De många avskeden till arbetarklassen (pdf). Av David Broder (Marxistakiv.se, 30. september 2021). Oversat fra Jacobin Magazine (No. 42, Summer 2021)
“Har den moderna samhällsutvecklingen gjort den ‘traditionella’ arbetarklassen överspelad för en socialistisk organisation? Broder tycker inte det.”
Marxism and the trade unions. By Hal Draper (Marxists Internet Archive)
“These texts are transcripts of a series of talks held in October/November 1970: Marxism and Trade Unions – Working class lifestyle and the radical sect – Rank and file organization in the Labor movement – Dual unionism.”
Why the working class. By Hal Draper (SocialistWorker.org, September 14, 2012)
“For a May Day issue of the Labor Action newspaper in the early 1950s [Vol.19, No.19, May 9, 1955], Draper wrote the following article about the centrality of working class struggle to the Marxist tradition.”
Why the industrial working class still matters. By Kim Moody (Against the Current, Issue 58, September/October 1995)
“During the 1980s the theorists of post-industrialism, post-modernism and/or flexible specialization dismissed the industrial working class from the stage of history.”
Why we should recognise the Unions: Marx and Engels’ position on Trade Unionism as expounded in the works of Hal Draper. By Sheila Cohen (New Interventions, Vol.6 No.1, 1995)
“In what follows, we will refer both to Draper’s own argument, and to the writings of Marx and Engels which he cites, to analyse more closely the two sides of this coin and their implications for trade unionism and socialism today.”
The workers of the world. By Chris Harman (International Socialism, Issue 96, Autumn 2002, p.3-45)
“The overall picture is not one of a disintegrating or declining working class. It is one of a working class that on a world scale has grown bigger than ever, even if the rate of growth has slowed down with the successive crises in the world economy and the tendency everywhere to ‘capital intensive’ forms of production that do not employ massively new numbers of people.”
Forces of Labor: Worker’s movements and globalization since 1870. By Beverly J. Silver (Cambridge University Press, 2003, 238 p.; online at Libcom.org)
“Beverly Silver has written an important, accessible and excellent book that contributes significantly to our understanding of workers’ bargaining power under global capitalism.” See Ian Allison: Remaking the working class and its power (RS21, June 1, 2014)
Can the working class change the world? By Michael D. Yates (Monthly Review, March 21, 2004)
“Those who write it off as reactionary or too nationalistic or racist or sexist or not attuned to the environment cannot offer us an agent to replace it. Of course, if we look to our history, we do see that workers have been all of the things those … But we also see that workers have done the most remarkable things too, and have shown the world what collective solidarity and the action based upon it can do.”
Is the U.S. becoming post-industrial? The changing working class (International Socialist Review, Issue 52, March-April 2007)
“Adam Turn examines the argument that we have entered a new post-industrial age, and its corrollary, that the working class is no longer capable of mounting a collective challenge to capitalism.”
The shape of the working class. By Martin Smith (International Socialism, Issue 113, Winter 2007, p.49-70)
“Are we all middle class now? What does the working class look like in Britain today? Are the trade unions finished? These are the questions I want to attempt to answer. I also want to refute the notion that the working class is in decline, arguing instead that it is becoming larger and more diverse in its make up.”
Myths of globalisation and the new economy. By Bill Dunn (International Socialism, Issue 121, Winter 2009, p.75-97)
“Much of the left accepts one element in ‘third way’ ideology. This is the claim that globalisation has fundamentally weakened worker’s capacity to fight. Bill Dunn marshals a mass of material to show why this argument is wrong.”
The global reserve army of labor and the new imperialism. By John Bellamy Foster, Robert W. McChesney, and R. Jamil Jonna (Monthly Review, Vol.63, No.6, November 2011, p.1-31)
“In the last few decades there has been an enormous shift in the capitalist economy in the direction of the globalization of production. Much of the increase in manufacturing and even services production that would have formerly taken place in the global North – as well as a portion of the North’s preexisting production – is now being offshored to the global South.”
Marxism and Trade Unionism. By John Molyneux (Irish Marxist Review, Issue 1, March 2012, p.18-30; online at John Molyneux Blog)
“… it is useful to go back to basics: to revisit the basic Marxist analysis of trade unions; to review the history of some of the debates about trade unionism in the Marxist movement and the to ask whether Irish trade unions today constitute a ‘different’ and ‘special’ case, or if, broadly speaking, the traditional Marxist attitude to trade unionism remains valid in Ireland today.”
Class in the 21st Century. By Göran Therborn (New Left Review, Issue 78, November-December 2012, p.5-29)
“From Sao Paulo to Beijing, a rising middle class has been hailed by liberal commentators as a bulwark for consumption and democracy in the decades ahead. Taking stock of these claims, Göran Therborn offers a magisterial overview of the global class landscape and the still prodigious numerical weight of manual workers within it.”
New divisions of labour in the global economy. By Jane Hardy (International Socialism, Issue 137, Winter 2013, p.101-125)
“Jane Hardy dissects the argument that capital has become footlose, changing countries and ‘delocalising’ the global South at will.”
The disappearing working class? By Paul D’Amato (SocialistWorker.org, December 16, 2014)
“Some analysts claim we have entered a ‘post-industrial’ society in which automation is shrinking, if not eliminating, the working class. As a result, workers no longer have the power that Marx attributed to them.”
The crisis of world Labor. By Marcel van der Linden (Against the Current, Issue 176, May-June 2015)
“Both the size and composition of the world working class have changed dramatically over the past four decades. But these massive shifts are not reflected in the strength of workers’ organizations.”
Why the working class? By Vivek Chibber (Jacobin: Reason in Revolt, March 13, 2016)
“Workers are at the heart of the capitalist system. And that’s why they are at the center of socialist politics.” See also Vivek Chibber: Why we still talk about the working class (Ibid., 15 March 2017).
Marx’s Theory of working-class precariousness: Its relevance today. By R. Jamil Jonna and John Bellamy Foster (Monthly Review, Vol.67, No.11, April 2016)
“The structural basis of Marx’s concept of worker precariousness was the reserve army of labor, the fulcrum of the general law of capitalist accumulation.”
The remaking of the global working class. By Beverly Silver (ROAR Magazine, Issue 2, Summer 2016)
“The labor movement is far from dead—if anything, the upsurge of labor unrest and class-based mobilization since 2008 signals that the tide is turning.”
Workers of the World (Jacobin: Reason in Revolt, September 29, 2016)
An interview with Beverly J. Silver: “The potential for workers to resist capital is as strong as ever.”

