A list of selected articles from the Workers' Advocate
A list of selected articles from the Workers' Advocate
A list of selected articles from the Workers' Advocate
This issue is devoted to a partial listing of the contents of the Workers' Advocate and Workers' Advocate Supplement. It aims especially at articles that are either more comprehensive, theoretical, related to controversies in the revolutionary movement, or otherwise thought more likely to be referred to over a period of time. Many smaller or even tiny articles are also included, as a follow-up on some contemporary event, to give the flavor of the general coverage, or because the subject has some special interest. But much of the extensive coverage of individual strikes, anti-racist demonstrations, clinic defenses, police brutality, and other individual events is not included. (Very small topical articles are sometimes indicated as such by an asterisk.)
The list concentrates on the last two years, but a number of previous articles are included. In some cases, especially with older material, the articles show the train of thought being developed by the MLP, but contain formulations or conclusions that have since been abandoned or improved.
This list has been prepared to fill the need created by the growing obsolescence of the March 1986 publications list (which was a separate pamphlet, and not in the Supplement). Since then, the capitalist world has changed substantially, the revisionist world system has collapsed, the mass movements around the world have changed dramatically, and the theoretical work of the MLP has also led to new conclusions. How much change in such a short period! It has been a time of crisis and disorientation on a mass scale. This will not be overcome easily or quickly, but at the same time, one way or another, the deadwood of the past is being cleared away.
This list has been prepared in the midst of a rush of other work, and is not comprehensive or consistent. It will be revised yearly, and suggestions for improvements are welcome.
Articles within each category are usually listed from most recent to oldest, except that articles published in a series may be grouped together and listed in chronological order. Volume and issue numbers are indicated by, e.g., 20(2), which means volume 20, #2. All articles are from the Workers' Advocate, unless the Workers' Advocate Supplement (WAS) or some other source is indicated.
For the table of contents, see pages 2-3.
The listing of articles starts on page 4.
