ABSTRACT The war in Ukraine manifests a major crisis both for US imperialism in its struggle to maintain and expand its hegemony against challenge, here primarily but not exclusively, Russia and for international capitalism itself. How this crisis will play out is unknown but at this stage three characteristics are evident. Firstly, the use of proxies; Ukraine for the military struggle and Europe to a large extent for the economic one. Secondly, the primacy of economic instruments, such as sanctions rather than direct military power. Thirdly, undergirding and legitimizing the other two, the expanded role of information warfare. Information warfare sits on two pillars. One is cultural hegemony, the soft power to mold perception because of the esteem in which the provider of information is held by the recipient. The other is the organizational framework, or architecture of information collection, creation and dissemination to manage perception.
乌克兰战争体现了美帝国主义在维护和扩大其霸权以对抗挑战(这里主要是但不完全是俄罗斯)和国际资本主义本身的重大危机。这场危机将如何发展尚不得而知,但在目前阶段,有三个特征是明显的。首先,代理的使用;乌克兰为军事斗争而欧洲在很大程度上为经济斗争。第二,经济手段的首要地位,例如制裁,而不是直接的军事力量。第三,巩固和合法化其他两个,扩大信息战的作用。信息战有两个支柱。一种是文化霸权,这是一种塑造认知的软实力,因为信息提供者受到接受者的尊重。另一个是组织框架,或信息收集、创造和传播的架构,以管理感知。

COVID-19 and Imperial Value: Commodity Chains, Global Monopolies, and Catastrophe Capitalism COVID-19与帝国价值:商品链、全球垄断和灾难资本主义

ABSTRACT Why has the COVID-19 pandemic manifested itself differently in different parts of the capitalist world-economy? The analysis here examines the way in which the system of “imperial value,” as articulated by Samir Amin and others, has governed the relations of individual nation states to the onset of SARS-CoV-2. The result is enormous disparities between the Global North and the Global South, as well as between countries that are relatively more capitalist and those that are relatively more socialist, along the socioeconomic spectrum. The impact of COVID-19 is thus mediated by a country’s position within the global value chain dominated by monopolistic multinational corporations. In this way, the structure of the contemporary world system has only served to worsen the global effects of the pandemic, in line with the general character of today’s catastrophe capitalism.
为什么新冠肺炎疫情在资本主义世界经济的不同地区表现不同?本文的分析考察了萨米尔·阿明(Samir Amin)等人所阐述的“帝国价值”体系在SARS-CoV-2爆发之前是如何支配各个民族国家之间的关系的。其结果是全球北方和全球南方之间的巨大差距,以及在社会经济光谱上相对更资本主义和相对更社会主义的国家之间的差距。因此,一国在垄断跨国公司主导的全球价值链中所处的地位决定了疫情的影响。这样,当代世界体系的结构只会使这一流行病的全球影响更加恶化,这符合当今灾难资本主义的一般特征。

ABSTRACT In an important sense, the history of the United States is a bloody record of war. Founded less than two and a half centuries ago, the US has fought more than two hundred wars. War has brought the US enormous political, economic, territorial and ideological benefits, which is the reason why the country has waged wars so frequently. Today the US, at the center of a new type of empire of financial colonialism, continues to ignite wars in many parts of the world in order to maintain the dividends from its hegemony. It has thus come to pose a danger to the world. The interest group that lies behind these wars has become the world’s largest and most evil terrorist organization. Killing in the name of liberty is the consistent, criminal logic of the US, which commits frequent outrages against humanity and human rights. The rivalry between the US and other countries and peoples has never been a clash of civilizations, but instead, a battle between barbarism and civilization. When we confront the United States, that has devoted itself to building a system of Prompt Global Strike (PGS), we must, as Mao once said, cast away illusions and prepare for struggle.
从一个重要的意义上说,美国的历史就是一部血腥的战争史。美国建国不到两个半世纪,却打了200多场战争。战争给美国带来了巨大的政治、经济、领土和意识形态利益,这也是美国频繁发动战争的原因。今天,美国作为一个新型金融殖民主义帝国的中心,继续在世界许多地方挑起战争,以维持其霸权的红利。因此,它对世界构成了威胁。这些战争背后的利益集团已经成为世界上最大、最邪恶的恐怖组织。打着自由的旗号杀人,是美国一贯的犯罪逻辑。美国经常践踏人类和人权。美国与其他国家和人民的对抗从来不是文明的冲突,而是野蛮与文明的较量。当我们面对致力于建立全球快速罢工(PGS)系统的美国时,我们必须抛弃幻想,准备斗争,正如毛曾经说过的那样。

