C. Schwartz,
Do I understand the Buzgalin article to imply that the
clan-corporates are, in some cases, using the social welfare system to
solidify their power over the workers? He seemed to imply that the elites
would not only withhold wages but also welfare services. If that's so,
how do you break their hold over the workers? If policies favor the
welfare state, the clans can use that as a weapon and if policies
undermine the welfare state the people are that much more dependent on the
wages that the clans dole out with an eye-dropper.
Also, is there any move on the Communuist party's part to try and
get the workers to organize and use their formal ownership rights or is
the party simply trying to reinstate the welfare state?
peace
