So really it's the bourgeoisie who benefit from racism
Your analysis critiques the bourgeosie but fails to explain why they should make way for Proletariat. The only way is if the Proletariat goes against the bourgeosie. But then they would be the new bourgeosie.
So, where does this cycle end?
This kind of gets into historical Materialism
We have not seen a revolutionary class establish a state like the former, it always takes a form which benefits their class
The bourgeoisie formed from the merchant class and when it overthrew the Feudal Lords did not themselves become Feudal Lords
And I think we could both agree Capitalism is better than Feudalism
If the proletariat seize power they will form a state and political economy that is a reflection of their class and class interests
Nothing but socialism can arise from this
Btw I have to drive so brb
But there will always be a class that has power, right?
Ok
Well the majority of human existence has been in tribal societies where there were no class distinctions
there were de facto autocrats
chieftains
elders
theocrats
Those are not classes
Leaders will always exist
not economic classes no
Exactly
but involuntary control
Socialism is the abolition of class distinctions, not the abolition of the concept of leaders
yes i know
i am a socialist
In fact I think Engles puts it best
Are you a Marxist socialist? Or a sort of NazBol thing
i consider myself a marxist
the epistemological break is an important component to me
i find myself more intrigued with marx's scientific theories than his worldly philosophy
Well they're interconnected
I mean insofar as i don't need to rely on anything dialectical or materialistic to arrive at empirical worker exploitation and the effectiveness of worker self-management and proletarian freedom
or the validity of the LTV
or determining physical surplus
or surplus value
or that industries with a high labor to capital ratio are more profitable as shown by farjoun and machover in solidarity with the previously mentioned point of worker exploitation
Well, fair enough I suppose
As long as you can conclude with communism, that's to me what is most important
it's a possibility
as a theocrat i think an apostolic vanguard is necessary
Why aren't you a distributist if you're religious?
distributism is a system of creating a petty bourgeois
