Actually something worth while discussing. In another letter I recently wrote I said the following; "So their is both a general shifting of whole industries leaving thousands on the dole while to the east here we are seeing new slave like production units developing in production of textiles in Poland for example by a grateful but sometimes complaining working class of these former Stalinist satelite countries. Now the general atomosphere is sort of a time of capitalist wild west accumilation and exploitation of the former eastern block countries at the expense of down sizing in the west!" The funny thing about this stuff is that capitalism is using the downfall of Stalinism to declare war on its own working classes in the west. And then I said; "The urban poor and the general structural changes going on connected to technical advances and a whole new part of the world which is poor and anti Communist to the core because of Stalinism. Must be a god sent gift to imperialism. The only exception is Germany! Because I think their goal is a unified and strong new Germany being the present goal of German Imperialism. Although they are certainly having their problems.." I think this an important thread. Can anyone expand on it?
