Waistline2 : Speaking of the spreading revolt. "There is no such thing as a final revolution. All revolutions fail but never totally. The metabolism of revolutions is that there is a long incubation period building up pressure which erupts with irrational force. The irrationality of the initial burst does not discredit the validity of the revolution, although reactionaries always try to use it as a defense to discredit the fight against injustice. The assault on the Bastille was irrational and wrongly targeted, but it started the French Revolution. The Paris mob was used by the bourgeoisie to pressure the crown to side with the bourgeoisie against the aristocracy. The mistake of Louis XVI was that he chose the side of the aristocrats. If the French king had chosen the side of the bourgeoisie as the British crown did, France would still be a constitutional monarchy. When the number of the poor surges upward, the law of natural democracy will move towards revolution.
Henry C.K. Liu ******* Here is the stirring of the new proletariat following the same social logic as the 1992 Los Angeles rebellion. Sorry if this does not look like the "workers revolts." ^^^^^^ CB: Yea, LA pretty much looks like revolt, not revolution. What is this a Stalinist theory of permanent revolution ? _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
