[Marxism] Brandler knew best
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * I'm working on uploading chapter XII and XIII of Werner Angress's "Stillborn Revolution" but this paragraph caught my eye. As I have said repeatedly over the years, the German CP would have been better off if it had ignored the Comintern, especially Leon Trotsky's truly misguided pressure on him to carry out what amounted to a coup on the anniversary of the Russian Revolution. This disaster in 1923 had two consequences. It weakened the CP and it helped persuade Zinoviev to impose "Bolshevization" on the Comintern, a transparent bid to suppress criticisms of this fiasco. Take note that Brandler favored a workers government, something that the Comintern was for in theory but apparently not able to follow in practice. Angress: The key words emphasized by the Russians were "[the proletariat] will attempt in Saxony to use the state power in order to arm itself." This, according to Brandler, was putting the cart before the horse. Brandler argued that it would be a mistake to enter the Saxon cabinet before the country, including Saxony, was politically prepared for an uprising which a Communist-infiltrated government in Saxony might bring on much sooner than was desirable or prudent. Thy weapons, which such a coalition government was to obtain, would be useless if the masses were not yet properly prepared politically for a revolution, and, Brandler argued, such a government might not even have sufficient time for the procurement of arms if the Communists should enter the Saxon government prematurely. In short, Brandler disagreed with the Russians on the practical entry into the Saxon government. The Russians saw only the weapons, while Brandler saw primarily the absence of the political and psychological preparedness of the masses prerequisite for a successful uprising. Entry into the Saxon government, in the opinion of Brandler, should not be undertaken on a coalition basis, and was not to serve primarily as a convenient means for the procurement of arms. Rather, the Communists should enter the Saxon cabinet fully when they could be assured that such a step would have popular backing, which would make it possible to create a genuine workers government. Once Saxony had a genuine workers' government, this could serve as a signal for revolution. By then the party could Ito reasonably sure of receiving substantial mass support, in Saxony as well as in Thuringia, and beyond, in the rest of the Reich. _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
[Marxism] David Montgomery on soil health
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * Thanks to Louis who brought my attention to David Montgomery's focus on soil health. I've been listening and watching some of his YouTube videos, one in particular, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj7zl_Ae5_Y which sums up his overall perspective (a 1 hour talk given to ranchers and farmers in N. Dakota). Though I read a book of his a few years ago he sort fell out of focus for me in the last few years. The post here brought him back into a clearer view about the problems of modern agriculture. It is quite worth studying his books and, his POV on on farming. Books include: Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life The Hidden Half of Nature: The Microbial Roots of Life and Health 1st Edition Dirt: The Erosion of Civilization = David Walters _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
[Marxism] California Democratic Party convention
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * Here is a report and some commentary on last weekend's convention of the California Democratic Party. There was a hotly contested race for party chair between labor "leader" Rusty Hicks and non-profiteer Kimberly Ellis. The background of these individuals says a lot about the labor movement as well as the Democratic Party itself. The winner of that contest, Hicks, exemplifies the link (bondage, more accurately) between the Democrats and the union leadership. Likewise as far as the presidential candidates who spoke. Most significant of all was a background piece of Representative Ro Khanna, representing Silicon Valley in the US congress. As the article explains, "What Hicks is to the labor movement, Khanna is to the “left” Democrats and the capitalist class."
