It is very instructive in this respect to note that bourgeois economists, in describing modern capitalism, frequently employ catchwords and phrases like âinterlockingâ, âabsence of isolationâ, etc.; âin conformity with their functions and course of developmentâ, banks are ânot purely private business enterprises: they are more and more outgrowing the sphere of purely private business regulationâ. And this very Riesser, whose words I have just quoted, declares with all seriousness that the âprophecyâ of the Marxists concerning âsocialisationâ has ânot come trueâ! ^^^ CB: Most of this Lenin could have written with substantial currency in 2008. One group of the US bourgeoisie was charging other parts of the US bourgeoisie with "socialism" just a few weeks ago.
