Your contributions to this Forum, Gojko, always make my day because I consider your understanding of Marxist thinking and methodology are nearest to mine.
However, I have a different opinion regarding the article (below) which you recommend for reading, although the author has delivered a technically perfect and insightful analysis by means of the Marxist analytical instruments of the contradictions between "Political Capitalism" and Capitalism in its more advanced form as "Transnational Capital". My critique is summarized in two points: 1) The assessment of the colour revolutions is one-sided because these movements appear in this article as authentic social movements aiming at the removal of that class of "Political Capitalists" to the advantage of the exploited classes and there is no mention whatsoever of the promotion of these movements by the West as a strategy of political war against the national ruling classes, may they be good or bad, which put up some resistance to the transnational capital's grasp of their national space. The author masks out the question of the main and secondary contradictions to the disadvantage of the reader. 2) The conclusion is the wish that the political capitalists' class more "mobilisationist politics may create the condition for a more organised, conscious, mass political opposition rooted in the popular classes than any post-Soviet country has ever seen, and ultimately for a new social-revolutionary wave". By what has been said before in that analysis, it seems that this new social-revolutionary wave should eliminate the class of political capitalists with view of opening the national spaces to transnational capital. But this is like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Best regards, Salua Priv. Doz.