Avoiding the Delusions of Today’s Capitalism with a Thorough Understanding of Marxism as the Key 以深刻理解马克思主义为关键,避免当今资本主义的错觉

ABSTRACT Between the early 1970s, when neoliberalism was in full swing and became the dominant rhetoric of the time, and the 2008 global economic crisis, capitalism as a result of its inherent nature entered a fundamental crisis with unavoidable consequences. Many in-depth analyses of the economic crisis from a Marxist viewpoint have revealed that in the area of wealth appropriation, capitalism has now exacerbated inequality to absurd levels. This is not to mention other challenging issues such as the parasitic nature of increasingly digitized finance capital, uncontrolled inflation leading to rampant financial deficits, the worsening ecological crisis with mounting environmental costs that erode profits, escalating political manipulation by monopoly capitalists, and the mounting by developed countries of inappropriate military interventions in the developing world, to name just a few. Today, the fundamental characteristics and specific manifestations of contemporary capitalism are exerting significant impacts on the process of building socialism worldwide. Faced with today’s capitalism, China and Vietnam while exercising due caution must put forward and consistently highlight the need to examine the direction the system is taking. Thorough research on this subject is critical for a correct scientific understanding.
从20世纪70年代初新自由主义如火如荼并成为当时的主流言论到2008年全球经济危机,资本主义由于其固有的本质进入了一场根本危机,其后果是不可避免的。从马克思主义的观点对经济危机进行的许多深入分析表明,在财富占有领域,资本主义现在已经将不平等加剧到荒谬的程度。这还没有提到其他具有挑战性的问题,如日益数字化的金融资本的寄生性质,导致财政赤字猖獗的不受控制的通货膨胀,日益恶化的生态危机与不断增加的环境成本侵蚀利润,垄断资本家不断升级的政治操纵,以及发达国家对发展中国家不适当的军事干预,仅举几例。今天,当代资本主义的基本特征和具体表现正在对世界社会主义建设进程产生重大影响。面对今天的资本主义,中国和越南在谨慎行事的同时,必须提出并始终强调审视资本主义制度走向的必要性。对这个问题进行深入的研究对正确的科学认识至关重要。

The Power of Algorithmic Capitalism 算法资本主义的力量

ABSTRACT The rise of algorithmic capitalism is marked by the extraction of data enabled by the combination of algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI). This coupling constitutes a powerful force, altering the rules, regulations, and discourses that comprise global governance. In our fraught times, numerical representations—algorithms and AI—can serve as proxies for the power of capitalism. Efforts to check this structure may be bracketed under four rubrics: initiatives to effect greater transparency, regulation, audits by third-party inspectors, and accountability. Notwithstanding modest gains in some of these domains, algorithms are extending their scope and capacities more rapidly than humans have established means for controlling them. This article traces these developments and their implications for achieving an ethical future by projecting scenarios. They lead to the quandary of what the creation of moral machines may mean for world order.
算法资本主义的兴起以算法和人工智能(AI)相结合的数据提取为标志。这种耦合构成了一股强大的力量,改变了构成全球治理的规则、法规和话语。在我们这个令人担忧的时代,数字代表——算法和人工智能——可以作为资本主义力量的代理。检查这种结构的努力可以分为四个方面:提高透明度的举措、监管、第三方检查员的审计和问责制。尽管在其中一些领域取得了适度的进展,但算法扩展其范围和能力的速度比人类建立控制它们的手段要快得多。本文通过预测情景来追溯这些发展及其对实现道德未来的影响。它们导致了道德机器的创造对世界秩序意味着什么的困惑。

