One proposal
Below is a proposal of our small group, red report, 1985
>
> With the overall development of the credit system, the present modes of
> accumulation of the financial capital become quite different from what
> Hilferding and Lenin made an analysis. This change can, first of all, be
> seen in generalization for the commoditified capital. The accumulation
> process of the industrial capital is the movement of real capital and
> constitutes economy real, for the commodities are produced by utilizing labor
> power in the production process, although this process is based on the
> exploitation of the unpaid labor. On the other hand, the accumulation
> process of the commoditfied capital is just in the formation of fictitious
> capital without the direct producing process, or the movement of the
> interest-bearing capital ,and thus constitutes, so to speak, economy
> fictitious.
> Originally the fictitious capital was produced to increase the real capital,
> but today in the accumulation process of the financial capital supremacy of
> economy fictitious over economy real has been established with the development
> of the credit system.
> As a result many kinds of indices that might have indicated the crisis of
> capitalism has been encoded. That is , the index that would be a sign of
> crisis bears another meaning under the present social conditions.
> Thus it becomes an urgent problem for us to make clear the credit system.
>
> Acknowledging the reverse process of economy real and fictitious, let's
> turn our concern to the Soviet Union.
> In the Soviet union the bureaucracy has been changed into the ruling class
> and the transitional society which should have developed into a communist
> society has undergone the severe degeneration. Here state ownership was
> originally thought as a standpoint of communal ownership of proletariat
> However, the state ownership, with classification of workers, result in the
> relative separation of labor power from the means of production, and the the
> bureaucracy itself has been transformed into an peculiar class which exploits
> the surplus labor form the direct producers.
> And the commodity production remained under this peculiar state ownership with
> which the class separation is reproduced. Thus for the bourgeois class in the
> West and the bureaucrats in the East it becomes a fundamental common interest
> to maintain their class rule and the present order of the world.
>
> Faced with the transformations of both the imperialistic world and the Soviet
> Union, what attitude could be communist movement take?
> Here the Cultural Revolution by Mao Tse-tung and various theories of cultural
> revolution affected by it may be only worth considering.
> For the crisis of the domination systems with bourgeoisie and bureaucracy
> racy has, in the first place, come to the surface on the level of cultural
> circumstances. And it is this crisis which made these cultural theories
> popular.
> However, various established theories of culture had been disorganized
> through deepening of the culture crisis of the ruling class and the various
> revolutionary movements lost their class characteristics as proletariat.
> For they,as well as the followers of the thoughts of the Revolution, have
> not been freed from the limitation of the movement which had really held in
> China, that is, the cultural revolution after the political revolution.
> We would not abandon the fact that the cultural revolution should be raised
> by itself after the political revolution. We must examine the poverty of the
> politics for which the political revolution, in principle, just a means of
> the social revolution, cannot accomplish the social revolution directly.
> Therefore, the theory which insists on the supremacy of the cultural
> revolution over the political revolution also implies the poverty of politics.
> After all it is doubtful to contrast the culturalrevolution with the political
> revolution.
> The cultiral revolution is a part of the social revolution.
> The deepening of the cultural crisis of the ruling class shows the
> possibilities of the social revolution, and we now need the politics that
> includes the programmes of the social revolution as a practical purpose of the
> social revolution.
> On the other hand, the conventional theories of the culturalrevolution could
> not help raising the proletariat culture because they lacked the above
> viewpoint. Therefore it is an inevitable result that they were absorbed into
> the cultural politics of the ruling class.
>
>
> What is required for the present communist movements might not be to raise
> some alternative cultures against the deepening of the cultural crisis of the
> ruling class.
> It is fundamentally required that proletariat and the repressed people get to
> the cultural levels on which they can utilize the political revolution as a
> means of the social revolution, and it also required to organize the
> political struggles that help the mass acquire such cultural maturity.
> Thus it is necessary to materialize, as a practical purpose of present
> political struggle, the programs of the social revolution for the communist
society based on the abolition of capital and commodities and to reconstruct
revolutionary policies struggles.
Acknowledging these points, the International Communist Association has
been inaugurated. The purpose of this Association are for the time being to
publish the bulletins in English regularly, to provide our opinion on the
various problems underworld-wide discussion, to stimulate international
intercourse of the communists, and to form the solid basis of a new
international communist movement.
