Conversation Between Die Neue Zeit and Zoroaster

  1. Zoroaster
    Ok, thanks.
  2. Die Neue Zeit
    The long answer lies in the discussion group you joined.
  3. Zoroaster
    I'm sorry if this is asked a lot, but what is "Third World Ceasarean Socialism"?
  4. Zoroaster
    I just got your Email. Thanks.
  5. Zoroaster
    Was the book "The Road to Power" by Kautsky the book about the mass party?
  6. Zoroaster
    Ok, thanks. By the way, is the book "The Class Struggle (Erfurt Program)" a good read?
  7. Die Neue Zeit
    The IMT have a crude conception of "mass party." The "Leninist party" is a distorted Comintern interpretation of the shared definition of vanguard party by Kautsky the Marxist and Lenin pre-Comintern. It is party-movement, and it is mass, too.

    Simply put, the class-for-itself is the vanguard of the class-in-itself. How does the class-for-itself emerge? Right from Marx himself in his IWMA years: the political party-movement.
  8. Zoroaster
    Thank you.

    Also, as a new person to Marxism, I have a question. What's the difference between the mass party that groups like the IMT and people like Karl Kautsky advocate, and the Leninist party?
  9. Die Neue Zeit
    Welcome!
