A. The Miners' General Strike of 1949-1950
Section I 1949-1953 Workers Revolts and Philosophic Breakthroughs
The critical four years, 1949-1953, began with a new stage of production, Automation, and of revolt, the Miners General Strike. They ended with Stalins death, in April 1953, followed by the East German revolt of June. Within the Johnson-Forest Tendency, Dunayevskaya was active in the 1949-1950 Miners General Strike, while at the same time translating Lenins Abstract of Hegels Science of Logic, included in his Philosophic Notebooks. Those Abstracts and her commentary on them became part of a three-way philosophic correspondence between herself, James, and Grace Lee (Boggs), 1949-1951. The strike and the translations made Dunayevskaya pose two new vantage points for the book she was working on with James and Lee: the American proletariat and Lenins Philosophic Notebooks. Three years later the death of Stalin suddenly brought forth extremely different analyses on the parts of Grace Lee and Raya Dunayevskaya. This was reflected in the very first issue of the Tendencys newspaper, Correspondence. For Grace Lee, Stalin’s death ended in depoliticalization. For Dunayevskaya, it was a world-shaking event whichin the weeks between Stalin’s death and the East German Revoltled to her philosophic breakthrough on Hegels Absolute Idea as a movement from practice as well as from theory. That philosophic breakthrough revealed in embryo the split-to-be within the Johnson-Forest Tendency that came in 1955. It as well reflected back to the period 1949-1953 to show the inadequacy of a state-capitalist theory without Marxist-Humanist philosophy.
