Readings on the theory of labour aristocracy:

A substantial restatement of Lenin's theory with reference to the USA
is 'The Labor Aristocracy: The Material Basis for Opportunism in the
Labor Movement', by Max Elbaum and Robert Seltzer, Line of March,
May-June 1982. Only the first, more general, part seems to be online,
marked up by Ben Courtice, who on this list, so he might tell us if the
rest is/will be available.

In Australia, Jon Strauss is doing a doctorate applying this theory to
the politics of the Hawke-Keating Labor Party governments of the
1980s-90s, and their 'Accord' with the unions, from which is appearing
a series of articles for the journal Links. Available so far is:

Engels and the theory of the labour aristocracy

Monopoly capitalism and the bribery of the labour aristocracy
