Re: [Marxism] Workerism

[Ethan Young <ethanyoung@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Back in 1969, these issues were argued by Ernest Mandel and 
Martin Nicolaus in New Left Review and the Columbia 
SDS-spawned theoretical paper Leviathan. The backdrop was 
the divergent paths taken by  PL [and later SWP] toward 
âworkerismâ, Weatherman toward âthird-worldismâ, and RYM-II 
toward Maoism.  If anyone subscribes to NLR, they can get 
access and share with the list.
Mandel argues that internal contradictions will determine 
the path of  revolution in America:

Nicolaus sees the US world role as imperialist  center as 
determinant:

Mandel responds:

Nicolaus later joined [and was then purged from] the 
by-the-numbers Maoist group October League, a remnant of 
RYM-II.