The Long Shadow of Hiroshima: Capitalism and Nuclear Weapons 广岛的长影:资本主义和核武器

ABSTRACT Few realise that amid rising international tensions, inter alia over Ukraine, Taiwan of China, Iran and AUKUS (Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States), nuclear arms control is today almost entirely dismantled and a manifestly declining and desperate US has launched a new nuclear arms, now also targeting China, making war and even nuclear war seem increasingly possible. The political and geopolitical economy of nuclear proliferation and control here highlights the singular role of the US in driving the arms race, arguing that the US desire to dominate the world economy, not the Cold War, caused the nuclear arms race; that the only surviving arms control treaty, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), has become more a channel for proliferation than a dam against it; and that the US used the NPT to justify its post–Cold War international aggression against some countries while violating it to aid allies.
很少有人意识到,在不断上升的国际紧张局势中,特别是在乌克兰,中国台湾,伊朗和AUKUS(澳大利亚,英国和美国),核军备控制今天几乎完全被拆除,一个明显衰落和绝望的美国已经推出了新的核武器,现在也针对中国,使战争甚至核战争似乎越来越有可能。核扩散和控制的政治和地缘政治经济在这里突出了美国在推动军备竞赛方面的独特作用,认为美国主宰世界经济的愿望,而不是冷战,导致了核军备竞赛;唯一幸存的军备控制条约——《不扩散核武器条约》(NPT),与其说是防止核扩散的大坝,不如说是扩散的渠道;美国利用《不扩散核武器条约》为其冷战后对一些国家的国际侵略辩护,同时违反该条约来援助盟国。

Correctly Interpreting the Relationship between Two Historical Periods before and after the Reform and Opening Up in China 正确解读中国改革开放前后两个历史时期的关系

ABSTRACT The 70-year history of the People’s Republic of China can be divided into two historical periods, before the reform and opening up and after it, with the line of demarcation coinciding with the third plenary session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the CPC in 1978. These two periods are interrelated, but are also different from one another. In essence, they both embody the CPC’s practice in leading the people in socialist construction, and the Party’s exploration of methods for improving that practice. Correctly interpreting the relationship between socialist practice and exploration during the periods before the reform and opening up and after it is not only a historical issue, but also a political one. We therefore need to make a correct evaluation of the historical period before the reform and opening up. We should not use the period following the reform and opening up to negate the period before it, and vice versa.
中华人民共和国70年的历史可以分为改革开放前和改革开放后两个历史时期,以1978年党的十一届三中全会为分界线。这两个时期是相互关联的,但也彼此不同。从本质上讲,都是中国共产党领导人民进行社会主义建设的实践,也是我们党对改进领导人民进行社会主义建设方法的探索。正确认识改革开放前后社会主义实践与探索的关系,既是一个历史问题,也是一个政治问题。因此,我们需要对改革开放前的历史时期作出正确的评价。不能用改革开放后的时期来否定改革开放前的时期,也不能用改革开放后的时期来否定改革开放前的时期。

The Rational Kernel of Hegel’s Dialectic 黑格尔辩证法的理性内核
IF 0.5 Q4 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2022-04-03 DOI: 10.1080/21598282.2022.2054000
S. Sayers
ABSTRACT What is the rational kernel of Hegel’s dialectic that Marx famously speaks of? How can it be extracted from the mystical shell in which it is embedded in Hegel’s philosophy? Hegel sets out the general principles of his dialectic in the opening sections of his Logic. Starting from pure abstract “Being,” he claims to derive the concepts of “Becoming” and “Determinate Being” by a purely logical process. These arguments are fallacious. However, there is a rational kernel in them. Following Marx, I show how this can be extracted by inverting Hegel’s argument. To understand things concretely, we must see them as in relation to other things within a larger totality and as changing. I show how these fundamental tenets of dialectic are implied in Hegel’s claims, and I defend them against opposing empiricist ideas.
马克思著名的黑格尔辩证法的理性内核是什么?如何将其从黑格尔哲学的神秘外壳中剥离出来呢?黑格尔在他的《逻辑学》的开头几节中阐明了他的辩证法的一般原则。他主张从纯粹抽象的“存在”出发,通过纯粹的逻辑过程推导出“变易”和“定在”的概念。这些论点是谬误的。然而,其中有一个理性的内核。在马克思之后,我将展示如何通过颠倒黑格尔的论证来提取这一点。要具体地认识事物,就必须把事物看成是在一个更大的总体中与其他事物的关系,看成是变化的。我展示了这些辩证法的基本原则是如何隐含在黑格尔的主张中,我为它们辩护,反对反对经验主义的观点。

