Ewan Tilley (@EwanBen) argues that Theryn Arnold's theory of "socialist state form" fails to answer core questions of class determination and therefore cannot provide adequate political answers regarding the People's Republic of China today. https://t.co/Cps7dMaoCO

That is not a criticism of Olding’s document. It is a description of the state of the left. The conjunctural mapping is more developed than the compositional analysis. Until that inverts, programme floats above the class it is supposed to express.

Partisan Magazine has published Brunhilda Olding’s (@Revmira_1921) report to the Fourth General Conference of Communist Unity. One of the most serious conjunctural analyses of the world situation from the Anglophone left in some time. Read it. https://t.co/BrJEgO7tpn

The document maps the conjuncture seriously. What it doesn’t do is descend from the conjuncture into the class. The gap between world-situation analysis and organisational task is exactly where composition analysis lives. That work remains to be done.
