Review: Platanov, Foundation Pit + Benjamin, Theses on the Philosophy of History
2025-05-11
For our first Library book review Noah compares two works that offer critiques of Soviet state-communism from anti-authoritarian standpoints....Enjoy!
Sadness doesn’t mean a thing, comrade Kozlov, It shows that our class feels the whole world, and happiness is a far off business anyway[...] happiness will only lead to shame!
Platanov, The Foundation Pit
Between 1927 and 1932, the Foundation Pit was drafted. The period marked the unfolding of an era of bloody party purges and Stalinist terror. Platanov, a soviet himself who began his literary practice as a shining, opitimistic voice of the Soviet revolution, claimed in 1921 “Electrification is the first proletarian novel”:
Invention of the machines, creation of new
iron, working constructions - here is the
new proletarian poetry. Before, we gripped
words in clamps of emotions - this was
called a rhyme (rhythm). Now we grip
matter in clamps of consciousness (idea) -
this is a rhyme (rhythm) of proletarian
poetry.
Each new machine - is a real proletarian
poem. Every new great work of
transforming nature - is proletarian
sensible, exhilarating and precise prose.
The great danger for our art is
transformation of creative(living)-labour into
a song of labour. Electrification is the first
proletarian novel, our first iron book in a
steel-cover.
Machines are our poems, and creativity of
the machines is giving a beginning to the
proletarian poetry. For this is the global
human uprising in a sake for itself.
Platonov, 1921 (“Proletarian
Poetry”)
Platanov’s later response to the revolutions degeneration profoundly captures the cruel optimism of revolutionary desire, in its calls for sacrifice of everything for some future happiness. The foundation pit the workers dig is in fact an allegory for the labor of building communism—or what is literally called the “house of unity” which will shelter all and bring a life of comfort after it is completed. Does progress calls for sacrifice?
Walter Benjamin was right in seeing the Hitler-Stalin pact as a total discrediting of the Communists, and wrote his scathing critique of the movement in his 1940 work “Theses on the Philosophy of History” as an immediate response. Benjamin’s essay should be seen as a companion to Platanov—we also have it in our library. Concluding that the Soviet’s appalling historical conformism followed that of the Social Democrats and National Socialists, Benjamin found at the core of the problem of these modern political forms was their historical progressivism. Comradeship aligned with these progressivist forms of history in asserting the possibility of an a priori goal established outside time which historical time may steadily, uniformly, aspire toward as a pregiven ideal of political life. Progressivism is thus organized around what Benjamin calls the historical continuum of catastrophe wherein what diverges from history as a homogeneous course of progress must be violently expelled from its form as a deviation from its course. As Hamacher nicely puts it, drawing from Benjamin: “The domain of forms belongs to the realm of domination, where permanence of forms can only be secured through the suppression of other possibilities—that is, possibilities of happiness—that rebel against such domination.” Whether as an enterprise-form, an institutional-form, a state-form or the value-form of capital, a form will always place its own perpetuation over any consideration of the consequences of this constancy for the world, for its members (seen as relatively disposable), and finally for the very contents of the future goal it aspires to progressively achieve.
