Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-17 00:00:00 Igor Susekov Finally got around to reading Cohn-Bendit & Cohn-Bendit. It's a great read for many reasons one of which is insight into what French student militants, eg the 22 March Movement, were reading in the 1960s. Cohn-Bendit records the influence of Socialisme ou Barbarie (Castoriadis/Chaulieu/Cardan, Lefort, Gautrat/Mothe, Bourdet, Simon), L'Internationale Situationniste (Debord, Vaneigem), Informations et Liaison Ouvrieres (Lefort, Simon), Noir et Rouge (Bourdet). All these journals advocated workers self-organization in councils--council communism or libertarian socialism (if you prefer)--and were connected to worker militants. The contrast with the reading of US student militants (SDS) is striking--CW Mills, Studies on the Left, Monthly Review, The Guardian (moving from Deweyian pragmatism to Maoism). In Detroit, there was Correspondence and News & Letters, but they were a bit isolated even though Marcuse notes their significance in One Dimensional Man. Not that reading material changes the world, but the difference between factory occupations and a general strike in France and the Progressive Labor Party and Weather Underground in the US may have have had a relation to "understanding the world".
