This was awesome. afro

I'm not big on the Maoists, but I'd take them over this schmuck-o. Just a servant of Western interests in the East. That's all he was.

He honestly wasn't that bad. (I'm Chinese btw)

His government certainly was corrupt, but he tried as hard as he possibly could to prevent China from falling into Japanese hands, which did work out eventually.

Even if he did fight against the Communists, you could arguably say he was also the reason they gained power in China.

Communists in power in China? Shocked When? How?! Aaaaaa! I'm going to China! Wait... you mean those Maoites and such right? Ah those are not communists.

Japan controlling China? Maoites did better taking control from Japs.

He surely fought against the Commmunists till his last breath, just like Mao. And certainly they haven't got power on China consdering it was Mao and followers which by the way counted with good enough support by USSR. Had USA delayed dropping the bombs a month, Japan would have surrendered to USSR, Korea and China.

I just noticed this quote since Liche quoted it.

I think that there is a pretty firm distinction between Leninism and Trotskyism - the vanguardist ideologies - and Stalinism and Maoism - which are purely Authoritarian. Under Stalinism and Maoism, there is no mention of a "vanguard party" that I'm aware of - now I may just be splitting hairs here, because a member of the more Libertarian-oriented Left would raise the point that any political unit is inherently Authoritarian, but I think that the vanguard has a very specific function. It's not necessarily intended to rule over the masses - this is certainly true of Leninism, where the vanguard is, in theory anyway, supposed to relinquish their power when the time is right - but merely to spur revolutionary action and to guide the post-revolutionary - i.e. Socialist - society to lead into Communism.

That having been said, I think that the Leninist and Trotskyist notions of the vanguard stand completely opposed to Marx's idea of dialectical materialism, which to me emphasizes the heart of Marxian philosophy. If the revolution is inevitable, then why is there a need for a political party to agitate and start the revolution? That never made sense to me.

I think that, in all honesty, the vanguardic model is more agreeable - at least, Lenin's vanguard was much more likable than Trotsky's "permanent" one - than the Stalinist or Maoist ones, because it predicates on the notion that its rule would be limited only until the epoch of Socialism ends, and Communism is spread.

To be fair, though, I think that they all suck, so I'm not sure why I cared enough to write this post. For me, Leninism is tolerable as an analytical focus - and, actually, Lenin's analyses of the State, Capitalism, and Imperialism are really interesting - but Trotskyism, Stalinism, and Maoism have got to be avoided.

Well, according to some Stalinists I know, namely modern Russian currents, they follow what they call Stalin's interpretation of "Marxism-Leninism" (read "oxymoron") in which the Authoritarian state exists to prepare people for communism... the state whithering away as people are ready to organize themselves. According to what they say so in practice they seem to be pretty much the same as what Lenin proclaimed.

The people are not that stupid to keep capitalism a hundred years more, specially given modern ways of information disemination.

Plus you don't need a party - you need revolutionaires.

In many respects, I think ZK is correct. Now I should mention that if anyone choose Leninism as an analytical focus, then that's entirely fine. But I think that there should be a bit of honesty about the fact that it completely turns Marx on his head.

Marx's entire theory predicates on the notion that changes in the material condition - the modes of production, the thesis of the materialistic dialectic - is the only motor for changes in history, because this creates everything else - specifically, class antagonisms. But Lenin's analysis was different. Rather than the economy being the biggest factor in societal progression, he argued that the politics affected everything, insofar as the State could be understood as a tool for one class to exploit another - an observation Marx makes as well, but one that he doesn't highlight for importance as Lenin does. This is why Lenin defends the vanguard; because he doesn't have a deterministic economic view, meaning that he doesn't view things, as Marx does, as inevitably progressing towards a brighter future. Therefore, it is legitimate and in fact necessary to establish a political unit that will guide the revolution and seize State functions.

Marx, I would argue, would disagree with this assertion in many, many respects. The factories, the fields, the workplaces were supposed to inherently invigorate the proletarian masses - giving them class consciousness - and they would, by their own devices, create revolutionary activity.

Now whether Marx's or Lenin's understanding of how history and society progress is more correct is, I think, a futile argument to have here. The important first step is to point out the numerous differences between the two ideas.

And they are numerous. I think I have more in common with Marx as a Libertarian Socialist/Anarchist than most non-Marxist "Marxists" do.
