Main entry
- permanent revolution (Trotskyism) / international permanent revolution (meta-Marxism onto Stalin's Marxism) / worldwide revolution
- nationalism (George Orwell) / (9k) -> I put permanent revolution next to this one, because it is an absolutely delicious refutation of what Orwell was ranting about and tried to depict in 1984.
Marx and worldwide revolution
- Don't let the petty bourgeoisie stop the revolution in the middle / Drive all the propertied classes from their ruling positions, carry the revolution throughout the First World until the decisive forces of production are secure / The further particular individuals or fractions of the petty bourgeoisie advance, the more of these demands they will explicitly adopt, and the few who recognize their own programme ... might well believe they have put forward the maximum that can be demanded from the revolution. ... While the democratic petty bourgeois want to bring the revolution to an end as quickly as possible, ... it is our interest and our task to make the revolution permanent until all the more or less propertied classes have been driven from their ruling positions, until the proletariat has conquered state power and ... has progressed sufficiently far — ... in all the leading countries of the world — that competition between the proletarians of these countries ceases and at least the decisive forces of production are concentrated in the hands of the workers. Our concern cannot simply be to modify private property, but to abolish it, not to hush up class antagonisms but to abolish classes (Marx, "Address of the Central Authority to the League") [1] [2]
Set up November below February
(Marx) / Set up November beneath February / Menace February with November / Set up the workers' government (November revolution; workers' revolution) alongside the newly created bourgeois government (February revolution; bourgeois revolution against feudal order) so the new bourgeois government is not allowed to betray the workers / Alongside the new official governments they must simultaneously establish their own revolutionary workers' governments ... so that the bourgeois-democratic governments not only immediately lose the support of the workers but find themselves from the very beginning supervised and threatened by authorities behind which stand the whole mass of the workers (Marx) [3]- The workers must put up their own candidates to preserve their independence (Marx) [4] -> I think the latter half of that sentence is the most important part, and it's absolutely not remembered by Western-Marxists who talk about voting. like, according to Marx, you literally don't stop on the project of runnning independent candidates until you get Bolsheviks into office, and if that sounds impossible, then you finally understand the point. half literally, Lenin for senator. they don't get it.
okay, I looked it up and he said a lot about examining the actual situation and chances of success. [5] but the concept is still in there, by the third Duma he was back at 'Set up November beneath February' and thought it was more beneficial to the overall revolution to demonstrate the power of the workers' government. France and Germany together
(1847) / The workers' revolutions in France and Germany will not be independent, but will build off each other (Marx 1847) [6] / Their battle-cry must be permanent revolution (Marx; generic) ->
it didn't really go that way, did it? it was more like, Eastern Europe and Germany together behind the Soviet Union, with both of them coming out as flawed messes in different ways.
- Marx's strategy for transforming Germany sounded more like Trotskyism than it did like Deng Xiaoping Thought -> the first plank if you want to defeat "Marx believed in co-op theory" / "Marx believed in Menshevism". China and Vietnam are each going through slow transformations. Marx describes a quick and thorough process of removing all the upper classes and handing each property structure to the emerging workers' state instead of managing the same thing in any way it was before. [7] there's none of this "we have to compromise between the three classes of China / Korea" stuff where Mao accidentally (?) recreates the medieval estate system.
Meet the liquidators with cannons
(Marx) / Meet the petty bourgeoisie with cannons / [D]uring and immediately after the struggle the workers, as far as it is at all possible, must oppose bourgeois attempts at pacification and force the democrats to carry out their terroristic phrases. ... the immediate revolutionary excitement ... must be sustained as long as possible. Far from opposing the so-called excesses — instances of popular vengeance against hated individuals or against public buildings with which hateful memories are associated — the workers' party must not only tolerate these actions but must even give them direction. ... To be able forcefully and threateningly to oppose this party, whose betrayal of the workers will begin with the very first hour of victory ... the whole proletariat must be armed at once with muskets, rifles, cannon and ammunition, and the revival of the old-style citizens' militia, directed against the workers, must be opposed ->
well that's a surprisingly violent passage from Marx. to be fair though, he thought that some time between 1847 and 1861 there was going to very seriously be a Communist revolution across Europe. so it's not just phrases where he's valuing violence as some kind of abstract concept (a thing that Leninist theorists generally haven't done, but that Liberal-republicans constantly need clarification about), it was a prediction of what he thought would actually happen relatively soon.
the takeaway: Marx was no fan of "ink brush socialism" where you try to justify three classes being equally valid. what he said was to the extent the older classes use their ability to call for peace to rule over everyone you simply have to suppress them beneath the workers' government, and all the workers oppose them with guns if it comes to that. you do have to give him credit for being so clear there; I feel like even Lenin wasn't always as clear as that. Trotsky on the other hand, I can see the resemblance.
