21st Century Socialism

[Rakhmetov]

The bourgeoisie of Latin America has had two centuries to show what it can do, and all that it has achieved is to waste the colossal productive potential of the continent. Che Guevara pointed this out long ago, when he wrote: "The indigenous bourgeoisie has lost its ability to oppose imperialism, if it ever had it, and now just constitutes its tail. There is no more change to be made: either socialist revolution or a caricature of revolution”. (Ernesto" Che "Guevara, Message to the peoples of the world through the Tricontinental)

Sorry, I think it's funny Che said the phrase caricature of revolution. Also from the article:


For over half a century I not only have carefully studied all the works of the great Marxist writers, but also a good number of their critics.

Kinda looking like he's boastin' but I don't even know all the great Marxist writers in alphabetical order like he does. I'mma take it with a grain of salt, or at least enough salt for my Bourgeoisie Fries.

I see he doesn't like reformism, he likes revolution, this author however thinks that Marx's book written 150 years ago is the pinnacle of literature on this subject. If I'm not mistaken many books have been written since then that would expand upon his work like a reform movement and this man is waiting for a new Marx to make a revolutionary new book so he can have a new favourite.


Debate in the hands of revolutionaries should serve, among other things, to clarify ideas and mobilise our forces for concrete actions that are aimed at the overthrow of capitalism and its replacement by a qualitatively superior system: socialism.

Sounds like a plan, in fact I was just talking 'bout this the other day, how leftists need to take back control of the collective discussion away from the topic of the legitimacy of violence like the bourgeoisie media seem to want us to stay stuck on. Only then can we move forward because right now we are banging our head against this wall between black bloc and white with this never-ending debate about the place violence has, but what we need to do is find the topic we need to talk about.


Nothing and nobody must deviate from this goal.

He's also quite a fanatic; won't change his mind, won't change the topic. :lol:
