Internationalist Discussion Forum

For several years, different elements in Russia, either in isolation or belonging to organised groups, have undertaken a search for a revolutionary political coherence. This situation is in some ways comparable to what happened in Western Europe during the period that followed the social struggles of May 1968 in France. It testifies to the proletariat’s ability to create from within itself revolutionary minorities, including in a region of the world where it has suffered the most from the world counter-revolution, in its Stalinist form. This historical ability of the world proletariat to tend towards the recovery of its revolutionary consciousness, through the reappropriation of its history by its minorities, is also to be found today in Germany, the other country where the proletariat suffered most heavily from the effects of the counter-revolution.
