More nonsense from the man who thinks the Shah was participating in an anti-imperialist cartel attempting to break the oil majors.
I'm "throwing out" nothing. I've already proposed the origin, the reason, for Bonapartism in the necessity to bring the revolution to an end, or to pre-empt it. At the same time, I would love to see your analysis, your "recognition of the economic, material conditions" that lead to Bonapartism. Would love to see you establish the link between Bonapartism and "the oppressed nation whose economic tissue has been prevented from developing by neocolonialist exploitation." How about you try, for example, Brazil? Too difficult? OK, how about Mexico? That should be easier. Show us 1) how the economic tissue of Mexico has been prevented from developing by neo-colonialist [which I guess means advanced capitalist] exploitation, as opposed to say, the inhibition of development being the product, the legacy, of 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th century Spanish monarcho-mercantile exploitation, to which advanced capitalism adapted itself, and adapted to itself AND 2) how the neo-colonialist exploitation, as opposed to, say, the pre-existing relations between city and countryside, the already existing relations of agricultural production, relations advanced capitalism could not overturn or revolutionize, created the conditions for the mini-Bonapartism of Obregon, of Calles. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lüko Willms" <[email protected]> To: "David Schanoes" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 1:55 AM Subject: Re: [Marxism]Bonapartism [Re: Chavez was right [was: RE: Chávez and Holocaust indifference]] Exactly. You are deliberately throwing out the recognition of the economic, material conditions, which is -- in the case we are discussing -- the condition of the country in question as an oppressed nation whose economic tissue has been prevented from developing by the neocolonialist exploitation.
