Controversy (magazine)

	Controversy (magazine) ''Controversy: The Monthly Socialist Forum'' was a British monthly magazine published by the Independent Labour Party from 1932 to 1950.

In 1939 the magazine changed its name to ''Left Forum'' and then to ''Left''. The magazine published contributions not only from members of the Independent Labour Party, but also from members of the Communist Party of Great Britain, Communist Party and the Labour Party (UK), Labour Party, as well as individuals who belonged to no political party. Among its international contributors were Franz Borkenau, Max Eastman, Paul Frölich, Julián Gorkin, Sidney Hook, Jomo Kenyatta, Jay Lovestone, George Padmore, Marceau Pivert, Victor Serge, August Thalheimer, Bernard Wolfe and Simone Weil.

picture info	Magazines Established In 1932 A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus ''Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

Early life and education Challinor was born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Both of his parents were political activists, his father was secretary of his branch of the Labour Party, and his mother was a member of the Independent Labour Party (ILP).

picture info	Simone Weil Simone Adolphine Weil ( , ; 3 February 1909 – 24 August 1943) was a French philosopher, mystic, and political activist. Over 2,500 scholarly works have been published about her, including close analyses and readings of her work, since 1995. After her graduation from formal education, Weil became a teacher. She taught intermittently throughout the 1930s, taking several breaks due to poor health and to devote herself to political activism. Such work saw her assisting in the trade union movement, taking the side of the anarchists known as the Durruti Column in the Spanish Civil War, and spending more than a year working as a labourer, mostly in car factories, so she could better understand the working class. Taking a path that was unusual among 20th-century left-leaning intellectuals, she became more religious and inclined towards mysticism as her life progressed. Weil wrote throughout her life, although most of her writings did not attract much attention until after her death. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Marceau Pivert Marceau Pivert (2 October 1895, Montmachoux, Seine-et-Marne – 3 June 1958, Paris) was a French schoolteacher, trade unionist, socialist militant, and journalist. He was an alumnus of the École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud. SFIO Active in the ''Syndicat National des Instituteurs'' (SNI), a staunch supporter of ''laïcité'' and a pacifist after service in World War I, Pivert joined the faction of the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO) led by Léon Blum, which opposed affiliation to the Comintern in 1920, as opposed to the new French Communist Party (PCF).

The tendency opened itself to Trotskyism, initiating ''entryism'' as a tactic for the latter. In 1936, when Blum formed the Popular Front government, he was pressured by Pivert to reject capitalism.
