some juggalos on my goodreads had "african politics and society" listed as a want-to-read so i was like yeah maybe i'll read that looks interesting enough. so i went to amazon and some failstudent was selling his copy for $10 (it retails for $100 or something) so i bought it. anyway today they cancelled the order because he said he put the wrong price. what a crock of shit! i deserve radically discounted books.

anyway leftwingbooks dot net is having a sale and they have lots of cool shit.

K. Kersplebedeb has been active in Montreal's anarchist and radical left scenes ever since he was a teenager in the 1980s.

Since 1998 he has run a radical distro under the name Kersplebedeb, producing agit prop materials as well as important (if underappreciated!) political books and pamphlets. Kersplebedeb is a non-sectarian project, but attempts to explore anti-patriarchal and anti-imperialist politics within an anti-capitalist framework. For the past several years K. has also written in and maintained a blog, Sketchy Thoughts, both as a way to archive facts and observations for his own use, and as a way to try out new thoughts in public.

K. worked as a research assistant on the recently published first volume of The Red Army Faction, a Documentary History, and believes that - somewhat counterintuitively - North American activists today can learn some surprisingly relevant lessons by looking at this history of this defunct German guerilla organization. To this end, K. also maintains a website about the RAF and other West German revolutionary organizations at http://www.germanguerilla.com/

"Detention for one month, Potter!" yelled McGonagall, using racially oppressive language. I ignored her extremist racist rank as I sat back in my seat.

"I hope this teaches you a lesson," said Hermione elitistly. "Stirring up trouble has never fixed anything. We need evolution, not revolution."

"Yeah, because Comrade Lenin didn't fix anything when he was 'stirring up trouble!'" I snapped sarcastically.

"Well, he didn't," replied Hermione in a naggy voice. "The Soviet Union was the evil empire. I know it's true because Reagan said so and he couldn't possibly have been a tool of the capitalistic system. Why don't you forget about communism and be a liberal like me? We're the ones who truly care about the people."

"If only you liberals could hear yourselves," I said angrily. "You say you care about the workers, and yet you always side with the FUCKING BOURGEOISIE! Liberals are not fighting the capitalist system of imperialistical corporate exploitation, they're PART OF IT!"

"There's no need to rebel against the system," said Hermione in a bourgeois intelligentsia voice. "I'm sure it's fine and all our votes really count. We just need to improve it a bit with some internal reforms and no scary violence."

I was so mad at Hermione! She had totally bought into the bourgeois lie of democracy! Whether politicians called themselves liberal or conservative, they maintained the corporate exploitation of the proletariat just the same. We had no real choice. What we needed was THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE FUCKING PROLETARIAT!

Who wants to give me a little help on why this perspective is wrong (or right I guess)? I get the feeling its Trot bullshit:

A: You're right that DotP isn't an idea that originated with Lenin, that's my point. Lenin simply put it into practice.

Trot Dude: Lol. Did he do that before or after dissolving the soviet councils and subsuming all their jurisdictions under his Sovnarkom government? Was it before or after he instituted the dictatorship of the one in production? The DotP is about the proletariat holding political power as a class and abolishing itself and class in general, not about their non-recallable representatives (such a petty bourgeois mindset) holding power in their stead and doing what they think is best. Marx makes fun of such nonsense both in his critique of mill and in the civil war in France . Now, you can say that Lenin had difficult conditions to juggle through, but that's a justification of the fact that he didn't institute (>Implying socialism, the conditions for the liberation of the proletariat can be instituted from the top and not from the proletariat themselves) either a form of socialism (the material base of that society was unchanged, and he and Bukharin knew and admitted to this) or of the DotP (the proletariat was relieved of the political power that it held briefly), not a rejection of that fact.

What are the topics I should educate myself on to have a better grasp on this stuff? Or this just Trot revisionism?

edit: I'll respond to my own post to show everybody how dumb I am. I didn't attend the Frankfurt school or anything so I'm probably not qualified to argue this, but my sense on this is that you can say Lenin did what you want to, it doesn't meant it wasn't also taking power away from the capitalist and bourgeois class and creating actually existing socialism.

Bukharin was a confessed traitor and Lenin died before the material base in Russia could be significantly affected. That was up to Stalin to do.

That's my analysis of this shite.
