Crews at September 30, 2003 06:30 PM oft-overlooked in marx's oeuvre is his belief that his utopia could only be achieved art through the ballot. violent revolution was not his aim. so, yeah, the analogy doesn't work. the instructions have been there, but no one has even approximated them in practice. more importantly, though, and I think this deserves attention from those claiming to be marxist, is that a true marxist would actually be a devoted democrat as well. |

| Wondering about supply-side list of themes economics. How is that different than your analogy. Posted by: bryan at September 30, 2003 04:47 PM The whole "but list of themes that wasn't real Communism!" thing has always bothered me too. I think there is some value in Marxist materialist theories and the way factors of production can shape a social system, but Marxism-Leninism-Communism list of themes as a prescription for social utopia is pretty flat-out bunk, as far as I can see. And yeah, I can see this applying to supply-side economics, anarchism, extreme libertarian fantasies, and quite a few other political utopias as well. I don't think it's something we'll ever get rid of. Posted by: mc_masterchef at September 30, 2003 05:32 PM It certainly applies to supply side economics. The problem with still believing in Marx, from an empirical perspective, is that history didn't take the course he thought it would. |
