and experienced, at the beginning of what was not just a simple decline but the abandonment of real class politics.

For at least four years now, with increasing intensity and in an ever more complex pattern of development, we have been living in a profound crisis of capitalist over-production.  The bourgeoisie itself judges this crisis to be greater in terms of depth and effects to that of 1929, which goaded the huge campaign of repression following the international defeat of the proletarian revolution (1922-1927) for the whole of the ‘thirties, culminating in the second world bloodbath.  The following brief crisis of 1974-’75 closed the cycle of post-war accumulation: “a golden age”, as it is often described.

The disaster of the capitalist mode of production is taking on clearer and clearer contours: the catastrophe is maturing.  Indifferent to the scornful little smiles we meet with at the mere mention of the word, we communists have always taken a “catastrophic” view:  in other words we know that catastrophe is the inevitable end to a mode of production such as the capitalist one, which unceasingly exalts the forces of production, subordinating them at the same time to the law of profit and forcing them into the straightjacket of bourgeois social forms.
