Indeed. I was waiting for Psycho to stop using Cthulhu so I could use it. I'll have to look up your author.

Si, it is.

Who's the person in your picture?

Let me guess. That White Guard Anti-Semite caricature of an animalistic Trotsky perched upon the bones of poor Christian Russians?

It is interesting how the default position of right-wing extremists is to fall back upon conspiracy theory by accusing Gramsci of being a proponent of the infiltration of bourgeois institutions. The author obviously not only has never read Gramsci he had never read a decent secondary source. Hell he hasn't even read the Wikipedia entry on Gramsci.

I think you are absolutely right with what you have been saying lately. Most communists seem to focus so much on the proletarian dictatorship, without even mentioning that is is only a transitional phase to a classless and stateless society. While there are left communists guilty of this too, it seems like it is really the only tendency (along with Impossibilism and anarchism, but obviously I have my problems with those tendencies) that really focuses on creating a full communist society.

That being said, what do you think about labor vouchers replacing money? Also, what is your opinion of communization?

constructivism in general is pretty cool, but for some reason they were really into fordism and mass production and shit. I think the radical turn in art and architecture around the revolution years in Russia is really interesting, and there are obvious links between the censorship of this current(s) and the rise of stalinism (and people still talk about how art which doesn't have "artistic value" should be punished and censored, regarding that thread just now)
