Agricultural revolution revolution being first in initiating a new chain reaction. I like the explanation of modern economics vs. serious economics. Serious economics and economic history being scientific compare to capitalist dogma of the so-called modern economics. I must admit that my conviction (almost dogmatic acceptance) of Co-ops being a optimal model for future socialist enterprise development have shaken a bit by this paper. Prof showed well that Coops in our nation's reinforces capitalist foundation. There is two element that bothers me on rural development, which I acknowledge were not focus of this paper. The first element being that of traditional leadership and traditional authority structures. In building a new society, the Africanist Socialist Democratic society from ashes of feudal society and capitalist (colonial) is the a place for the leadership style? How does Agricultural revolution that is socialist in content deals with rural governance? This is question important because, all serious anti-imperialist struggle are based in rural communities (Zimbabwe - Zanu PF rejected in cities, Cuba - Rebels ideological transformation (growth) on Sierra Meastra experience etc.). When we embark of revolutionary rural development, are we going to sustain these structures that have been surpassed by human development. Are we going to regress to what I view as feudalism? How to we incorporate Nkrumah's criticism of African Socialism as request of going back to communalism to our rural development as part dialectical materialism modelling? Second element is that Professor did not acknowledge the new era of knowledge economy (knowledge revolution). Does knowledge economy exit or just modern economics fallacy? Does it affect the relationship between the people and means of production? Is solution that our party is considering consider post-industrial revolution age (if there is such)? The technology development and technology capability reinforced the argument of rural revolution or back to countryside. "Back to Countryside" phenomenon is not society regressing.
