Example text

These individual areas are deemed private, as has been indicated, but it is not quite the case that all non-individual areas are public; two consenting adults may constitute a relevant executive unit in the area of sexual relations, for example, which may be regarded as private when viewed from the outside, but as a miniature bipolar republic when viewed from within. Given such a distribution of power, two obvious complications arise: first, the problem of the boundaries between units and second, the problem of the internal structure of each unit.

11 Carling’s essay in this collection exemplifies the virtues Wright et al. would claim for analytical Marxism. Undoubtedly, it constitutes a critical project that applies exacting analytical method to propositions and assumptions too often shrouded from critical evaluation within both the larger corpus of Marxist scholarship and the prevailing politics of contemporary capitalism. Where analytical Marxism is perhaps more subject to question is in its relationship of theory to political practice, and the extent to which it constitutes a ‘politics’ that recognizes conflict and antagonism as a central feature of the social organization of late capitalism.

It is a tradition which has always sought to unite theory and practice . . 22 While the prevailing intellectual fashion is to regard this as a rigid, closed and dated articulation of Marxist theory and politics, its connection with workers’ grassroots activism and the richness, however critically besieged, of its tradition begs that it is not dismissed too easily. Ticktin, in this collection, provides a trenchant defence of the continuing relevance of Trotsky’s thinking, and Simon makes effective use of a similar approach in analysing the ‘Velvet Revolutions’ against communist rule in 1989.
