Some of Marta Harnecker's explanation of the mistakes of 20th century
socialism:
"(b) theoryism and dogmatism, which led to strategism [great strategic goals
were planned, e.g., the struggle for national liberation and socialism, but
without any concrete analysis of the historical conditions]; and (c) a
distorted “subjectivism” [reification of the historical subject] in analyzing
reality—inappropriate strategies and tactics were used, based on an inability
to see the historical uniqueness of the revolutionary social subject."
This sounds exactly like the garbage I was forced to study and take seriously
at University of Chicago social science grad school. Evidently Harnecker is not
concerned with addressing and educating workers and peasants and
revolutionaries, but in appealing to academics by speaking their own
pretentious nonsense. I would think that for someone like Harnecker that it
would be ABC that if you want to educate the classes that are going to make the
revolution, you'd better speak their language.
The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.
