Invariance
16th May 2009, 12:08
The aspect of this forum (as well as the learning forum, and the theory forum and probably most of the site) that is most lacking, i.e. critical and intelligent debate, rests primarily on people claiming no sources for the 'arguments' they hold. Instead, people rely on unsubstantiated claims, rhetoric, sheer prejudice and repetition in the hope of forming an argument. Whether it is an anarchist likening Lenin to Hitler, or a Marxist-Leninist likening Lenin to Marx, both require more than the mere word of the writer. People should provide a reasoned argument, linked to historical accounts or facts which are again linked to sources of which other readers can assess the veracity of. And sorry, but whilst wikipedia can sometimes provide a useful broad outline it doesn't cut it as a reliable source, which is why you would be laughed at if you tried to reference it in a history paper (or any other academic paper). Some claim that this forum focuses too much on Soviet history. This is probably true. But it is also true that it is approached in a totally shallow manner, and ignores the depth of the areas of its history. Small wonder why debates are repeated ad nauseum if the standard of debate is anything goes.
So, with this in mind I thought of creating a 'Marxist bibliography' which is somewhat misleading since it has to do with not just the theories of Marxism, but the historical movements behind those ideas. If anarchists want to create a bibliography of anarchism by all means do so. If you are as sick of Marxists labelling you petty-bourgeoisie, as I am of anarchists likening Marxists to fascists, then here is your opportunity to rectify that. These sources, of course, are biased from my own view and necessarily limited. There is no consistent means of form of citation used.
