I believe the most fruitful lines of thought are centered on Lenin. Tthat was, in part, his genius of adding the concept of imperialism to Marxist thought; clearly WW I and its aftermath were real crises. It's his conception of imperialism and his analysis of finance capitalism that make him one of the first post-modern Marxists (especially if you can accept the thesis, advanced by Althusser and others, that Marx is foundational to structuralism in social scientific thought).
This leads to all sorts of flows and eddies in Marxist thinking but perhaps the most important thinkers in this would be Deleuze and Guattari, who as co-authors become something like a single entity, like Marx-Engels. Unfortunately, they are both dead now. It would have been wonderful to see them discuss the current crisis. http://www.generation-online.org/p/fpdeleuze7.htm CJ _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
