@WeGhoStyle So how does it follow that it’s a necessity in China? Do all precapitalist relations, which capital still instrumentalizes for it’s development, need to be overcome first? Or, were the productive forces in existence in conflict with productive relations in the 1840s, 1914?
@WeGhoStyle The world revolution failed and thus the Russian particularity of that revolution failed, which has nothing to do with the points made by Marx in that letter.
And, for good measure, the question once again arises: at what point in the course of the development of the productive forces do they become a hindrance due to the existing relations of production? At what point do they become destructive forces?

"Marx says that revolutions are the locomotive of world history. But perhaps it is quite otherwise. Perhaps revolutions are an attempt by the passengers on this train – namely, the human race – to pull the emergency brake."
—Walter Benjamin
You are a denialist and should be treated as such if you don’t recognize that the US has been, from its founding, violently expansionist. From the systematic dispossession of indigenous peoples on the continent to territories elsewhere, down to construction of an economic bloc
The University of Maryland has assigned the anti-American book “How to Hide an Empire” as the official all-school read for incoming freshmen. This is also apparently in commemoration of America 250!
This book depicts America as an expansionist, imperialist empire.
No wonder our students end up hating the country and supporting anti-American regimes.
let’s see how conservatives are handling conservation!
oh right, they don’t value a thing that can’t be incorporated into or instrumentalized by capital, accumulation, and profit, whether it’s nature, technology, or people.
Conservatives are taking back conservation!
If you care about conserving America's natural heritage and helping grow the conservative environmental movement, chip in and claim your shirt today:
The history of the capitalist mode of production is the forceful divorce of small producers from their means of production, their violent incorporation into the world market, their concentration in capitalist firms. Capital comes into the world dripping blood from every pore.
