Main entry

ink-brush Socialism / ink-brush Marxism (in reference to "apparent forms of Marxism")
ink-brush Socialism -> the motif of an apparent form of Marxism which tries to characterize "intellectuals" or experts that aren't owners as their own entire class, to the point something like the Workers' Party of Korea logo with three objects in it is appropriate. as you can see by a lot of things I say on my prototype I partially believe in ink-brush Marxism but not entirely. I think that it's useful to make fine-grained class distinctions, especially in undeveloped countries where there will be either more real peasants or educated-unemployed peasants, but those distinctions don't give people a free ticket to support the non-proletarians and give them all a pass to do whatever they want. ~~the power of ink-brush Marxism is to hand Trotsky responsibilities~~^{[error 1]} and make him obligated to support either the Soviet Union or East Germany at his choice rather than letting him go around claiming both of them "aren't Trotskyist enough" and they need to do what he says.

ink-brush Socialism / the triad (three-estate party) / the Socialist-Revolutionaries officially built their party on the 'triad': proletariat, peasantry, intelligentsia (Trotsky onto SRs) -> oh my gosh. the closer you look at the Russian Revolution (and the bourgeois revolutions of Europe, only after you've looked at the Russian Revolution) the more all the weird quirks of China and North Korea reveal themselves to be pre-Marxist things from older classes. this is embarrassing.

↑ Trotsky is not the one who needs to be "handed responsibilities" here. That would be the people being condoned in the three-class logos and slogans, who may or may not be protecting the Third-World republic at all.
