I don’t have much to add to this piece, since you could fill a library with the Marxist literature and historiography/history I haven’t read. I did find this to be an interesting perspective though. I have read very little “Western Marxism”, only some core readings from Lenin, Marx, and Engles, supplemented by the ML textbook translations from noncompete. Therefore much of “my own” opinions are not backed by much reading, or praxis on the matter. So this was an interesting view into this conflict I see all around me in spaces like this.
