Hey comrades, can someone please enlighten me on the holes that I have on my knowledge of China. I know that China currently has a restricted bourgeoisie class to be able to get enough capital to modernize the entire country. And that makes me wonder, if China has plans to eventually get rid of their bourgeoisie once it achieves it target goal. Does it have ever set a date or a specific plan on this?
I firmly disagree with this analysis of Marx. Marx did not JUST advocate for gradual nationalization processes, that is some Kautskyist revisionism. To paraphrase Lenin, that is taking the revolutionary sentiment and reasoning out of Marx and rendering him a sheepdog to bourgeoisie capitalism, something he very much was not.
It is clear that Marx thought that the international communist movement would emerge out of history, birthed not wholesale but cobbled together, as all movements are, through both violent and peaceful processes. In some areas that would look like gradual nationalism, in others that would have to be emergent from violent social revolution. There was no ‘one size fits all’ solution because what Marx was primarily focused on was describing the existent, novel and nascent, capitalist formations that were around him and predicting the reason and types of crises they would encounter because of their contradictory formations, than describing a theoretical communist society or even the ‘proper’ movement towards one.
