Classe Operária e Estado: A Experiência Francesa das Municipalidades Socialistas e Comunistas

Lojkine, Jean

Resumo

The French municipality constitutes an ideal locus for the observation of the clash between a political and governmental system which tends to ignore class struggles and a working class movement born from the shop floor. Historical and sociological investigations carried on old French socialist working class municipalities, such as Lille and Marseille, as well as in communist ones (lvry and Montreuil, located in metropolitan Paris) reveal the degree of ambiguity which permeates the "Republican education" of the French working class movement, which either gives rise to a "loyal administration" of the government machinery interrupted from time to time by the irruption of working class struggles in the city or within industry, or results in a relative subversion of the Republican institutions by means of a convergence between plant-level struggles and cultural conflicts. The relations between enterprise and political citizenship which were established in the first half of the twentieth century must now be entirely revised in the face of the deep transformations suffered by the working class and the salaried middle classes in the last 25 years as well as the new characteristics of the labor and socio-cultural movements inspired by different intellectual groups.
