Well, Sweezy wrote, "What had seemed to many the empty boast that Marxism was a science of revolution was triumphantly vindicated by Lenin and his fellow Bolsheviks in 1917." --Leo Huberman and Paul M. Sweezy, "Lessons of Soviet Experience," in their Introduction to Socialism, p. 115, reprinting an article from Monthly Review, Nov. 1967.
If S. ever wrote what Carrol asks, its meaning is tempered by the statement above, especially if S. adheres to the general Marxist view that revolution continues during the building of socialist society, after the historic overthrow of a capitalist class. Just ponder the reverberations in the phrase "science of revolution." _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