The Revolutionary Origins of Democracy and Civil Society 民主与公民社会的革命起源
IF 0.5 Q4 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2022-04-03 DOI: 10.1080/21598282.2022.2070973
Jerry Harris
ABSTRACT Civil society and democratic rights resulted from a revolutionary compromise between the popular masses and rising capitalist class. This class alliance, which overthrew the aristocratic state in France and the colonial state in North America, produced a dialectic between property rights and human rights, constantly in contradiction and tension, but resulting in the political flexibility of capitalism. Such flexibility has been a major element in maintaining capitalist class hegemony when faced by social movements of race, class and gender. The bourgeoisie have always held private ownership of property as the supreme expression of democracy, while the working class has viewed social and political rights as primary. This contradiction can only be resolved by a socialist society, which places working class democracy and participation at the center of its historic project.
公民社会和民主权利是人民群众与崛起的资产阶级之间的革命性妥协的结果。这一阶级联盟推翻了法国的贵族国家和北美的殖民国家,在产权和人权之间产生了不断矛盾和紧张的辩证法,但却导致了资本主义的政治灵活性。在面对种族、阶级和性别的社会运动时,这种灵活性一直是维持资产阶级霸权的主要因素。资产阶级始终把财产私有制视为民主的最高表现,而工人阶级则把社会和政治权利视为首要权利。这一矛盾只能通过社会主义社会来解决,社会主义社会将工人阶级的民主和参与置于其历史计划的中心。

Such flexibility has been a major element in maintaining capitalist class hegemony when faced by social movements of race, class and gender. The bourgeoisie have always held private ownership of property as the supreme expression of democracy, while the working class has viewed social and political rights as primary. This contradiction can only be resolved by a socialist society, which places working class democracy and participation at the center of its historic project.","PeriodicalId":43179,"journal":{"name":"International Critical Thought","volume":"19 1","pages":"179 - 188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79737131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract This article explores the concept of “liberal democracy” and the persistent attempts by Western scholars and politicians to present it as the only legitimate form of government. Observing that the popular narrative around democracy pays no attention to social class, it draws on a Marxist understanding of the state, within which framework liberal democracy is simply “the best possible political shell for capitalism,” as Lenin put it. It provides numerous examples of how Western liberal democracies privilege the interests of the ruling (capitalist) class and perpetuate a system of exploitation and oppression. It compares this with systems of socialist democracy, such as whole-process people’s democracy in China. Finally, it highlights how the universalization of liberal democracy is leveraged to prop up Western ideological hegemony, itself part of an imperialist project aimed at preserving the US-led imperialist system.
本文探讨了“自由民主”的概念,以及西方学者和政治家一直试图将其呈现为唯一合法的政府形式。观察到围绕民主的流行叙述没有注意到社会阶级,它借鉴了马克思主义对国家的理解,在这个框架下,自由民主只是列宁所说的“资本主义最好的政治外壳”。它提供了许多西方自由民主国家如何为统治阶级(资产阶级)的利益提供特权,并使剥削和压迫制度永久化的例子。它将其与社会主义民主制度,如中国的全过程人民民主制度进行了比较。最后,它强调了自由民主的普遍化是如何被用来支撑西方意识形态霸权的,这本身就是帝国主义计划的一部分,旨在维护以美国为首的帝国主义体系。