Why You Should Be A Trade Unionist. By John Westmoreland (Counterfire, April 16, 2020) “Len McCluskey’s short book [Verso, 2020, 145 p.] gives us a powerful run through the arguments for working-class organisation.”
The working class is the vast majority of society. By Hadas Thier (Jacobin, September 13, 2020)
“Class isn’t just about how much money you make, and it’s certainly not about cultural traits or your level of education. Marxists argue that anyone who must sell their ability to work for a wage and can’t produce their life necessities for themselves is part of the working class.”
Workers of the world: growth, change, and rebellion. By Kim Moody (New Politics, No.70, Winter 2021)

Commonsense solidarity: how a working-class coalition can be built, and maintained. By Editors (Jacobin, November 11, 2021)

Jane McAlevey’s organising model: is it a rank and file strategy? By Paul Brook (International Socialism, Issue 174, Spring 2022, p. 81-115). “The union organising model associated with Jane McAlevey has a growing influence among union activists in Britain and internationally.” See also Ian Allinson: Lowering expectations: misrepresentations of McAlevey (RS21, 6 May 2022) + Jane McAlevey’s site.
An activists’ guide to trade union leaders and the rank-and-file. By Martin Upchurch (Socialist Worker, Issue 2819, 19 August 2022). “Times of growing class struggle raise big questions about the nature of the trade union bureaucracy and the potential for rank-and-file activity.”
A new activist’s guide to strikes, unions and struggle (Socialist Worker, Issue 2832, 18 November 2022). “It’s great that new people are getting involved in strikes themselves or in building solidarity. Here Sarah Bates answers some of the questions that these activists have raised in meetings.”
See Part 2: A new activist’s guide to strikes and unions (Socialist Worker, Issue 2833, 26 November 2022). “New people are involved in strikes themselves or building solidarity. Here Sam Ord answers more questions that activists have raised in meetings.”
The Great Denial: Why they don’t want us to talk about class. By Chris Nineham (Counterfire, September 24, 2022)
“One of the great paradoxes of the last 40 years has been that just when society has become more unequal than at any time for a century, class had dropped out of the discussion.”
