앨릭스 캘리니코스(Alex Callinicos, 1950년 7월 24일 ~ )는 로디지아(현 짐바브웨) 태생의 영국 국제사회주의자이다. 현재 영국 사회주의 노동자당(Socialist Workers' Party)의 중앙위원이며, 런던대학교 킹스칼리지의 유럽학 교수이다.

정치 성향

앨릭스 캘리니코스(Alexander Theodore Callinicos)의 사상의 핵심은 대개 고전적 마르크스주의(Classical Marxism)로 표현된다. 스탈린주의(Stalinism)나 유럽공산주의(유로코뮤니즘, Eurocommunism)에 반대하여 그는 레닌(Vladimir Lenin)과 트로츠키(Leon Trotsky), 토니 클리프(Tony Cliff)로 이어지는 트로츠키주의의 한 경향을 따르고 있다. 앨릭스 캘리니코스가 속해 있는 영국 사회주의 노동자당은 트로츠키주의 그룹인 국제사회주의경향(International Socialist Tendency)에서 가장 큰 단체이다.

앨릭스 캘리니코스는 토니 클리프와 마찬가지로 소련 사회를 국가자본주의 사회로 파악하며, 1927년의 스탈린 독재체제 확립을 기점으로 소련의 공산주의적 모습은 완전히 자취를 감추고 있다고 주장한다. 그의 주장은 다른 사회주의자들은 물론, 같은 트로츠키주의자 내에서도 강력한 논쟁을 촉발시켰다.

또한, 포스트모더니즘과 무정부주의에 대해서도 비판하였는데,

포스트모더니즘에 대해서는 현실의 억압 구조 자체가 영속적인 것처럼 파악한다고 비판하였으며,

무정부주의 및 그에 영향을 받은 자율주의적 마르크스주의(안토니오 네그리 등)에 대해서는 현실에 계급 모순과 국가에 인한 억압이 계속되고 있는 상태에서 이를 무시하고 탈중심적인 풀뿌리 민주주의만을 추구한다고 비판하였다.

Alexander Theodore Callinicos (born 24 July 1950) is a British Marxist political theorist and activist, born in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia. An adherent of Trotskyism, he has been a member of the Central Committee of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and has served as its International Secretary. Between 2009 and 2020 he was the editor of International Socialism, the SWP's theoretical journal, and has published a number of books.

Biography

Early life

He became involved in revolutionary politics as a student at Balliol College, Oxford, where he studied for a BA and came to know Christopher Hitchens, then himself active in the International Socialists (the SWP's forerunner).^[1] He also received his DPhil at Oxford. The earliest writing by Callinicos for the International Socialists was an analysis of the student movement of the period. His other early writings focused on southern Africa and the French structuralist-Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser. In 1977, Callinicos married Joanna Seddon, a fellow Oxford doctoral student.^{[citation needed]}

Career and activism

Callinicos participated in the Counter-Summit to the IMF/World Bank Meeting in Prague, September 2000 and the demonstration against the G8 in Genoa, June 2001. He has also been involved in organising the Social Forum movement in Europe. He was a contributor to Dictionnaire Marx Contemporain (2001),^[2] and has written articles in New Left Review.

He was Professor of Politics at the University of York before being appointed Professor of European Studies at King's College London in September 2005. He succeeded Chris Harman as editor of International Socialism in January 2010 shortly after Harman died and is a British correspondent for Actuel Marx. Callinicos joined the central committee of the SWP in the late 1970s; he retained this position until December 2025.

Callinicos was a critic of the humanitarian interventions in Bosnia and Kosovo, arguing that they were conducted solely to promote the global capitalist expansion.^[3]^[4] He has described Russia's invasion of Ukraine as "an ongoing battle between imperialist rivals, driving forward by capitalist competition".^[5]^[6] He has argued against Western efforts to provide arms for Ukraine.^[5]^[6]

In January 2013, in the context of a serious crisis inside the UK Socialist Workers Party (SWP) associated with the party's response to an allegation of rape against a leading member of the party, Martin Smith, referred to internally as Comrade Delta, and with the demand for changes to the existing form of the system of democratic centralism within the SWP, he wrote a defence of Leninism and democratic centralism. Callinicos disagreed with those who argued for the need to change the existing system.^[7] He called the allegation of rape a "difficult disciplinary case",^[7] a comment for which socialist feminist Laurie Penny thought he "[mistook] a plea for some basic respect for women's sexual autonomy as an attempt to undermine the revolution from within."^[8]

Callinicos took a prominent position on another issue which had divided the Socialist Workers Party (SWP): the use of the Internet in disagreements about confidential party issues. He complained about "the dark side of the Internet" in which individuals have "used blogs and social media to launch a campaign within the SWP".^[7]

In order to disentangle a conference organised by the Historical Materialism journal in Delhi during 2013 from the SWP crisis, his invitation to the conference was withdrawn in March 2013.^[9]
