On Marx's own understanding of the consequences of such an "ndividuality", therefore, a "revolution" for which it was "responsible" - in the sense that the "individuality" of "masses" of 19th century French peasants was "responsbile" for Napoleon III - would not only not produce a penultimate social form - "socialism" - from which all barriers to the full "integral development of every producer" had been reomved, it would produce instead a "despotism" inconsistent with generating even that degree of "integral development" required to initiate the kind of "revolutionary praxis" necessary to create "socialism".
Ted ^^^^^ CB: If I understand you, your analysis would also apply to China in the mid 20th Century. Do you consider that therefore China had to go through a capitalist stage to develop the requisite integration of every individual producer's personality for socialism ? _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
