Internationalism in Marxist theory

Francis D. Lefevre | 11.02.2011 00:47 | Guantánamo | Analysis | Free Spaces | Social Struggles | Cambridge | Oxford

For the KKE it is a matter of principle that the ideological, political and organizational vanguard of the working class must be expressed in a distinct and unified manner internationally. The theoretical basis of this principle, grounded in the works of Marx and Engels, can be found in the international activity and dimension of capital, which we will study in light of contemporary developments. In order for capital to reproduce itself as a socio-economic relationship it has already surpassed the “national-state” boundary, which it created as a form of political state-power to establish itself and to overcome feudal relations, to abolish the narrowness of the natural economy and the local market, and craft production.

The phenomenon of international trade and the stock company, which Marx had analyzed, took on new dimensions and characteristics at the end of the 19th century and especially in the 20th century, through the extensive export of capital for direct foreign investments, the creation on an international scale of stock-markets and other markets for finance capital (e.g. the World bank, IMF etc.) and the international nature of the stockholdership of investment companies.

On this basis after the 2nd world war and despite the continued sharpening of capitalist competition (between companies and between states), stronger centres were formed for the elaboration of a united strategy for the international imperialist system against the working class, its revolutionary organization and its activity as a movement within the capitalist states and even more so against its state-power in the countries which were building socialism.

The deeper study of the previous Communist Internationals and especially of the Third Communist International will lead to conclusions that are necessary for the ideological and strategic reconstruction of the international communist movement and its revival .

The new organizational expression of this unity should definitely reflect this maturation. In that sense it will be different from the organizational expression of the third international which was based on the revolutionary victory of the CPR (B) in Russia and on the influence it exerted on the revolutionary forces of the old parties which have been assimilated by the system of the social democrat parties. These forces have not dissociated themselves from “social democracy” first and foremost in the trade union movement so as to win the most militant sectors of the working class.

Nevertheless, these are aspects of historical research that should be discussed in a more detailed manner.
