Motifs[edit]

  1. proletarian Bonapartism [1] -> What is this? Does it even exist? - Fails Sunny test.
  2. During the India-Pakistan conflict the Communist Party of India supported the bourgeoisie [3] -> I have no clue whether this is true but I have to doubt it. I think we've got a clash between Trotskyism and Maoism here? [1]
  3. The United States wanted to break up Russia / The United States wanted to break up Russia because it was too big as a countable Culture and thus overpowered in global conflicts -> this is a terrible thought but I'd believe it. the United States does some very messed-up things. [1]
  4. The U.S. petty-bourgeois layer has been whittled down substantially [2] -> dubious. Ignores the role of geography in creating local Artisanal cesspools and disconnecting "consolidated" corporations in far-off cities from actual geographical settlements. Fails question-begging test.

Additional remarks[edit]

  • Descriptions of world economic history were confusing and difficult to verify or falsify. At the same time, talk brought up an interesting point about countries chunk-competing over the world consumer base. [3]
  • Recent talks did an excellent job of portraying Trotskyist theories of populations as composed of material objects. [2]
