Hit The North

Just want to say, you've made a series of great posts on the tankie thread.

Oh dear, you have a Rosa on your message board. There are pesticides for that these days, you know.

Hipsters are famous for doing/saying things for irony. It was a joke...

BTB:

'Firstly, you are really not good at name-calling' -- maybe so, maybe not, but I can at least defend my ideas. You can't.

'Secondly, I see you're still avoiding the central issue of how you are once again in the position of refuting Marx and incapable of addressing the implications of this for your interpretation of Marx's method'

Where did I 'refute' Marx?

Ah but I said you were better at name-calling than defending your mystical 'theory'. I am just as good at name calling as defending my ideas.

And there lies the difference.

Once again, you show you are far better at name-calling than you are at constructing even a weak defence of your mystical 'theory'. You can't even defend abstractionism now!

Jacob's 'programme' was just used to show an example of how people are building up their own, clarifying that the "10 planks" weren't really strictly relevant on how a Socialist state should operate. But either way, thanks.

I think about its typical exponents, their class, the typical class that comes up with philosophy, the role of philosophy in history, etc.

By exponenets I meant those who wrote about the theory. Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, etc. I'm using petite-bourgeois as a replacement for middle classes.
