Pea brained liberals and their false sense of choice.

Things are only going to get worse in India. Hindutva has been soaked deep in minds of the savarna young and old alike, mostly from petite-bourgeoise background. Even if the opposition forms a united front of dalits, workers, urban progressives, the undoing will take decades.

Is this Marxism Egoism synthesis?!?

Though I can say that I will not stand in the way of proletariates when they come for bourgeoise private properties for they are the true inheritors of history.

I am talking about the biblical quote. “Render unto caesar whats his” can be built upon to conclude “render unto the rightful owner of the private property whats his”. Unless there is some other interpretation of the quote, it is not ver socialist.

So he did support private property after all, thats not even utopian socialism.

Proletarianise the tree huggers!

No, not at all. Enjoy your communes which are always just one warlord away from regressing into feudalism.

This is rampant misunderstanding of Marxism, nothing else. Kronstadt was evil, but a necessary one. You can't hold a very strategic location hostage during a once in a lifetime revolution. Maybe if they'd pushed their demands during peace time there would have been a more democratic discourse.

Now you know that an united front with anarchists will never work and why leftcoms oppose it. In the midst of the revolution they'd push for petite-bourgeoise reforms. Trotsky was a great revolutionary and theorists but his support for an united front and entryism was a strategic error.

The state withers away in an international DoTP when "workers of all lands unite". Socialism is not a single state project, especially at that time in world history where the state whithering away would have led to what? Invasion by Poland?

Read about the reforms the Kronstadt Anarchists wanted, they wanted petite-bourgeoise peasant proprietorship. Plus they were aided by the French. It was counter-revolutionary to the proletarian revolution of the Bolsheviks.

I get it. What part of Marxism do you disagree with? Because once you remove the surplus labour associated with commodity production, work will be just what you are describing.
January 2, 2025 at 12:21 AM
I maybe getting this wrong but in your system, intrinsic value in labour is the necessity of labour itself? Like in a primitive hunter gatherer society, labour of hunting just to survive is intrinsic?

Marx criticises Lassalle in the Gotha Critique on the notion that labour is the source of wealth.

If I had to guess, you don’t believe that extracting surplus from workers is the real exploitation? Though them not getting a “fair” share of the profit is?

He was a Trotskyist who fought against the MLoids in Afghanistan.

Hell, even the account of one of the Fourth International member party follows me.

Anarchists at that time were counter-revolutionary and the rebellion had to be put down for the greater good. Why Anarchism will never work is a different subject altogether. Short answer, not rooted in reality and dialectical materialism. Utopianism.

The state-less, hierarchy-less society that Marxists believe in will be a result of redundancy of state functions during DoTP socialism (Hegel’s quantitative to qualitative transformation). Unlike Anarchists, Marxist don’t believe in an immediate state-less society.
