This issue of International Socialism contains an overview by Tim Potter of some of the rapid changes taking place in the European Communist Parties today.

Chris Harman: The crisis last time

As capitalism ages, it finds it more and more difficult to overcome the pressures leading to stagnation and deep crises. Its efforts to do so involve measures that are in themselves increasingly devastating to the system and those who live in it.

Alienation is the core of capitalism. Under this system people treat each other not as ends in themselves, but as mere means; not as people, but as objects. This also applies to sexual relations both in the bourgeois and in the proletarian family. But from the fact that women of all classes are alienated one should not draw the conclusion that they all react in the same way to this alienation. On the contrary, in the final analysis the proletarian woman is spurred on by it to revolution, the bourgeois to reaction.

Recent developments in the Labour Party seem to have strengthened the case of those who argue that the left can make real gains by working inside mass social-democratic parties. Many Labour Party members believe it is actually possible for the left current in the Party to grow in strength and influence until it dominates the whole Party.

A review article of A. Glyn & J. Harrison, The British Economic Disaster (Pluto Press, London 1980, £2.95); and CSE London Working Group, The Alternative Economic Strategy (CSE Books, London 1980, £2.50)
The two books under review have been well timed. Having barely recovered from the slump of 1974–75, British capitalism is now in the throes of an even more abrupt decline.

Tim Potter: The death of Eurocommunism

The last two years have seen the major West European Communist Parties enter an immense collective crisis – certainly the biggest in their history since the break up of the Stalinist myth in 1956. The symptoms of the crisis are easy to spot: the Communist Parties of Spain, Italy and France are all losing members and votes. All are wracked by internal questioning or public disagreement. None have been able to develop any coherent strategy for the problems facing them in the eighties.
